I think it's because
Akibaranger
is "more challenging" to translate. There are a lot of puns and slang in the dialogue that only the Japanese can understand. Plus, translating the names of the Chief Clerks can be a headache.
You can see how the Over-Time and TV-Nihon fansubs really contrast each other. In some instances where TV-Nihon directly translates a Japanese phrase, Over-Time replaces it with one that's more well-known to the Western world. For example, in episode 6, this is what ©Na tells the Akibarangers after she and Shimokitazawa Hoya defeat them:
TV-Nihon:
"Go wash your face! And try again another time!"
Over-Time:
"Don't call us... We'll call you!"
Personally, I don't prefer one fansubber over the other, but sometimes, I prefer the literal translation.
