Personally I fucking hate TVNs encodes in general. They use horrible file containers and do god knows what to the video so it always looks like shit. And for your trouble you get a half finished translation, where even the English portions are bound by Japanese grammar so it really never makes sense or reads right.

OT rips are perfect for me, the video quality is always great and although some people like the preservation of Japanese terminology and stuff I honestly couldn't care less. I'd rather just know what the characters are saying. So I'm happy for OT to take creative liberties and turn over every stone to make it work fully in English, it isn't like they ever fully make dialogue up or change anything, but sometimes when there isn't a literal translation for a name or something they do the best equivalent which I'm fine with. But some people act like stuff like that is sacred.

Only prop to TVN is OT cast a pretty small net. If you're looking for an older show, or something outside of the big three (including GARO) then you're flat out of luck with OT. TVN have translated almost a little of everything at one point or another.
