Not saying this to be a dick, I'm just genuinely curious, what series are coming out (in english) that the scanlator's translations are better?

But yeah, if the scanlator's translations are better, I don't think that's a weird thing to do...

Trinity Blood. Especially the light novels. For crying out loud they couldn't get one characters name straight, not to mention that the grammar or continuation errors regarding eye colours.

The main one I'm thinking of is Maiden Rose, where although the professional translator is probably technically better, the fan scanlator puts so much thought and effort into it that I just find it truer to the original spirit of the lines. June seems to prefer using the most literal sense of the words without keeping the metaphorical ones, and the metaphors are definitely there.

There are a couple others though.

Hellsing, and in Count Cain at least on the names as the official translator had a tendency of not investigating about names as simple as Jezebel and Barabbas.
