Personally, I like it when they put the honorifics for some reason. But what really gets me is when they don't translate certain other things. Though, it is a good way to learn Japanese.

That's a pretty good point. But, even though I'm more knowledgeable about the Japanese language because of the way most fansubs are translated, I still say it hurts the show as a work. The main idea behind a translation/adaptation/localization/whatever-we-want-to-call-it is to be unobtrusive. If the viewer can tell that it's a translated work by the script alone, then it's a bad translation. A good script must work well in the language that it's written in, not the language that it originated in.
