Mangapanda is nice and quick, but they're translations are terrible at times. Grammar mistakes, a missing page once (Bercci telling Hisagi he killed Sasakibe), mistranslations (Like Choujiro using his Bankai 200 years ago instead of 2000 years ago) and some otherwise shoddy work. And the quality isn't great. They can be a little too literal in their translations so the wording of certain pages can be strange and erratic when reading.

Mangastream uses a lot of slang terms and take liberties with what the Japanese translations. It's not the most accurate in terms of what the characters are saying or how things are phrased, but it reads smoother, and they never deviate from the original message. Pages are of a high quality too.

Compare the 548 Thin Ice chapters. Mangapanda has a much more literal translation which is fine and all but gets a little dry to read and the wording just doesn't have a lot of colour and life. Mangastream uses more modern phrases like "Throwing under the bus" and the like and uses more profanity to help incite an urgency to the situation. Both have their merits.

Honestly, I'm fine when translators and scanlators deviate from what was originally said in Japanese.

Mangastream don't archive old chapters so I guess most prefer Mangapanda, especially since Mangafox and Mangahere and Onemanga no longer carry One Piece, Naruto, or Bleach.

Mangastream when I've got time for it, but if I have a busy day and just want a quick read through then I go for Mangapanda.
