Well, aside from changing "I love you" to "I like you", their choice of words tended to make him come across as more mean-spirited and clueless than Mazui's subs. I have nothing against them not liking Lawrence (after all, everyone loves Horo), but all together it made a pretty big difference in my perception of Lawrence (and him specifically).
Overall, if that trend continues in their other subs it might explain why some people have such a low opinion of his character. I'm stretching that line pretty thin, though, and I know it. I have no idea who watches what group's subs. I also don't have the time right now to re-watch the series, so I was curious if others feel Frostii is being unforgiving, or Mazui is being too forgiving.
Apart from a couple of tough-to-translate scenes, I found Mazui seemed to be doing a pretty good job this season. At least, their portrayal of Lawrence seemed to match my impressions for volume 3 of the novels (the first 6 episodes of the season). I have no idea about the second half of the season, so I'm trying to get others' impressions.
