Grumble
At least five groups are subbing Kanokon. Three episodes have been translated so far. Only one group is subbing Kaiba, and only the first episode is available in English. You couldn’t pay me to watch Kanokon. Kaiba is probably the most interesting show since Denno Coil.
There’s something wrong here.

There’s nothing wrong here at all! From the screenshots in that link you provided for Kanokon, it’s a no-brainer why five groups are subbing it. There are many boys out there who watch Japanese cartoons for the nekkid cat girls and boobies. However, if only ONE group was subbing Kanokon and FIVE were subbing Kaiba, THEN something would definitely be wrong. Hell will freeze over before the day a majority of Japanese cartoon fanboys pick an intelligent/interesting show over a fanservice fanboy-pandering show. It’s sad, but true.

And no one is doing Library Wars: The Library Strikes Back! Boo!

What NCKL said. Also, the staff working on Kaiba ep 02 have been held up due to real life issues. It’s past the editing stage, though. Just a heads up.

Subbing Kanokon has to be easier than subbing Kaiba.

For a long stretch there was only one group on top of Dennou Coil. Beginning extrapolation from a sample size of 2.

It doesn’t really matter to me on this occasion that kaiba has only 1 (well, joint) group on it, as just like Dennou Coil, it’s being subbed by someone I have lots of trust in and respect for.

“THE TASTES OF THE GENERAL POPULACE ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE TASTES OF MY OWN PERSONAL SELF!!! THIS MAKES ME ANGRY!!!”

Let me grumble and mutter with you – at least someone is subbing this (big thanks to them). With very limited Japanese language skills, watching it raw would have left me missing out on a lot.

Oh man, Kanokon looks like precisely the type of show that makes me embarrassed to say I like anime.
