Brand New Post

Well, I decided to go ahead and upload what I had for now. It's gonna be a bit before I get completely back in the groove...

I've got:
Bleach 44 & 45
HUNTERxHUNTER 27
Bamboo Blade 2 (yay!)
and D.Gray-man vols 1-7, 11-16, & 20-22. I'm using all-English extras for these, that's why there's some gaps (I haven't gotten the hard copies for the rest).
Full Metal Panic! Sigma 16

Guah! I wish blogger wouldn't change my page urls randomly. Sorry about that. All of the pages should be re-linked and good to go now.

Edit: So, I was bored and decided to buckle down and just do it. So, Break Blade is now up. I'll work on vols 9-10 later, for now it's just 1-8. The movie series for this is surprisingly really good. I'm glad I finally decided to watch it. You can find the manga on the first 'other manga' page :)

A Surprise a Day...

It's nice when something unexpected pops up completed :3 That's why I check the translators' pages every day. Today's surprise is Full Metal Panic Sigma vol 15! It's almost completely caught up. Illuminati-manga does a nice job with the translations, I really like the feel this manga has (although I've yet to actually read it....).

Still waiting on some things that I thought were coming out in April, but that's how the world of trans/scans goes. It's May now. A lot of exciting things happen in May, right. Well, I hope everyone's having a nice Golden Week!
Ja ne~

Panic!

A few days late:

Full Metal Panic! Sigma vol 14

I wanted to get it up as soon as it was released (since I check illuminati-manga's site every day for it), but my ISP blocks IRC, so I had to wait until someone uploaded it elsewhere.
I'm still waiting on Bleach 38, usually I'd have it by now...

Super End-of-the-Year Mega Surprise Massive Upload Update!

Muahahahaha! I made you all think I was missing for the holidays. Or that I had become a lazy, once-a-month poster like all those other lame guys!

It was hard for me to not update for more than a week, but I've been hard at work ever since my last post!

Since the end of the year is pretty much the greatest time of all, I wanted to finish everything I'd been working on (or said I would be working on) and make a giant Upload Update! So here it is!

First off:

Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu~!!

^^ my second-choice banner for the site. It was a lot more fun to make, but lost out to the one up now. Pretty, right!

Second: Site Changes

You may (or may not) have noticed a few changes to the blog layout over the past week or so. I changed up the index page, trying to make it a bit more understandable. Plus it's in alphabetical order now! I'll try my best to tweak the layout to ultimate perfection this year.

NEXT: Uploads!

Now comes the part worth caring about! A list of all my end-of-the-year uploads! (about a week and a half worth of work ^_^ ) You can find the right page to download all of these by checking the index (up top).

Katekyo Hitman Reborn! volumes 1-30. Viz stopped releasing volumes, so unfortunately only the first 10 have English extras, all the rest have Japanese. I finally found the raw for 32 & 33, but I can't find the password. How about a treasure hunt game? I'll give you something special! It's somewhere on here?

Bamboo Blade volume 1. I really really like this series, but the yen press copies are a bit harder for me to come across. I'll do my best to finish it up this coming year.

Full Metal Panic! novels 1 (Fighting Boy Meets Girl) and 2 (Running One Night Stand). Yup, that's right! Nowhere else on the web can you find these in English. I'm in desperate need of someone who has volume 3 now. Oh, and I'm sorry for any typos or weird characters. Once I read it, I'll edit it better and re-post it (that goes for all my light novels).

Moving on, the next few things are series that I've never had any contact with. So far, everything on my site has the 100% rm3991 guarantee of awesome, but I wanted to start branching out. I heard these series might be good, so I picked them up (big thanks to baka-tsuki).

Toradora! light novels (all 10) . This one looks like it might be a bit like Haruhi. Thanks to baka-tsuki's translations and site format, it was incredibly easy for me to get through all 10 of these in time.

Fate/Zero light novels (all 4). I'm really not sure why I decided on doing this series. Maybe because it was complete? Anyways, it's seems kind of video game-istic to me (like, those Tales of games). These novels are a prequel to the Fate Stay Night anime.

Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria light novels (4). This series says it's not complete, but it's been a while since the fourth novel came out. It looks super interesting. I can't help but think that it'll make your brain hurt, though....

Tabi ni Deyou, Horobiyuku Sekai no Hate Made light novel. This is a one-shot that looked pretty interesting to me, so here it is!

Fourth: Future Projects

I'm glad to be able to start the New Year with Baka and Test at the top of the project list. I really really really love that show.

I also plan on buying The Observation of Suzumiya Haruhi Fan Book, Durarara!!x9, and Durarara!!x10 (raw). I have translations for the first two, so I can scan and typeset them. Soon, I hope to be able to do Durarara!!x10, but that's up to the translators.

As for other future projects, I'm gonna keep up with the manga series I have now. Plus, I want to work on Soul Eater, but beyond that, I don't know. I'll do my best to add more stuff people like, so please tell me what you want. The bigger the list, the easier it is for me to choose!

And Last: Comments

I like it when people ask questions or leave comments.

If you're a bit confused or are having problems with my format, let me know! Or tell me what you'd like for me to work on next! Either leave a comment, e-mail me, or message my livejournal [here]. I know I don't post much there, but I always read my messages and comments.

Well, I guess that's it. If you made it all the way through that, THANKS!
Ja ne~~ and...

Happy New Year, everyone!

Good News (or not) for the Full Metal Panic! fans

....I'd like to confess to doing something completely ridiculous and regrettable today.

I spent $40, to buy the first two Full Metal Panic! light novels in an auction.... (brand new, though).
That means the internet will soon have access to Burning One Man Force and One Night Stand ebooks....

That's a lot of money, though, for me. I was planning on buying raw copies of Durarara!!x10 and Observation of Suzumiya Haruhi Fan Book (and I still would have had some left after that....) If anyone's looking to buy them once I'm done, I'd like to get rid of them. Full Metal Panic! is a great series, but not one that I like to buy/collect stuff from.... Especially not English copies....

Sorry, just wanted to vent a bit. I hope there are people out there that look forward to this (and if anyone has book three, PLEASE scan it. I'll do all the formatting and whatnot, I just need the text....) Now that you see my resolve for completion, I hope you feel inspired! ^_^

Quick Edit

Just to let everyone know, I did a quick edit/tweak of all the Full Metal Panic! novels if you wanna re-snag them.

Hardly worth the post, but oh well.....

Happy Saturday, Minna

Small update today. I know I said I was gonna wait for better translations of the full metal panic light novels 8-10, but, well, let's face it. They probably won't ever happen.
SO, enjoy Full Metal Panic Burning One Man Force, Come Make My Day, and Approaching Nick of Time on your Kindle in all its unreadable/uneditable glory (a.k.a. English)
My thanks goes out to those who translated it, but I sure wish they would have done a smidge better...

On an even better note, I received my copy of Death Note Vol 13, How to Read in the mail the other day. I've already scanned it all and have even started editing it! Yay! I HOPE to get it done by the end of next week (note, that deadline is tentative). I also have school work to do, so we'll see how often I squeeze in the editing.

Also (yeah, I have a lot of after thoughts...) I finished the first two Spice & Wolf light novels, but I won't post/upload them until I get vols 3-4 done. By that time, vol 5 will be out, then I'll have to finish that one... Anyways, I'm working on them (and Durarara, but that's a different and longer story).

I still have to get Naruto, Prince of Tennis, Kekkaishi, and Fullmetal Alchemist up... maybe that can be your New Years gift...

Yay! More!

I got a bunch uploaded Monday, so I'm starting to create and link pages! If you haven't already noticed, here's what's been added so far:

Death Note: 
all 12 volumes + special (I'm working on getting vol 13, so don't worry, it'll be up soon)
L change the WorLd + Another Note - Los Angeles BB Murder Cases light novels

Fruits Basket:
the rest of the volumes are up, that makes Faruba complete!

Haruhi Suzumiya:
the first six volumes of the manga are up and linked. I can't work on the 7th one until I get a hold of hard copy...

aaaaaand, the most suspenseful.... Full Metal Panic!:
The manga for Full Metal Panic!, Full Metal Panic! Overload, and Full Metal Panic! Sigma are all up. If there's any hidden translation of Surplus and Comic Mission out there, I'd really like to know about them :3
The light novels are up, too, for the most part. I only have volumes 4-7 & 11-12 of the full length novels and Side Arms 2 from the short stories.
Again, if anyone has the hard copies for vols 1-3 of the novels, please let me know. It's for the greater good of the world!!........

Anyways, expect Koukou Debut, Kasumi, and K-On probably tomorrow.
Ja ne~
