I'M NOT DEAD!

Am I really averaging one post a month!? I know I've been apologizing a lot for that....so you probably don't want to hear any more of it. Instead, I'll take a different approach. This semester ends in two weeks, so I'm making a list of all the manga and novels I need to put together. I'll finish them all over winter break! Just you wait! I'll update the site (adding the cover images I've been neglecting). I'll add new volumes, new series, new novels! I'll get translations and scans and work my butt off to be caught up for the new year! It'll be an extreme New Year's, I promise.

Anyways, if you haven't already noticed, I've added the two new Bleach vols, 50 and 51, with all-English translations. I also FINALLY got my hands on Kekkaishi 33 (yeah, now that 35 is gonna come out soon :\ ).

To anyone who still comes around here, thank you! And I'm sorry that there haven't been any updates. I won't let you down. I may even post a few sneak-peaks of what I'm gonna be adding later, just so you won't be disappointed until New Years :3
Ja, mata ne~

....

Hyaa, hisashiburi~

Been a while, eh......and I'm really sorry. I don't ever feel like doing anything =_= But I've got something for you today, though I should be working on a speech that's due tomorrow.....

Anyways! I've got Bleach volumes 48 and 49 up! Yay, yay, yay!

....I hope it's not another month before I add some more....
Sorry >_>

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 :)

Ready, Set, Go!

Yay! I've got English extras for a few more series!

Soul Eater vols 1-7 (cleaned up & added all English extras)
Black Butler vol 10 (English omake & fixed black pages between chapters)
Bakuman vols 1-10 (added all English extras)

As the new volumes of these come out in the US, I should be able to get my hands on them now and replace the extras. Exciting, right!

AND! I finally got around to watching Baccano!, and it's ten times more interesting than I thought it would be. The translations for the novels, well, there's actually a lot! SO, I'm going to be adding those :) For now, vols 1-4 are done. I'm trying to finish one novel a day.

On a very small side note, I haven't gotten all of the D.Gray-man up yet..but I'm working on it...
On another, even smaller side note, Mirai Nikki is now gone....not that anyone ever downloaded it....so no big.

Ja, ne~

Finally, ne~

Just like I said, some awesome stuff I've been waiting on:

Bleach vols 42 & 43
Naruto vol 57

AND, I've got almost 2/3 of D.Gray-man done, so I'll start uploading those. I think I'm going to be stopping by another library later this week, so expect even more english extra pages (for the series that I already have up) in the future!

An End to the Legend

The last volumes was released this week of Bakuman. I haven't read it yet since I'm waiting until the anime is finished, but I really love the characters of this series (Nizuma-kun in particular!). It's kind of sad to see it end, but this is ultimately my goal for each series, to reach the end and have it all up. Today, although bittersweet, I'm happy to announce that Bakuman. vol 20 is up, and with that the series is concluded. I'm working on possibly getting my hands on the hard copies to replace the extras, but that's literally only the intro character page at the beginning. A good series. A fine series. I'm excited to watch the third season of the anime, I don't want to wait until October :3

Oh, and I still haven't updated the html on the "other manga" pages where Bakuman. is.....but I will soon....I promise...
Ja, mata ne~

Surprise!...or Not

I decided to wait a couple days, make everyone think "Gah, you liar! You're just as slow as the rest of them!", then throw those words in your face as I release vols 4-6 right here, right now! Muahahaha! HunterxHunter is now caught up (for the most part). I know my scans aren't the best (my scanner is a bit on the crappy side), but at least they're clean. Now, there are no crappy scans for the series! Officially saying HunterxHunter vols 1-26 (English extras) are all up and running!
I finally get to start on the next series that I'm really excited for :3
Ja, ne~

MORExMORE

Well, I managed to get vol 7 done just like I said, but Hunter x Hunter volumes sure are long. Ignore what I said earlier and just expect 4-6 done by the end of the week :) I also just finished downloading all of the raw/translated volumes for another ongoing series that I'm gonna pick up. The hard copies are being released, but I don't have access to them all....pooey. Super-secret project is still in the works. Sadly, I haven't been working on it much lately. I've lost all the fervor (or was it a fever?) I had that made me crazy enough to start it. But it will be finished! Don't worry, it's nothing important that anyone would be waiting on, it's just something I felt like doing...
Ja, ne~

Quick Quick

Hunter x Hunter vol 8 is done! Looks like I'm going to have to do 4-7 on my own, jwmad is missing :(
BUT, I hope to get one out every day, which means HunterxHunter should be done before the end of the week. Vol 4 (or 7? haven't decided what's next) should be done by Tuesday morning, then the next on Wednesday, then so on.
I probably didn't need to make a whole new post just to say this, but I'm bored again...

On a side note, I finally got around to replacing the animednl button with a new one, since animednl is no longer. I decided to use MangaTraders, since they've been a real help to me.

NEXTxNEXT

The next series I've been tackling is just about finished. If you noticed the updates box, you'd know that HUNTERxHUNTER vols 1-3 & 10-26 are all up. 4-9 have crappy scans, so I'm waiting to see what jwmad is gonna clean next, then I'll scan and clean the others. He's disappeared for almost a month, so I bet I'll end up having to scan and clean them all >_>. I may be able to get vol 27 within a month or so?, and vol 28 doesn't come out until September (I'm using the english versions, so all of the extras are in english!).

I highly recommend the anime series for this (the first one, not the newest one that's still airing). I really love the voice cast and the animation isn't as comical as the new series is. Two of my favorite seiyuu are in it, Takeuchi Junko and Takahashi Hiroki <3 The musicals are awesome, too. Wicked awesome. I love how all of the seiyuu play their own character. I particularly enjoyed the Zoldyck musical where Killua's dad and gramps were doing ****** and ****** like crazy! They're voice actors! Voice actors can do that kind of stuff?!?!? Japan really is awesome, you know. A place where voice actors can **** and ***** with the best of them.

Ja, mata ne~

 EDIT: Vol 9 wasn't so crappy, so I only had to replace about 1/4 of the pages. Anyways, it's up, too.

For Your Eyes Only

Alright everyone, keep this on the down-low, will you. We're finished with our first subtitling project, and since it kind of has to do with the manga here, I'm gonna post it. BUT, we haven't officially released the links to the public yet, this is a day-early treat for anyone who comes here.

Well, without further delay, I present to you:

Rock Musical Bleach the Live Bankai Show Code:003 SUBBED

For anyone who knows, this is the last of the main string of Bleach Musicals. It's now been subbed :) I'd love any feedback, since this is our first project. We plan on doing more Bleach Musical stuff, so we definitely want to hear you complaints & compliments.

For anyone who doesn't know about the Bleach Musicals, I highly recommend them, especially if you like Bleach the manga/anime. All of the main musicals have now been subbed, and you can find them around pretty easily (if not, let me know and I'll point you to a few different places).
Ja ne~

On a side note: Prince of Tennis vol 2 has been replaced with a completely-English version!....basically, I got the hard copy, so I replaced all of the Japanese extras with English ones. Also, I'll slowly be adding HunterxHunter volumes throughout the week. Look forward to it :)

Yet Another...

Yup, another mistake in Pandora Hearts. In vol 14, page 20 is blank.... For anyone who already has it, just save this page as page 20 instead (like, replace it).

http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/9886/ph17.png

I'll fix the whole volume later and re-upload it. So for now, vol 14 is down.

EDIT: Vol 14 has been fixed and is now back up. Also, in vol 15, page 105 shouldn't be there. So I re-uploaded that one, too. I'm honestly really sorry about this >_> A good lesson for me, I'll pay close attention to every volume I do from now on.

READ THIS!

...a miraculous being helped me find translations for that one omake in Pandora Hearts vol 12 that I was missing, so as of RIGHT NOW, you should re-download vol 12 (yes, for one page...sorry about that).

Pandora-dora-dora the Explora~

Finally finished uploading Pandora Hearts vols 1-17. All caught up on this series :) All I'm missing is one omake in vol 12 that I can't find translations for...
I stopped reading at vol 12, too, since I know what's coming. My favorite character is....he's....(can't spoil the world), but I'm gonna start reading it again. It's a good series.
Ja ne~

Skip a Beat

Skip Beat vol 30 is up. The raws finally showed themselves :) Not feeling very wordy today, pretty busy doing subtitles.
Ja ne~

Busy Busy

I've been really busy lately working on projects! Almost half way done with my super secret project, haven't gotten much of any more progress done with HunterxHunter and Beelzebub, and started something new (subbing). BUT, I've gotten a few volumes of Pandora Hearts uploaded today, so I'll add those. I've got up to 17 finished (all with translated omake!, except for one in vol 12), they just need to be uploaded. For now, I've got vols 1-4. I'll try to add more every morning, when my internet isn't crappish.

Can you believe June is already half way over?.......I think I'm gonna quit sleeping. That way I get twice as much time in a day.... The way things are now, I feel like my time's being cheated out of me.
Ja ne~

Optimism pays off?

If you were optimistic about the Bleach volumes, then I'm here to tell you that it payed off! A genuine success story! ....but if you weren't optimistic..... well, it didn't make any difference, did it? Optimistic or not, the new volumes were finished before the end of the week!


Bleach vols 40-41

The main reason why I was looking forward to June so much :3 Viz is releasing two volumes every month until the end of the year! I get excited thinking about it. I was always disappointed that they were so far behind with Bleach, yet just a few volumes behind with Naruto.
I got volume 4 of Pandora Hearts, too. The scans online are so crappy, so I'm gonna scan the whole thing again. Then, the series will be done (so far) and I can upload them! Nyufufufufufu :3
Ja ne~

In a Row!

Another raw out today! It said 'low quality', but it was definitely good enough for me to use. But seriously, why release LQ scans anyways? Just scan it right the first time. Who's releasing them this way, anyways? 12mb for the new Bleach volume? It makes me sad, really. I hope 'they' release a normal version, because I can't use pages 660 pixels tall.

Sidetracked for a second..... Today's awesome June release is Reborn! vol 39. The covers lately have been a little crazy for the series. It just doesn't seem to flow right, but I'm glad Boss got on the cover! I wish Squalo had mad it too, though....
The next thing I'm waiting on is Bleach (in English), right? Could be a while before I get them, end of this week at the earliest (if I'm being optimistic), but I think it could be longer....

Ja, I'm gonna keep enjoying June all the way to the end!

And the first one is....

The first raw to appear is...... Bakuman. Vol. 19! I have to admit, this is the one I was the least excited about (but still excited!). I really, reeally, reeeaaally wanted Bleach or Reborn, but those will come in time. One more volume, then Bakuman. is done. I'm looking forward to the third season of the anime. I always watch all of the anime before I read the manga.

Speaking of Reborn!, I'm half a story away from having translations for the entire first novel! That's exciting, right? But I need Haneuma Stampede (Bucking Horse Stampede). I've found two different translations that are partly finished. I haven't been able to get access to picnicbird's version (is it finished?). If someone has Haneuma Stampede (Bucking Horse Stampede), please let me know! Don't you want to read a Reborn! novel on your Kindle? I do.... really bad.

I Wasn't Looking....

Bamboo Blade
I had put the series on 'hold' until I could get the hard copies. Well, turns out vol 14 was finished by the translators. I looked through everything again and found another volume that was already complete! So, vols 13 & 14 are up :) I know that doesn't mean much, since 2-12 are missing, but it's a start. If anyone has the hard copies, there are just a few pages I need from each one, so please help :3 I love this series and have considered buying the missing volumes, but haven't gone through with it yet....
Ja ne~
