Elfen Lied 81.

Out on IRC and DDL. Go get it~!

The Christmas releases have all gone out. I would like to take the time to congratulate ourselves on releasing our 400th chapter with Abara volume 2. I hope that by next Christmas we'll have released over 600 chapters! :) Special congrats to #k-manga on getting 1,003 people in their room at one single time. That's pretty amazing. It's almost like a fansubbing group on Rizon. Good job~

Also, special thanks to the following people: (In no specific order)

-Amaru (For providing me with an extra bot for the xmas releases)
-richvh & methanol (For their help with translation clarifications and overall patience with my bullshit)
-Kuthrow (For essentially QCing everything I threw at him, I think he QCed 75% of what we released today in December)
-illiteracy (For the tough redraws I always make you do. You rock <3)
And finally, Digital_Eon. To which I appologize for making fun of you a few weeks ago. You saved me this last week with your hard work, and I thank you for it.

Thanks to all of the staff who worked on the releases and have a Merry Christmas with your family (Or whomever you'll be spending it with).

That's all, folks. Enjoy. Merry Christmas~

Well, it's the 24th. I hope all of you are doing good and had a great year.

In any case, like most other groups, we're having a Christmas release. So, come on IRC and talk with me until the releases start~

Our good friends in #k-manga will be having their own Christmas release as well, so I urge to visit them as well. They have plenty of good series and I'm sure there'll be plenty of new stuff.

So yea once again spam bots have picked up the fact that the site was revived (I hoped it wouldn't happen but yeah...) and have spammed the jesus out of the comments. Thus I have installed a really awesome spam filter (you will need to enter two words, just be sure to be signed in when you do) to prevent this crap.
------------------------------
Also I fixed GGpX project attempt.
FYI GGpX when you link an image your target has to be a sub directory from the site like img/imapicture.jpg (with no spaces, use _ instead).
------------------------------
I promise to show GGpX how to make a real project page and work out any remaining problems as soon as I'm done with finals (BioChemistry is using up 95% of my time). That is all, look forward to new releases of whatever is coming (and soon).

Holyland 16 is available via IRC and DDL. Go get it ;o

So anyway. We're recruiting. Editors, Quality Checkers & Typesetters. If you're interested in making the projects roll faster, apply on the forums. I'd also like to start working on Full Metal Panic Sigma, but don't have a translator to work on it, so yeah. (Hint hint)

In other news, Fruits Basket is [officially] dropped. Already been completed by another group, no staff who wants to work on it, so yeah. Begone! I'm also going to make an attempt to make the project page prettier tonight. Wish me luck.

Well, these last two days I've been able to finish off some stuff we've worked on. Hello Baby & Tista were occupying most of my time & attention.

That being said, don't expect big releases every day :p

In any case, the following have been released via IRC:

-History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi chapter 83
-Riki-Oh chapter 09
-Sengoku chapter 01

Enjoy.

once again you can find the ddls here: DDLs

Hi.

First of all, thanks to all two of you who applied as proofreaders (Much <3).

Second of all, we have a bunch of releases tonight! Houray!

Riki-Oh Chapter 8 Well, what can I say about this. It's fucking Riki-Oh!

Hello Baby One Shot Something I've been planning to do ever since it was first announced. I love Takeshi Obata's art, and Masanori Norita is pretty cool himself. Since the people in TOWNL like Obata's stuff too, we decided to make a nice scanlation of Hello Baby (You can delete the LQ crap you had before.)

History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi Chapter 82 I've said it before, I don't like anything about this series. But plenty of people [somehow] enjoy this, so, uh... Enjoy? I guess?

Holyland Chapter 15 Our first release with our new joint partners at Hyde-Ltd. Hopefully chapter 16'll be out not too long from now.

And finally, Tista Chapter 01. This is easily the single chapter that I've put the most work on in my entire scanlation career. You don't want to know what happened with this over the last 14 days. A lot of translation problems (Initial translator was off very often--To the point he wrote his own dialogue at some points.), had 4 other different translators chip in at certain points. Then I finally stumbled along richvh who decided to t/l check the whole chapter, and re-check it after I did all of his changes. Then I had to do the bubble-SFX. Then, the bad part came. Anath's QC. A whopping 7kb .txt file with QC changes. I felt like strangling him in the 3-4 hours I was working on fixing the chapter. As for the editting, I had a bunch of problems figuring out the proper sharpening filter on the back. I think I used 4-5 different ones seperately until I found the proper one. Anyway, to sum it up, a lot of work.

A special thanks to methanol, anpan & Kaens for the help on the chapter even though you weren't credited.

In any case, enjoy!

Release-Downloads (too lazy to link them seperatly - sry)

Recruiting proofreaders (Ammongst everything else). Kinda, somewhat urgent I guess.

I had 4 usual proofreaders.

1 of them is getting used to university & exams and is putting her time into school while passing by time to time. (Taisa)

1 of them disappeared, probably due to exams. (grlubb)

1 of them just bought a new house & his office moved along with more working hours, so can't dedicate himself to proofreading as much. (theAntagonist)

1 of them is on irc all the time but bitches about the same shit I bitch about, then constantly goes on about Dexter or DGM or some shit while never actually doing any work. (Digital_Eon)

That being said, I'd like to start typesetting some stuff (Tough, Riki-Oh, Holyland, just to name a few...) but I have nobody to proofread them!

If you wanna apply, you to need to have the following:

-Good English (Obviously)
-Either idle on IRC, or often active on the forums.
-Self-motivated.
-Good worker.

So, apply now!

Thanks for reading.

PS. Proofread this post while you're at it. Not that it'll score you extra points or anything.
