From everyone at Evil_Genius, happy holidays everyone and may you have a great new years. 2008 is almost here and it has been a great 4 years since Oro first founded EG. We started out as part of DigitalPanic, a swell group of people in their own right that helped incubate us in our Gantz and Berserk speed scanlation days.
We did eventually outgrow (and piss off a few people) Oro decided to strike out on his own and with a bit of help from Mindwerks we are now self-hosted and have developed slowly over time into what you see today. While Oro has moved on to bigger and better thing, he is still the founder who guided us into what you see today. So, many thanks to Oro for pioneering the way and I hope that we at EG have kept your flame alive and made you proud.
Now, time for the torrents!
Torrents:
Yes, you read that right… Blame Academy, B. Reaction!, and AngelHeart! Woohoo!
Take care everyone and enjoy the holidays!
hbi2k Presents Episode 20: “Swing and a Miss”
EDIT: Also, we are in need of experienced editors. Please contact Eldo if you are interested in helping out, by emailing him at eldoes at gmail dot com or PM him at the forums. Some projects are idle with no editors at the moment, so we would very much appreciate the help.

Thanks a lot for the abundant X-mas release EG! Now we’re just waiting for berserk, but we knew that would happen, we’re probably still one month off. As for the brilliant Hbi2k and his abridged, episode 21 has also been out for about a week

Thanks EG for this holiday update!
December 25th, 2007 at 8:45 am
Happy Christmas!
Thanks for all your hard work. I’m trying to learn Japanese to help you out a bit. Might take a while though
December 25th, 2007 at 9:19 am
Merry Christmas!
Thank you for the releases.
December 26th, 2007 at 3:43 am
Blame! Academy – YAY!!!!!
/me does “happy dance” =^_^=
btw… Biomega chapter 40 (30 by Ultra Jump numeration) is already out!!
>_<
December 26th, 2007 at 11:07 am
Blame!Academy, great!!! Still waiting impatiently for a new Biomega release.
December 27th, 2007 at 9:08 am
Excellent work!! Thanks so much for AH!!
Happy Holidays!!!
December 27th, 2007 at 6:51 pm
We really do need editors at the moment. We would really appreciate the help. Right now our editors are inactive or not doing anything.
Cower, the translator and editor for Biomega are quite busy at the moment. I think we would be robbing you of the quality of work these two are doing if we were to replace them with someone or anyone else, and plus, I’m not ready to rob them of their hobby. It would be a smack on the face to them and you guys. We will release the chapters as soon as they are completed, mark my words.
December 28th, 2007 at 12:05 pm
Eldo.
I know, i know. I appreciate their hard work, and respect thou, for all that already had been done. Do not mind me – I am just damn otaku >_>…
It’s just that noone besides you guys and Hanaji-scans who still scanlating Nihei-san works
December 28th, 2007 at 5:54 pm
Thanks guys!
Happy holydays and cheers from Italy!

I wish to all of you a Happy New Year !
let this year bring us much of our beloved Berserk!
January 1st, 2008 at 7:22 am
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
January 4th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Happy new year to everyone:)
now to my question: where is the rest of b reaction? and how often does every chapter come out?
January 5th, 2008 at 12:03 am
oh miura why have you abandoned me so?
January 8th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
You know how to hold us Biomega fans over, this Blame! Academy will do just fine thank you =P
January 8th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Everyone says that you guys are soo good…but it takes you weeks to release anything…
I’m not seeing the greatness
January 10th, 2008 at 3:43 am
Is this the longest wait for a new chapter of Berserk till now?
January 11th, 2008 at 6:39 am
‘ppears so mar-tay
But hell !, people are busy with college & shit, i’m cool
January 11th, 2008 at 11:13 am
I don’t even know when the following chapters of Berserk came out after 293, we may have more than one chapter of Berserk coming by now
January 11th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
these 2-month hiatuses seem to happen every 4th chapter or so now. Releases have been very unstable for a couple of years now
January 12th, 2008 at 6:42 am
I wonder if the author of Berserk is getting tired of it. It would be a disgrace to not come to an end, because it’s without any doubt the best manga I’ve ever seen.
Anyway, I hope they’ll arrive soon to Elfhelm and they’ll find the elf king there. I hope Griffith hasn’t already distroyed Elfhelm.
January 13th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
@someguy: You know, it’s much easier to scanlate a manga that has been released. And despite the name- the group didn’t hire evil scientists to create time-travel or mind-reading machines(yet … ;>) so I guess we’ll have to wait a bit longer for Miura to create a chapter EG could scanlate…
January 14th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
All work and no Berserk make Yoski a dull girl.

It’s as krazyivan says, we are quite busy at the moment with either our education to consider or work-wise, so that has been a bump in the road. That isn’t to say that there isn’t anything going on, progress has started, and there will definitely be releases in two weeks. There’s going to be Breaction, Zetman, Biomega, Angel Heart and a new project or two. So just sit back and wait for a moment, OK? Scanlation is our hobby, not occupation. So, to people like someguy, it’s not our jobs to provide free entertainment to you. We don’t have that kind of ‘greatness’.
January 15th, 2008 at 5:16 am
Oooh, thanks for the heads up!! Can’t wait for more Angel Heart!!!!
Thanks!
January 16th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
@someguy, you don’t recognize the greatness? That’s other people’s perogative to say so. Sounds like you’re just a hater, who just so happens to download manga from this site.
Don’t bite the hand that feeds. otherwise you’re just complaining about nothing.
January 17th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
When will the next Berserk chapter come out?
January 17th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
whatever peeps…
everytime there’s been a long wait, the fix in the end is pretty fullfilling (sometimes, but that’s Miura’s head)
Live Long EG
(wow, sounds like an ad for a washing machine !)
January 20th, 2008 at 5:29 am
Well, I think that waiting for Berserk has become a little too much for me. I think I’ll stop paying attention to it and pick it up maybe a year from now when he’s updated it a bit.
Until then I hope everyone here at Evil Genius has a good life.
January 20th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Man, berserk is the best anime and now we fans have to wait like this. I’m not saying its any one here at evil genius’ fault, it’s just that its so ironical that the most beloved anime is the hardest to see. All I’m waiting for is the moment when griffith and gutz stand face to face again and the final showdown continues. Then Gutz will absolutely pulverise that fairy boy griffith into oblivion. Did any one see what happened the last time griffith “attempted” to fight Gutz before griffith had sexual relations with the princess? oh yeah DOMINATED.
Story of my life.
I wish I knew when the next chapter was coming out, then at least I could be quelled. whatever, berserk owns, Evil genius owns, and we fans own for continuing the awesome storyline we know as BERSERK!
January 20th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Spider stay ’round ‘ere and wait to see the other scanlations you could find some other nice reads to help you with the wait of Berserk
January 21st, 2008 at 1:58 pm
damn… the need for Berserk is screaming inside… really loud…
January 22nd, 2008 at 1:46 pm
especially when one doesn’t know when the next chapter will come out.
January 22nd, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Miura needs to step up his game. he must be going through some sort of depression. If only I could civilly talk to him I’d even help him get backon his feet and convince him to continue for free. Dontcha think he has enough money by now to speed up production?
January 22nd, 2008 at 5:46 pm
NEEED BERSERK im addicted.
+ where is Evil genius , the site seems dull and abandoned wich makes me sad
January 22nd, 2008 at 6:16 pm
lol… year from now = 4 chapters if your lucky! lol.
January 22nd, 2008 at 11:07 pm
I’m planning to give a status report by this weekend, and possibly some releases by the next weekend.
January 23rd, 2008 at 8:55 am
Yay!! Status update!!
Can’t wait!!
January 23rd, 2008 at 12:18 pm
berserk is like a drug haha. i check the site every day to see if there’s a new chapter up.
January 23rd, 2008 at 4:57 pm
X3 To everyone talking about Berserk addiction, I feel you all. It’s almost maddening! I never have been so hooked on a single series before. Curse Miura for making such a good story D=
January 23rd, 2008 at 5:35 pm
So tell me. Is it Berserk or EG we’re waiting on? I’m cool with EG having other stuff to deal with, but it would be nice if our mangaku friend would realize that he has produced a drug that cannot be stopped or stifled.
I used to joke that Berserk would finish when I was 30 (I was ~22 at the time). Now I’m wagering on 40.
January 23rd, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Hey are you guys still alive or did u party to death on new year’s eve?
Berserk shall prevails!
January 24th, 2008 at 3:30 am
I wish Berserk would never finish. Then I would be so stubborn to keep reading it and waiting for the next chapter that I would probably refuse to die and miss the rest. lol… that’s a damn stupid thought… but I really can’t concentrate on anything when the wait is so long
January 24th, 2008 at 5:08 am
I’m torn between faster Berserk releases and quality pages within each chapter.
January 24th, 2008 at 5:50 am
2 months and counting.
January 24th, 2008 at 8:31 am
Can’t wait for the update and more AH!!
Looks like I won’t have to wait too long for my fix. But you guys waiting on Berserk sure have it tough.
January 25th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
I just finished ch. 292 after weeks of being hooked on Berserk. I totally wish that the anime had kept going like the manga has. The ending pissed me off so bad that I had to read the manga to figure out wtf was going on lol. Btw, anyone have any manga suggestions for me to read while waiting for my Berserk fix (that are on par with Berserk)?
January 25th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
berserk is the only manga that pulled my full attention i declair that its the top….the best……the ultimate….
January 25th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
indeed.. berserk is the best of the best but the wait is a bitch, i too started reading at age 17 now im 21+… berserk will end when im too old and tired for even read it
January 26th, 2008 at 6:11 am
The biggest problem IMO is that time doesn’t change just the readers(after ~20 years), but the author too. I hope he won’t start to get bored of it and that he will be able to maintain a certain plot coherence and meaning.
January 26th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
A full team should be working on this … cuz its worth it ….. bring back the tragic hero dont let this masterpeice die, im just saying this cuz time might really kill the manga series
January 26th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
long lives the tragic hero
January 26th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
I would first like to say that this wait is cruel and financially unethical. Why wait so long and take so much time just to put some some of the best peices of a legendary manga known as, Berserk. No chapter should ever take this long to finish. No set of chapters should keep the readers this antsy about a release date for so long. I just dotn understand.
January 26th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
hey guys a news to tell us what’s going would be nice.
I just feel like the website is dead which is sad knowing how you do a great job…
January 26th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
I don’t see what seems to be the problem. I’ve been waiting for such an occasion to do a re-read of all the previous chapters.
January 26th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
We know you are busy EG, and we do appreciate the work you have done so far. But we all know your lives come first,work, family etc comes first.
Thanks for all the work you have done so far, and take your time, people who want quality will wait.
EG, you are the best ever.
January 27th, 2008 at 12:29 am
@krazyivan
In more than 2 months I’ve re-read it already 2 times.
January 27th, 2008 at 6:02 am
Doesn’t anyone have mercy to us,poor fans?I have a really bad feeling about this Berserk delay…I just Hope Miura won’t let us down…Last issue was posted on November 22 thanks to the guys in EG…It’s January 27 now…All this wait is killing me and supports a fear that Miura is gonna stop Berserk.Then what??
January 27th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
@Eldo
what about the status report u wanted to give this weekend?
Hope u can give us a date for the release of berserk, biomega and/or zetman
And thanks a lot for the thing u do, i/we apreciate u for doing that
greetings from germany
January 31st, 2008 at 8:53 pm
The only manga I can think rival Berserk in both art and story would have to be Battle Angel Alita.
February 9th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
I really hope nothing bad has happened to Miura…
