Happy Holidays!

  » Posted December 24th, 2007 by psi29a

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

    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 :)

  9. Alb Says:

    Merry Christmas!

    Thank you for the releases.

  10. Cower Says:

    Blame! Academy – YAY!!!!!
    /me does “happy dance” =^_^=
    btw… Biomega chapter 40 (30 by Ultra Jump numeration) is already out!!
    >_<

  11. PLUG Says:

    Blame!Academy, great!!! Still waiting impatiently for a new Biomega release.

  12. Hikarub Says:

    Excellent work!! Thanks so much for AH!!

    Happy Holidays!!!

  13. Eldo Says:

    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.

  14. Cower Says:

    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

  15. Cla Says:

    Thanks guys!

    Happy holydays and cheers from Italy!
    :)

  16. Mystyc_Vegeta Says:

    I wish to all of you a Happy New Year !
    let this year bring us much of our beloved Berserk!

  17. Abbe Says:

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

  18. TaMmIzZ Says:

    Happy new year to everyone:)
    now to my question: where is the rest of b reaction? and how often does every chapter come out?

  19. METHod Says:

    oh miura why have you abandoned me so?

  20. DiscoMouse Says:

    You know how to hold us Biomega fans over, this Blame! Academy will do just fine thank you =P

  21. someguy Says:

    Everyone says that you guys are soo good…but it takes you weeks to release anything…

    I’m not seeing the greatness

  22. Marte Says:

    Is this the longest wait for a new chapter of Berserk till now?

  23. Ahmed Says:

    ‘ppears so mar-tay
    But hell !, people are busy with college & shit, i’m cool

  24. PW Says:

    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 :D

  25. BigBonk Says:

    these 2-month hiatuses seem to happen every 4th chapter or so now. Releases have been very unstable for a couple of years now

  26. Marte Says:

    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.

  27. krazyivan Says:

    @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…

  28. yoski Says:

    All work and no Berserk make Yoski a dull girl.
    All work and no Berserk make Yoski a dull girl.
    All work and no Berserk make Yoski a dull girl.
    All work and no Berserk make Yoski a dull girl.

  29. Eldo Says:

    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’.

  30. Hikarub Says:

    Oooh, thanks for the heads up!! Can’t wait for more Angel Heart!!!!

    Thanks!

  31. InterRage Says:

    @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.

  32. Thankful person Says:

    When will the next Berserk chapter come out?

  33. Ahmed Says:

    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 !)

  34. Spiderbait Says:

    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.

  35. Thankful Member Says:

    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!

  36. DeMs Says:

    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 :)

  37. Mystyc Vegeta Says:

    damn… the need for Berserk is screaming inside… really loud…

  38. InterRage Says:

    especially when one doesn’t know when the next chapter will come out.

  39. Thankful person Says:

    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?

  40. kuji Says:

    NEEED BERSERK im addicted.

    + where is Evil genius , the site seems dull and abandoned wich makes me sad

  41. Doom_Sheep Says:

    lol… year from now = 4 chapters if your lucky! lol.

  42. Eldo Says:

    I’m planning to give a status report by this weekend, and possibly some releases by the next weekend.

  43. Hikarub Says:

    Yay!! Status update!!

    Can’t wait!!

    :D

  44. scout Says:

    berserk is like a drug haha. i check the site every day to see if there’s a new chapter up. :(

  45. Sins Says:

    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=

  46. Dyhalto Says:

    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.

  47. oli Says:

    Hey are you guys still alive or did u party to death on new year’s eve? :)

    Berserk shall prevails!

  48. Mystyc Vegeta Says:

    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

  49. Wickian Says:

    I’m torn between faster Berserk releases and quality pages within each chapter.

  50. BigBonk Says:

    2 months and counting.

  51. Hikarub Says:

    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.

  52. SNOOPTIGGA Says:

    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)?

  53. kuji Says:

    berserk is the only manga that pulled my full attention i declair that its the top….the best……the ultimate….

  54. Daichii Says:

    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

  55. Marte Says:

    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.

  56. kuji Says:

    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

  57. kuji Says:

    long lives the tragic hero

  58. Thankful person Says:

    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.

  59. oli Says:

    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…

  60. krazyivan Says:

    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.

  61. Mohammed Says:

    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.

  62. Marte Says:

    @krazyivan
    In more than 2 months I’ve re-read it already 2 times.

  63. yatamura Says:

    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??

  64. EvilGeniusFanboy Says:

    @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

  65. Wickian Says:

    The only manga I can think rival Berserk in both art and story would have to be Battle Angel Alita.

  66. Deppie Says:

    I really hope nothing bad has happened to Miura…
