Status updates for the New Year
» Posted January 27th, 2008 by Eldo
I hope you’re all enjoying the new year. Now, there’s a few reasons why we haven’t updated in a while, one being that we’re busy. Second, we have our own lives to run, and can’t be on the Internet all the time. I just want to extend my thank you for the people who continue to support us, despite no releases in the last month. That’s not to say that there hasn’t been activity lately. In fact, by next weekend there will be at least 5 releases of Zetman, Angel Heart and BReaction! We are also starting several new projects which are short manga stories. We are not accepting any project proposals from you guys though, but if we do we will ask the community for help (if it comes to it, please don’t say Gantz or One Piece, the last time the majority suggested it I bashed my head on the keyboard). There will be some guidelines posted if we do choose to ask for suggestions.
It doesn’t seem there has been any dates set for the next Berserk chapter. So please, don’t ask. You’ll get a polite ‘piss off’, or a rude ‘go away’ depending on our moods. Also, if you think that the writer’s strike is affecting Miura’s ability to make a chapter, then you have to stop dreaming (yes, I have been asked that question). First of all, Japan is not in America. According to an atlas, there are countries outside of America. Secondly, I really don’t think that the strike extends and affects globally that writers outside of America are on strike because they want the the peanut sized internet residuals. Although I haven’t seen any TV shows come out from Estonia lately…
Originally I had an omake parody of how the Berserk lateness is affecting the groups of the community and wanted to post that. Things always sound better in your head, but fail in execution. But it turns out it was incredibly horrid, so if I get around to make it better, then I’ll post it next weekend with the releases. Then you can laugh at my ‘comedic genius’ or laugh with it.

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! π
Torrents:
Yes, you read that right… Blame Academy, B. Reaction!, and AngelHeart! Woohoo!
Take care everyone and enjoy the holidays!

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.

So many of you perhaps are waiting for the next Berserk chapter, while others are anxious for another bit of Biomega, Angel Heart, Zetman and B Reaction… here is the run down what is going on.
Angel Heart: We have lots more in the pipeline that just need to be QCed before we can push them out the door.
Berserk: Waiting of course… always waiting… for more… *sigh*
Biomega: We had made significant progress, but Nomimono’s laptop burst into flames and fell into a swamp. Well, not really but the laptop is toast and so are the translations. Good news is through this pain, he is a real trooper and re-translating. We should have more tastiness for you soon.
B. Reaction!: Progress is steady is on this, we hope to wrap this up too much like NHK. This will make 2nd manga we have finished. π
Zetman: Yes, there are chapters floating around out there but they are crap quality. We try to stick with the tanks (Volume) scans as they are really top notch. However, this hasn’t stopped our team from looking at the chapters to do a pre-translation in lieu of the tanks.
???????: Indeed, we have a treat for you all. Something we have found that EG members think will be a fun project.
And now… a message from hbi2k
Berserk Abridged: 18
Berserk Abridged: 19
Also, I’ve taken this oppertunity to remove the volumes of NHK that are currently out on the shelves at your local bookstore. So stop fucking stealing you cheap bastards and go buy it. Thank you Tokyopop! (please don’t sue us)
Look forward to more goodness. π

Obviously some of you are frothing at the mouth for us to finish up Welcome to NHK, all I can say is that the wait is nearly over. We are looking forward to another great release this weekend that covers a lot of non-Berserk related ground. Provided nothing strange happens, we are go!
In the mean time, hbi2k has made some releases that he would like to share with the community:
Episode 16: And the Winner is…
Episode 17, such as it is, is up.
From the man himself:
Sadly, this is where I call it quits. I know it’s kind of anticlimactic, but I threw this together figuring that a lame ending is better than none at all.
Let us all thank hbi2k for sharing with us his work. It has been a treat! π
