…and suddenly a new turn of events in the scanlating world!

I’m in da scanlation community cuz of various reasons but that’s a topic for another day. For a day when I got lots of time and don’t know what to write about.

Today we shall talk about the latest in the scanlation world. There are two new things in it: “MangaHelpers’ 180% turn” and “The new history site of Scanlations” which aired yesterday, 10/10;2010 at 10. (I was reading and looking at it before though, kekeke)

In this post I will write a little about Mangahelpers. The next one will be on the site…will write it in the evening.^^

Mangahelpers (MH), who supported scanlations in the past (which we all know are illegal stuff) are trying to make a deal with Viz to support them so they can make the scanlations “legal”. This is not a problem but they want to help Viz hunt down the other scanlators. Also take money for future scanlations on their site, which other people made, by making it pay pr view.

Reason: They want to earn on the community “they” made which lots of people are using cuz they found a common place/site. Yep, the usual: Let’s use others to make money ourself.

What is MH?

This is MangaHelpers.

A place, where raw providers upload their raws, translators translate what they want after their own choice (from the manga that were put up on the site), editors edit what they want and it’s released on the site. If someone wanted to make a group and release manga they can get that function on MH too. After a year or two (MH 4 years old now) this resulted in

First japanese class

I had my first “serious” Japanese class yesterday….gonna have one again tomorrow. When  I say “serious” I mean that I will take it much seriously then I’ve done so far. After having Japanese for the last  years once pr month (normally you meet once pr week but I didn’t have time to do so…) it’s only fair to Japanese and myself that I take it seriously this time.

So what did we do yesterday? …nothing much just learned the first 25 out of 50 hiragana alphabets in one go!

People were having headaches since it was a lot at once, lol. I was relaxing since I know my hiragana (know my katakana too but mix them up sometimes) so in the break I did the homework we had gotten for the weekend. Yeah, I’m a smart-ass…buzz off

So while I was doing it…you have to remember these are for people who never had Japanese before…I noticed something funny and noticeable. You had to take find the right romaji (roman alphabet) for the right hiragana word…and later write the right hiragane for the right romaji word.

Anyway, the words I stumbled onto while doing the exercises were stuff like:

Page 1: 3.ai (love) 4.kako(past) 5.kui(regret) ….Tell me did they take this out from a love novel?

Page 2: 6.suso (hemline) ….Yep, seems so >.> Can’t wait for the next page…zzzzz…

Page 3: 1.hifu(skin)….Omg erotic romance novel ~~~~

Page 3: 3. hone(bone) 4.shinu(die)…..Wtf! Did we just go emo and dystopia?

Page 3: 6. hiniku(sarcasm) …..No shit! lol!

Weeekend! Time to listen to some musique~

So after running away last time by just making a little post about my wall…yeah I felt a little bad about it ….I decided to write a bit about some of the musique listen to. Well I listen to a lot but still…if I take a few songs and their artist I should be able to make lots of posts, lol.

Today it will be Ar Tonelico’s turn. If you haven’t played the games, watched the ova or read the manga….then you can still enjoy the great music it got. If I can so can you

So lets the musique show begin with my favorite~

Geh…uni sux but VACATION!!!

After fighting my way through uni and other stuff I now have a week of vacation!!! *.*

I found the pics for the manga but just posting it now would be bad (it shall be drafted and be released tomorrow or the day after)

So today I will present you the best doujinshi soundtrack I found while going through the C74 stuff I talked about a few posts ago.

It’s called “生まれてきてくれてありがとう” aka “Thank you for being born” by M.Graveyard. Think it was made for Higurashi games but not sure…so no comments there. (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is worth the read/watch though…maybe I’ll write something about it in the future)

I’ll now post those vids that were good and could be found at youtube . They are all nice listening to without being annoying which makes a hit, specially this time where it’s spring over here Here we go!

Another music video

Yep…accidents happens…nah just kidding. I’m tired, just too tired today to find the picture and load them up so I’ll post another music video with another song, I’m fond of :3

It’s from an anime, I haven’t watched yet (I refuse to watch 3d anime… -_- ), called Gundam MS Igloo – Apocalypse 0079.  Yume Wadachi is the title of the song sung by Taja…I would love to say a lot more but it’s better to hear it and see how nice it is for yourself :3

By the way…I’m only talking about the song here not the animation (geh…3d…gundam…*puke*)

Enjoy it
