In the Heat of the Moment…

BakaOne

Today was an interesting day, to say at the least. I started the morning with some web browsing… To see that the first five sites I go to are ‘shut down’. The first time I see it, I don’t panic- due to the nature of the site, I knew it was only a matter of time… But it wasn’t long before I began to suspect that somebody, somewhere had given the order and now companies everywhere were cracking down on the internet. I almost contemplated jumping into the car and…

The Return of the King…

BakaOne

After a week and a half or so of silence (that is, until Deus broke it) I’m here to reassure you that Illuminati-Manga is still, in fact, alive. And more importantly, I’m alive as well. There’s a couple of things that’s keeping Illuminati-Manga busy… We’re currently re-organizing staff and training editors to maintain a level of quality so our releases are consistently high-quality instead of sometimes looking like crap and sometimes looking great. Also, I think we might’ve lost a couple of members here and there which might account for…

BakaOne and the Amazing Pear

BakaOne

Gantz 225 is out… Yes, 225 not 224. There was a mistake in the naming process, and we somehow ended up with a chapter 225 named 224. It wasn’t intentional, and we’re not to blame… Kurono’s to blame. We were all distracted by his manliness in one of the flashback scenes, so we missed the misnaming of the files completely. You’ll see what I mean.Anyways, it really, really shouldn’t matter unless:A) You’re archiving it or using it for distroing purposes.orB) Your girlfriend (or boyfriend… Girls do exist on the internet)…

She Sells Seashells By The Seashore…

(Original Title That I Can’t Use Because Kei Set The Title Limit To 50 Characters: He Said That She Said That They Said That We Said That I Posted The News.) As you may or may not have noticed, the latest releases function is working… One click and you’re off to a forum post that directs you to the torrent and HTTP links, or in EL’s case, a nice big sign pointing to our IRC channels. You can thank Kei^ for that. The latest releases function, not the sign. So,…

Gantz 224!

BakaOne

You know, scanslating isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Why do we do it? Some do it for the fans and community, some do it for the power and prestige and some do it to get emails with pictures from supermodels(Who are all probably busy e-mailing groups that do shoujo anyways)… Me? I personally do it so I can post on the news.Anyways, if you read the title, you know what’s up for grabs, and here’s where to grab it:Gantz 224 TorrentGantz 224 HTTP

New Joint…

BakaOne

Well, as you’ve no doubt noticed, our pace has slowed down considerably when it comes to our releases… Due to an assortment of difficulties. I know that it’s a free service and all, like some of you’ve mentioned in the comments of my last news post- but with all the assurances and claims made, I have to at least have the decency to feel a bit disappointed at the fact that we haven’t released as soon as possible for the public.Anyways, we’ve decided to turn Gantz into a joint project…

Gantz & Naruto Delay

BakaOne

Alternatively titled as “Why the hell are we taking so long?”I could give you a list of excuses, but I’m sure you don’t want to hear any of them… So just know that Naruto’s probably going to be released today, and Gantz will follow after it maybe today, probably tomorrow. I’m sure we’re more known for our work on Gantz than our work on Naruto- but it’s just the way things turned out with the order of the raws.
