This is the end~ Da-da-dum Beauuuuutiful friend… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSUIQgEVDM4   Full Metal Panic Sigma v19 (End) (!Sigma19 !FMPS19) – And here it is, the conclusion to Full Metal Panic Sigma. We starrted on the series in late 2008, so it’s been a little bit over five years. It’s gone through using shitty pub raws for the first three volumes to me scanning volumes 4-19, from having a short lived joint because of the lack of staff to finishing the series in good, proper fashion, from having some crazed super-religious faggot acting…

Hi again. This many releases in such a short period of time is… unusual, to say the least, for us. Our QCer (dh85) came back from vacation only to tell us he’s still busy with something useless like school or something, I don’t know. So I figured it was worth mentioning since a bunch of you ask every two comments or almost now, to the point I’m getting multiple emails about this. The status of Full Metal Panic Sigma v19 is that we’re working on it. There are still a…

Jeez, what an awful performance. Oh, hey. Today I’d first like to thank our two new staff members, kuroto and Chuuka. Both of them applied over the last two weeks and thanks to them, we’ll be able to release some series faster. Thank you both for applying. Now, if only I could get another reliable cleaner & translator… 😉 If you’re interested, email me or PM me on IRC. Master Keaton 29 (!Keaton29 !MK29) – Newest chap of Keaton featuring… A duel! Both of our new applicants worked on this…

Hallo. So we were supposed to do a New Years release two weeks ago, but seeing as we’re the Italian is a slacker, we got shit done. Took him a whole week to QC a volume, that silly willy. (Love you Marco Polo <3) So for 2014, our goal in releases will be to get to 3,000 total chapters release, which will largely depend on the amount of staff we have. So… wink wink, apply if you think you can help out. Translators, Editors, A Proofreader. PM me on IRC…

!!Edit!! I completely forgot! This batch of release included our 2,500th chapter released! That also happened to be our goal for the end of the year, 2,500 total chapters released. So hip hip houray! So it’s the annual “let’s do everything on the 24th & 25th of December after slacking off for the last two months” release, also known as the Christmas release. I’m kind of disappointed by this year’s release by usual standards, because it’s smaller and I had plans to release at least ten full volumes. Yeah, ten…

So today, November 11th – and it’s still the 11th where I live as I’m typing this – is Illuminati-Manga’s eight anniversary. I’m kinda surprised we’ve last eight full years. But then again, there’s a boatload of good manga out there that hasn’t been found & scanlated (Looking at my Saruwatari Tetsuya pile alone makes me salivate…) so I suppose there might be a reason we’ve lasted so long. Big thank you to all the current & former staff who’ve put in some time to get releases out. It’s been…

So we have a new series called Raqiya by Boichi today and I already know what you’re thinking, “Another new project? Again? Really? Go fuck yourselves, gimme my [insert other neglected series here], you assholes.” Listen, there’s a little backstory here. I like Kotonoha a lot. I have a hard time naming a bad series they’ve done since they’ve started. They’re (or were, seeing as they’re inactive now) the cream of the crop when it comes to quality scanlations and series choices. So much so that, they started 4 series…
