It’s been a long while since I made a post. I actually set myself a goal – I wouldn’t make a new post unless we had something to release besides Bakuman. But I broke that promise… we don’t have anything but Bakuman at the moment.

However this will change in the near future. We’re not dead, just slow, because of my job and my health problems (which I’m happy to say are minor).

DISCLAIMER: I must point out that the SFW release of Bakuman 25 was in no way associated with [sage] and was, in the end, perpetrated by former staff members in order to make me “rage” and was intended to be “all in good fun.” I do apologize for the confusion, but it was not of my making. I recommend you get this release.

I must thank all my staff who worked on this show, and all the leechers who supported us. It wasn’t easy, but we made it. I put so much time and effort into this show. Although sometimes it wasn’t enough, I did my best. I hope that you appreciate it.

Here it is. Not much to say.

Torrent.

First off, we finally got our Hellsing 1080p raw. Took forever to encode, had several problems, and it turned out to be very large. Blame all on Tormaid.
Basically this encode is for people who really love big juicy encodes and are not worried about download quotas or hard drive space. Aka qualityfags only! Don’t pester us to make something smaller, because we won’t. And by we, I mean Tormaid. This is the size he insists it must be to preserve all the glorious detail.

Secondly, Bakuman 16.

We are transitioning to a new editor, hence the tag change. The editor from SFW and I finally parted ways due to numerous disagreements, most of them about committing to do Bakuman on time every Saturday ahead of most other obligations. The new editor shares my commitment to Bakuman, and in the following weeks you’ll notice that we’ll speed up our releases. There will still come times when we must delay for unavoidable reasons, but on the whole we’ll be faster. Thanks for waiting for us.

Bakuman 16
Hellsing 1080p

Jukey Edit: Oh by the way, we finished Code:Breaker, but we never linked it on the site. It’s on nyaa. Shout outs to Anime-Koi for the joint.

As for Hellsing 1080p, Tormaid’s been making me pull my hair out. First it was too big, then it got messed up, and now he’s working on another one. It’s just a really slow process. It’ll get done when it’s done. And it will be HUGE, for qualityfags only.

What’s up next is Initial D and Lupin. I’m going to be working on those this week and this weekend.
After that, I’ll go to SEED.

We are NOT picking up anything new this season, as there isn’t much to pick up and Crunchyroll is simulcasting most everything.

Bakuman 15

PS. How about Bakuman’s new op and ed? The ED is by JAM Project, and i love them, except the song is too slow and boring. Meh.

Long time no update. I was away for Xmas, New Years, and then when i got back i promptly caught a cold.

Then Hellsing OVA X came out, and I priortized it over Bakuman, for better or for worse.

So, only Bakuman 12 is out right now.
Ep 13 is @Editing
Ep 14 is @QC.

So it won’t be too long before they are done as well.

As for Hellsing, we always knew we were going to do it.
Many thanks to Dark_Sage for serving as guest editor, and Tormaid as guest encoder.

He is currently encoding the 1080p version, which he says will take two days if I want it to “look nice”.
Don’t ask me, I know nothing about encoding. When the 1080p is done, I’ll release it. And that’s all I can say.

Bakuman 12
Hellsing OVA 10

I had brought my netbook with me, hoping to continue fansubbing throughout the week. But it’s turned out to be unable to deal with 720p raws, and I can’t even run Aegisub properly. This makes it very hard to fansub on the go.

So we’re getting as much work done as we can, but I don’t think we’ll be able to release anything until I return on 12/31. Just hold tight, and then we’ll release a slew of stuff.

Finally got our site back up.

I just came home for the holidays on a day when most of our stuff airs! Alot of the staff is now home or traveling home. Unfortunately, that means there will be delays in releasing things. I ask you to be patient.

We have been holding back on Initial D 3 & 4 because there have been no decent raws. We don’t get the channel so we’re at the mercy of share raw providers. I’ll update you if there are any. I am NOT releasing with 40 mb raws!

Status: Bakuman 12 @ edit
Code:Breaker 12 & 13 @ tlc

But it’s now Xmas, so there will be continued delays. There’s nothing I can do about it, everybody is gone.

Hey, this the first time we were later than Funi. But that’s okay, we got to check up our stuff against theirs for once. I’ll try not to let it happen again.

Meanwhile, my editor still is holding up Bakuman. The script was tl’d and timed back on Sunday night and ever since then it’s been in editor limbo. I let him know that we HAVE to release it Friday night before the next one comes out.

I am going to be gone this Saturday, but I will be back Sunday. This means that if nothing else goes wrong, we should be releasing both Bakuman 10 and C:B 10 on Sunday/Monday night. And then we’ll be caught up finally!

Bakuman 9
Torrent

Due to a combination of Thanksgiving break and an awful workweek, I was not able to complete Bakuman 8 this week. I have now completed it and started ep 9. The plan, as long as my editor cooperates, is to release them both within 24 hours of this post. Cross your fingers!

This may come at the expense of delaying Code:Breaker, but that’s okay.

My editor is taking his typical slow time in editing ep 9. Otherwise, it’s done. Expect release Wednesday.
Also I’d have to say the same about Code:Breaker. Editor is missing as well. I hope to release it by Wednesday.
