What? An update so soon? Really? Could this be?! Is this the same website?!
Yes, I can assure you it is!!
HELLSING Volume 9 - Chapter 3 - RELICS - HQ Tankobon
Yup!! We've kicked it into high gear!! Will there be more really soon? Well, that's our secret!!
Also, I'd like to take this time to formally introduce our new Cleaner, UV!!!
UV is the one who cleaned this here chapter, and boy does it look nice!! We look forward to working more with UV in the future, and maybe with this extra help, we can get releases coming out fast Fast FAST!!
July 5th
Hello... LONG time no see eh?... Well, adult life basically sucks...
The good news tho, is that I'm finally in an equilibrium, and it LOOKS like I may have another Cleaner and Textsetter to help do work soon!! So, things are finally back on track!!
With that, I have a few releases for you!!
First off, if you go to our forums... or ANYWHERE else in the Hellsing fandom, you'll know OVA IV came out!! And, if you went to our forums And SEVERAL other places, you'll know we FANSUBBED IT!!
Get the Fansub files here
NOTE: These are JUST subtitles, no video file. You need to find your own Raws to go with it, we won't offer them since that's Illegal, and we're afraid of a lawsuit... or at LEAST a C&D order. This way, if you imported the region 2 DVD LEGALLY, you can enjoy Hellsing with subs!!
There are instructions in the Zip as to how to get the subs working, just download them and read.
Hellsing Volume 9, Chapter 2 - HEART OF DREAM - HQ From the Tankobon!!
And YES, we ARE back up and running now!!
Also, a Special release.
Hellsing OVA OST Extra - Premium Disk (in MP3 Format)
I ripped this from my DVD not too long ago. Forum-goers got it a while ago, now you do XP
Last announcement.
Work on Jojo is put on Hold indefinately until we know what we're doing about the Raws. I got a PM not too long ago from someone offering to help, but he/she never responded when I replied, so I'm gonna try hard to hunt down a decent set of Raws before we make any more plans on that front.
Sorry Jojo fans, we WILL do more Jojo in the future, but the question is When...
January 2nd
Happy New Year!!
We enter this new Year, with a Gift for you. Hellsing Volume 9, Chapter 1!!!
And, you may notice that it, and all of our other Files, work again! You see, we've been having problems as of late, with our download server. The problem has been, simply, that we've gotten too popular for it. the 100GB bandwidth I bought per-month is no longer holding, so there would always be a week at the end of the month where the Downloads will go down. I've been looking for a solution for weeks now, trying to find a DDL server that would offer more bandwidth for the same or less money. I didn't find any, instead, I was given a very generous offer. A great individual named Atreus contacted me about hosing files for us!! I feel Psyched about this! It means the downloads WON'T die from now on!! He told me he has enough Bandwidth to take it, so we should be set! no more downtime for the Chapter downloads!!
Also, about that. I had to Manually replace each download link, and then modify them all (I messed up the first time, so I had to re-re-input them all) so, if any of the links give you a "File Not Found" or ask for a login, PLEASE E-mail me letting me know.
Chapter 88 HQ and Chapter 89 HQ will both be coming out together as soon as Zera gets his YKO. Nobody released a "Public" MQ raw this Month (only Saphire Diablo's Raws, which we can't use) so we have to wait. Sorry about this.
Now, We have JoJo News.
We have Decided, to Start Doing Part IV at the same time as Part III, due to LOTS of Popular Demand. So, Work has Started on Volume 29, which kicks off Part IV!
We still intend to do Part III as well, but we will be paying more attention to part IV. Basically, we will release two volumes of Part IV, and then one Volume of part III, and make a pattern out of it.
And, YES, We Are FINALLY working on JoJo. A LOT of shit Recently happened in my life that hindered this, but It's all finally over. A Section in the FAQs will soon be up detailing what happened, for the Curious.
EDIT: There was a Mistake, that resulted in My FTP program not actually uploading this, but telling me it did. So, I'm sorry every other part of the Site was updated with the new Chapter, except the news sections. It should be fixed now.
December 8th
Once again, I bring you good tidings in the form of this month's chapter of Hellsing, scanlated in medium quality from the "Public" YKO Raws that Ritual Scan Forge is hosting that they got from some Japanese dude on Share or Winny.
So, without further adieu...
HELLSING - Chapter 88: BLACK ONYX 1
Enjoy!
Now, the Chapter's Title clearly says "Black Onyx 1" meaning, quite clearly that next month's chapter will be "Black Onyx 2". So Chapter 89 now has a listing in the downloads section under that name. (with the date it comes out in Japan listed with it)
Since Hirano likes to take those pesky breaks, I'll be, from now on listing the Next Chapter in the downloads section with the date the previous YKO reported it would be coming out alongside it.
Also, everyone expect more updates before the day is done, something along the lines of Volume 9 HQ maybe~
November 22nd
Hello All! Sorry for the long delay in updates, but we had that huge delay in any chapter releases.
First let me say, most may have noticed, our Downloads have been down for about a week, Sorry about this, the sendspace server died. It IS back now though, all downloads work now.
now, UPDATES!!
First and Foremost, Chapter 87 - Wolf Fang 2 is out in HQ!!
Again, sorry it took this long, but usually we get a "Public" Raw to Make a MQ scanlation from first, then in the middle of the month, our Raw provider Zeratanis gets his YKO and scans it, and we do it in High Quality. Well, probabily due to the Huge Break we had, nobody released a "Public Raw", only the Watermarked Raw by Saphire Diablo, and I was Not about to steal his to do the chapter, so we had to wait for Zera to get his YKO. So, sorry again.
Also, Most won't notice this, but We've done something new starting with this chapter. We've replaced the Borders around each panel with straight ones. making it look less Jagged. It's hard to notice unless you're looking for it, but it does look nicer overall.
Now, Volume 9 is out In Japan!! and Yes Folks, We're HQ scanlating it!!
I'm ordering the books tomorrow, so expect us to start on them ASAP!!
Now, for important news. We're now recruiting!! Wana help us scanlate Hellsing and/or JoJo? Check the new Help Wanted section for more info
Well, that's all for right now, till next time folks!
September 23rd
First off, sorry for going so long without an update. I've been having problem after problem in my real life, coupled with College finals for the Summer quarter. I can safely say now though, that things have finally and fully settled down, and we can start focussing on things again, and we'll kick that off with this:
HELLSING - High Quality Chapter Pack!
Chapter 83 - Warcraft 1 HQ
Chapter 84 - Warcraft 2 HQ
Chapter 85 - Warcraft 3 HQ
Chapter 86 - Wolf Fang HQ
Now, some have been wondering where Chapter 87 is. Normally, chapters come out on the 30th of every month, and 86 Came out on July 30th, so we SHOULD have 87 by now right? Wrong... you see, it seems Hirano has taken a break. We should be getting 87 on the 30th of September though, so don't worry.
On the front of JoJo news, well, we finally have some! Since We've gotten the Hellsing HQ work done, we're going to buckle down and get some serious work on JoJo!! So expect something on that front soon.
Also, most of you may have noticed, the Donations bar I said I would be getting is up there. Well, we are actually making money off of it!! we're up to $50 right now! our goal is $200 for the Jojo Kanzenban, Hellsing Volume 9, and the shipping and handling, If we can raise the money soon enough, I could even ship then all together and save some money on the shipping!
So expect to be kept updated on that, and also expect some JoJo news and chapters soon.
September 4th
Ok, Update about LOTS of Stuff,
First off, OVA IV's release date has been DELAYED until November 5th. While this may seem upsetting on the surface, they say they will be adding things, making it potentially longer than it's already lengthy 57 minute runtime. So, More OVA for only a month's Wait isn't really so bad is it?
Now for News on Scanlations, and it's not all good.
First off, the Planned HQ Chapter releases has, quite obviously been pushed back. This is due to some personal issues I'm having right now. Basically, my grandfather, who has been living with us and paying a good portion of the bills (with us doing things for him like Laundry, shopping and making him meals) has decided to abruptly leave us to go get a place with a woman he's known for only about 2 years now, and basically gave us 3 days until the rent was Due notice. so I've had to help pay for that, and take up more hours at work to help pay future bills, so I just haven't had the time. Things are, however, settling down a bit, so expect those chapters soon.
On the Forefront of our other Project, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, we've hit a little speedbump. The Scans we have all have a small problem with their Greys, making them not look so hot. The only other Alternative for this, was to use some Chinese Scans, but we decided against that since they are all cropped to some degree (some of them cutting out 1/3 of panels). After much deliberation, we decided to just Buy the newly released Jojo Kanzenban, and use THOSE for our Raws. The Kanzenban are a reprinting, done in AMAZING quality, and, if this release is like any other of Shueisha's (The Publisher's) Kanzenban releases, all of the Pages that were color in the JUMP printing are Color again!
The new problem with THIS however, is that with these recent problems, I won't be able to afford them anymore (Part 3 costs about $60 and Part 4 is about $100 Not including Shipping) at least not in the near future. Therefore, we have decided to just continue using the Raws we were going to use, and in the meantime, we will set it up to take Donations, as soon as we have enough to afford them, we will buy the new Books, and pick up at whatever point in the manga we are on at the time with those Raws.
Expect a New Jojo release shortly after the Hellsing HQ release
August 19th
Ok, I have to adress something really quick.
The Forums we link to here aren't a Forum dedicated to our Scanlations. It's A forum created and Run by our generous webhost, Bloodknight. They're the ones who got me started Scanlating with Hellsing, and thusly, they are a PURELY Hellsing Board.
Sure, the Board has a section for Other anime, and there IS a Jojo thread in there, but it's just one or 2 threads.
If you are a Jojo Fan, who ALSO likes Hellsing, by all means join the Forum, and talk Hellsing with us, we would love to have you. but If you want to join the forums for the sole purpose of talking Jojo, Please don't, because there isn't enough Jojo-centric topics there to warrant it, and you'll just end up having joined for nothing in the end.
Now, there IS already a rather good Jojo Community. I'm very new, but I am now a member there, and I will be posting our scanlations there as well, so if Jojo is the only thing we offer that floats your boat, please go there instead of the Hellsing Forums here.
Thank you, and Sorry for the mixup
August 18 2007
One again, greetings and salutations!
It is my very fine pleasure to let you know that we have released our very FIRST chapter of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure!
It's Chapter 124 - Silver Chariot - Part 1, and it marks a very happy starting point for us!
Another neat bit of news, you may notice the website is changed a bit. Oh, you didn't? That's because the change isn't really cosmetic. The site is implimenting frames now, meaning once you load the page once, it now won't have to reload images It's already loaded, only new ones. (It's really a lot more complicated than that, but I'm sure you don't want me to go into it)
Long story short, the other sections should load faster now!
Oh yeah, the Other Sections! They're mostly up now! so you can give the Navigation bar there a try out and check out some of the stuff!
They aren't fully done yet, the FAQs need more info, as do the Translation notes, and I haven't been able to contact the whole team and get what all they each want on their sections of the "About" Page, so it's just me right now, and the Downloads page doesn't have everything on it yet, but it's coming along nicely isn't it?
August 08 2007
Hello All!
New Site Design is Finally up! and it’s looking GREAT!!
A lot of Work was put into this New Design, and It looks and works a LOT better than the old one.
You may notice that not all Sections are up yet, however I'm working on it, so they should be up very soon!
Now, for some Scanlation news.
Hellsing Chapter 86 - "Wolf Fang" has been released, Scanlated in MQ for right now. it Can be downloaded by clicking the Link above under the new "Recently Released Chapters" Box. So go ahead and click that if you haven't got it yet.
Also, I would like to Note that the Raws we got for that chapter are among the worst Quality Raws I have ever had to work with, so the quality is only barely MQ.
Now that The Site is Done, I will be Focussing on getting the HQ versions of 83 - 85, as Well as 86 as soon as our Raw Provider, Zeratanis gets his YKO for that chapter. The Website work was actually what was delaying the work on those, and I'm happy to say that we are now Free to do that work!
Another Piece of News, Kouta Hirano recently appeared at an Anime Con in Germany, where he confirmed that Volume 9 is in the works right now, and a release date should be announced in a month or two!
So as soon as a Release date is announced, I will be Ordering the volume so we can tear it up and start doing HQ Volume 9 scans the same way we did Volume 8!
And Some News that ISN'T Hellsing, We have decided to pick up a 2nd series to Scanlate.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - Part III - Stardust Crusaders by Hirohiko Araki
We came to this decision, because Ignition One, the group who was doing it (and was doing an Awesome job I might add) suddenly stopped updating it and any of their other Series'. Therefore, we will be Picking up at Chapter 124, which is where IO left off.
We have no set date for when we will release our first Jojo Chapter, or even if we ultimately want to release it Chapter-at-a-time or in whole Volume releases. However, we will update the Site when we have more information on it, including Links to where the rest of the Series can be Downloaded, translated by Ignition One.
This is great news, but what does it mean for Our Hellsing work? Nothing!
We started as a Hellsing Group and Hellsing is still our Top Priority! So when new Hellsing chapters/volumes come out, that will always take top-priority.
Also, we plan on (hopefully) being able to continue Jojo past Part III when we get there, but we will tackle that question when we get there.
