Well... if anyone is reading this, you can probably tell that I'm not much of an updater. Anyways, I've decided to begin a new project. My experiences with the shinsengumi capturing project was quite useful, because I realized how much effort and resources are needed to do something like that. I have the will to translate something, but not enough manpower to encode,time etc for Anime, movies, dramas, etc. I don't think I can join any already existing fansubbing groups cause my japanese is not at that level where I can completely understand everything. Thus I have decided that the only project that I can do is translate, Manga. I have never been an avid reader of manga, only read a couple of series and never really cared much for fansub manga, mainly because I don't really want to read manga on the computer monitor. Incidently, I discovered that I can actually read manga on my psp. That was probably the trigger that made me think about doing a project again.

So to sum it up. My new project is gonna be translating Manga, which something that can help my japanese, level up so to speak. For me its gonna contribute to my learning, as well as my enjoyment. Anyways, I have yet to decide on which manga to translate, but its definately something no one else has translated yet ( I'm not trying to compete with anyone). I will begin translating, once winter break starts, cause I'm already having a tough time with my courses, particularly newspaper japanese. As usual I will be distributing via bittorrent, but I have a feeling I may have to make my own tracker....So...I'll update once I have more info.. it will probably be another couple of months before things start happening again..

its been a while since my last update but anyways here I go..
First of all, I must apologize, apparently I missed capping the first 2 seconds of the show. being christmas and all I guess I had alot on my mind. Nevertheless, The rest of the capping of episode 38 went fine..
Secondly, one of my favorite site, Public mm, from which I use as a tracker for the shinsengumi episodes has apparently closed for the time being, so I will use the d-addicts tracker instead for future postings. As for older episodes of shinsengumi, if there is a need I will repost them in packs (more then one episode) and personally seed them. This will be done depending on demand for such an action..
Lastly, Since its the holidays, Shinsengumi episode 39 will not air next week, but airing will resume starting from the week after that.. anyways, Merry christmas!

Been a long time since I've updated.. well due to the recent earthquakes in Japan, NHK Programming has been affected for Tv Japan..And that means the airing of Shinsengumi has been delayed a week, which means episode 30 with subs will be aired next week..
