So … the date has been set. The forum will be down starting tonight at roughly midnight EST (GMT -5, I think), and will probably be down for at least 12 hours while mass upgrades are made. While I realize that it’s rather inconvenient, the upgrades are quite necessary, and hopefully you’ll all find that the great new features are well worth the pain of a few hours’ downtime. While I’m hoping that the forum is only down for a few hours, it may take up to 24 hours to become operational again, so bear with me, please, while we try to implement the changes.

I’ll be doing the upgrades between some other things that will require my attention, so the projected downtime reflects this, too. All in all, however, I will try to get everything set up as quickly as possible!

All the best,
Cireus

EDIT: We’re back up and running a lot faster than I had thought.  Some of the extra skins are down at the moment, however, until I can fix them once more.

Soooooo I suppose we have a few of those for you today! Let’s see what we’ve got …

 

First … Stigmata vol 1 HQ, complete with nice goodies from the manga and better raws.

 

Then we have another chapter of Phantom Wizard … Things are speeding up!!!

 

Lastly, the release that none of you were actually looking forward to (cough), YamaNade (PGE) 18 chapter 74. Enjoy the fluffy goodness!

 

As always, all releases can be downloaded in the forum.

Cireus-Scanlations is proud to share our latest release with you!  Huge thanks to skdo for translation, and to kumaguro88 for her typesetting efforts!

As always, you can get the release in the forum, and enjoy!

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

Mangaka: KUMETA Kohji
Age Rating: Teenagers
Genre(s): Comedy; Drama; School Life; Shounen; Slice of Life
Volume(s): 12 (Ongoing)
Archive: 2005
Summary: “Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei revolves around a very pessimistic high school teacher named Nozomu Itoshiki who, at the very beginning of the series, tries to hang himself on a sakura tree. Despite this effort of self-destruction, he is saved by an extremely optimistic girl known only as Kafuka FÅ«ra (it should be noted, however, that in her effort to save his life, she almost kills him). She explains to him that it is simply unforgivable to hang himself on such a nice day, especially in front of such beautiful trees. She decides to nickname Nozomu “Pink Supervisor” (桃色係長, Momoiro Kakarichō?), and offers to pay him fifty yen to call him by that nickname. After having enough of the strange girl, Nozomu bolts to the school and starts his homeroom class, but the attempt to escape was in vain as he finds that the girl is one of his students. Not only that, but Kafuka is just the tip of the iceberg: each and every student in his class presents a new personality quirk or bizarre obsession, posing challenges that the suicidally-inclined teacher must overcome in spite of himself.

While ostensibly set in the present day relative to its original serialization, the manga utilizes a variety of aesthetic tropes that evoke the early-to-mid Shōwa period. This is exemplified by the main character’s consistent wearing of a kimono and hakama (largely relegated to special events in modern Japan), but is also evident in stylistic choices such as the anachronistic appearance of architecture, vehicles, and technology such as televisions. Chapter title pages are drawn to resemble karuta cards, with an illustration in a silhouetted kiri-e style. Chapter titles are oblique references to literature, modified to suit the needs of the chapter. The anime carries this further through a washed-out, grainy visual style that mimics film, and frequent use of katakana (rather than hiragana) as okurigana. The anime also regularly refers to the date as though Emperor Hirohito were still alive, such that Heisei 20 (the twentieth year of Emperor Akihito’s reign, or 2008 by the Gregorian calendar) becomes “Shōwa 83″.”

• All wallpapers must be anime (meaning, no games) and must be wholly original that you’ve designed. Please do not use fanarts unless you created the fanart. I love fanarts, too, but I also respect the artists of those fanarts who do not necessarily wish for their hard work to be manipulated or redistributed. You can use official art and animation in your design or fanarts that YOU have created.
  
• You can only submit ONE wallpaper, and it MUST be posted in the three resolutions listed above. No more than ONE entry per forumer allowed, thanks! You can, however, change your submission up as long as entries are still being accepted.
  

 

By submitting your entry, you understand that your wallpaper will be uploaded for distribution on Cireus-Anime.net.

Submissions:
Upload your wallpaper to the entry thread or post links to the paper in all three resolutions. The links must be public. I will not log into something in order to view it for the contest.

Judging the contest:
This contest will be judged by all forum members who wish to vote. Cireus will not vote, and Alucard will only vote in the event that there is a tie. As such, all forum members including other admin as well as mods are welcome to submit entries.

For this contest only, ALL forum members are welcome to enter!

Deadline:
All entries must be posted between now and June 15, 2008, 11:59 pm EST (GMT -5). Voting will be open from 12:00 am June 16, 2008 until 11:59 pm July 7, 2008.

Winner will be announced on July 8, 2008!

The prize?
Pretty awesome, really, but up the first prize winner will receive a brand new copy of Fullmetal Alchemist: Dual Sympathy game for the Nintendo DS – or – The Wallflower Volume 2 region 1 DVD (eps 6 – 9). That’s right; no joke. Winner will be contacted via PM regarding mailing information so that I can send their prize to them!

The Fine Print?
Violations of any of the following rules will be grounds to have your entry disqualified from the contest.

• Vote solicitation in any way, shape, or form is strictly prohibited. If you want to encourage other members to vote, that’s fine. Do not try to sway people’s choices.
