As always, all releases available in the Anime Host Link Forum, so do enjoy!!!  Oh, and do feel free to stop by the various project discussion threads (NOT the download threads) and give the translators some love for their awesome efforts!!!

 

Hey, guys.   It’s been awhile, I know, and I also realize that many people are wondering just what happened to our scanlation group.  Let me start off by apologizing.  As many of you who frequent the forums know, 2008 has literally KICKED MY ASS, in every sense of the term.  I’ve had so much to deal with this year, particularly from July onward, that, in many ways, I was unable to function in anything but the basest of capacities, and because of that, I have to apologize for MYSELF, and, unfortunately, my inability to function also impacted Cireus-Scans.  See, I typeset PGE, Stigmata, Phantom Wizard, and Reideen.  I also edit Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Wind Up Tina … so I guess you can figure out what happened there.  Everything came to a screeching halt, and for that, I absolutely and sincerely apologize.

My mother in law passed away in July, and that sort of set off a chain of events that escalated to my father in law moving in with us for awhile, and while it was what he needed, I ended up pretty much being the babysitter for the duration.  Mind, I had no issue doing this, but … well, I had no time left for anything else, and by the end, I was so emotionally drained that it just wasn’t funny.  Then the recession REALLY hit us, and between stressing out over funds to keep the website up and running (THANKS to the FANTASTIC forumers!!!!) we were able to pay the bills and are hoping to raise enough money to purchase more server space.

And then there was the HUGE problem … We ran out of PGE raws.  We had all the raws through vol 20 but nothing else.  Now I HAVE to pause here to give a LARGER THAN LIFE shout-out to forumer cynsny.  Because of her generosity, I now have vols 21 and 22, and we’re back on track.

So what does all this mean?  Well, it means that the chapters I’ve got in stock from our FAN-FRIGGING-TASTIC  translators are in typeset (or done) and we’re shooting for a mass release sometime this month.  What do we already have?  Well …

• PGE 81 (typesetting)
• PGE 82 (translating)
• Wind Up Tina c 5  (typesetting)
• Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei c 22  (grammar edit)
• Phantom Wizard c 15 (edit/proof)
• Stigmata c 8 (finalizing)

And with any LUCK, we’ll have a few more surprises in stock, too.

Lastly, a HUGE thank you to everyone who has expressed their concern and their love and best wishes.  We swear, we won’t leave you hanging!!!

With all my affection,

Cireus
