| Fateful Encounters & HMR Scans Combine |
To sum it up, Fateful Encounters and HMR Scans have combined into Loyal Kiss
TheSimplePrincess writes: I quote from our admin/co-founder/boss:
"This is the last from Fateful Encounters (FE). Yes, everyone must be sad because we are officially closing down. This is not a joke! Is it April 1st? No, I don't think so. So our final release is Kimi ni Todoke ch21. I am so tired of scanlating and I have no time for my school work. So I am going to shut FE down...
But NO WORRIES!!!!! Here's the best part of this. We are going to join together, collide together, mush together or whatever with HMR Scans. I worked there as an admin too and the head admin agreed with this. And now we are called Loyal Kiss. Romantic, huh? I LOVE IT! I'm a sucker for cute things. XD Anyway go take our poll about our name. >  Everyone will be mesmerism by it <3
We are being born on October 31st."

Exactly the same? Really? So you're willing to watch an animated version that follows exactly the same as what you read? |

| New Poll - Anime Adaptations |
Before I discuss the new poll, do you guys remember the series of demographic polls? For each poll, the top 5 most suggested series (on the forum) were put on the public poll. Well, here's the file that contains how many suggestions each series got:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/demo_poll_results.xls
(Note: Because of the polls, we realize that the demographics of different series need some work, so it may be that in the future, certain series will be located in different demographics)
This new poll about anime adaptations and how you like them was suggested by our member Regnak.

| Announcing History! Inside Scanlation! |
It is my pleasure to announce the grand opening of website Inside Scanlation!
As you all know, one of MangaUpdates' focuses is on scanlations. Inside Scanlation details the history of the scanlation process. There are articles about different sectors of the scene, from speed scanlations to Lurk to our own site here. There are also interviews with various sites, groups, and organizations, including an IRC interview with me and Manick, njt from MangaHelpers, and even something from TokyoPop. Even if you have only a cursory interest, I highly recommend you check out the site.
Two cool things I want to point out.
1) Timeline
2) Banner Collage
Inside Scanlation is the work of Gum, who compiled all this data into the baby you see now. It has been a work in progress for the last 3 years, and now it has seen the light of day. May we see more updates in the future! |
