New release!
This is what we’ve been busy working on since the last time I was able to release. It took us many hours and zind alone took 3 weeks, it took me a week to proof and get the text replaced, but we actually managed to get takoluka to speak in english!
Yes this was april fools it took us maybe 5 minutes to do the whole thing and it only consisted of editing a text file. Lame, I know, but screw doing some fake worthless release or pretending to drop something. I’ll leave it up for like a week or until/if qruqru sends a C&D.
Our copy
You can also download the original here and a few more he offers for free that we won’t be doing.

wtf is this thing? a program? i double clicked on the zip file but it was an .exe file.
nope.
Not my problem if you can’t be bothered to follow a link and figure something out for yourself.
suiton, look at the date
oh…april fools? wtf.
Glad I didn’t fall for it.
It’s not a virus and you’re kinda dumb if you don’t download it because takoluka is awesome. :I
we want “My Balls” :p
aww, its cute X3
It’s the Tako Luka desktop buddy! =D
I got his over at DesuDesu’s a while back. It’s awesome.
haha. aww.
You guys realize that the last release we got was on January 10th, 2009? It’s now April 05, 2009!!
>_<
I’m sure we could put together another forest bear length something, if you really want.
Nope, lol.
Just a few questions…
2. Not_Log, have you gotten that check in the mail yet
3. a) suiton, have you heard the story of Master Han before?
b) If not, ignore this. If so, what did Master Han do the first two times he saw the king, and why did he keep going back?
edit: Because it was your first offense I will only edit it out but for future reference suiton doesn’t seem to comment much because he uses that phrase. He actually comments a lot they just all go straight to spam filter.
No not yet idk how long it will take but I haven’t gotten the return receipt so they supposedly haven’t gotten them yet either.
There’s no translator for the specials, I wouldn’t expect them ever, honestly..
Are there any updates you can give us?
Daily “no check yet :I” updates are boring, I’ll post something when I get shit ordered, probably.
So, nothing yet? Wanna add the RIP notice or are you still in denial? I cannot finish to conceive that all releases get stopped because of a cheap guy that cannot buy a mouse…
Anyways, I’ll keep laughing around, it’s not like others didn’t pick up where you left, at least in the series that really mattered
And don’t worry, for all the folks that wished me the worst of lucks I’m still all well and healthy here, thanks for worrying
Being cheap and having zero income are different things. If you do not realize this perhaps you should quit your job and see how long you can go on spending like you were when you had a job.
Well, can you blame him? Some people are still living with their parents, so obviously they have no idea about the hardships one has to face in life.
@Leecher#468423
You fail at life. Seriously.
They can take however little or much time they want to release a chapter. And if they (hopefully not) decide to drop everything and stop scanlating, then so be it.
They don’t owe us anything (scanlators & fansubbers) so I wouldn’t complain. Anything (even 1 chapter or 1 episode) that they do should be taken as a blessing/gift.
Just shut you trap if you’re gonna go around commenting like that because that won’t motivate them to scanlate any quicker.
If you’re not demanding, then why not try something like donating money or something.
>_>
Oh and btw, it’s now been 19 days since this post and still 0 releases.
T_T
suiton, you just contradicted yourself. But yes, Leecher#468423 should go f**k himself with a sharp iron pole until it pierces his vocal cords and/or fingertips for failing so badly.
Every single letter fansubbers and scanlators type we should be grateful for, because we only give them support for the hard work they put in. If I weren’t so busy with school, I’d go and get a job to help Not_Log so that he could get a mouse. And so what if some other group has taken up some manga Strays does? Strays still will have better scans and better translations
I’d rather not read a series at all than reading it scanlated by Crappy House.
@Mencius
You do realize that your argument of, “Strays still will have better scans and better translations” is dependent and assuming that Strays does finish Ore-Tama, right?
=D
Is that a traitor’s mark I see?
You see that name up there at the top? You see all the names that it isn’t? Don’t link those groups’ files.
awfully quiet here…
suiton, it’s so quiet in here cause you’re still waiting around
Nah, man, just kiddin’. I was thinking the same thing.
Any updates on that check, Not_Log?
So…wut are the menu options in the systray icon?
so… i got my tax return within 10 days. Lets say you sent in a actual return instead of a e-return, it’s been well over a month. I’ve already been ban from one site because i called them out on talking bull shit. On the risk of that of that happening I ask: When will we have have another release? If your first response is to answer in anger, that means you are full of crap. I mean no disrespect. I just ask a little respect as a fan. when can we expect a release? if I could offer any help I would. I would just like a straight and honest answer as to how long I will need to wait. Scanlators deserve all the respect in the world for the work they do. I just appreciate those who give me answers straight up. please… give e something to look forward to. Much Love… Dr smooth
It hasn’t come in but I’ll say something when it has. I’m expecting at least the state within the next few days. It took almost 2 weeks for the return reciept to get here you got lucky.
Another thing, if you noticed there are no ads nor a donation button on this site, we’re running it out of pocket, we have no vested interest in readers. I could really care less what group you read, it’s not like I’m asking for donations so I can buy a mouse/tablet so you can have scans, I’m asking you to wait. If you choose to read another group that’s your choice, you’re the only one who loses anything.
well i can wait. i havent gotten my tax returns eather so i can understand. well yeah thats it for me
alright, checks here, orders and shit over the next week probably.
Cool.
And we’ll be expecting some new releases within 2 weeks, right?
@Not_Log
Wow, some good news (finally).
=D
Good news, good news!
great news can’t wait to see your next work thanks a lot for all the work you do
Good Gnus.
Yeah great news!!! But when???? Been almost six months.
Just saying!!
Does it mean that My Balls will be released again soon?
We’re just hoping that he’s able to get new hardware that he needed to get (but apparently couldn’t because it wasn’t affordable or something).
But whatever~
We’ll get the chapters eventually.
… eventually.
i don’t like how that sounds…
hahaha amazon delayed my order a week. fuck you amazon.
Reasons for release delays.
——————————————–
First reason: Site change causing delay
Next reason: Refund check causing delay.
Current reason: eBay delay causing delay
Future reason(?): Swine Flu delay
No, Car Dealerships, don’t jynx strays…
And it’s amazon, not eBay, just F.Y.I.
So, this is dead?
I hope it’s not dead.
Come on, give us at least an update post on the site?
>_>
Items shipped on May 27, 2009:
Delivery estimate: June 3, 2009
lol
So the new reason is a delivery delay.
So the next delay will be that your dog ate the delivery?
Oh and to the one poster, Honda Kawasaki is the name of a female reporter in the Movie comedy Kentucky Fried Movie.
You might want to rent it, it’s an oldie but a goodie.
Plus it will kill sometime till the next delay is announced.
June 3rd… Wow.
Ah, makes sense that the writers (I’m guessing American writers) would be making fun of car dealerships. Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll look for some money once I finish Resistance 2
No the writers were refering to motorcycles that were popular when te movie was made in the 70’s.
You are right about them being American writers. They are the Zucker brothers who also did the comedy movies Airplaine, Airplane II, and the Police Squad movie trilogy.
You might as well rent them to since it might be another six months till the next release.
Lol, the delays… C’mon, at least be a man and admit that you are just fucking around and making up excuses. I don’t claim to know what the reason behind any of this is, but whoever believes the lack of mouse stuff better rent the movies Honda Kawasaki is talking about, they’re probably the most intellectual things you’d have seen in a while.
You know what’s the funny thing? last week I bought a Logitech G7 through a subsidiart of Ebay, and I got it the VERY SAME DAY I placed my order. And I’m living in a third world country…
Oh well, Nihil Sine Nefas is still releasing Vagabond. Better read those, at least they seem to have due respect for the leechers :p. Don’t misunderstand me, I love scanners and I’m very grateful towards them, but when they start lying like this and then claiming “we don’t owe you anything, beg us and we MAY release again”, makes me want to… THIS.
@leecher
1. Delays happen
2. Ya don’t seem to love scanners all that much
3. Why ya still posting here?
I just want to let you know we are all counting on you. And don’t call me Sherly.
@nirv
He/she probably wouldn’t have posted it if we at least got like an update post on what’s going on.
I mean releases would of course be amazing, but at the very least, I’m sure that even you would like to know what’s going on.
Seriously.
April 1, 2009 was the latest release and it’s now May 31, 2009.
>_> It’s been 2 months, and not even an update post on the site. I’m not asking for a release. I’m just saying that it would be good to at least get an update like every 2 weeks.
Leecher, have you not yet learned that we don’t care?
So you got a mouse the day you ordered it. And you live in a developing country. You know what else is funny? You can’t spell “subsidiary,” nor can you realize that this is strays, not Nihil Sine Nefas. And where, oh do show me, have you ever seen Not_Log say “beg us and we may release again”?
suiton, for once, I agree with you. An update every few weeks would indeed be nice
So did the required Amazon shippment arrive on the third?
Hopefully it did as it’s now the 5th.
>_>
@Mencius
Oh?!
Haha. Someone agrees with me? LulZ
Yes. I hate when fansubbing groups and scanlations groups don’t release a single thing AND not tell us what’s going on for a while.
I’d prefer to at least receive an update post on the site giving us a heads up on the projects (if they’re being worked on, if they’re stalled and why, or if it’s being dropped).
Chapter’s done aside from a redraw which is being worked on now.
That’s good to know.
So basically, we’re gonna get a mass of “My Balls” chapters soon?
So what’s up with KoT? Do you still need a QC? I could help with that…
was wondering if you were planning on continuing jackals? I really liked that series
@suiton
Just a point of correction, the latest release was January 10th! April 1st was a failed attempt to alleviate tension regarding extended delays between releases.
I was beginning to think I was the only one who could count that it was six month since I had my hands on My Balls.
Will you still be releasing My Balls? I miss it alot =(
I can’t wait to see My Balls again after so long…
lol
