Blog Update - 8th February 2016

Just a little update here for you guys. Now, as some of you may have noticed, the tabs at the top of my blog have been gone for quite some time now. Just over a month, I think. Anyway, in December (if I remember correctly), I received a few DMCA's for those Higurashi Blu-Ray comparison pics I did like fucking last year for some fucking reason. Ahem. Now, they didn't just stop there as they also hit one of my progress updates for Higurashi Rei (even though all that had was the cover of the game and a block of text, but whatever). Why, you ask? Well, I don't fucking know because I wasn't even given a fucking reason. And I appealed but we all know how that always turns out. Like Youtube. You get a general rejection reply without giving you a reason or as to why the DMCA happened in the first place. Wow, thanks a lot, Google. You're amazing. Stupid fucks.

Anyway, just encase anything else were to be targeted on my blog I decided to place the majority of my downloads like the Eva artbooks and such in draft for about a month until things clear. And I haven't got any DMCA's since so I think I'll reactivate those posts and tabs. Not the one's which got DMCA'd but the Eva shit and stuff. In any case, let's just hope stupid shit like this doesn't happen in future. Umm, bye. Captain Jack signing off.

Terra Formars: Mangastream and Imperial Scans

Figured one of those ad revenue redirect sites would pick up Terra Formars knowing that IS did the same probably for the same reason. Anyhow, it is odd because even I noticed (and a few on 4chan) that near enough everything with MS when compared to IS releases of Terra Formars are the same. Typesetting, scans, various names on the credits page and much much more. For one, seems like they more or less merged with Mangastream to form an even bigger group and wow oh wow just look at the many names on that credits page. Sheesh. They must really want that ad revenue.
Now, from that and from what I've gathered on the net it seems that IS didn't exactly disband, but rather just go somewhere else than the retiring due to life and such like the message on their site detailed. However, that probably just applied to the sites main lead than the whole group, but they really should have been more forward and direct as to what was happening with themselves and the series and be more open and transparent. I mean, it's just eyebrow raising. We all know it's about those Chinese raw providers in Japan who got arrested and all the backlash that been happening recently. There's no shame in acknowledging that much.

Anyway, MS picking up the series won't deter me from working on the series. In fact, due to them keeping it available only on their site (even if it is reuploaded elsewhere) works more in my favour because it won't be available to everyone else and not everyone will go to their site to read the series seeing how most people read it off the various major read online sites at their own leisure. That, and a few other reasons but there's no need to list them all. All in all, it's good to be back on the series. Can't wait to see the reaction to my next credits page. Heads will roll! Ah ha ha ha ha!!
