DDL problems

As you may have noticed the DDL links have died all at once.

Well the server I host on has changed it's configuration and I need to go through and manually redo all of the links.  Which is a pain in the arse but I'll get it done eventually.

Also yes, things have been quiet recently. I've been quite busy IRL, which seems to happen once or twice a year. Sorry about that! But I have other things to get done as well. 

Thank you for your patience.

Edit: They should all be fixed now!

One for the archive.

So I went digging in my archives again and found another oddity. This time it's a 14 page lrough draft (?) of a Final Fantasy 9 doujinshi. Going by my notes I saved this back in 2006 from Yachiko. I'm unsure if it is still on the site but according to my records this is the source. It's also entirely possible this has since been published and I don't have it. I put it up on a DDL for archival ppurposes.

It's quite nicely done, if you're a Final Fantasy 9 fan you should give it a look.

 But don't take my word for it! See the images below!

Miscellaneous scans: Part 1

This post is also known as - odds and ends: scanning edition. I have a few major projects in the pipeline which are going to slow down my posting quite significantly. So I thought I'd make a post with a few of the more interesting bits and pieces I have lying around.

I like this alternate costume for Sakura, so I've put it in for no particular reason.
It's unused  apparently this is available as a mod or DLC?
Why the fuck was I not informed.

The rest of the this post, right after the jump.

So, how about this.

So I've been musing over a few idea which I'd like to work on/enact in the future - and would like some feedback on them. Things like, muti-lingual translations, accepting donations (I just set that up anyway), selling scanned doujinshi, higher resolution releases and working on scaning/translating actual manga.

I have also attatched an image of a genderswaped Kenshiro above to catch your attention. Has it worked? Good. Follow after the jump for more words about the above subjects. (Or don't, it's not like I c-care or anything baka!)

Black Magic M-66: Part 3

A third Black Magic M-66 collection round up post? At the risk of seeming obsessive about such things. Why not? This time We'll be having a look at animation cels. Which, while they can be a bit expensive are pretty cool to collect. Mind you, it has to have been made somewhere before 2000 when cels were still in use.

Proceed onwards for the third installment in this fascinating trillogy.

(Image heavy post ahead 56k beware!)

Black Magic M-66: Part 2

For todays segment we have the Black Magic resource round up part two: The revenge of the excruciating detail.

The above image is the japanese front/back cover of the original manga without the title/back cover synopsis text on it., I've seen it in poster form somewhere but I passed on it at the time, whoops.

Of course the text and detail is after the break so that the main page isn't filled with this.

Read on for mystery and intrigue (?).

Black Magic M-66: Part 1

Okay so lets have a look at some items I have in my collection that I probably won't be scanning. The focus of this post is (spoilers within this link) Black Magic M-66 a OVA from none other than Masamune Shirow.

 The rest of this post is after the jump because I don't want to cover the front page with it.
