Some updates:

We're still releasing stuff. Awesome.

I've noticed recently that one of the forum updates broke spoiler tags. This may prompt me to go completely bananas and really wreak havoc on stuff.
Which means, I'll probably be deleting forum accounts with this bias:

• Anyone who hasn't activated. Get off your butt and do it next time.
• Anyone with 0 posts. Why register to lurk? There aren't any private forums for registered users.
• Anyone with less than ## posts and hasn't logged in within the last 3 months. ## posts is probably more than 10, but less than 20 or 30. It'll depend on how many fit.

If your account is deleted, this may be why. Chances are great it wasn't a very epic account in the first place, and you need to reconsider your need for one. =)

I'll post some statistics maybe when I'm done.

Due to a series of events happening very quickly, there might be some forum problems while I reapply certain board modifications. I have to hack them in manually because I don't ****ing know.

Problems with signatures and posted spoilers are expected. Past that, anything is possible. I'll update this post as more info rolls in.

There are now batch torrents for Seirei no Moribito (DVD version) and the final set of Angel Heart (39-50). Download them here: Angel Heart 39-50 and Seirei no Moribito DVD 01-26

The old torrents should be removed from the tracker, so grab these new torrents and use your favorite BitTorrent client to select which files you want.

Thanks for your continued support!

Anime-Kraze is looking for a freelance AFX Typesetter to help revitalize an ailing show.

We're looking for someone who is familiar with typesetting, After Effects, and Photoshop. Interested people would want to work on a challenging futuristic anime that often incorporates nonlinear motion, strange resizes, and implementations of Japanese website-style forms in its presentation. We will work with you to develop a vision of how to translate where translation wasn't intended, which may include multiple rounds of feedback, test encodes, and interaction with multiple members of the team.

We request commitment to an episode in its entirety, and would understand if you could only commit to one episode at a time. Of course, some episodes require a higher level of AFX Typesetting than others.

We are on a monthly release schedule, but AFX Typesetting work may increase the pace to a 2- or 3-week release schedule. If you stick with the show and work well with the group, other Anime-Kraze opportunities might (read: will) arise.

If you're interested, drop by #ak-recruits on irc.rizon.net and leave a message for kenners. Please have portfolio material or example works ready.

All-

We've made it to 1000 releases! Someone in the earlier days of the anime-kraze website was smart enough to catalog all of our releases into one single database, and so we were able to keep a good track record.

Congratulations to everyone! In celebration, our website has been transformed! No longer shall we bear the striking resemblance to Inuyasha and some weird guy with blond hair!

Thanks to Snoop' for working the graphics, and for everyone's input on the process as it went along! There will be further updates as time passes, to include minor touch-ups, new banners (which are now MUCH EASIER TO DESIGN HOLY CRAP), and some more content to replace the missing codecs pages, FAQ pages, and contact pages lost during our first Great Server Outage.

Thanks for your continued support, and keep watching!

Update 7/3/2008
Thank you all for your continued interest. We picked up two new QCers to help us with our spring and summer shows. If it seems that our load is still too large, then we'll start taking names again. We already have a small reserve going, so if you want to drop in and leave your contact info, feel free.

All--

We're trying something new with QC recruiting -- the doors are now open for our rolling QC admissions process.

We're looking for intelligent and meticulous people to join our staff of quality checkers.

Brief list of requirements:

• Extensive knowledge of the English language is required.
• The ability to pay close attention to detail is required.
• Broadband internet and familiarity of IRC are required.
• Previous fansubbing experience is appreciated, but not required.
• Correct change is appreciated, but not required.

Those interested should be able to manage their own time schedule, and be prepared to devote free time to working with the staff, and checking release for errors at various stages of the fansub process.

Those interested would also enjoy working with a rowdy bunch of seasoned fansubbers, who pride themselves on quality releases.

If you feel you can fill these requirements, join our recruiting channel and pm the person listed in the topic to set up an interview. #ak-recruits @ irc.rizon.net

Yes, I said an interview. Don't be afraid.
