BOOOOOBS…BOOBS…BOOBIES!

Enjoy!

Here’s chapter 01 (HnK Yuria manga): MediaFire

Here we go again, here’s another Gaiden for all you HnK fans!
Much love to our new translator Cypher for stepping up and translating, Seven Stars for giving it a check, and TUIII for doing his usual editing magic! The art is not exactly my cup of tea, but I had a quick peek, and I think Shin fans are going to love this.
Enjoy!

PS: We’re in the closing stages of finishing the Toki Den OVA so please vote in the forum on whether you guys want us to include the lyrics for the song that plays in the middle. Time is ticking, so please go HERE and vote.

PPS: Still no word from the French group regarding Kinnikuman after 3 emails. I hate to say this, but I’m starting to think that little joint of ours might not materialize :(

Here’s chapter 127 (SnK manga): MediaFire

Miss me!
Here’s some SnK for those wanting their SnK fix. Yuria Gaiden is next!
Enjoy!

PS: I’m not going to be uploading individual chapters on the Downloads page anymore because I’m far too busy.

PPS: We decided to put Juuza on hold until we get our mits on the tankobon.

Here’s chapter 01 (HnK Juuza manga): MediaFire

EDIT: Commenter Gorfiril rightfully pointed out that this chapter is not up to the HnG standard, so after reviewing the material I’ve decided to put this project on hold until we can find a solution around this problem. In the meantime, please enjoy this draft, which will be revised in future.

PS: If some of you have noticed that SnK and Rei Gaiden haven’t been coming out as quickly as of late, that’s because I’ve got a lot of real life obligations and I’ve upped my workload significantly by taking on 2 new manga projects. This unfortunately won’t change anytime soon either. On the flip side though, you guys are going to be getting to see 4 different Hokuto stories get released at reasonable speeds.

PPS: Still no word from the French group regarding Kinnikuman. I’ll make a post as soon as I hear something.

Here’s Episode 03 of the Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Anime:
AVI: Torrent | Megaupload
MKV: Torrent | Megaupload

This episode is for all you Don Patch fans out there, because this episode is all about Don Patch! He’s definitely in this episode! So go ahead and enjoy this episode about Don Patch! Who is in this episode! Seriously!

A couple notes: We have decided to discontinue our dual audio releases. The purpose for our releasing two episodes of dual audio was to give you a taste of exactly how different the dub was from the original version. Now that we’ve demonstrated the difference, we feel that it is no longer necessary to release what is already available to the English-speaking world. If you enjoyed the dub, go support the licensing companies and purchase the DVDs that are available (and pester them to release past volume 2). However, if you prefer the subs, stick with us, as there are currently no official English subtitles for the original Japanese release.

We will still be releasing in AVI and MKV, however, the MKV will only contain the Japanese audio.

Thank you for your understanding.

As for Kinnikuman and Otokojuku, we are still awaiting a reply from the French group, but they should be available soon. So stay tuned, same Hokuto time, same Hokuto channel.

Here’s chapter 13 (HnK Rei manga): MediaFire

Here’s some more Rei coming at ya!
Now please give a very warm welcome to one of new translators, Seven Stars! This man truly has my utmost respect for stepping up to the plate and continuing the work of our lost homey Wimmo! I’m sure you’ll all agree he’s a successor to be proud of when you guys see the top quality of his translations.
Enjoy!

Here’s chapter 126 (SnK manga): MediaFire

Merry Christmas and here’s your gift…the last episode of SnK!

Well, this is the end of a series that was a huge roller coaster ride for me. It started around 3 years at HoM when I decided to translate (from French), badly encode (using Gordion Knot), and distribute the first two TV episodes in their forum. The response was generally quite positive and people seemed to enjoyed it, so I decided what the hey, I’ll keep going. Little did I know what I was getting myself into! Things were very slow in the first year to say the least, but with people like Makoto (Japanese to English translation checker) McBubby (Timer of the first few episodes and Technical Support) dxInt (Inital karaoke maker), and robin (DVD Raw Provider) the project began to get going. Once started, I wanted to make a top quality version so I decided it would be best to do this project with an experienced fansubbing team. I went through different negotiations (including doing a joint) with different teams, but eventually opted out to join Sentosha since I felt they were my best bet to get the series out there. Once at Sentosha (second year of the project now), the project went through many ups and downs; Wicko was a really talented karaoke, typesetter, QCer and distributor, but he tended to make quite frequent and unannounced disappearances that lead to quite significant slow downs. After a second big disappearance on his part, I decided to say farewell to Sentosha and create HnG in order to complete the series once and for all.

A new era was born under the aegis of HnG, and frankly, it went better than I expected. I had translated (Makoto did a translation check) the first 8 episodes at Sentosha, and then translated my last episode (episode 9) for HnG with the help of Makoto who then took over. DaiKenOh (our new encoder) then joined the fold and HnG made its first anime releases; Episodes 9-10! The project was back! Makoto continued translating up to episode 12, but then unfortunately had to retire due to real life commitments. This kind of left me in the creek with a paddle so to speak, so I made a mass appeal for a translator to join so we get this series done. The appeal bore fruit and a new translator by the name of SystematicChaos jumped in to save the day! He single-handedly took on the grueling task of translating and amazingly finished a whopping 14 episodes (Episodes 13-26) in the record breaking speed of 2 months!!! Whilst this was going on, I re-recruited dxInt and later SpiritofHokuto, to help us pre-time the scripts, our lost homey Wimmo to help do translation checks on all the scripts, and finally Toshin and Mr Gerbik to make the torrents. Thus, each episode went through a lot of tender love and care by undergoing a preliminary check, a translation check, an edit, a quality check, and a final check before being sent to the encoder. Unfortunately, this, and our occasional real life commitments took time, so we would take approximately one month or so for each episode. The haters out there really don’t know what lengths we went to to ensure this was a quality product, because it they had, they would know what work and co-ordination is needed to do a project. What’s more, sitting on one’s lazy ass and whining really doesn’t help the projects come out magically faster, so don’t in future! Anyways, I think our final product can speak for itself, so I’m sure those of you who have enjoyed it will appreciate the tender love and care we’ve put into it.

Well that’s about it. In closing, you’ve all probably noticed that we at HnG have moved beyond the boundaries of the SnK anime and expanded in order to bring joy to all you anime/manga lovers alike. We’ll continue to try and keep this up as long as we can, so please try and help us out in any way possible. Next up in the Hokuto roster; the SnK & HnK Gaiden manga and the completion of the new HnK Den Movies/OVAs. Note: the Movies/OVAs might take a little longer than expected because I lost my most recent updated scripts after my computer crashed a few months ago. Besides, I translated the first 4 Movies/OVAs and I’d like them to get a second translation check (Makoto did a preliminary check) just to make sure everything is just peachy.

Merry Christmas again and Enjoy!

EDIT: The Complete Torrent Batch has been re-upped because the previous Torrent had version 1 instead of version 2 of Episode 12. Regardless, we’ve fixed everything now, so get the link and download away.

Here’s chapter 12 (HnK Rei manga): MediaFire
