Kesenai is proud to announce that its hated leader (Ketsurui) is going away for an undetermined period of time in order to have surgery on his right leg.

The surgery’s objective is obviously an act of insanity that will lead to limping just like the obnoxious doctor named Gregory House.

The leadership will be passed on (along with its Death God) to our editor kruption, while the rubberman Luffy will complain about how he was the most qualified to lead the group in Ketsurui’s absence.

Of course, Ketsurui is NOT demoting him from his sub-leader position, he just doesn’t want to see that the group suddenly started 50.000 joints and picked 200.000 shows in his absence…

With the formal stuff out of the way, I have an important announcement, this time from one of our main QCers…

[00:28] • [@Kuroiryuu] Tell them to be patient and stop asking about the batch, ffs.

YEAH!!! Stop asking!

Ketsurui: OUT!

Ever wanted to kill a zombie for real…?

Well I thought that this may interest those from Europe…

A-Camp is the short for Anime Camp. Based on Otakus(anime, manga, japan lovers, j-music….), A-Camp has already reached the 4th edition, this winter. And 5th and 6th editions will follow as well, late this summer. Long short story is that from 100 campers at the 1st edition we soon reached 160~ in less then a year. The summer edition is larger than the winter edition who only has around 50-80 people. I’ve been present to all editions so far and is been fun. You’ll probably join the camp knowing nobody in it, and leave having a bunch of friends…

Why go? You’ll cure yourself from the hikikomori disease in a just 6 days, being among a large amount of anime fans, you’ll have fun and make friends. It is also not very expensive. Depending on your location, the transportation and the camp will be less than 230euro(France, Italy, Germany, Spain, East Europe).

Period: 23-29 August 2010

Location: Camp “Valea Budului”, near Bacau

What do we offer:

	6 days and nights accommodation		Old School Games
	3 meals per day		Drawing Workshop
	Paintball		Hiking
	Baseball		L.A.R.P
	Stencils Workshop		Evening/Night Parties
	Karaoke		Sports
	Movie Club		Anime Screenings
	AMV Workshop		Light Graffiti
	Boardgames		Contests
	Papercraft		Mafia
	Internet and L.A.N. network room		Supervision of all activities

All activities are included in the price.

The camp has as partner the Romanian Ministry of National Defense. And so you can see 4-5 soldiers of Romanian Special Forces in action. (Is not yet clear who will play the zombies, campers or the soldiers.)

Cost: 148Euro/620 RON (includes everything except transportation and pocket money).To register, you only have to pay an advance (60Euro/250 RON) and the rest until 1 August.

If you’re interested in it, just mail me at luffy@kesenai.net , and we can discuss transportation issues/taxes/methods *(worldwide).

Europe transport would cost less… 100euro(round trip) to Bucharest or less. And from Bucharest to the location we go in a group of ~ 50-80 people by train and it will cost around ~25-30euro(round trip) .

The website is in Romanian: http://otakucamp.com/a-camp/ so it wont help you to understand very much, however if you want information on international part, mail me at luffy@kesenai.net !

1. Server issue…

Past 5 days I’ve seen an amazing crowd willing to give us money, and I know that is not easy, especially in this harsh times. I would like to list their names and thank them all.

Donator Name	Total Amount:	Paypal Fee amount:	Net amount:
Yuen G.	$20.00 USD	-$1.08 USD	$18.92 USD
Paul L.	$31.08 USD	-$1.51 USD	$29.57 USD
Pat N.	$50.00 USD	-$2.25 USD	$47.75 USD
Victor G.	$11.08 USD	-$0.73 USD	$10.35 USD
Christina K.	$15.00 USD	-$0.89 USD	$14.11 USD
Betty L.	$20.00 USD	-$1.08 USD	$18.92 USD
K. Kjøller	$17.48 USD	-$0.98 USD	$16.50 USD
Dewey B.	$5.00 USD	-$0.50 USD	$4.50 USD
Total:	$169.64 USD	-$9.02 USD	$160.62 USD

Also about the issue with the server. I know the server has been great, and it sure made our job and your downloads easier to get, however paying 76$/month is a lot and even if Kesenai’s donations and Kyo were paying the server, we both reach the end of the May with empty pockets. The server is paid once 3 months, and the cost is around 220$ for all 3 months. We thought that if we could raise money from donations before we have to pay it would be a good plan… and April was a great month indeed and went according to the plan, but soon May came and Kesenai started struggling not with just the money but as well with the projects. So even if now we have that amount of money that could pay for it, is to late. And so we decided we’ll buy a FTP where we had it last time(Good speed) and a Seedbox. And so we did we bought a FTP and a Seedbox, so we solved almost all of “the server issue”. We still try to figure how can we solve the DDL upload and whatever else we need but don’t worry we’ll manage somehow.

2. In therms of subbing…

As you can see, we’re going on schedule, with Arakawa Under the Bridge, and we’re catching up with Hakuouki. We’re going slow with Reborn, since we need a Translator(If you can help and you have knowledge or Japanese or Chinese, and you have free time to translate ~30eps mail us at luffy@kesenai.net). And so Reborn it wont be dropped and it will continue, as for the speed thats up to our resource. We don’t know yet the plan for summer, I’ll clearly gonna be unavailable most of the time so, there will be 1 project only. Maybe we’ll join Ryugan for a project too, but the details are not yet clarified. I know I said I wont be available, but I do have some plans this summer regarding kesenai subs. Me(Luffy) and one of our translators(Dexturo) will work on few stalled projects, such as Ultraviolet and Bund. You probably wondering about Souten Kouro, well Dexturo is already working as a translator for Animanda, so we(Kesenai) will officially drop it once and for all! And we ask you to go to www.animanda.net, for more episodes, because we fully support them in their hard work on Souten Kouro. They do a better job then us, and Dexturo know what he’s doing too.

Reborn! 144

Me(Luffy`) I’ve been busy with exams the past few months, however thats about to change, I’m free, I passed all the exams(I hope, I’m still waiting for results of 1 exam) and gonna put some work in those subs… We’re currently changing a little bit the “old teams” on Reborn and Souten Kouro.

Until now we went slow on those projects, less interest and so on… Our Hitman Reborn is an ongoing project, and we’ll provide high quality subtitles as well high quality video. We also wanna welcome our new editor that will work on Reborn, Anigel, she is an amazing editor, hope you’ll see the difference in quality

Our version of Dance in the Vampire Bund, may be slow but the quality is far more better than any groups out there, we’re focusing on Typesetting and Accuracy in Translation, which will be our strong point. So please wait for it.
We’re also working on 3 movies, 1 of those is Summer Wars, the rest are secret for the moment. Tegami Bachi will go on as usual, and when will finish we’ll pick up Hakuouki: Shinsengumi Kitan (Bishies, samurai anime by Studio DEEN).
