I've been scanning the net for the latest Naruto Shippuuden this morning, yes, it really is a waste of time (and not something I ever usually do), but I've making it slightly more interesting today. Narutoget.com say they're always first, and that they would be releasing this weeks double episode at 4 AM pacific time, so I've been doing a little research to see if they really are the first. While quickly scanning through Google, Yahoo, Bing & a few other major search engines hundreds of SEO optimized results regarding this episode appear, with filenames like watch-naruto-shippuuden-episode-35-36-streaming-online-media-free.html. When clicking the URL you are directed to a page with no episode, and no information on the episode, except for either a preview from the end of the last episode, or a release date. This procedure is repeated on almost all streaming anime websites, and I'm sure it brings in website traffic like a news bulletin that Obama was shot down in cold blood would do, but I can't help get annoyed by it. I've been updating a few of the top search results all the way up until 4 am, and guess what, Narutoget.com was first. They weren't ready at 4 am, but they did manage to update the message to "will be online in 15 minutes". That message lasted about half an hour, but in the end, they did manage to upload the episode before any other websites.

Problem is, soon after the episode had been added the whole website crashed, so I had to go find another one. Other websites were pretty speedy too. It's amazing how dedicated they are at getting a single episode in place as quickly as possible, it's like a big competition, an unseen race with millions of contestants passing by unseen before our very own eyes. Maybe there was some site who managed to upload the episode before NarutoGet, some small anime blog celebrating their third day of existence, but we will be unaware of their humble win now and forever. It's a cruel, cruel world indeed. :/

It's a legendary screenshot! A cookie to anyone who can guess/knows which site it was taken at. :)

Kamizama Kazoku is the story of a young boy and his family. As is the case with most main characters he is not just your average young boy, and neither is his family. His family consists of three candidate goddesses, his mother is a goddess, his father is god himself, and the main character is a god in training. He has been placed in the normal world in order to learn what it's like living life like a normal human being and eventually take the throne and rule over humanity justly.

This is a very important piece of news, so it needs to have attention brought to it. As sudden as this is to both you and us at ADC, Laeliel has made her decision to relinquish her position as translator of the group. Due to these unforseen changes of the situation, we are now left without a Japanese to English translator.
 
If you, or anyone you know, would be able to fill this position, please feel more than free to email both myself at [email protected] and Rhombus, at [email protected] with the topic header: ADC Translator Position. Until the position is filled, we will be unable to make any releases, so please, if you or anyone you know could help, stand up to the good cause, and carry on the legacy!
 
We all wish Laeliel the best in whatever she carries on to do, and hope you all appreciated her work.

Now. I really want to keep following this anime, so I decided to repost this here. Anyone interested in the position get over to http://www.adc-heaven.com. Thanks.

UPD: As written at ADC-heaven

Just posting a news update to put you all out of your state or worry. We have now received a large amount of application emails, and we will be arranging our final decisions shortly.
 
Our sincere thanks go out to everyone who have sent in applications for the position of our translator, and those who have expressed their worries. Don't worry, things will be patched up shortly, and we'll be back to normal with some new staff members! As one fan said in an email, we will rock again very soon. =P
 
Watch this space, we'll be getting 280 and 281 out as soon as possible with the specials, with the help of our new translators (note the plural, we don't want this to happen again XD).
 
Seeya soon!

The Anime Wallpaper Gallery is complete! :D

999 Great Wallpapers in total. The last 150 of them are being uploaded as I write this, at 60 kbps. There is no gallery script to index them atm, instead they are just stuck in their folder, and you can view them all using the example URL provided (in the anime section > walls). A full featured gallery for them will probably never be up, saves me bandwidth. Yeah... I accomplished a long time taking task, woot. Good Night now.
