UPDATED: 03/07/06

Two and a half months since the last release and Mami 45 finally here!

You may know by now that Mami is the biggest challenge we Live-eviL have ever had. Timing Mami is VERY demanding…and hence Mami is one of our oldest projects.

Quoting Gumbaloom from 10th April of this year, when Mami 44 was released:
‘We at Live-eviL have lost many a good foot soldier to the armies of the dark one. We stand and salute those who have perished as they fought valiantly in battle attempting to battle this enemy.’

And this enemy is Mami.

*Sigh*

But it’s here now and we hope to get as many downloads as possible which will assure us that our hard work has paid off well.

Like any of our other releases, you can get the file from our bots in #live-evil on irc.enterthegame.com or off BitTorrent.

I sincerely thank those who very patiently sat with this episode and got it done…unless you are a true Mami fan, it’s not possible to show this much dedication.

And with that being said, we hope you people enjoy episode 45 as much as you’ve enjoyed our previous releases ^^.

We’re looking forward to your comments so continue posting on our forums!

Ahem, advice from Yuu ^^: You may find studying boring, but don’t tell that to young kids.

Anyway, I just wanted to clear up a few rumors.

1) I’m not dead/arrested/disgruntled.

2) We may or may not continue NANA and Tsubasa Chronicle if we can come to some sort of reconciliation.

3) All those times I was “seen on the L-E forums” was because of the automatic RSS feeder on my Mozilla Firefox, making it appear like I was online when I really wasn’t. Truth be told, I have barely spent 10 minutes online in the last 2+ weeks due to lots of IRL crap.

I apologize if I misled anyone or broke any promises. I guess I come from a day and age where people had more patience with things, but obviously the fansubber-leecher/fansubber-fansubber paradigm has dramatically shifted in recent years.

The rumors of my death are highly exaggerated. I appreciate all the emails and messages people have sent me.
Cheers~

Live-Evil regretfully announces that both Tsubasa Chronicles and Nana are dropped.

First, for Tsubasa, Live-Evil will discontinue their participation in the project. Tofusensei, who was the only person from Live-Evil working on the project has been unable to keep his promises regarding getting things done on a reliable schedule. Dattebayo is willing to continue the project alone if a suitable translator can be found. For more details on this you can see Dattebayo’s press release on their site.

Second, It deeply saddens me to announce that Live-Evil is dropping Nana, a project that I personally enjoyed working on very much. Again, this is due to Tofusensei’s lack of participation in the project, for which he comprised 1/2 of the staff along with myself and Vash. Similar to Tsubasa Chronicles, Live-Evil does not have the resources to continue the project at this time. If you happen to be an extraordinarily skilled translator, contact interactii on rizon or etg, and we’ll see if perhaps we can work something out, but I’m not very hopeful.

I wish to apologize to all the fans who have wanted, in earnest, for our releases on these projects, and let me tell you I’m very disappointed in Tofusensei, who made continuous promises on these series, only to break them.

Meanwhile, I encourage you to check out our other projects, there’s some really exciting stuff going on, so stay tuned!
