Ladies and gentlemen,

Please put aside any negative feelings you may have for myself or L-E and let’s talk about a very exciting topic… Otakon 2006!

As you may or may not know, Otakon is the premiere anime convention on the eastern seaboard and arguably all of America. Every year, we at L-E, along with others, organize a trip there which includes a fansubbing panel at the con, nights in luxury suites at a 5 star hotel, and more alcohol+snacks than should be consumed in one weekend.

We do have plenty of room available for those who would like to come. All you need to do is get your butt to Baltimore, MD for the weekend of August 4-6.

The going rate will be $100, which includes hotel stays on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, as well as the best parties you’ll ever find at an anime con. If you or anyone you know is interested in coming and partying with us, just let me know. You may PM me on here, IM me at Tofusensei on AIM, msg Tofusensei on irc.enterthegame.com, or send me an email at Tofusensei@live-evil.org

We will allow groups of people to stay with us, and I guarantee much fun will be had by all. I might even have to bring the karaoke machine again :X

See you there!

For more information on Otakon, go to the website at www.otakon.com

You really should pre-register at the site to secure a badge for the weekend. The current rate is $60.

Thanks!!

Please respond on the forum if you are going to the con. Even if you cannot stay with us, you’re welcome to party 🙂

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!
