Blog Update:


     As many of you know, a Blog Update always comes with a special image or image set.  This week we have a special sample of the Official Madoka Magica Artbook featuring the series main original artist's work.  The scans were of poor quality so they were enhanced by me, Dari-kun, and they look really great now!  These are exclusive images and completely work-safe and make great wallpapers!

** We have a lot of things to be announced in this update so, I'll be straight to the points .**

A)  First on the Agenda is the new Comment/Discussion page.  That is where we will host topics of the week/month as well as where people can post general comments, suggestions and all that great stuff.  It is also where visitors can chat with staff and each other in a comment based setting.  This board will be monitored so: No Flaming, Spamming, Trolling and all that stupid bad stuff is permitted, the post will simply be deleted.

B)  It has been brought to our attention that ddl links are and not working.  This is because our usual file host has dropped two of our hosts.  I'm going to stick with the new plan (Release#) as title and folder will be zipped in that as the above release has been.  

** It WILL take time to replace every downed file but it will be finished.  Use the comment board for books in particular that you guys want to see otherwise it will be done in Chronological Order. 

C)  New Releases:  We have a great "new" artist image set coming within the next day or so, the artist is named Itaru and has come a very long way over a short period of time, and his work is so cute!  Also, there is a NemuNemu book in final stages as well as an Uchouten one. 

D)  It's a little past the fact but there IS two holiday sets coming right after the "Itaru Image Pack" ... One for Valentines day and One for the Chinese New Year which just ended on the 15th.  It may seem like we have not been bust but we sure have to please keep checking back, especially this next two weeks; Or if you are new and wanted to see works that are under the broken links, thanks to ShotaCat for bringing that to my attention.

E)  No matter what and no matter the downtime, with your support we will prevail and continue our efforts in providing the community with wonderful translations from the heart - not no rushed garbage.

F) Thanks to everyone!  Happy New Year to Everyone and Happy Birthday to Hataraki Bachi!

Blog Update 10/14/11 - New Friends Make For New Experiences!

 (Madoka & Sayaka - Official art by Umi Aoki)

Thursday, October 14th, 2011:

Today we bring you wonderful news! (and a release!) We have just aquired two new members to our time, and boy are they working hard and doing such a great job!  I figured it'd only be right to introduce them properly and this is the best way to do so;

First to join us is: Rae-san, he's an excellent proof-reader as well as a translator, he's such a fun and bubbly person and is a wonderful addition to our group!

Second to join: Shadou-kun, he's a translator whose already done a few solo projects that some of you may or may not have seen, he's very talented and also a wonderful addition to our group!

So let's give our newest members a warm welcome and, let me say - On behalf of me and the rest of us here at Hataraki Bachi: Busy Bee Translations, Welcome Rae-san and Shadou-kun, we look forward to many fun projects with you two and I hope we make many great memories together!

Next up, Soon to be released projects that are in the works:

 

 Himiko Adachi (Kurikomi) - Friendship (Hunter x Hunter)

(An adorable Hunter x Hunter shota doujinshi, who doesn't love these two?)

Kine (Drum-Kan) - Kanwakyuudai

(School boys are sooooo kawaiiiii! This project is being headed by Shadou-kun, it'll be his first work as a member of Hataraki Bachi: Busy Bee Translations.  The reason we picked this book is because of the response the raw got and if everyone liked it in raw version I can't wait to see it finished!)

Also coming soon; 

Kashimada Shiki & Chie Yoshida - The Nice Animal Anthology

(not too much longer off from this one now, it's been edited from crummy scans to almost brand new digital version quality, hence why it's taking so long)

(Also known as; Leo Kurosaki and Makoto Horo from Uchoten, this book is one of the next ones our to do list XD)

Blog Update 10/04/11: A Dately Update

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011:
(Updated: 10/05/2011 06:03:00 - Worker Bee)
(Updated Again: 10/05/2011 08:27:00 - Worker Bee
(Updated Again: 10/07/2010 05:46:00 - Worker Bee)

Hey Friends!

 I wanted to get into the habit of updating more, I think it'd be better for everyone =) There isn't too much to report at this moment but here goes.

1- We just released the new version of Gaul's Reward and I thought it was AMAZING, as did a lot of you, good job guys and also thank you friends for you're support!

⁂We actually JUST released a FRENCH VERSION of this book - Which you can get to just by clicking the below link!  

Oki No Matsuhiro [Fuwawa] - His Royal Highness Gaul's Reward (Dog Days) EXTENDED FRENCH VERSION

2- Ofcourse we have our special collectible image for today's update post; this week it is a picture from Puella Magi Madoka Magica!  It's such a wonderful series and it's only 12 episodes long (for those of you that have limited free time such as myself)  It's really an original take on the Maho Shoujo (Magical Girl) genre and I GUARANTEE you will cry at some point, I don't care how "manly" you may be.  It's really an amazing show that hasn't quite reached the mainstream yet due to it's sub's/raw only status 'cuz it's not Dubbed.

Why this picture though?

To answer that question is easy; It's part of a wonderful side project I've been working on featuring Madoka Magica as the main focus.  The set will be released in probably 3-4 sets, one of handmade character pages (using offical art and some translated text); the Episode Illustrations (like above) will be released in the highest quality possible and lastly there is some REALLY cool witch cards that feature each with and it's familiar from the series and episode, I just have to translate and edit those and will probably be the last part released.  This project will be extra special - I promise~!

3- Kashimada Shiki + Yoshida Chie - The Nice Animal Anthology will be released within this week, it's a 40-something page book that has been completely edited and uncensored - It looks great I can't wait to hear what you all have to say about it!

4 - Just a reminder:

It's you the fans that we do this for (and ourselves to be honest, but only a little!)

Your comments and inquiries really help us decide on things to do.  

For example, item #2 on today's agenda, the Madoka Magica project, that was inspired by the poll we held asking what else you guys would like to see here! (You can see results in the Poll Results tab on right) So, we want to thank you and encourage you all to comment and be a part of the group.  

Please don't post links in a spamming fashion (ie: 3 links in one post, 2 more in the next) if you want to send us something that is more than one post, please feel free to email it. 

We love when you guys share things for us and suggest things so please don't hesitate to do so at all.  If you like a book, say so, it can really cheer up one of our team-mates when they see something as simple as "That book was great!" because it means a lot to us!  If you're worried about anonyminity you can always post as anonymous.  Thank you all for everything!

5 - Oh yeah, E-mail, while our group is in constant discussion and communication I sometimes forget to check the Hatarakibachi: Busy Bee Translations E-mail; Yes, it happens, I have a full-time school schedule, work and free-lance design projects aside from this which in itself is a full-time job (but more of a labor of love) .. Anywho, we are working out a way to be able to check the e-mail more often.  A solution is in the works as we speak, so to anyone whose written us and didn't get a reply yet, you will shortly and I apologize for such a long wait but we always get to every single letter at some point <3

6- WONDERUL NEWS! We NOW HAVE A COMMENT AND DISCUSSION PAGE (It's on the side bar on right under "Pages Tab" or "Here" ) 

This is something you guys voted for in a recent poll and we have delivered, I think it'll be alot of fun, go check it out now and we look forward to hearing and talking with you all!  You can remain anonymous if you wish, we have it set up like that <3

 Well that's all I can think of for now, I know there was something else but I'll just have to remember and come back and update this post on the d/l so no ones ;)  

Good Night Everyone And God Bless,

You're friends,

♡ Dari-kun and the Team  @ Hatarakibachi: Busy Bee Translations

PS: BE SURE TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR NEW UPDATES; RELEASES AND POSTS! WE HAVE SOME GREAT SURPRISES THIS MONTH!!
