Lenners came into our channel and alerted us that Orange Roof 53 was released. Apparently, I have problems distinguishing “two” and “too.” However, since Lenners is a most excellent proofreader, she caught my mistakes and fixed them! Now, I’m sure when Woxxy wakes up from his beauty sleep, he’ll add the manga to the reader and a download link. In the meantime, please head over to SCX-Scans and grab it there. While you are at it, give props to those who worked to bring this great manga to you all!

Edit by Woxxy:
DDL&IRC | Read it on the new reader!

I am risking to miss the train for this!

Konnichiwa, Hatsune Miku desu!

I thought I might as well share the rest of the family as well.

Miku Family!

What’s next, oh right some close ups of Miku.

Let me out!

Negi Banzai!

Hop!

Traparencies hurrah!

I tried to do a picture with all the Mikus holding their Negi’s up, but Race Queen Miku doesn’t have one!

Negi's up!

Cheer!

Alright now for some Nendroid Theatre :P.  This is my first ever one, so sorry if it sucks.

Gimme my car back! Car jacking is wrong!

Ya, give it back! Green Mikus UNITE!

VROOM!

Oops, looks like it's mine now!

Well that’s it.  I hope you liked it :D.  Any comments and suggests are much appreciated!

]]> http://foolrulez.org/blog/2010/03/happy-belated-miku-day/feed/ 14 We’ve created the most beautiful and MAGICAL manga reader. Ever. http://foolrulez.org/blog/2010/03/weve-created-the-most-beautiful-and-magical-manga-reader-ever/ http://foolrulez.org/blog/2010/03/weve-created-the-most-beautiful-and-magical-manga-reader-ever/#comments Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:39:40 +0000 woxxy http://foolrulez.org/blog/?p=3924 How many times did you think “Just how long is it taking to load the next page RAAAEEG“.

Honestly, we’ve gone in search for something that really satisfied our need for perfection. And, in so many manga readers, we never have found what we’re seeking for. Saving bandwidth, compressing images to hell, never using PNGs, constant reloading of pages, no preloading at all.

And this is how, we’ve evolved. No manga reader has ever been this fast, this handy, this MAGICAL.

I am now presenting, the FoOlRulez Manga Reader v2. The most beautiful manga reader ever created.

Not one image preloaded. Not two. TEN images preloaded, at once. The whole power of our server, all the 35mbit are in your hands. You can scroll through the pages at incredible speed, while the loading is shown through nifty green blocks, and your current page through a blue block. Amazing.

But, if that was all, it wouldn’t be all that pretty.

We added a spectacular effect, whenever you change page. It will scroll up, to the top of the page of your manga, showing you that the page has effectively changed.

What are you waiting for, go try our new FoOlRulez Manga Reader, right now!

And after parting with some $$$, I now have it in my hands *_* It better be awesome, coz I bought a brand new 37″ Full HD LCDTV and a PS3 for it… I know the reviews aren’t super great for it, but the graphics should be insane :D :D :D *drools*

Oh yeah, Orange Roof 52. As usual, I can only give you guys the mediafire links. Others will have to wait for Woxxy to return for the other links :P Remember to drop by SCX scans too!

]]> http://foolrulez.org/blog/2010/03/orange-roof-52/feed/ 8 Introducing… Necrophantasia and his WAIFUs http://foolrulez.org/blog/2010/03/introducing-necrophantasia-and-his-waifus/ http://foolrulez.org/blog/2010/03/introducing-necrophantasia-and-his-waifus/#comments Sat, 06 Mar 2010 09:33:33 +0000 Necrophantasia http://foolrulez.org/blog/?p=3895 More posts to make the blog have more than just release posts!

Everyone wants to hear more from Foolrulez super star translator, Necrophantasia, right?  RIGHT?  Probably not, but in any case since I was caught red handed with a kidnapped twin tail loli here are some members of Necro’s top 5 2D waifus that I’ve already kidnapped!  But I’m nice enough to let you meet them so you don’t miss out.  Just meet alright?  Hands off!  PS Woxxy, Nymph is mine so too bad!
In order from top to bottom, the 5 are.

1. Hatsune Miku

Hatsune Miku

Please tell me you know her!  If not I will slap you silly.

2. Nymph

Nymph!

Ok please tell me you know her.  How can you be on Foolrulez and not know!  If you really don’t know… I direct you here to Sora no Otoshimono.  One of the most time consuming mangas that we have the joy of producing.  I’d wager that Nymph is the only reason some of us are working on this manga…

3. Fate Testarossa

Fate Testarossa

Third is Fate Testarossa from Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha and Nanoha A’s.  NOT StrikerS.  Now StrikerS was bad in all sorts of ways… i.e. training…. Subaru… among other things… but Fate does what a twin tails loli must never ever do!  She grew up!  It was supposed to be a show about magical “girls” not “women *le sigh*.

4. Kirishima Kotone & Akari

Twin twintails!?!?

Ok… so first we have twin tails.. then we have TWINS!?  On top of that one is a tsundere and one is a yandere?  How much better can this get?  *explodes*  Do check out Nyan koi! if you get the chance, you won’t regret it, especially episode 10.

5. Azu-nyan

Azu-nyan

Twin tails with cat ears?  Sure, why not?  She plays a guitar too?  Even better!  I doubt I have to introduce her, but Azu-nyan from K-ON!  is so moe it’ll make you gush.  Oh she even has a twin sister who lives somewhere in Europe after some sort of post apocalyptic event where they all only speak French, see here.  (Sora no Woto)

6. Shirai Kuroko!

Kuroko!

I know I said 5, but I couldn’t not include Kuroko.  From the yuri screams of “Onee-sama” to her uncontrolled libido and her fighting attitude… Top loli for sure!  Do check her out in To Aru Kagaku no Railgun.  She does appear in Index, but far too briefly for it to count.

Other captured twin tail lolis you probably have never even heard of nor will ever hear of  because their medium has never been translated and is unlikely to ever see light of day in English, which is really too bad but maybe their designs will capture you anyway.  I’ve decided to not put them in the ranking because of how inaccessible their sources are.

Nikaidou Reika

Ojou-sama character from the eroge Akatasuki no Goei.  She actually has a non-loli younger sister… funny eh :P.  Pink hair, twin tails, loli!  Who’s in?  The eroge is great too, provided you can read what’s going on.

Finnel

Closet masochist twin tail loli who strips to power up her song magic?  I’ll bite.  Hailing from from Ar Tonelico III, which will probably never see a localization.

Kasugano Sora

Blond twin tail loli from eroge Yosuga no Sora.  Who has a twin… brother.  Too bad.  I haven’t actually finished the game yet… but it seems to feature some twincest as well.

Well that’s it.  I didn’t actually think there were actually that many twin tailed lolis that caught my attention until I wrote this post.  Funnily enough, out of all these lolis… all but one of them also have Zettai Ryouiki…  Perhaps that’s a loli thing after all?

And under Z-Virus request, I post some of the pictures of her he likes.

Oh well, this is all.

Almost every team member working at this had life threatening problems while working on it.

That’s how it took one whole week with a team of 8 people to release 41 pages of mango.

A bad surprise for all of you: the download version is wh00ping 86mb. Since we use the download system as backup as well, we won’t change compression factors nor we’ll reduce the size. So this is it, take your time downloading it or use the manga reader.

On more news, I have just developed a new kind of manga reader, so good that when I’ll put it on track (might be tonight?) you won’t be willing to leave it ever.

Alright, Sora no Otoshimono 36:

]]> http://foolrulez.org/blog/2010/03/sora-no-otoshimono-36/feed/ 7 And another proofreader recruitment attempt! http://foolrulez.org/blog/2010/02/and-another-proofreader-recruitment-attempt/ http://foolrulez.org/blog/2010/02/and-another-proofreader-recruitment-attempt/#comments Sat, 27 Feb 2010 13:03:50 +0000 Z-Virus http://foolrulez.org/blog/?p=3870 Since some of our proofreaders lately became inactive while the workload is still pretty high, Woxxy asked me to write up another recruitment post.

First, you should know English well, that goes without saying. Japanese knowledge helps, but is anything but a requirement. You should also be aware that this will take quite some time, so if you don’t have the dedication, please do not apply either. And lastly, more than just mere knowledge of English, you will need to have an eye for detail and be able to spot that single typo in those hundreds of words.

If you think you got what it takes, then by all means send Woxxy a mail/PM in the forum.

The next step will be a proofreading test. You may wonder why we bother with that, but one good proofreader is easily more valuable than 10 merely average ones.

The test will consist of 4 translated, but not yet edited chapters and one chapter that has been fully edited. This might sound much, but keep in mind that you’ll have all the time necessary to finish. Not to mention that this isn’t far from what you’ll be doing every week anyway. The chapters themselves have plenty of things to look out for, from typos to questionable grammar to other little surprises. This goes doubly so for the edited chapter.

With all that said, I hope you are still interested in undertaking the challenge.
