New look to the site! Just for a change for the new year ^_^

First of many updates over the next couple of weeks. These are both new additions and updates to current galleries that will occur. Since the updates will take some time as there are a lot of screencaps, I figured I’d put it up over a short period of time.

The first update is actually part 1 of two parts – Katekyo Hitman Reborn. You have been asking me for it and so here it is, minus the first 145 episodes! Please do not ask me for these missing episodes as there are currently no raws available. If raws do become available for these earlier episodes, then I will download and update the gallery, but for now you’ll have to be happy with more recent screencaps. This first part is episodes 146-156 (11 episodes). There is a second part which should bring the series up to date (pending one episode raw I’m waiting on) and this will go up during the week sometime.

Following on from that the next update will be Naruto/Bleach, then Inuyasha/Fairy Tail and finally Tegami Bachi. I’ll also try and get 07-Ghost completed.

You’ll also find the Top 10 Anime Characters now on a page of its own. I’ve now included the Top 10 Anime Characters voted in the Animedia magazine so you’ll see there’s a different group of fans for each of these anime magazines!

Anime TV Katekyo Hitman Reborn! – 4008 screencaps (Eps 146-156)

I just thought I’d mention that there are definitely updates happening soon, just can’t say exactly when. I’ve been busy screencapping a ton of anime episodes, but the culling of the screencaps is what takes the longest time and I’ve been doing other things  as well which also delays the process. Nevertheless, an update will go ahead in the very near future.

You may have also noticed a few changes around the screencaps gallery – I’ve split up the Naruto Shippuuden gallery to make it easier to find screencaps and also to alleviate a bit of stress off that particular gallery. The screencaps have been broken down into their ‘arcs’ and placed in its own category under the “Completed Galleries” section. Only the newer arcs will remain in the original Naruto Shippuuden gallery on the front part of the galleries site. I’ll also do this eventually for Bleach but will wait until after I’ve started on the first 1-129 episodes (which I’m still downloading).

Some series have also been moved to another category called “Galleries on Hold”.  These galleries will be updated but they are not a major priority for me so they’ll get done when they’re done. The anime series currently in this category are “Clannad: After Story“; “Tales of the Abyss” and the DVD screencaps for “Ghost Hunt“.

I’m likely to do a fairly big update when it happens so when you see the screencaps gallery go offline, you’ll know I’ve started updating!

Previously I scanned in my anime calendars (usually Bleach & Naruto) and put them up on the Image Gallery for you to check out and download. This was then your own opportunity to create avatars, signature blocks etc. However, it is such a time consuming task that I’d rather work on the other time consuming task of screencapping than trying to fiddle around with large bits of paper scanned in on a small scanner. So this time I decided to scan in the characters on each of the calendar pages and upload them as avatars. They are larger than usual (150×150) and nothing fancy has been done to them so they are free for you to download and alter or use as is (please do not direct-link to the avatars). The images scanned are from 2009 and 2010 calendars though not all images were scanned (some pics didn’t turn out well enough even for small avatars).

Bleach avatars – 39
Naruto avatars (150×150) – 64

Yep, its 2010 here where I live so Happy New Year!!

I hope to have some screencaps up for you in the near future so keep coming back and checking from time to time for new updates!

Hopefully we’ll see some great new Anime series this year too ^_^b
