Site updates:
- FSN Chapter 24 RAW available
- MB Chpater 21 RAW available
- MB Chapters 15, 16, 17, 19, and 20 translated available. I'm still waiting for an edited version of chapter 18 to appear as a slew of editors appear at the same time to do these chapters; some starting at chapter 15 with some others going backwards at chapter 20.

On the Kara no Kyoukai movies, the 4th trailer featuring the 2nd movie is now available on the official site though you can also download it here or view the video on the link below. I also fix the links from my last post below for the other two trailers. So give them a see and marvel :D !

Also folks have a safe and a Happy New Year for 2008!!!

Okay folks here are the latest updates for the site recently done this day:

For FSN, chapter 23 RAW is now available for download with chapter 24 coming hopefully by the end of this since it appears no chapter was release for November as I haven't found a copy on any of the file sharing programs I use to get these titles. For Melty Blood, chapter 20 RAW is also ready for download as this chapter is from November. No word if chapter 21 will be out this month or next month as it has been about 6 months since the last break for the manga. Monthly series usually get 1 to 2 months of breaks per year so hopefully it will be 1 for this year. No scanlated version as of yet for volume 3 as LP is still working on the O-makes provided in the volume release.

As a bonus here are two more trailers for the Kara no Kyoukai movie with 1st link being the 3rd Trailer with Maaya Sakamoto doing voice over narration as Shiki Ryogi. I used the 1280*720 version since the larger 1920*1088 version would kill most of your bandwidths/computers/monitors for is size. The sound is fix at 5.1 so you will have to turn up your volume if you use anything lower than 5.1 as the sound won't come out as loud as it could do with a 5.1 system.

The next trailer features the 1st trailer that was release, this time with subtitles of the Japanese text done by the fansub group Starlight.

A new trailer might appear at the 73 Comic Market convention for the 2nd movie, http://www.akibablog.net/archives/2007/12/etc_aniplex-071215.html. Also at the same convention the 4th volume for the Fate/Zero novel series will also be made available as well as the official Image Soundtrack for the series, http://www.typemoon.com/event/c73/index.htm.

As a side note, the link for the official website for the Fate/Stay Night PS2 game has been updated to a new link as it was down for about a month but was recently fix with a new URL, http://www.ps2-fate.com. I also update the Play-Asia ads feature to the left with new items and remove the ones that had sold out recently. For those who want to try those Get Paid to Read Email program but aren't sure which ones to trust, I also updated the links section with new links for the programs I currently use and that have actually paid me on a regular bases once I reach the set minimum limit to get paid by them.

One last thing before I go:

As of October 28, 2007, FMT celebrated it's 1 year anniversary and I wanted to thank you all for your continue support of this website with well over 10,000+ visits and your many posts in both the guestbooks I have had up and your emails that I've receive over this time. With the new year I hope to continue to provide these great series to you folks and maybe even provide other series like say a Kara no Kyoukai manga if ever Type-Moon gives the green light for a official manga to be develop. So keep an eye out and be sure to visit soon again for the next RAW releases and hopefully the HQ scalated version of volume 3 for MB.

Recently there were rumours that FSN had been license by TokyoPop though no official word was given until it was officially annouce at the New York Anime Festival, held between Dec 7 to Dec 9, 2008, that they do have it and will start releasing the series in the 3rd Quarter of 2008. Source information located here, courtesy of http://www.animenewsnetwork.com.

Now with this news out Beast's Lair will probably stop releasing new scanlated chapters as it is our policy not to do license material for copyright issuses and to support the manga community for their effort on working on this great series. When the manga is official available all scanlated chapters will be remove from the site except for the 1st chapter like I have Tsukihime to give newcommers to get a pick as to what this story is about. As for the RAWs, I will continue posting new issues each month until the US manga reaches the same number as the Japanese issues have, just don't expect translations to be posted here.

More info hopefully to come later in the day for new MB and FSN releases as well as for other site updates. For now, my bed is calling for me so goodnight .... zzzzzz !
