We've been "busy" around here lately. So there hasn't been much to write about. But several new improvements have been made on the sites backend. As for the public, starting tomorrow we will be covering all 3 days of the New York Anime Festival. Stay tuned for updates through the weekend.
Aside from updates we tackled a mini project that we are calling leetNEET Subs. None of us have ever subbed anything before so AGK translated, Exile QC'd and I did the rest. We subbed a promotional video for doujin anime Kowarekake no Orgel (or for us English speakers Half-Broken Music Box). Check it out below.
In other news AGK's C76 Download thread is growing increasingly popular achieving 4000 downloads to date. However I'd like to re-iterate that registration will be required in the future (by the time C77 rolls around).

So... the sites been a bit dead recently, but we'll be back in Sept with lots to offer. In the mean time there has been a lot of behind the scenes news. First up we have a few changes in our lineup. Unfortunately taz9024 has left us due to a demanding schedule that conflicted with his duties as an editor. On a lighter note though we now have two new editors, Shinaka & LewdAlien. Shinaka will be our new copy editor while LewdAlien will be a full fledged editor. You can check out his first article on Ponyo here. We all wish taz9024 and our new editors the best of luck in their endeavors.

Things have been um... dead to say the least around here for the past month. However there has been some good progress. The homepage has been redone and the new forumz are uploaded and now being moderated against spammers.
However there much work left to do and not much time left to do it in. So I'll make it simple its time to integrate at least 2 out of 3 systems on this site. The forums, the site itself and the comments systems have been stand alone for far too long. So let the integration begin!
Goal 1: Integrate forums and site login systems... (hopefully I'll get it done by next week).
Goal 2: Get editors back to writing!
Goal 3: Add an about page.
Goal 4: Get more readers, or should I say leet NEETs

Howdy all! I know it's been a while but we're back and working hard. From now on we'll be publishing articles regularly. But as important as that is, there is something even more important that you may have noticed. Yes, we have a new website powered by Joomla.
After tons of complaints about looks and features of the old site, we've upgraded to a professional content management system. So we have to port the old articles over still in some cases. And personalize the site more... but we're getting there.
You'll start to notice more changes soon! So please let us know if there are any problems so we can fix them. {jcomments off}

A LETTER TO OUR READERS
December 31st, 2010
It's hard to believe it's already been 2 years since this project started, and 1.5 since we officially became leetNEET. You're probably wondering why we're making such a big deal about this now. This year was our first full year of operation, and on top of that it's really been something special.
In the last year I've met so many great people and had so many experiences, that it's impossible to name each and every one. Covering anime conventions, reviewing masochistic games, checking out movies and writing about generic weirdness is not something I ever saw myself doing. But now, I can't imagine life without it.
Of course, none of this was possible alone. There are a lot of people that need to be thanked. Firstly, thanks to all of our current and former staff, especially all of our copy editors, without their work we would never have made it this far. I also need to thank the guys who hang out in our IRC channel for making everyday more interesting than the last. Also a big thanks to TAO69, SayuriMatsuri for helping me keep things running smoothly from day to day and our good friends in the fansubbing world (Gao Subs & Phantom Subs) for knowing Japanese when we don't. Most importantly, I must thank you, the readers for checking us out every day on twitter and facebook, telling your friends about us and letting us know what you're interested in.
Last but not least, I have to thank RPEG Electronics for donating a very generous hosting package to us, allowing us to handle more users as well as not go down every time some loads a page (like we used to).
The last year's definitely been something special, but next year will be even better! Aside from covering our first major , we also launched a youtube channel, made various changes to the site's layout and added a few new features like photo galleries. If we could do all that, there's no reason why we can't go further. Let's set the bar high for 2011.
Thanks for sticking with us. See you all next year!

Things have gotten quite busy around here lately and we've got a lot of changes in store. You're probably wondering what we do in between articles. Here's a rundown of how things will affect you.
Starting Thursday, February 24, 2011 at 12:01 AM EST, the leetNEET Forums will no longer be accessible. The reason behind this is they aren't in use and are occupying a server that can be used for other purposes. When asked to comment on the situation, that majority of staff members agreed that it's about time the forums got the ax.
Aside from that, you may have noticed polls on the site lately. If you participated we've tallied your opinions and are going to make a few changes. Firstly, we'd like to announce the creation of a new section to cover manga. A lot of people are enthusiastic about manga and feel the site would be more complete if it covered manga as well as Anime. Secondly, we'll be adding in a community blogging feature. After some discussion and voting, the idea will come to pass and will hopefully be ready for use by March or April.
Finally, on more informal note, convention season is just around the corner. We'll be hitting the convention circuit this year in order to bring you more interesting stories. It'd be great if we ran in to some of you in the field! Be sure to stop us and chat if you ever see us at an event.
If you have any questions or concerns, leave a comment below or drop by our twitter / facebook and let us know there.

Left to his own devices, the Manga Hermit was once a bright, innocent young lad who decided to delve deep into the realm of manga. He cared much for his more animated counterparts, but he heard the call of the painted text. With eyes filled with idealism, the Manga Hermit went deep into the confines of the library, the local bookstores, 4chan, and the depths of scanlation sites. He was last seen among the free-loaders over at a Borders bookstore.
Until now.
He has returned to the land of the coherent, ready to bless us with his wise discoveries of the pictured word! The MANGA HERMIT!
In sort, we are proud to announce both a new member of the leetNEET family, Malkits, as well as his new column (which is the first column ever here), Manga Hermit! Malkits will be writing about some of the best and worst manga, so be sure to check it out! Also, we've added a manga section to the site, you can find it in More for now.
