The anime starts to diverge from the manga in the middle of the third arc, it's in episode 137 where it starts to diverge and volume 22, chapter 207.
The anime's ending is completely changed from the manga and the story is much worse and less interesting, plus considerably shortened from the manga. Plus, the anime does not conclude the fight to become king. (However ending scene of the anime has a correlation to the end in the manga, so it seems Raiku had tried to redeem it somewhat.)
So in order to have the proper ending distributed more quickly, we're going to scanlate it starting from the beginning of the 3rd story arc. That's the one after the Zophise arc.

Konjiki no Gash Bell!! has 150 episodes. It ended at the end of the third arc. Starting at episode 138 (Though there are no major changes until 139), the episodes started to diverge from the manga because the mangaka broke his hand, and couldn't continue the manga for a few months, causing the anime to catch up to the manga, and they changed what happened and ended the series quickly. Also, apparently the sponsors in part decided to end the show because of declining sales of the trading card game.
This filler ending only retains a few of the things of the original story, but they changed major parts of the plot to make is much faster and it's a considerably worse story. Because of this, we decided to start scanlating the manga so we could properly continue the story.
Up to 139 or so the story is still very good. The rest is still worth watching though the story is not as good, and the battle to become king is not concluded, but left open ended, plus different characters who were defeated or not, changed. However, near the manga's end Raiku seems to have drawn what happens to be similar to the anime's end to make it have more similarities, and perhaps the part after the credits in 150 is actually a flashfoward to Volume 33, except with the various changes made at the end of the anime.

Here's the current plan on when to do the 2 Gash Bell movies and OAVs:
Movie 1: 101 Banme no Mamono (101st Unlisted Demon)
Originally, we were going to sub this much earlier. Though there were problems getting it translated, we ended up needing everyone who'd been translating the movie for translating the anime.
This movie doesn't have any spoilers past where Umagon's partner is introduced, in episode 65. But it takes place some time just after the Zophise arc ends. We'll most likely release this somewhere before we release episode 110.
Movie 2: Mechavulcan no Raishuu (Attack of the Mechavulcan)
This movie was released between episode 118 and 119, so we'll try to release it around there.
OAV 1: 00F: The Man with the Golden Tits
There were 2 short OAVs made, this first one is pretty weird and was released as some sort of bonus DVD to subscribers of Shonen Sunday. It contains a 15 minute episode and a short trailer of Movie 2. We'll release it around episode 111.
OVA 2: Hashire Gash!! Ubawareta Umagon
This is probably some sort of filler episode of Gash that was never aired because the anime ended at episode 150, the last episodes of the anime were changed to end the show quickly. it's about that guy whoo they thought was Umagon's Book Keeper who was really a thief, from episode 46.
Update - We're more so concentrating on the series, rather than the movies and specials. So we'll probably do them a lot later than they're supposed to take place. But we'll get to them eventually. Probably after the anime is done completely.
If there's ever some sort of Gash OVA that continues the story, we'll sub that too. But there are currently not plans for anything like that.

Well if you're asking that, I thank you for reading the FAQ first. Though I'm perturbed about why you would not even know what the one show we do is about and somehow getting to this site.
Konjiki no Gash!! the manga and Konjiki no Gash Bell!!, written by Raiku Makoto-sensei (that's japanese name order, with last name first), the anime is about the battle of 100 demon children who are competing to become king which takes place every 1000 years. Each demon is paired with a human partner who is given a spell book of a specific color, and the human can cast the demon's spells through their book. If a demon's book is burned, they disappear and return to the Demon World. The last demon remaining becomes the king. The show is oriented around Gash Bell and his human partner, Kiyomaro Takamine.
The rest, you'll need to watch for yourself. :)
