I hope they do continue this series.

It would be a shame to see it cut short like the last one only to have to be revisited once again in another 20 years!

Guyver has reached some type of a climatic event where its popularity is just high enough to merit the continuance of this series. Let’s hope the guys over there in Japan producing this stuff can come through and deliver at least 3 more seasons!

Of course, remember, we didn't get the first season because Japan. It was ADV US that actually pushed for it. Which is also why they are promoting it so hard for the Region 1 DVD release. Since it's practically their baby.

Not to say that it wasn't popular in Japan when it aired though. It definatly seemed to be that way too.

Personally I like how they are marketing it "The New Face of Ultra Violence!" Gotta admit its gotta nice ring to it.

the term "Ultra violence" always takes me back to Clockwork Orange.

Strange.

I haven't seen these adds as of yet. Only one I saw from them thus far is the one with the guy from Bioweapons.com. That was cool.

Seriously though doesn't labeling guyver as the next face of ultra violence detur from the over all message and concept of guyver?

Violence and sex sells folks. Giving it the snazy title of "The New Face of Ultra Violence" pushes peope to buy it so they can see people get ripped to shreds or stuff blow up big. We all know from the Guyver that it is a highly scientific and human series. But, not everyone can get that concept off the bat. So a nice label prompts people to see it for it's violent nature but then hopefully they get sucked into the drama of Sho Fukamachi and his fight to protect his friends and the world and the scientific development that is life.

I would've thought you would have had it already. It's been a long time.

Naa, buying, then selling a house and moving country again was more important. But in a few months time you never know :) DVD's and new model kits.

Bought Guyver series disk one back in November at Best Buy.

Bought Guyver series disk two and pre-ordered disk three from Best Buy online.

Disk one was awesome of course.

G2 pawned G1. I loved that.

Zerebuth was nice as always. I love his design for some reason. At least he lives to fight another day ;)

Disk Two, which i just finished watching earlier. Sweetness.

G2 still around for awhile. He is cool.

G3 shows up at last.

Noskov and his partner were cool. neat powers.

Powered Zerebuth shows up. WOW. G1 pawns him though in Defense mode.

Cronos Japan destroyed. Cool. Guyot blown up ?? No way...

Murikomi showing up at the end. Sweetness.

Cannot wait for Disk Three. (next 4 episodes)

They show a few zoanoids to expect in a preview.

Paladyne (ugg never liked him)

Atom Form 1 (Fake-guyver)

Murikomi with his Zoanoid-Buster Gun.

Cannot wait ;)

Well, alot of that last post was really.. misspelled.

Anyway, I've gotten Vol 1 and 2.

And Vol 3 is out now, though Best Buy didn't have it on the official release date. I'll have to pick it up soon though, maybe tomorrow.

I have to say, I more or less agree with the original thread poster. After warming up to it through RAWs back when it was first airing, I enjoy the new style of animation(though it doesnt hold anything to the original), and, even though many of the VAs sound incredibly wrong due to my introduction to the Guyver being the original anime, a few of the VAs sound decent, and in the first 2 DVDs, I've found about 3-5 people that actually pronounce names correctly.

But in my mind, it'll never be right as long as Steve Blum isn't doing Agito. But the booklet in the 1st DVD was nice, and since there wasn't one in Vol 2, I'm assuming they'll release either 2 total, 1 in vol 1, and 1 in vol 3. Or they'll release 3, 1 booklet every 2 DVDs. Either way, it kinda makes sense that there wasn't one in Vol 2, since the Vol 1 booklet covered most of the characters up through Episode 8.

Got vol. 3 and well no booklet :cry:. But all in all it was nice really nice. As for the who VA I don't really have a problem with any of the VA. I think it's mainly due to the fact that most of my anime is adv and since they use their own VA's for the most part. And I gotta admit I think it's pretty funny that the VA's for Sho and Mizuki are the same two VA for Full Metal Panic's Sousuke and Chidori. One of the things I like most about the new dubbed version is that Mizuki isn't the whinny little you know what she was in the first guyver series. So they don't say some of the characters names right who cares? I mean every thing else is so good it really doesn't matter.

pronoucing japanse names is a tricky thing to translate in to english, after all the orginal 12 ep series tried pronoucing guyots first name like the japanse do, only it should have been pronouced as richard seeing that it was an english name to begin with :roll:

As for the voices only one intially had problems with was guyot but gotten use to him now and he fits the character quite well. Have to agree its nice not to have a whinny Mizuki anymore :)

Seriously dude, if there was one thing that I disliked about the old series other then the different animation directors every other ep. It was Mizuki voices. *Burr* Gives me the chills just thinking about it.

Hi, guys. I'm looking for a more detailed description of the DVDs (like extras-commentaries, artwork, etc.). And has anyone bought the box?
