lost unit Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 i have started a folder in the manga viewer called covers. It contains the covers of the dvds and vhs of the guyver which many of you all ready have.In order to to make this more interesting i would like people to scan their original covers not fan made from different countries. We have plenty members all over the world which sell the guyver i would love to see the different artwork. If this works and is a success we could expand to not only the dvd/vhs covers but the guyver films and even the book volume covers. Even if you have guyver on vcd the art work would be good.This could be a nice collection if everyone contributes. Quote
*Jess♥ Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 it is a very nice idea. here, I will embed the manga viewer into this post - [guyver]covers[/guyver] Quote
Aether Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 im not sure if all of these pictures exactly qualify because they are not all scans, but... the first is just a cover from a magazine and the second is of the japanese guyver / mutronics VHS...3rd a german mutronics poster - maybe over time someone could provide the scans if they have the items? the last is an actual scan that i did of the out of control vhs that i used to have Quote
odin Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) I Still have my 2 Live action Guyver VHS tapes so I will scan them later today and post them here. Edited January 2, 2013 by odin Quote
lost unit Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 super thanks when i get i will put them with the others thanks for the input. Quote
lost unit Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 Hey Aether thanks for your pictures the first three are a bit small to put up but the out of control one was great i will ass it to the collection good work guys.I love seeing new covers i didnt even think was out there. Quote
Aether Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 no problem dude! i posted the first 3 just because i thought they might be of interest... especially the japanese guyver vhs cover, it looks kind of funny it would be cool if we got a big scan of that. Quote
Guyver Four Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Guyver covers of the Guyver OVA series and Guyver TV series can be found on the Guyver Solution Web site. Another place that also has Guyver covers is located at www.guyver.com. Edited January 3, 2013 by Guyver Four Quote
lost unit Posted January 5, 2013 Author Posted January 5, 2013 i looked everywhere for the japanese vhs cover of mutronics and couldn't find a better picture than you uploaded,but i did find another 5 covers which i put to the collection. Quote
*guyverfan Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) when i've got some more time i'll try to resize and upload some others. whats a suitable size? Edited January 5, 2013 by guyverfan Quote
*Jess♥ Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 nice, Japanese box cover I'd like to give my guidance concerning size. I think something around 2000 pixels wide is suitable. Size is not really an issue for the server, it's more a case of how quickly people can download them. I don't want to interfere with Lost Unit though, it's his project. whatever he says is best Quote
lost unit Posted January 5, 2013 Author Posted January 5, 2013 thanks Guyverfan keep them coming,i would agree with Ruyki around 2000 pixels so the pictures and txt are good quality and not blocky. Its amazing i spent a few hours scouring the net for good size covers and then yourself pop up with another i couldn't get or find thanks for the input guys. This is going to be bigger and better than i hoped it was gonna be so aint sure whether to keep it on the server and put up multiple folders the covers or put them on the wiki any proposals. Quote
lost unit Posted January 5, 2013 Author Posted January 5, 2013 i now have 11 covers in the mutronics folder anybody got anymore besides the Japanese one we can't get. i will keep looking and asking cheers guys. Quote
Aether Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 nice work on the newer covers dude. i especially like the none comedic japanese one... im even tempted to do some editing on it and change my avatar a little, seeing as it has the same pic on it. hmm probably cant be bothered though! i find the german ones quite funny - whats with all the zoanoids in b boy stances? its just too funny. and it doesnt make sense Guyver was the main emphasis of the movie not soe muppet looking monsters! what were the marketing people thinking??? Also i just wanted to say how cool the ADV covers are, as i had only seen a few before as i have the manga collected set, but im impressed with the amount of effort they put in - especially to give double sided covers! nice.

*guyverfan Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) hey guys, i was just wondering, would it be a good idea to maybe place a watermark across these uploaded covers? i'm all for displaying and sharing, but i really think there should be some sort of deterent in place to maybe stop certain people from easily accessing and downloading possibly hard to find/own images of dvd covers and duplicating them for possible pirated profit. or to just display on another web site? Edited January 5, 2013 by guyverfan Quote
*Jess♥ Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I think if somebody took the time and effort to scan an image in, then they ought to be able to deter people from taking advantage of their effort in scanning the image. whatever watermark people wish to put on it is their choice, if they have a stake in it. That sounds like a fair proposition. IMO. Quote
*guyverfan Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) these are fairly large in size Edited January 5, 2013 by guyverfan Quote
*guyverfan Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) i decided to upload each in a seperate post so i don't reduce the quality much, as file size limit per post is 1000K. its a pitty these scans don't capture the art work that well, the colours really are deep and almost luminescent. Edited January 5, 2013 by guyverfan Quote
*guyverfan Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) <p>those original japanese release sets came with some really nice graphics on the discs, 3D holographic of the unit G, where as with all the other international release sets only had the 2D image of the unit G.</p> Edited January 5, 2013 by guyverfan Quote
lost unit Posted January 5, 2013 Author Posted January 5, 2013 thanks Guyver fan they are great i have put them in them into the server.Was the last one you put up was it a full set pack was it uk or usa?<br /> Quote
LordSpleach Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I know the right cover is from the USA because I physically have that one. Quote
