  1. Right, what the heck am i doing???? Quite simply i am going back to the beginning of Guyver and i am going to re-read and re-watch everything because ive forgotten a lot and its just unacceptable!! i was going to review and share my opinions / observations on the manga, oav and TV series all at once, but i think its a bit much so the main focus will be the manga. Feel free to comment on anything i comment on! or if you reread the chapter aswell or remember anything else, tell us if i missed anything or just share your own opinion. lets talk about Guyver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #1 MANGA - VIZ - ''Awesome!'' - Chuang Yi - '' The Bio-Booster Armour'' - Advocacy ''Arrival! The Bioboost Armor Miracle!!'' So it all begins here! Wow. is this possibly one of the greatest first chapters of a manga / anime ever?? i say this because everything is executed so concisely and seamlessly. when you think about how the story expands from this beginning point it is quite perfect. we get just the right amount of everything, character introduction, basic story and action aswell. we are left short of nothing. earlier in the year on the board it was asked is Takaya a genius? i think in this case looking at this as an intro to a 30+ volume saga i would say hell yes! Takaya's style / skill has improved much since these early volumes but his potential is there. The design of the Guyver is genius within itself anyway. translation differences.... Viz - Chronos Chuang Yi - Chronos Advocacy - Cronos i am assuming here that Advocacy has gone with Cronos because Cronus / Kronos was a 1st generation Titan (offspring of the earth god and sky godess in Greek myth) which makes sense in the context of the rest of the story. Viz and chuang Yi got it wrong and went with the primal deity father of time Chronos. for more discussion sparked by chapter 1 see - Boost Organisms Armour state and interaction with Humans @
