  1. sorry to be so provocative, but this has been on my mind recently. with our recent efforts to ensure that yoshiki takaya gets his dues for his work, there have been a few responses. some people reacted very positively and strongly showing great support for this endeavour. some people were understandably upset due to their difficulties either financially or logistically. some people only care that they can't get free manga any more. The fact that there are any people that are in number 3 upsets me greatly. even people that we previously considered fellow guyver fans, may not actually be people we would want to call friend because they are selfish and merely want to rip-off the producer of guyver. now, I am not going to assume what is in anybody's head from their actions or their words. I will allow people to present themself how they wish and will merely react accordingly. but I am sure there are people who will have this attitude. I'd like to say that if any person who has attitude number 3, get the hell out of here. there is nothing for you here. but well, that is something that I would like to say, actually, this site is a welcoming place in general. for people in position number 2, we'd all love to help out and for people in position number 1, you are great and should be proud of the fact that you are a wonderful human being. ah well that is enough of my views on the matter, I want to hear what yo think. P.S. if anyone here is watching this and thinking that we are merely trying to make money, you guys should know that our margin is something like, less than £1 per book and that is in place as leeway in case of increased post costs etc. there is actually a possibility that I may make a significant financial loss if postage prices increase significantly. Also, current order volumes do not allow us to work with a books wholesaler so we cannot get bulk ordering discounts. This is the sad reality of things. people think we are trying to make money off of this. simply put, it's not financially viable for us to try and make money right now, it would make the books unaffordable for most guyver fans.

  2. I love having a digital copy. It's easier to store and manage. That said, there is something to be said about having the physical thing in my hands. Plus the art. Digital copies have been great in quality, but its still losing a bit when scanned. so highly in favor of this. And excited like a little school girl. But in a manly way.

  3. Or else because they just think it looks cool; Christianity's not very mainstream in Japan, if you didn't know.

  4. Well, I just got hired and waiting to start work, and I'm also in favor of owning a physical copy. I personally would like a paper translation that way I don't always have to as Mr. McTaco said it, 'another media'.

  5. I do support the idea. I just personally choose not to buy it, because I don't want to own Manga which I can't read, therefore having to turn to an online translation. Kind of defeats the purpose of owning the Japanese Manga in the first place. It's not exactly like downloading subtitles for a foreign movie now, is it? You own a physical copy which you can't actually read, and have to go on another media to read it. That, and also considering that I'm struggling to pay for the English Manga from Chuang-Yi Publishing and only have the first volume so far (which I accidentally stumbled across in Australia). Only thing I could suggest, is to possibly make people pay half-price to be able to get the Advocacy chapters/translations and NOT get a copy of the Japanese Manga.

  6. Well the bioweapons function differently for both. Obviously the Zoanoids have the advantage at first due to grunts alone being able to mop the floor with most of the umbrella creations, but remember, Umbrella bioweapons function by infection. If they could somehow infect and control a few Zoanoids, they may very well be able to reverse a few fortunes. Though in the end, Chronos would win, after all, they have scientists that are superior to Umbrella, and can probably create T-Virus Anti-bodies down the line.
