yea, there is some few information regarding the new rider series already confirmed as Kamen Rider Drive, as the name suggest his theme is cars which I honestly don't mind since it is a rider. This new hero will transform via 2 devices the drive driver (redundant I know) and the shift brace which works like the Toqgers Toqchanger but instead of trains it is a mini car, here are the first images with the belt (which I like a lot) and his main transportation a red car called Tridon which can change form with the shift brace, these forms are called Tridon type speed, Midnight Shadow and Midnight shadow tire. what are your thoughts folks? will upload the suit design once it is revealed all I know it is that the color may be red this time. Images from Jefusion.

Marz is a little out of date with her information but I think she and Josh Knight give a fair review of the first Guyver.

lol, funny video. I really liked Jim the Knight But I wouldn't want to play that game. His comments during the video were hilarious, I couldn't keep a straight face the entire time. Check out the look on his face in this one. its hilarious. http://youtu.be/UZsBKbAJ3R8

I don't think Guyver is that sort of manga. What do we know about our protagonists, even after all this time? Almost no details from their personal life at all. It's all drama. Even Mizuki, who is as normal as it gets in Guyver, is rarely if ever shown doing anything that is superfluous to the story. Have we ever seen anyone read a book, watch television or play a video game? This suggests Zoalords have down-time, too (After all, the only real problem they ever deal with is Guyver-related... well, and now Apollyon-related) and I doubt they spend it all standing around as clothesracks for enormous capes and shoulder armor. We just never see them do whatever it is they enjoy. Dr.Barcas: Likes to putter in his bonsai garden. Shin: Reads. Recently finished 'Cien años de soledad'. Yentsui: Amateur stage player. Waferdanos: Liked to fly. Guyot: Predictably, he used to love competitive sports, especially tennis. Unfortunately those are out now because none of the other Zoalords play. He's trying chess now. ...Is the sort of thing I mean. That being said, there are several female protagonists in Guyver, the one closest to being a separate main character being Valkyria. And, again, we only ever see her in action or when she is reflecting on occurrences in her life that are relevant to the main story. Could you imagine her putting on make-up? It's just not that sort of manga.

I assume it was my comment about that interesting image you posted of Sean and Sho in the other thread that sparked you to ask this? What I mean by "looks like Takaya's style" is the line quality, the amount of subtelty used in the cross hatching to suggest hape/form (see: Guyver's shoulder pads), the angles of all the features of the Guyver's helmet, the intensity/suggestion of tendrils under the Guyver armour, the toning of shiny orb-like objects, the proportions (!! this is a big one)... Of course, Takaya's human characters are also done in a very unique, identifiable way. It's definitely changed in the last 30 years if you look back at his earlier works, but proportions play a big part in identifying this aspect of his work. Yuki hit the nail on the head about the concise and clear nature of his drawn action. Towards the end of my time spent reading Naruto, I remember barely being able to tell what was going on in the fights. Takaya's fights may be quite short and contain few actions by either adversary, but at least you will always know what the other is doing/has done.
