The discussion thread for the Guyver in English petition seems to have been deleted, so I'm starting a new one. To my understanding (without the wiki to help me) is that Guyver has been published 3 times, to an extent. Viz Comics, Star Comics and Chuang Yi Publishing. I'm not sure which volumes Viz and Star made it up to, but I know Chaung Yi released 10 volumes before going into liquidation. We have the petition on the board, but I don't think that's helping our cause at all. So, without knowing where the license for Guyver currently stands... What haven't we tried? Have we as a collective tried e-mailing other publishing companies about picking it up? There's plenty out there, and I'm sure at least one of them would love to get there hands on it. The other thing I had in mind was crowdfunding (Kickstarter, Pozible etc). Not sure exactly what we can do with it, but let's use this thread to throw some ideas around, because we desperately need our beloved Manga to be released in English!

A new Anime season is upon us, and I think some of might enjoy this one: Active Raid! I would post a video of the opening itself, but even the official one from Funimation is altered and sped up from the normal version. So this PV from a couple weeks ago is the best version of the Opening so far. Anyway! It's basically a special Police Division in powered suits dealing with crime being committed by criminals using powered armor/suits called "Willwear". The first episode was pretty good, and the design of the suits are pretty cool too. Judging from the opening and next episode scenes, the one girl also wears a suit, not just the two guys. Plus, I really like the opening. I can't wait for the single to be released ( 27th of jan!)

I'll have to wait and see how they handle the combat and "Multiple Episodes" thing... But I have to say, as much as I love the turn based battle system, iof this is anything like Kingdom hearts, I will enjoy the crap out of it. Now, I am doubting that, ONLY because they will most likely use a combination of the old system, and the newer system from FFXV... At least that is what it kind of looks like to me. And I never got around to playing the FFXV demo, so I am not sure how it exactly plays... But it is very action oriented. And square tends to do battle systems well, so I have little doubts about that. It's the leveling system that sometimes is garbage. As for the episodic part... The one BIG upside I can see, is that if we already have a gameplay trailer... We might see part 1 in 2017 for sure. Which I could see JUST being Midgar, especially if they expand content like they said they would be doing. I was initially kind of disappointed... But Am starting to see the light.

basically a new version of the original concept. A new game.
