i like that chinatsu wakatsuki. she is cute. and i like her name, i think it's "young moon"

hmm, ok there is a restriction of 15 images per post. I just found that setting. now.. I would imagine that you don't normally have that many.. but what happens is, if you post in a short amount of time after your last post, the forum merges the two posts. if your combined number of images is more than 15, thats where the problem will come in. it is set at 2 minutes. so any post within 2 minutes will be merged. I hope this helps.

I don't know what you mean by this? did you come across a problem? I checked to see if any of teh admin had changed any setting and cannot see any evidence of any restriction being put on. also, there doesn't seem to be any option for restriction of the img tag. if you come acros any problems, please let one of us know so we can check it out.

yeah, I totally agree. vampires are supposed to be this effeminate gentle romantic figure that has this hidden vicious side. I love how they are portrayed in bram stokers dracula, it's such a excellent symbolism for sex. it's the romance and the seduction, but when they show the creature having sex with her, it is an ugly animalistic thing.. it's a disturbing take on the actual reality of our world. well in many cases.. but of course there is the exceptions. I think that this could be why these designs do not seem to fit.. because the visions do not speak of romance and do not speak of hidden monstrosity. these visions speak more of gallant heroicism and strong dependable manlyness. it has a very different theme that is not befitting of the core ideals of the concept. also the portrayal of maria suggests of lolicon in durendals view, I have to agree and it brings about ideals of depravity and wrongness. I do think that if these changes in conceptualisation were intentional and fitting with hte story, it could mean a very different type of castlevania not following the traditional mould. a lot of the recent games have been quite stagnant and following the same formula. if the director of this game hs been adventurous and is taking this game into a new risque direction, it may be very interesting indeed. I could imagine a vry strong sublplot or even main plot that includes the themes of humanity's coruption. almost echoing the line in symphony of the night "what is a man, a miserable pille of secrets" . in this case, by exploring this figure of 'gallantry' (which in my view is an abuse of machismo and pushing to extremes) and showing how this relates to hte lolicon iconography, it can leave a very interesting message in players minds. but what that might be, I do not know. perhaps showing how dracula is not necessarily all that bad in comparison to what goes on in the human world? hmmm, it would be interesting to find out.

this sounds completely stupid.

yeah, that is very cool, and i feel it may work quite well. where did you get that? who is the artist?

I think that this could work, if it were based in some eighties alternate reality, like fist of the north star. that artists work has that kind of feel. in some way it does fit with some of the earlier castlevania art. which is ok if they were setting it in some of the earlier era with the other belmonts.. but i think around the time of richter belmont, the series felt more elegant and decorative, rather than the earlier gothic robust themes.

that's so ugly. why would they go for that style, it doesn't fit with hte previous series. I think it kinda ruins it.

first thoughts.. "eww"

i agree. I thought about what you would have to go through to do that. perhaps you can link us to the page where the images were originally? (i wonder if there was some way for the server to detect the link, transfer the image to this server automatically and link to that instead.. ?)

I think the problem with sean is a mental thing. see, the guyver reacts to the hosts psyche, and the power of will. now, there is a common held belief that human beings only fail to do some things because of their belief in their own reality. if somebody thinks they are not good enough for a job, they will not get it. well I think that sean barker is pretty grounded in reality. he sees the world around him and thinks what is realistic. the guyver reacts to this and thus reflects the thing that sean will be used to like, say, wrestling, kung fu, etc. on hte other hand, sho has a fairly open mind, exposed to japanese culture al his life, he has likely been watching shows like ultraman, anime like akira, insanely powerful monsters and so on. sho's imagination is full of insanely awesome stuff, and he is a dreamer. sean is definately limited mentally. i realise that this doesn't support the other guyvers in hte manga... so i'll go on to expand what i said and change th focus a little. not necessarily focuing on their lives and what they have experienced.. sho is in a manga universe. agito and theothers also. their universe is one where amazing things can happen. seans universe is heavily based on reality. that's what limits it. the worlds they live in. I suppose by this stage, my idea became pretty lame

dude, you hotlinking the images from somebody's site. I have to point out that can be considered quite rude by some people. anyway, those first 2 images have been blocked by hte host.

well this all goes without saying. I was just entering into the spirit of the discussion so far :wink:

well the thing about a zoalord.. what makes them special is their energy manipulation and the barrier technique. balkus showed none of this so he wasn't a true zoalord. he had a small level of mind control of course, but it seemed pretty weak in comparison to fully fledged zoalord. I would say that he was probably a proto-zoalord. and he remained faithful to cronos and gained an executive position and managed to stay alive. a prototype that was being used to test out strength type abilities. perhaps a proto type for cablarl.

i'd like a remake that uses the original art and increases the resolution. thing is though.. that depends on if the original art was digitised animation frames or if it was pixel art. but no messing around with hte game itself. i wouldn't like that.

wow, that windows 7 actually sounds good! vista always seemed like a waste of time to me. all my programs run on XP and I never saw any reason to upgrade simply to get some snazzy see through windows.

i'll give some adjectives here furui - old wakai - young takai - tall mijikai - short ooki - big chiisai - small urusai - noisy shizukana - quiet

ah! I see, that is really interesting it seems to me that "kere" is used as a verb in this case... I think it's wonderful how as i learn more about japanese, I also learn more about english. because the nature of verbs and adjectives etc become more clearer.

i think you are most qualified to write things i here. If I learn something new, I will put it here. so if i were talking in slang... could i say "tsuyoba" ? or "tsuyonaba"?

i was watching farscape the other night and the characters got shrunk down in size. they were talking about how it shouldn't be possible.. I thought it was a good parallel to this discussion. if their atoms were shrunk, they wouldn't be able to breathe the air because the atoms would be too big. if they had less atoms, the body systems wouldn't work as effectively. it's a good job guyver can be self contained! i want to lay out some stuff. when guyver turned into guyver gigantic, it took months of gestation in order to remodel the body. in order to create a new body that is so much bigger, keep it the same shape and proportions, same effective desity... that seems pretty complicated if it has to restructure all hte body systems, make stronger fibres etc. so to me, it makes sense, that it just gets bigger. the inner structure must be the same. the only way to have the inner structure the same is to have bigger atoms. to be honest, I've tried to come up with some ideas as to how the atoms could be bigger. this doesn't seem satisfactory, I would appreciate some help with it.. but oh well. it's not my problem. I like my ideas. i had another idea here. our bodies size and structure is limited by the gravity of out planet. this is the same as our ability to float up above the surface and float about at great speed... is limited by our gravity guyver does this however. it seems silly to me now when i consider that guyver has a great degree of control over gravity. surely guyver can allow himself to become big simply by manipulating a gravity field?

this.

cool, stuf, I have you all on my list i think. anymore 360 owners?

I love those japanese clips!!! we need more of them!!
