guyver Novel and CD for sale
cheers bbdude. well actually, I'm no longer desperate to sell it. I managed to scrape through that tough patch somehow. perhaps I will keep the book. well unless somebody offers me a high price for it or unless it were one of a select few people who have worked on the guyver advocacy scanlations.

Pacific Rim
really? The EVA's were biological constructs. those don't look biological. so it's more of a very loose interpretation?

how strong is the guyver??
yep, that is true. so the pressure cannon, what i neglected to mention is that it used the gravitational power to create the area of high pressure / high density. it does most certainly use the gravity controller, that much is clear. also, we can take notice of his newer ability with the XD, where he creates a micro singularity. he pretty much does it the same way although it is of course far higher powered. about the headbeam, it uses excess heat from the guyver's system to fire that so I thik it is variable in power output.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Jouney
yeah that's kind of an interesting point. for the lord of the rings films, they cut out some major stuff. they cut out one part that I thought was the most important part, the culmination of the hobbits' journey. so they are really elaborating on gandalf's diversion? that was really brief in the book so I wonder how they can elaborate on it. with it not being what tolkein wrote... it could be awful.

Pacific Rim
oh man! that looks so awesome!! it looks like they are doing it properly! no messing about, that is seriously, daikajuu vs mecha. none of that godzilla hollywood crap, this is the real deal.

how strong is the guyver??
we don't really have a definitive, factual definition of exactly how the pressure cannon works. we have had various discussions about it and it sort of went a little like this. the guyver uses compressor in the wrist and focuses with his fingers. this is described in the VDF. we think that what is happening is that the guyver is forming an area of incredible density. then when he releases it, it creates a pressure wave. sort of like a sound wave but instead of being many pressure waves oscillating at frequency, it would be one big pressure wave. focused. basically anything it hits, experiences this localised shockwave. this appears to be what is happening and is the way it is represented in manga and anime. whatever gets hit by it, appears that it is getting 'punched' by the air.

Spider-Man Reboot
IMO the movie trailers really killed this movie. it probably would have done much better if the trailers were better. i saw some clips of this movie on tv, and what i recall seems very attractive. I think this is the same thing they do for a lot of movies. I also saw a tv trailer for the twilight film. I saw the cinematic trailers for it and it looks like a pile of trash. just some punks running about in the woods. but the tv trailer showed dialogue and character interaction and scenes in houses etc. looked a bit more interesting. I wonder if this spiderman film is a lot better than the trailers made it look? well you guys seem to like it so that must be the case.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Jouney
I've read the Hobbit so I know what to expect. but three films? I never caught that news flash, so I'm quite surprised. I find myself really wondering just how they could create three films from the hobbit! The book was not that long and I don't recall that many events that could make a decent three films. granted it was a very long time ago when i read it, but i remember the main set pieces. I recall about 6 or 7 major plot points. to make 3 films needs about 9 to 12 major plot points. I can understand you feeling like there isn't any parts in the movie that you could thing "that was awesome!" because it seems they are stretching the story too thin. I've got a lot of stuff going on so I don't expect to watch this one in the cinema, even though I was looking forward to it since the announcement. judging from your response, I may not be missing out on too much.

Guyver manga observations - chapters 29-34 (volume 5)
you need to read the takaya interview in animerica. it's in the Manga viewer. The name for Guyver comes from Megadiver, one of Takaya Sensei's favuorite tv series growing up. take a look:- メガダイãƒãƒ¼ ガイãƒãƒ¼ try this link for takeshiro - http://goo.gl/maps/Zgu0T and try this one for mount minakami. matsushiro is easy to spot to the west of it. - http://goo.gl/maps/tnOfW

Guyver manga observations - chapters 29-34 (volume 5)
that ought to be takeshiro chome. chome is a district of a city. but takeshiro ginza? that is very odd. ginza is a popular shopping district in tokyo. damn, I wish i could see the japanese book for this. WAIT. I can read these parts in the scan somebody sent me for translating these early books. the sign on the street does indeed say takeshiro ginza. this means it is the 'ginza' of takeshiro. it's on the gate so it is referring to this area being the shopping district. The title of the chapter refers to takeshiro town. the following page describes them as being in 'N city' area. I did find a takeshiro on google maps. https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=%E7%AB%B9%E4%BB%A3&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=34.918628,137.164178&spn=0.016257,0.03459&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&hq=%E7%AB%B9%E4%BB%A3&radius=15000&t=h&z=15 it is closest to nagoya. but I don't think it is close enough to be a direct match. the mountain we found that held the similarity with mount minakami is near nagano (as well as being named mount minakami). https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=%E7%AB%B9%E4%BB%A3&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&sa=N&tab=wl edit: btw the kanji for matsushiro town right next to the real mount minakami uses the same second kanji as takeshiro. also, I found an interesting page talking about secret headquarters underneath the real mount minakami... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matsushiro_Underground_Imperial_Headquarters

Old Guyver sites...
I am pretty sure that site still exists. I think it is archived on the warriorguyver site. edit: yep, I believe this is what you are talking about? http://warriorguyver.com/guyver2playground/index.htm

yes this sounds wonderful. if it is subtle then there is more chance of it being uploaded to various sites. but before it is posted I want to ask that any pages be sent to me in private. I want to add some things to the EXIF data. absolutely. even if it were just a case of somebody using a school computer and their mate logging in their account.

lost unit, I am not sure what to do about the VDF etc. we have had these available for a very long time so I am thinking a lot of people already have those pages saved to their computers. I can't see any need to change the way they are presented. about the new book though, I think the html method of presenting it is very effective. not only is it easier and less time consuming, it is nifty and it also deters people from potentially stealing. on top of that, it presents the book in it's original format for any member who can read japanese or has an interest in learning or simply wants to see the original text for some other unspecified reason.

that is of course a huge blessing. meeting your wife and having a child. who knows, the same may happen to me. well I sure as hell am not meting anyone here!

The spectrum
I'm just glad you guys like it. I thought it was pretty nifty when I tried it out. I've done a fair bit of typsetting in the past and creating the html page was like a dream. and reading the end result is so interesting. I like the idea of screwing with those sites. prepare a version of a scanlation which is subtly mocking them. this is something i thought about over the past two days. watermark is cool, but what if we sort of invented our own dialogue, that dialogue would be written in a way that mocks manga hosting sites and tells people to go to the right place for the manga. if they are stupid enough to re-post that to their site then it would be so funny and also a great job. Khamen, nice to meet you.

Old Guyver sites...
theguyver.net experienced some issues and I was focusing my energy on this site. I left the administration of theguyver.net in the hands of youngguyver. after time, this forum became very popular and the guyverboard was not as popular. we agreed to shut down the guyverboard and use this forum for both sites. then after some more time, the guyvernet unexpectedly went down. we never really got any kind of info about it and the domain is apparently locked to the old registrar so it is inaccessible to us. and so with that, the site was lost. to get the full story about that, we just need to wait until youngguyver is ready to talk to us about it. I haven't asked because, frankly I left it to him so it's not really my place to say anything. I don't have any right to ask about it.

before we do anything like that, we have to bring up the question of what a watermark will achieve. let's consider the situation that we currently have. we place our mark on the lower right hand corner of each release. if we visit the manga hosting site in question, we see our work being reposted. it is obvious because right there on the page is our mark on the bottom right hand corner. so what has this mark achieved? nothing. so then consider the situation where we make the mark bigger, and cover all of the art with it. we can then go and look at manga hosting sites to see if they have taken it. do you think our watermark will have stopped them? of course not. they will do exactly the same as they have already done. what will we have achieved? you know the answer. I like a scanlation as much as the next guy, trust me. but we cannot let these sites get away with this drenn. plus, seriously guys, if we want manga that is enjoyable to read in english, on the page, then shouldn't we be pushing harder to get it officially published? I know I probably don't do enough myself. I'd like to try harder to get a release over here. I just hope I can help to inspire others to do what I have failed to so far.
