it's really interesting to see pictures of Russia. here in the UK, Russia is a mystery. on our tv, and in school, we have never been told anything or any information. I wonder if I could see some film or video or documentary that will show me things about Russia. recently a UK documentary "an idiot abroad" visited Russia. they travelled on the trans-siberian express. I saw a lot of the countryside and also parts of Moscow. then we saw some people in the woods and they buried them under the ground with a pipe to breathe!

hm, I had completely forgotten about that thing we were doing to do with guyver info. what an interesting peer into net history! since we lost guyvernet and guyverboard, we have not really managed to recover the extensive info that we did have. it's sad that the resource is now gone. but of course the VDF project was completed, we have a complete english vdf and we have much more manga than we did have. nice to see you've opened up a blog, it'll be interesting to see what you put in here

that's fine, we are happy for all work on our wiki. as long as the wiki gets better, then our mission is fulfilled I'm very impressed with your work on the company page. it is very comprehensive and certainly the sort of thing we like! edit: with regards to creating a new topic, you should be able to do it just fine, I just tried it, it tole me to shift+f5 and try again, I tried that and i created the topic. I don't think there are special permissions needed, but if you still have problems, then just let me know and i'll look into it.

This is the discussion topic for the wiki article: Nippon Ichi Sofware

i couldn't provide anything at the moment since my interest in fourze is bordering on zero. by the way, I'm not sure on the error you are referring to. I don't see any problems here.

nice! it is certainly an excellent achievement! wikipedia is a very restrictive site really, and their information is not great. if people want to learn about kamen rider, then they should come to japan legend!

well images is my strong suit of course. I still haven't given it much thought since i spent almost 3 hours on the bus today, climbed a mountain and then 3 hours back. i'm a little pooped. but I'd like to think about it tomorrow. if you have any specific ideas for icons or thumbnails, please let me know. it'd be great to get a head start.

yeah. so it's not necessary to go out of our way to adapt and go against the title card. I agree.

actually... it's not 'known' that. we need to be careful. we know that kurumegnik's department was responsible for both the branchai bros' and for unus. it's a big step from developing the two main ones we can think of, to developing all of them, as if the other two rogue is not capable? anyway, let's not forget gastahl. do we know who developed him? I think it was jaervil's department. but i think what you are saying is that since kurumegnik's dept. developed the unus, then it makes sense that he developed the chariot feature for his own use? it's a reasonable assumption.

yeah that's correct. we changed them that way because of what was written on the title card. I'm wondering if we ought to think about what fans will be searching for though. what do people know the series as mostly. do they know ryuki as 'masked rider ryuki' or 'kamen rider ryuki' ? should we do it that way to help our search ranking, or maybe use a combination of the two? maybe we can call the article 'kamen rider ryuki' and then specify in the first paragraph that it is named 'masked rider' in the title card, but most english fans will know it as 'kamen rider'?

it's looking really nice. I'm thinking it needs something in the way of imagery, but currently i'm not giving it much thought. does it need some kind of icon or something? or maybe a thumbnail?

I'd love to see what you have in mind. it does seem rather bland to be honest.

as a result of new investigation,. thanks to durendal, the main page no longer needs to be locked to see the links in the header. so now the main page does not need to be protected. it can be edited by anybody. the 'editable links' section is unnecessary. should it be kept? or should the content of that be integrated into the main page?

yeah been a bit fatigued lately. lots of things going on around here. still haven't found the time to go over that forum skin properly.

yes you are right. even the last topic was named 179. amika must have missed it. I didn't notice either so I can't talk XD good eye.

whatever type of crystal guyot is using, it is probably going to be as efficient as shizu's. guyot is developed to be incredibly powerful though, so if it came to it, I expect he would destroy her. they may have the same power level, but shizu's power is focused on control and healing, isn't it? on the other hand, they may have given him an inferior dummy crystal to prevent him from going too much out of control. heh heh.... if he meets agito soon, he will go fully 'out of control' edit: thanks salkafar for your idiosyncratic scanlation I've got a few meetings this week so I shan't be typesetting this myself just yet. possibly tomorrow or friday.

I have a clean version from the scan that amika posted. well I need to go round the edges and that. I can do that later on today. I thought about it and it's really not that big of a job to do for me. I'll be adding the guyver 1 silhouette to it as well. edit: the first appearance of unus on their own was chapter 174, I've updated the article.

oh good stuff. things are a bit hectic right now so I hope i can provide the image soon. here's a question, would we count their first appearance, the first appearance of quadriga? or the first appearance of the individual unus? I think since quadriga is unus then we ought to count that as the first appearance. as for the type, they are labelled as 'zoanoid Unus' so I would class them within the regular class of normal zoanoid. just checking, the first chapter we see quadriga is 173.

branchai bros were from kurumegniks branch. so these are also from the same branch i think. yeah. nice one amika. good find once again I'm happy to read this in japanese, I could actually understand bits and pieces. but nothing that really sheds any special insight. oh apart from the way guyot refers to the unus as having specific formations. I think that there is not an unlimited number of combination they can do, i think that the 2 formation (dimer), 3 formation(trimer) and 4 formation(quadriga) are specifically put in. there may be more but i get the impression that it would have to be specifically designed into them.

i hear ya, but this is what i'm trying to express. I'm not even interested in watching any more episodes. I'm not feeling it in any way. you may as well ask me to watch 10 more minutes of watching paint drying. that's how i feel about it. that's all. to be sure, if I notice that you guys start raving about it, then i'll have a look at the things you are raving about but the ratings are relatively poor as well. ooo initial episodes floated around 7-10% rating, fourze is floating around 5-6%. the japanese audience don't seem to be too thrilled with it either.

hmm, I mean something like the switches. the switches seems like a re-paint of the medals or the gaia memories. the kaijin as well, the kaijin are made with switches too, the same as the past two series. this episode shows a new switch and how it works in a different way, just like the new medal, or the new gaia memory. and the characters don't even seem to be very compelling. there is nothing interesting about them to suggest why i would care about who wins some queen pageant. the main character says he wants to become friends with everyone in the school, which feels more like a gimmick rather than an interesting character trait.

guys, I'm really not feeling it. what do you think? seriously, it's not a case of being angry or upset at anything in particular. I'm just not feeling it at all. last night I was halfway through episode 3 and i just closed mediaplayer and opened up nichijou instead. I was that bored. I just don't have any motivation to watch it. I don't feel like there is anything of interest after episode 1. I think the things they are showing us are almost generic. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. are you feeling the same?

she looks half american. do you have an online profile for her?

i see what you're saying. yes you are right there. although there are many thousand hits on the other pages so it's still good.

hello, I have been looking at statistics today and thought i would share the findings. we may assume on some occasions that the wiki area of the site is not as popular as the forum or as popular as we would like. a lot of work is put into it and our desire is for it to be viewed and appreciated. I compared the index page of the forum with the index page of the wiki, here it is. http://japan-legend.com/forum/index.php - 23,033 views http://japan-legend.com/wiki/index.php - 14,585 views. looks pretty impressive, no? we don't generally see any evidence of visits to the wiki since people only read it and do not comment nearly as much as the forum. i think this is good statistics, what do you think?
