things get complicated when we have multiple versions of releases, especially when they're done in radically different formats. I quite like the html version, very nifty and effective for stopping people from hosting it themselves. i could understand maybe releasing a couple watermarked pages to the public, to say "hey, new guyer is out, check it out on japan legend", but for a full blown system, i think the html is really cool.

What do the male Guyver II designs look like!? are they like the modern guyver 2 or are they closer to the original manga version?

You are sneaky Matt!! Hahaha, let us know what goodies it contains.

We already do this... http://view.thespectrum.net/manga/Guyver/Volume%2027/guyver_v27_013.jpg we've taken quite a few measures to prevent this sort of thing from happening. Ryuki, your idea is very extreme. i think a simpler idea is to make this forum private and close registrations. perhaps introduce an invitation system. so far, no one has touched the recent volumes since i think they just depend on us to release them. if the volumes do not leave this forum, i don't foresee anyone else being that bothered. and if they are, well then i don't see them getting round to it till at least months after we have our version, making theirs pretty redundant for us lot anyway. pruning members who have been inactive for a certain amount of time before privatizing the forum would probably be a good idea too

okay i can't be bothered to finish this because it really isn't fun but you guys get the idea.

those were nice indeed, i think this is pretty much as good as it gets though you could probably get away with filling in some of the blacks too. although then it looks a bit inconsistent with the grays... hmm i'm going to try something in a bit. while we're on this subject, how did you clean up that image of sho and aptom's disguise so quickly ryuki? do you run it through illustrator? or do you do it manually?

I really like the effect of the fire's light on the leather. Nice work on that man. What exactly is he reaching out for or doing though? the hands(?) are a bit nondescript.

Awesome, thanks for the translation and typeset guys. Sho sure was polite to Shin, was qutie strange seeing such an intimidating figure speaking so politely. It was a short chapter indeed, but it was certainly 14 pages well spent.

I think you need to be very careful with cleaning Guyver manga, what with all the halftones and stuff. Igf you overshoot it you lose a lot of the detail. I probably wouldn't take to using the dodge and burn tools on any manga page though, don't want to create highlights and shadows that aren't there.

We're all waiting for a translation as well, don't worry Ryuki, good job! Clever on the imitation guyver colour scheme. i was thinking about whipping up something myself, though it might have to wait until a little later..

Hmm just watched it and i think I can see what you mean Ryuki. I'll have another watch later and give my thoughts properly

All we can hope is that a generous Guyver fan buys it and shares a couple photos. Thought it has Zerbebuth which is a little weird. I wonder if he was originally slated to have a cameo. I seem to remember seeing an Enzyme in the background of the ship massacre scene

That was awesome!!! I also thought it was a Guyver Zoalord! That was clever stuff, I would've been crapping my pants if I was Shin. I doubt that Aptom can enhance the Guyver with that "cloak". It probably is purely for disguise. Though it does look like it could be an awesome battle form. All those crystals sure make it scary looking. Definitely the best chapter in a while. Thanks Guyver Four, please keep us updated!

All i have to say is a repeat of the others, that is seriously awesome work Ryuki.

Interesting how they tease the potential of a Zoanoid equipping the unit rather than a Zoalord at the end there. And then for them to do exactly that next film! Thanks durendal.

Eurgh, I forgot how awful episode 7 looked. I know there were some pretty bad mistakes on colouring bits of the guyver armour too. I would love to see anything you come up with in regards to this Ryuki! That little line test looks miles better than what I now remember the turning head looked like. When I first looked at the screenshot, I thought you grabbed a still from the OVA and just applied a filter on it to smoothen the lines. Like those cheap "HD" ones you see. I assume you were trying to keep the quality of the lines similar to in an actual screenshot but I think you may have overshot it a little..

I've never been a diehard Spiderman fan so my opinion is that of someone who watched the original trilogy and this film simply as they are. i personally found it to be very enjoyable. Peter Parker under the guise of Spiderman was actually quite charming, I liked his wise-ass humor. Although I couldn't relate to him as Peter Parker as much as i could when Maguire played him because he was a lot cooler looking. more intelligent, and less just nerdy. but i think it was indeed a very well paced film; pretty exciting scenes with the Lizard Doc i don't know if i liked it more than the other version, i've watched that one more times than i can count because i happen to really like that film too.

Assuming Chronos is not around trying to cover up the Guyver unit and hurting anyone who comes into contact with it... I would be your friendly neighborhood Guyver! I think it would be fun to be a known vigilante like Spiderman or something. Not a lot the authorities could do to take you down either if they don't like you. Obviously if I'm just dealing with crooks and stuff I wouldn't have to be lethal, so I would be more than suitable to clear up crime

Gotta agree with Ryuki, the high res ones look great. I would scan them in fairly large so that you can avoid having to size them up from a smaller resolution Good job on getting this stuff to us though man! Great stuff

I google reverse-image searched these and came to a japanese website with a few more pics, including progress ones. very cool. i wasn't sure how to navigate the site though, no idea if maybe a Guyver 3 is hiding somewhere. It looks like only the control medal lights. not sure how useful it would be as a lamp, but sure would look badass on the desk

I just found this (and the jump bloopers (they looked extremely painful haha)) and it looks like it could be the introduction to a longer documentary. I'd love some light shed on this as well! lost unit, could you post the other bits and pieces you've found? like the interviews?

hehe, I've had very juvenile guyver dreams - cheesy stuff like scaring people i don't like by transforming into a Guyver in front of them, or maybe saving someone from an accident on the road or something. i want to say i've had at least one dream where i thought i was reading an actual chapter and something awesome happened, but of course it wasn't a real chapter. if i have had such a dream, i can't remember what happened. i may have written it down because i keep a dream journal, so if i find that particular dream, i'll post it

I've come back to take a look at the costume and I disagree! I'm with Ryuki on the shoulders. I think maybe you should focus more on rounding them off? At the moment your whole costume has more of an anime version of Guyver feel. if you were to reduce their size it would become a little more like the movies. That's not a bad thing, but you already have a whole suit that already looks like the anime version.

so this is now officially the designated "downtime period" that so often divides big events. I presume we'll be getting something interesting next month!

This looks really quirky, I love it! Kind of reminds me of the sort of cartoons you see on Adult Swim, though I assume it will be nothing like them haha Is it feature length?
