goodstuff Ryuki. thanks Lost Unit!

I'm currently playing Megaman X Command Mission for the first time after finding it and X8 second hand for fairly cheap. For those that don't know Megaman X Command Mission is actually a turn-based RPG game as opposed to a side-scrolling action. It's actually pretty fun and I'm enjoying it loads. I don't know if it's because it has megaman tacked on since i'm not really into those types of games (bar chrono trigger, that is one of my favourite games of all time).

This wouldn't work anymore, guyver manga scans are a lot more easier to access than they were back then.

Guyot has gray hair in the manga!? Well I'll be damned. durendal, I always felt the same about "Kablarl", I really liked the sickly sound it had, haha. And while Yentsui's name has been resolved, they have conflicting spellings for Jabir, calling him both Hayyan and Hiyern! Oh dear. also page 27 of booklet 2 appears to be corrupt. anyway, thanks for the scans lost unit!

This would be awesome!! edit: quotes not working?

Ooh, I am super jealous of that volume 21!! it looks so nice. thanks for the pics of it. congrats on bagging that man, how much did it cost you?

Just before the day is up here in the UK, MERRY CHRISTMAS! you guys will always be my favourite forum community

Ah, so she's still alive! that's good to know. i'll keep an eye on her dA from now on.

oh wow, this is a blast from the past. these are Ladena's chibis! she did some great drawings. it's a shame she just sort of disappeared, even from deviantart. anyway, i did some googling and found an album of all the drawings she posted (i wonder who backed all these up) https://picasaweb.google.com/cnguyver7/Guyver_net_art17Ladena

I'm afraid I don't have the funds. Good luck getting it sold man

oops, it said your item listing had ended so i just assumed someone had bought it. my bad

Congrats on getting 60 quid for the novel! I almost forgot I had the other two. If i had the money i woulda shot for yours just to get a complete collection. Did I buy the other two novels from you? Or was it someone else? they came with the 12-part OST and a gashapon.

Those Guyver legos are awesome! I had these really chunky legos when I was small. They were all the same shapes and stuff in regular lego, just really big. I made buildings and stuff. I think they were Mega Bloks, but I'm not too sure.

Nostalgic to the max. I remember following that tutorial way back when. thanks for posting it ryuki i'm gonna go bung it in the links thread that's stickied.

I know what you mean about how you feel regarding Sho losing the ability to transform. i think it is similar to Guyver II and him dying in the first volume - Takaya had no idea how long the manga was going to go, so he probably wanted to include all these really interesting concepts and ideas he had as soon as possible. And yeah, I really can't imagine how excruciating it must have been enduring the waits we have today for those earlier volumes. Juicy stuff happened back then! We take for granted that it all happened long before any of us even knew what Guyver was. And one thing I've always found noteworthy about this book - There's a guy in Takeshiro wearing a McGyver shirt! Always found that pretty funny. I think this volume also has a guy in an Ultraman mask? Though that may have been a recurring thing... I can't remember.

Those must be from the 2005 series because they have the Oriental Light & Magic logo up there at the top. those look pretty interesting. a shame we never got more from whoever posted them

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.
