Bio-Boosted Dude

Yeah this sudden peace between Sho and Agito is a bit abrupt. I can appreciate that some pretty serious drenn has happened, but I feel as though we have been cheated out of seeing the true conclusion to Sho and Agito's fight. We still don't even know what data was transferred to Agito's control metal. Takaya is quite guilty of just dropping things like this, regardless of whether he gets into it later. At any rate, Takaya's doing some serious foreshadowing of Shizu's death.

You've done up the front page and redone the forum skin, I think a change makes everything feel a little more fresh and could potentially make the community a little more active. It's at least one step in the right direction ryuki.

Wow, that Exceed sketch looks awesome! I would definitely love to see you develop it! I don't know about bubblegum crisis but the other wallpaper also looks interesting. You should work into them man.

I presume that Viz didn't have the gun inscription because the whole image is flopped. Though if i remember right, I think they kept Sho's "Bent" shirt the right way round. I seem to recall pointing it out in another thread around here. Also, I'm not entirely sure i've read this chapter. books 2-5ish are a bit of a grey area for me so i might give them a read so i can keep up with your threads now. though i do remember flipping through my japanese copies and seeing Murakami's puny revolver and being disappointed after watching his Max Factory Zoanoid Buster in the OVA.

Yeah i was a little surprised by that as well. But didn't Sho and co. have a little memorial for him as well at the mansion? Thank you for sharing the chapter with us, Guyver Four!

He's probably fairly easy to draw. He's certainly not a very "cool"-looking zoanoid. Not nowadays at least. Of the very few designs throughout the guyver manga that look dated, Ramotith certainly stands out. Actually maybe Ramotith IS the only dated design, in my opinion. Not that it looks bad, but if Guyver were created today, Ramotith probably wouldn't look the way it does.

Well not since Waferdanos died, that's for sure

how kind! don't worry about it though dude, i'm not that bothered about them and i'm sure you appreciate them more than i would. i've left the books alone the past couple years, i haven't really had time to do the odd flip through them.

Wow! That was great! Sho sounded so perfect. the voice effects were great and it sounded very modern. I was expecting voices and recording in the style of the original but you all really brought it up to the present. Props on that. My only nitpick in terms of voices was the monotony of Valcuria's. It wasn't until the fight that I really felt engaged by her. And using music from other guyver adaptations was a little strange, but i don't think it detracted from the experience. i do love the other guyver soundtracks. again, great work!!

Do most people in Japan throw them away after buying the book? I bought some japanese naruto books a long while back and they had them, so i kept them, but i can imagine people in japan being less precious about them and considering them little advertising pamphlets of little interest. Also the Guyver books I bought off you didn't have them (nor the postcards, i assume you kept them for yourself you cheapskate!! ) so did you throw them away?

Haha, Christopher Nolan, eh? I'm not sure how well he would handle a sci-fi character like Guyver. He could potentially bring it down to earth like he did with Batman, but Batman was already pretty tame compared to something like Guyver. Man of Steel will be interesting to see because of a similar reason. Also I wouldn't be too keen on the idea of Guyver becoming a giant action hollywood blockbuster type movie. It's tricky.

is the artwork of Val from the cover leaflet new? I'm quite surprised, those are usually just an image of the obscured tankobon cover with some writing on it, but that looks quite nice. I always wonder what we miss out on because we rarely see them. Anyone that buys the books can let us know if they ever have any nice images on them?

Looks like it was well recieved! Nice going man

You know, i've also always been a little unsure about where the name "Advents" came from. Reading your explanation ryuki, i prefer the term we have used much more to "Creators". it makes them sound a lot more god-like, which is appropriate all things considered. "descended ones" also has similar effect. also i sort of agree with dave with this one, this chapter is interesting, but quite bare bones. There's only so much you can do on paper though. The OVA did a good job of filling it out though.

I believe it was the cover to a chapter? We also got a small gray scale preview on a recent chapter title page. A nice image, although I don't recall Apollon featuring that heavily in the last 10 or so chapters anyway

much nicer colours now and i zoomed out and i can see what you're doing now. i hadn't noticed that the design went high enough to go behind the main content box before (maybe it was the colours), but now it makes more sense.

You know, i really like that gradiant you have at the bottom of the page. was your intention to have it behind the main box, or is it supposed to be all the way at the bottom like that? it might make it a little less garish than orange on bright blue

I don't think it's quite as sleek a job as what you've done with this place or taaherbs. i think it largely has to do with the bright colours which feel a little CBeebies. Perhaps its also the over-abundance of century gothic and large text for the main body. these are the things that stick out to me immediately

hey alkanfel, that strip was quite nice! I liked it. some good choice of alkanphel images

I come here everyday although I don't necessarily post (as i'm sure is obvious). There's another forum i lurk which i used to be an active member but their community just turned to drenn. lots of immaturity, elitism, all that jazz. so i've stopped posting there completely and use the site for news. i probably use facebook more than i should, or at least more than i like to admit. it's a time killer. youtube is almost always open for music or anything i feel like watching at a moment's notice. i spend a lot of time on a certain image board to kill time and for some quick laughs. this also usually delves into me searching something else that i've just seen for more information. Usually I'll find some artwork or a painting or something that I really like and I'll be thrown into google image search and just start looking at art online. good fun when i think about it, the number of websites i browse is very small.

I imagine that if we were waiting around during its original serialization, we probably wouldn't have expected more than 6 chapters either. We probably would've expected something conclusive, and for something like Sho's death to happen at the end of the 'penultimate' chapter, would probably just re-affirm how short its original intended serialization would be. aint it a good thing that it did carry on though!

I've always found it a very peculiar. I'm astounded that he has managed to post for so long in a single thread. I am also a little curious as to why he DOES only post in that single thread. What attracted him to do this at Japan-Legend in particular. All very peculiar. I don't have a problem with it per se. I can fully understand where Young is coming from when he says he finds it a little creepy. But I'm sure there is no malicious intent and there isn't really any evidence that there will so we may as well leave it as is. I never thought of the 'quotes' in each post in respect to the poll options though. Thinking of them as parodies of anything now, I am quite amused, hehe. anyway as durendal said, he's an active member on the forum. Why cripple our numbers?

What a shame that this chapter only re-affirmed what we figured out last month, that they're on Silha. I suppose I can be thankful that he only spent a few pages recounting the history of the Advents' first arrival though.

I like the colouring of the redhead with the heart tattoo. very clean and suited to the style of the line art.

Ah book 8 looks really nice now. Well done GuyverAlpha! Looking forward to the rest
