Oh, the Zabuza arc of Naruto is great. The Kunai in the mouth bit really is powerful and it's been a while, but I remember it being pretty beautifully animated. Other episodes with amazing animation are 133 and 30 I think? The drawing styles are a lot simpler, but I suppose the animation makes up for it. I think I read they handed it off to a Korean group of animators or something. No idea if there's any truth to it, but certainly those episodes are entertaining to watch, just for the quality of animation. And Naruto and fillers is a mess. don't bother with the fillers, they are actually painful to watch. The only one worth watching is episode 101, it's pretty funny but is a single episode story. Episodes 140-220 is just filler after filler. the end of 139 and the last half of 220 follow the manga. Episode 220 is half filler, half canon. 220 is the end of the "original" Naruto (Think of it like Dragon Ball and DBZ. Shippuuden is "Naruto Z"). Then you'll have to start watching from Shippuuden episode 1. But it got pretty drenn when whoever it is directing the Shippuuden anime thought it would be a good idea to re arrange events in the manga and mix them in with filler plots as well, making you miss canon sections if you try to skip the filler episodes. (maybe after going through so many episodes of filler towards the end of Naruto before I gave up makes me harsh, but i really smegging hate filler). I think it was around episode 55 or something I stopped watching Shippuuden because it was just too much bullshit. The manga... well it's interesting that's for sure. I don't know if i just personally feel Naruto has run it's course but it's not doing it anymore. certain plots and backstories are so damn convoluted you just accept the nonsense that their talking about in hopes that they will finally advance the story. Naruto was pretty damn awesome at the beginning, and remained awesome for a long time but I think Kishimoto needs to stop before he runs himself further into the ground. i'm going to go watch episode 133 because goddamn that episode is so good. i want anyone who starts watching naruto to get up to that point so they can see the peak of the series. have fun man! edit: oh god i wrote so much

Wow, i really like that Sho transformation. And I love the "Bent" shirt haha. I don't think Takaya knew what it was slang for... hehe. at least here in England

i fixed up the engrish-ness of durendal's translated part, i hope it's okay one line however i don't understand- "The role of the villain having suceeded in conquering the world, with a story having a special mention, in which depicts a tall building in Washinton DC being destroyed 2 years prior to the repeated Terrorist Occurence in America." i can figure out what it's trying to say with regards to X-Day and such, but i'm not sure what the point is of mentioning a relation to 9/11 (i hope im not being ignorant in assuming that's what its talking about) and what i assume is the destruction of Cloud Gate. would you call that a charm of the story? as that is what the paragraph is focusing on..

wow, you guys have been very busy i see. i've had a look around the guyver pages and im impressed! the main guyver page seems to be quite engrish though, i'll go through it later if that's okay. Also the beginning paragraph, "guyver is a armour system that..." wouldn't that work better in the synopsis bit? the rest of the opening is more of an overview of the series.

awfully late, but thanks so much for the interview. you have just provided us with some of the most important guyver information out there!

i really dig the new drawings man, i like the pose you've given to the one on the middle at the bottom and to repeat what Ryuki said, ditch the lined paper PLEASE

I really like the side view of the one based on Guyver 3! And the last one reminds me of Guyver 2. They're all really good.

Wow, very impressive man! The colouring does look very similar to the TV series, good job on that front where can we see the first page?

goodstuff man just a shame that the monthly scans don't provide very nice colouring material :-/

hey ryuki, would you mind if i had a copy of the vector just to do some colour work for fun?

After many HDD formats, here's my new desktop. Looking at the first post in this thread, my desktop really was messy... Although I kinda miss it. but oh well

Wow, it is really nice and vectored, it looks so slick. Seems like a nice throwback to that really old wallpaper you did using that same image of Imakarum

I'm guessing that would be Imakarum? He's way overdue... unless they're going to surprise us with something.

i decided to use the tutorial to trace over chikorita here's the original, traced lines only, and coloured! the lines aren't perfect and look a little rushed in some areas, but not bad for a practice/mess-about

Ryuki thank you so much for this! i only just got the time to sit down and now start playing with the pen tool properly now! i didn't know it was that simple. i'll post what i come up with if it's presentable thanks again!

Got really interesting, and it's great to see the characters explained. But I think this is the most interesting part of that section of the interview. It really helps give Tetsuro even more purpose, and now when I see him in the manga I'll definitely have a different view on him. I remember a while back we theorised that Aso and Toki were to take on this job, but now to know that Takaya sees it with Tetty just makes it that much more interesting. (granted, they could've swapped roles after their introduction, but whatever)

wow, thank you so much! this is amazing stuff! and very interesting indeed...

I'm in love with the messy one. It just looks so good. It has the old Ukiyo-e or sumi-e feel to it. I think it makes it fairly obvious what the site is about, Japan. The clean version doesn't quite do that.

i believe she is korean. and she is awesome indeed.

the atmosphere you created is amazing You brought so much life to the wallpaper. how long does lineart often take you to re-trace? I imagine tracing guyver lineart is far more tedious than the naruto lineart i've seen from you.

Thanks!

wow, Casshern is awesome can you post the original please?

Amazing I can't imagine how boring the lineart must've been to do, but thanks for posting it as well It's always nice to see some of your work every now and then, I hope you can keep posting some stuff

ahahaha, i cannot wait to see this. i've been following it for quite some time now, and even though i know it will more than likely be terrible i'm going to see it as soon as it comes out in cinemas! the fanboy in me got really happy when he started saying "kamehameha", even though i know this is just a bastardization of the manga

I heard about this some time ago as well, it's great news! I'm really happy to hear that it's getting more anime attention, since it's a shame that a manga still on going has no anime to compliment it. i would love it if it followed the manga directly, since to be honest, i could never really be bothered to read the manga. although i heard it was a lot better than the anime.
