hahahaa i stopped watching the anime but i might just check out this episode after seeing those Gifs. i agree with Ryuki, this is the kind of over the top animation they use with the more important fight scenes in naruto (episode 133 of the original, naruto vs sasuke for example). the animation really is something to behold

it looks pretty good, but i may i suggest going around certain parts of his outline again thicker in certain areas? just to give it a nicer finish and outline. as it is it looks quite flat edit: here's a quick example of what i mean it makes the sprite seem more solid

aha, i don't know if they change it up in the anime, but from where you are Ryuki, they may as well re-name the show Sasuke Don't expect to see a lot of Naruto

looks like it's supposed to be a live action version of the gigantic guyver. i really like it

am i really the only one who finds the messages in each post a little... creepy?

fair points. perhaps i dislike it so much because i read the manga and really wanted to see what i had read animated. so i may have been impatient with it. i imagine someone who never read the manga would have a radically different view, and probably wouldn't even realise how much filler the show has. if you haven't read the manga, you probably won't mind until the filler leading up to the end of the series, where you are practically fed arc after arc (and if i remember right, mostly lasting only around 7 episodes).

ah, i agree with you here. i liked those episodes and scenes between arcs when things were at rest, i remember dragon ball had something very similar. i loved it. but the fillers are mostly just made up arcs with made up characters that really were only there to stop the anime from catching up with the manga. if you like one-off episodes of filler, then download episode 101. that one is pretty funny. i think 100 is recap filler, but has some good character interaction between two characters who you'll meet in the next few episodes you watch.

ha, i'm sure that's the one fight everyone who begins watching the series hopes to see because it's been keeping you wondering since the beginning of the series.

Ah, nice to see some detail on your avatar image! I like it and I imagine the hair must've taken a while to trace over, but it looks kind of flat compared to the rest I think... At least compared to the amount of shading on the face and how dark it is. Although i'm not sure how you would shade the hair... ah well

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)
