When was the last time Guyver got a Shonen Ace cover? Guyver II F's introduction? Despite being one of it's most long running series, I can't imagine Guyver is one of Aces' "top" series, so a cover dedicated to it for its return would be quite a pleasant surprise indeed!

I didn't realize they changed the dialog for the dub, does Sho comment on the control medal in the JP version? I never really thought too much about it, but I suppose that scene does play out a bit oddly. I always assumed that the zoom in on his fake CM was for the audience and Sho was also aware but was now just aware of his blade breaking... But I guess that doesn't really make any sense since his CM is clearly fake from the beginning. Interesting!

I don't think it's the same one - the shapes of the legs are radically different and other smaller details and shapes don't add up, like the 'belt'-like area around the gravity orb. what publication are those scans from?

Woah, these are way beyond all expectations. It's great to see Guyver get such treatment. Really dig how they decided to take a more realistic musculature route with the tendrils under the armour too. They do look pretty huge though

Doing God's work lost unit! Thanks a lot man. Really looking forward to seeing the artwork.

A lot of people forget that the Draglord's silhouette appears in volume 9 during X-Day despite not appearing fully until volume 24 - that means he had planned Kahn's transformation over 10 years before he revealed it! It certainly seems like he plans some things meticulously, though certain others may be a little improvised - I reckon the briefness of the most recent Zoalord fights were last-ish minute decisions. But I imagine (or just hope?!) whatever he has in store for Galenos will have been decades in the making, as that's a character he has not even shown in years.

How big is the book? Also lost unit, you could try slipping a blank sheet of paper behind the page you're scanning? It won't help much with what's overleaf, but the page before should get blocked out.

I've always wondered how these end up in the wild - do people that worked on the series sell them on because they were allowed to keep them/they photocopied extras? Anyway, looking forward to seeing your scans lost unit! And for you to get some stuff on theguyver.net Sully!

Hopefully not a big recap chapter... Though he's been gracious enough to spare us from one of those for quite some years. (Although to be honest it's been so long I would probably need one)

Heh, the sonic buster is on the wrong side of his face because you posted the Viz version! They mirrored the images so it would read left to right The chin spike is definitely different though

Regardless, I'd really love to get a look at that Guyver 0 render. Looks insanely cool. Great to see a solid reference to the manga's plot in these products.

Have to agree with Unit G on the cover art. I suppose if I can't enjoy the quality of the art, I at least like what it represents - that they were willing to commission an artist to do some brand new artwork for the film.

Like the sound of that little booklet. I'm surprised they've gone through this much effort for this film though. You'd think they'd just skip straight to Dark Hero. I can only hope that when they eventually release that on blu ray they give it similar treatment.

Great job man! It really is slick. And congrats on getting featured on the Guyver blu ray! How was it shown? What sort of extras does it have?

Blimey, that thread of Jess' talking about a 'new guyver form' is surreal to read. I wasn't part of the GB when it first started out (I think I joined around 2007) but to think it was all 12 years ago.

Welcome aboard sonny! We haven't had a new mod in ages. Power in numbers though

Man, Malmot looks creepy! In a good way though, I like it a lot. Also great pain job on the Unit case, the chrome effect works well.

I don't think they would do something as risky as restricting access to the new chapter to just the people who are willing to drop a load of money on figmas. That doesn't mean they might not ever release a figure with a tankobon again though, as they did with book 21.

I'm frustrated with Takaya's output as well but I think calling him lazy is a bit far. He put out an ad requesting an assistant a while ago ( a position that seems unlikely to have been filled), and that suggests to me that he is aware of his small output and wants to remedy it. Guyver is a complex manga to draw - I'm sure Takaya regrets designing such difficult to draw characters, and the fact that he's around 50 now must mean that he is getting pretty tired. This series is hard to maintain an itnerest in when we're drip fed the story, but I'm trying to appreciate how difficult it must be to produce. That said, I do have the utmost confidence that Takaya knows where it's going - Draglord's silhouette was seen in volume 11, a whopping 10~ years before it made it's actual appearance. There's no way he's winging it to the end.

Cool stuff JEZ0! Just wondering what those chinese books are before the doujins? Are they Chinese novelizations? Same with the big books after the large collected volumes? (These ones: http://i68.tinypic.com/2j2vpj5.jpg )

I remember that level of character development being advertised quite a lot as the series was airing as a selling point, along with the closeness to the manga of course. I didn't realise that the scene with Mizuki wasn't in the manga. Do you mean the bit where Murakami is lying in the hospital bed with Odagiri in the room?

I think it's part of the BFW collection, but it was super limited release. Came in a big cardboard box. Don't quote me on that though.

That's interesting, is the left image from Hades Project Zeorymer? And I did always want to know the story behind the sword, though I assume it was just Takaya having a bit of fun

Haha, what on earth is that game?! Did you really find that in a shop?

Looks like a general thing with Exceed transformations is that yellow turns into orange/red! Pretty neat.
