Bio-Boosted Dude

It's only fair for me to update everyone that I have been incredibly busy these past few months and haven't had a chance to work on volume 30. I might be able to get it done around christmas time when I'm less busy, but I suppose if anyone wanted to volunteer to do it before then they would be welcome to. Sorry guys. Can't believe I haven't posted on here since September.

Woah, this is really unexpected!! Pretty shocked they would have even considered releasing this. Gotta admit the suit is nice to see in HD. I would absolutely love it if Dark Hero got this same treatment, I would 100% buy it. I assume whatever company is doing this would potentially be able to get the same rights for the sequel.

Here ya go!

Heh, looks very uncomfortable and the back is a little unsightly. Must be a different one to the costume that was used to promote the TV series, which makes me wonder how many of these guyver costumes exist in Japan.

He could potentially add a bunch of new pages - after all, wasn't this volume particularly bad with the sub 12-page chapters?

Whereabouts in London are you? I'm tight on money at the moment, these past couple weeks have been a doozey especially, but I have always been interested in getting the Viz versions of Guyver. Thing is, I'm looking at ebay, and have found these books for £30+. I can't afford that but if that is what these things are selling for I would not be willing to rob you of a better sale. I would have thought around ~£10ish each would be a fair price. At any rate, if you can't sell these by the end of the summer time, I might be interested.

Is Guyot spelt "Guyot" in the master file? Because it's been a while since I watched the tv series but i remember them pronouncing it "Geeoh" or something odd like that.

Dead Zone, Tree of Might and Fusion Reborn are great!!! I think I enjoyed Bardock when I watched it but it's been so long since I saw it. Waferdanos, I was also pretty hot on the Super Saiyan God design, I loved the slimmed down look they gave Goku, so I do hope it shows up in this next film

I think it's just fanart from an obscure website

From one of the websites posted on the previous page: http://www.taghobby.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/max141105.jpg Does the alternate chest part have narrower pecs or is that just me? Interesting to say the least, the BFC didn't have anything like this!

While it is nice that DBZ is still alive and kicking, I am skeptical towards how good this movie will be. I thought BoG was pretty bad - really awkwardly paced and a bit silly really. But to be honest this is what a lot of DBZ films suffer from. I tend to just stick to loving the tv series. Which reminds me that I'm a few weeks behind Kai. I am really interested to see who this person is that someone wants to revive though and whether it's someone from the tv series.

Very nice double page spread and scenario in this chapter with the building under construction . This chase would be incredible to see animated.

Are Agito and Shizu a couple? I don't think that's ever been established. I doubt Agito sees her like that. Agito cares for her I'm sure, but Shizu looks at Agito more as a master and Agito to Shizu as a battle-reliable partner

Something that bothers me about this figure that was also a problem with the BFC- is that extra bit under the Megasmasher plates necessary? I know it gives the illusion that also the top two abs are moving along with the rest of the upper torso, but could they simply have just left that extra bit out? Have it articulate right beneath the smasher? I remember right around the time the BFC line was in full swing a lot of people were making fan art of Guyver 1 using the BFC model as a reference and erroneously gave him another set of "half-abs". I tried to photoshop it out and then it just makes the top two abs look way too long. I wonder why they couldn't either bring the megasmasher plates down/make them larger, or fix the proportions of the abs.

I assume it was my comment about that interesting image you posted of Sean and Sho in the other thread that sparked you to ask this? What I mean by "looks like Takaya's style" is the line quality, the amount of subtelty used in the cross hatching to suggest hape/form (see: Guyver's shoulder pads), the angles of all the features of the Guyver's helmet, the intensity/suggestion of tendrils under the Guyver armour, the toning of shiny orb-like objects, the proportions (!! this is a big one)... Of course, Takaya's human characters are also done in a very unique, identifiable way. It's definitely changed in the last 30 years if you look back at his earlier works, but proportions play a big part in identifying this aspect of his work. Yuki hit the nail on the head about the concise and clear nature of his drawn action. Towards the end of my time spent reading Naruto, I remember barely being able to tell what was going on in the fights. Takaya's fights may be quite short and contain few actions by either adversary, but at least you will always know what the other is doing/has done.

Wow, that's awesome. Looks like Takaya's art. Where were you browsing lost unit?

I adore elephants. I may or may not post more pictures of elephants. I've got a cat too.

Well the CM might be able to keep the brain alive for a bit after a beheading, but the fact that it's been separated from the boosting organism on the back makes me wonder how it would be able to call the guyver from the boost dimension. Unless it can communicate with that organism telepathically, it's hard to see how the guyver would be able to save the host and itself.

Righto! Also I like your character descriptions for various characters - Agito Makashima. We DONT LIKE HIM. I AGREE!

What's the unit of measurement for the strength chart? And are figures present in the data files or is this based on average human strength and then the knowledge that certain Zoanoids' strength = a certain number of humans' strength?

I don't think they would ever need to discontinue use of it. It had a very casual use to the Creators, wearing it for everyday tasks and such. I don't see what they could possibly upgrade about it since they seemed like a group of people who didn't get their hands dirty themselves. If they needed to do something that the current state of the Unit didn't allow, they would probably engineer a creature to do that work for them. I'm beginning to think that maybe Apollon isn't actually an Advent, but a more advanced creation of theirs sent to do some wet work. Over the million of years since visiting Earth, they created another Alkanphel with more advanced zoacrystal technology. Or perhaps that armour is the source of his power. I think the Advents probably pushed the Guyver unit as far as it needed to go. In regards to improving it to allow bio-boosted humans to be controlled, I would say that problem is more on the human end of things. Not a problem with the unit itself.

did we have a count thread on the GB? This is eerily familiar

Ah, the Gigantic shows up again eh. This is good. Finally things are picking up a bit. I don't see Sho and Apollon fighting just yet, Sho will chase him around for a bit longer while Apollon chases Guyot. I'm not really sure that Sho has much of a chance against him anyway. I'm finding the dynamic of the situation here very interesting. Obviously we don't know Apollon's intentions yet, but I'm thinking he could possibly be working to achieve something in Sho's favour. And well, even though we don't know what Guyot is quite up, it's probably nothing good for Sho and the gang anyway so Apollon's taking care of Guyot might still help indirectly. Nothing that Apollon has done so far suggests he is going to act hostile towards Sho any time soon.

Sigh, I don't have a whole lot of faith in this. I wish they would just lay it to rest. T3 was already bad, but at least SCC made up for it by replacing it in the timeline and being a pretty good series. I will always consider the SCC storyline as the direction the timeline took. I never watched Salvation (and never plan to) because apparently it was awful and I really don't want to see the franchise tarnished. I can't find any sources on what the plot will be about but Simmons is saying it's a "re-imagining"? Whatever that means. Maybe seeing Arnie in action as a Terminator again will make it worth watching, but I really feel like the first two films were so perfect it's a shame where the series has gone. I'd rather they just renewed SCC for a third season because that was a brutal ending to leave the watchers with.

I got photos of this book. Can't remember who uploaded them, but it was someone on this forum. Really good book. Guyver OOC.zip
