Bio-Boosted Dude

I have to say, the first time I saw the trailer I was absolutely appalled by the re-designs. And I still am. They are hideous. Sabrewulf looks like Booster from Jingle All The Way. When I saw gameplay of Glacius though, he did look like quite a fun character to play as. Despite his horrid re-design, he probably will be quite enjoyable to use (though perhaps a little too different from his original incarnation for my taste). I feel like you really have to go into this game without the previous versions in mind which makes no sense to me. I am terrified to see what they did to Fulgore, who was my favourite. My opinion probably doesn't matter that much since I won't be getting an XBone, but maybe at some point in the future I will get a chance to somehow play this game.

Ah, I take back what I said a long time ago about being disappointed with Val Well now that we have the flashback and backstory explained and outta the way, let's hope next chapter we get updates on the crew

Nice one. I think the bright red border and the fact that they are constantly static when you scroll up and down makes them hard to not notice. But I guess time will tell

Late to the party here, but yes I also remember being very disappointed at seeing Team 5 in the Opening of Act 2 and not seeing them themselves. When I later read the manga/watched the TV series, I also just assumed that was a way for the creators to sort of save themselves by suggesting they could be brought back if a third act was ever made. Of course, Guyot also suggests this heavily. Now that I really think about it, they set themselves up quite well. If Episode 13 is Guyot's attack on the gang, Episode 14 could have potentially been the re-introduction of Team 5 and Aptom's attack on them. Or they could even have been introduced at the end of Episode 13, much like they were at the end of Episode 3. That fits nicely as a throwback actually! Guyver III could probably say he found Sho and Mizuki in the woods through all that telepathy malarky the Guyvers seemed to have in the OVA, with no need for the whole Takeshiro thing to happen again What I really liked about the OVA was that each episode had a contained section of the plot and covered its own specific battle/moment of the story. So we would've been in store for a very nice OVA.

Neat, you went for more anime-style colours? It's an interesting take

Had a look through and this stuff is awesome! It really makes it clear why all the OOC characters look so distinct compared to the other adaptations - all the characters' proportions are different. I could never really pinpoint why they looked so different before. On the first page of Guyver I's designs, there seems to be a front and profile sketch from Takaya, but in the next page there are sketchs from the OOC artist that make him look totally different. Of course some characters simply have slight changes to their designs, such as Gregole and his feet. Also interesting how they were gonna use a slight variation of the original Guyver II design. Anyway, thanks again for this Matt, it's great!

I guess you have pretty strong reasoning behind it Ryuki. I can appreciate your frustration with how hard it is to get these things out there and if you feel this is the best way then you probably know best. At the end of the day, it is simply an aesthetic distraction, it doesn't really hinder my reading of the board. But I will suggest one thing: moving the "Search Wiki" button to the top so that there is no unsightly gap between the bottom two buttons

Thanks a lot for these Matt! I'm gonna have an eager peruse through the images a little later

Yeah, they have a few pictures each. I think maybe 4 or 5 in the whole book, all done by the same artist. I can try and get pictures of them at some point in the future if you guys want. I have the first two novels

Which DVD box is that? The one you got with volume 2?Also very classy display guyverfan. I'm sure in 100 years when people discover the ancient treasure that was Guyver manga, they will have all the volumes set up like that in a museum hehe

It's from the first novel I believe. I definitely have that image in a book somewhere and I believe it is the first novel.<br />I would go check to make sure, but all my guyver manga and stuff is stored in a closet somewhere while i re-do my room.

I think perhaps the only real disappointment is the fact that she isn't an original design or character, right down to the name. That does support your theory of her being just an insert. But like Ryuki said, she is interesting to see! I don't mind her at all.

Yeah, I watched the scene again and it's face looks squid-like. With the vertical mouth it reminds me a bit of Kadan, so maybe these designs were more influential than we might've thought

That purple one actually looks really cool, but definitely not very Zoanoid-like. There's a clear difference between what Takaya designed and what was designed by the OVA team. Including the brown Enzyme, they all seem to have very generic muscular bodies

Didn't he say at some point he regretted killing off Lisker so early? Maybe this is how he'll make up for it. I imagine this flashback lasting several chapters

I would think maybe he's a bit short? But perhaps having him too tall wouldn't work from a gameplay perspective.<br />Anyway, you really are getting good dude!

I'm sure you can find the whole thing on youtube very easily! It's a great watch all the way through. Very touching, considering it's a zero dialogue movie

Anyone here a Daft Punk fan? Their new album is available to stream on iTunes starting from today! http://www.itunes.com/daftpunk I'm a huge Daft Punk fan so I may be a little (read: very) biased but I'm finding it incredible. I'm on my second listen right now. Some of the tracks are so out there and un-Daft Punk (or at least unexpected from what we've come to know). The Giorgio Moroder and Paul Williams collaborative tracks are just amazing - I love lengthy tracks! The Paul Williams track, "Touch", is appropriately enough, very touching. And the album version of Get Lucky is so much more interesting than the single version, including a longer guitar solo from Nile Rodgers. Hopefully I'm not the only one on this board hyped to hell and back over this

Great colouring- looks like something just outta the anime! You did a really fine job with the control medal shine too. Only thing i would suggest is fixing the neck, it's awfully thin!

Oh no, a break next month!? How ever will we cope? I'm guessing that an artificial bio-booster such as Val is the same deal as a proto-type Zoalord from what this chapter shows. Although hopefully Takaya will hold off on killing this Guyver II prematurely again. Thanks a lot for the scanlation guys.

Aw man, I'm pretty disappointed Developments!

Well here's a couple nice questions I can come up with: Were you a fan of Guyver before acting in Dark Hero? What did you think of the first Guyver film? Did its quality make you more confident in your acting in the sequel? Or did it make you nervous about starring in the sequel to a film that was panned? Would you be willing to be involved in a future Guyver film, an acting position or otherwise?

Not me I'm afraid! Only ever owned Japanese books and a Viz novel

Yeah, I remember that avatar and signature very well! Could never forget Jack Spicer gracing this place. You couldn't have been here too long ago, I'm surprised you were pruned. Oh well, welcome back at any rate!
