V Guyver

been catching up to naruto and bleach. As for new anime, finished Heroic Age. Was fantastic

Easy everyone, if Amika is late, it's no problem. He's got a life and we can stand to wait as long as need be, we're thankful for his help. As for Guyver Four, it's up to him what he wants to do with his material, we don't necessarily have to think he's being mean. In all consideration Guyver Four, it's just a matter of trying to make sure everyone is respected, people like him and your post could be interpreted in an unflattering manner. As such; By telling us you had the material, then relying it via your site instead of posting here as normally done, seemed selfish to some. Also your comment on Amika wasn't taken in good light. You can see how this could raise some eyebrows, right? Regardless, I don't think any of this is worth an argument, the points have been made should allow us an open mind and reject any silly anger here. I think we should just go one with the board as if nothing happened and just enjoy the latest chapter. Whatever help Guyver Four and Amika can provide will be and always shall be appreciated.

No wonder it's 4 pages less. He really went nuts with the shading for the fire. His character models always looked a bit weird, but he sure goes overboard on details for buildings and regular objects.

Darn, I was hoping the plot wouldn't go in this direction, though the part with Sasuke and Tobi is pretty good because they went an entire direction with those two than I predicted. Naruto's been down pretty much the path I predicted. The cool thing is that Naruto can remember names... well when he tries at least. It's still great, it's pretty suspenseful. Ryuiki was right about the whole thing with the sage and Naruto, but I really wish it went in another direction, it's a plot arc I was hoping wouldn't be used, not just because of a couple of cliche's, but because I don't want Naruto as a series to end if it progresses too far.

I have to agree with both of you on that, having no history with any other character in the fore front makes it sorta a weak plot twist, but then you look at Danzo and realize we didn't really give a crap about him until he started to die and showed us his back story. Heck even the shark man didn't get much a back plot until he started to apparently die, and then again later when he actually died we learned what kind of man he was at heart. If my theory is proven true, then we could expect a similar treatment. As for the jutsu of impure Resurrection, it was originally created by the first Hokage (ironic since it got used on him), then forbidden to be taught. Orochimaru had to figure it out. Now how he came about the soul transfer, I don't know, but it could be an original technique, or possibly taught by Madara... but I doubt that since Orochimaru didn't seem to know anything about him. But of course, none of this is certain, we are still missing to many key pieces. One thing I will say about Obito, his left eye was crushed and Kakashi had the other, and he was a fairly inexperienced Uchiha. I can imagine Madara going after more suitable Uchiha hosts should he wanted a body transfer. Also Madara has been revived at least once before he was revived again by impure world resurrection... that got me thinking. What if Izuna had really died, but was later revived by that same mysterious method, that could explain his lack of impediment from aging. But considering Danzo looked pretty damn young for his age. I'm willing to think that he never died to begin with. We'll see how things turn out, gotta give it to the mangaka, he knows how to make us think and dig mystery. Edit: I recalled how the similarities between the current Uchiha Brothers and the previous pair. Coincidence?

Well, let's look at Izuna's character, he and Madara were the two strongest Shinobi in the Uchiha clan in their time. He always followed and fought alongside Madara and when Madara began losing his eyesight, he gave Madara his own eyes. Tobi said he died fighting later despite blind. He and Madara had both unusually strong Chakra, were extremely skilled in the same arts, constantly competing with one another as brothers but fighting side by side as leaders of their clan. The chakra is an important clue too since Tobi attests to it having prolonged his life. Madara, as you can see had set out his "Moon's Eye" plan out since before he fought the first Hokage. He fought knowing he would die with the sole goal to gain the Hokage's DNA, and expected to have someone he ordered at that time to resurrect him. No one was following him at that time since he was driven out of Uchiha, leaf, and even Hidden Mist... that leaves Izuna, the only unconfirmed death, and don't believe Tobi's claim of him being dead. So it interests me that Madara died in that battle, who could be alive at that point to continue his plans and will? None other then the one person who's been his greatest ally in his entire career, Izuna, a person who's fate we are unaware of other then what Tobi has told Susuke. Only one other character Mentioned Izuna, and that was Itachi, the one person who knew Tobi better then anyone. Doesn't it make sense that someone who knew all of Madara's techniques, so close to Madara, in blood and friendship, mysterious, forgotten, and so willing and loyal to Madara, would be the culprit? In terms of Logic, and not just speculation, Izuna seems to be the most fitting character to be Tobi, and from a writers standpoint, an awesome twist. The author has really gone out of his way to throw fans off by having everyone had some resemblance to Tobi by name or appearance, and I can't think of a better way to do so then a character no one mentions or remembers other then Tobi. Tobi like I said seemed protective of Madara, and he quickly made sure to tell Susuke that Izuna willingly gave up the eyes and that they weren't forcefully plucked away like Itachi stated when talking about Izuna How could Obito be the one, unless Resurrected? Who would Obito know so many of the real Madara's techniques? Doesn't it make more sense thatIzuna,a person who fought alongside Madara would know them instead? Remember, Izuna trained with his brother, Obito never had that chance? From Obito's point of view, we saw him die or buried in that last page, while already on the verge of death. Also, he was born way before Madara made his plans which were decades before Obito's birth. If Obito was Tobi, he would had to of been Resurrected under some jutsu and convinced/forced to serve (Which I can't imagine him doing so) Madara... who was still dead at this point I think (though Madara had been revived at least once before from what read). Of course he could be a decedent of a Uchiha who follows Madara, but that's a bit complicated. I think Obito's name was meant to be an opposite mirror, showing contrast of personality between a good Uchiha and a bad one, while also serving as a character to throw off fans into ruckus trying to figure out Tobi's identity. Also, you can tell Tobi has been active for many years, Obito was just a kid when he died, there is just enough of a time frame for Obito to of possibly been resurrected, grow up and take over the Hidden Mist from the shadows, but from my point of view, Obito never seemed the type, never had the skill to pull that off, and him being resurrected seems... convoluted. Izuna on the other hand would of had ample time and training to pull that off with ease. Plus Obito was never mentioned to have thesamedegree of chakra as Madara or Izuna. You can take a look at Izuna's wiki. http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Izuna#cite_ref-d3_0-1 I started reading it, and it still fits. Also, I would disregard the coffin, as that was a narrative image, not an actual thing. You can reread the part in the manga when Tobi speaks about Izuna, note that Tobi is insistent that Izuna gave up his eyes willingly. Why would he even make a note of that. I think that story Itachi told Susuke was meant as a hint to reveal Tobi as Izuna. Also note the parallels to Madara and Izuna, to Itachi and Susuke. Why else would Tobi be so obsessed with Susuke despite his hatred of his own clan? Does he see a younger self in Susuke?

Hmm, Obito. I really don't see him as Tobi. I think the name was chosen on purpose to throw fans off. Izuna Uchiha is the likely culprit. I can imagine him as the only one loyal enough for his brother, and the fact that Tobi talked about him so much and defended Madara's actions in taking his eyes, stating that Izuna gave them willingly is of interest. Meanwhile in the rest of the manga, there is NO mention of Izuna other then as a fleeting name. Obito was confirmed killed and was too young to know Madara, but Izuna has the connections to all the big players before Kakashi and Naruto's generations of Shinobi, and no one mentioned him dead... other then Tobi. For someone so evil as Tobi, it makes you wonder just who would be so recklessly and unselfishly loyal to an equally even man like Madara Uchiha. It's been in my mind since I heard the name, but Tobi not being Madara has convinced me.

"I knew better than to trust Tuna Breath"

I agree, can't really say there is a right or wrong, thus far it's beyond our current limitations to pass a judgement on such a matter. someone who demands you see his point is likely being a bigot. I try avoiding that, to no avail at times. XD I'm not sure about physical relation to a body, but I can see the logic in that, but I also can note that energy can be amazingly condensed. A small atom divided is more powerful then a typical chemical or biological in a much larger scale. So I wonder about what role a body plays, I mean, if ghosts or souls are masses of spiritual energy that hasn't dissipated, then I think that, perhaps that are merely sticking to the form they are most familiar with instead of the other forms they could possibly take.

As a former catholic myself, I've dabbled in philosophical and scientific nature of life and life after death, and the universe itself. Currently, I follow a mixed number of concepts, Individualism being what I consider the closest to me. From what I've read, this has proven to be a very fantastic topic, Haven't seen this open minded and multi-viewpoint oriented format in a while. Usually I discuss this and people ramble on about what someone TOLD them or lecturing me about god and how any other idea is ridiculous, even when I discuss the parallels to religion. I always figured a human soul, if it exists is a form of energy. Since Energy cannot be created, nor destroyed. I can't but help think that it's something that fits the description. If you dwell further in, you can find more paralleled aspects. No one knows what happens to energy after it's use. Granted there is a process of converting it, even after we die, what reminds of our body is energy that is in essence broken down and given to the next life form or stored as a mineral, but what about the left overs, and the dispersed energy that isn't used up? it disperses, I have yet to be given an explanation nor read of one. I can only conclude two things, it's absorbed into other things like electrons are, or dispersed into subspace. Frankly, energy is something that's eternal, reusable, and if a soul is in existence, it can very well be the source of reincarnation. I've been attacked once for talking about how souls if in existence likely inhabit all life and not just humans, I can't limit the scope of what a soul, and much less energy is in the function of something alive, even if it's merely a philosophical quasi-science hypothesis. One of my cousins even mocked me when I said my plant passed away, Saying it "wasn't an animal". Will I digress, we humans function almost no different then other life, and just because we are sentient makes us no different.The person who attacked me uttered before the assaulted stated "That we were given thought by and are above animals. How can you say that?" Well, I told them we were no different that monkey's and Dog's. I got punched afterwards when I offered proof when I mentioned the acts of feral humans. He must of felt threatened in his believes and reacted as such. From what I've learned, Human learning ability, and conditioning is really all that separates us, when a human baby is separated from fellow human beings at birth and raised by wild animals, they develop as animals, where is the intelligence and problem solving skills they lack, even speech? Even when captured and returned to society, then barely learn anything or expand. Frankly, at that point, they are truly no different then monkey's in ability to learn because they never grew the neural pathways to understand speech, nor speak it.. so I can only deduce that if Human's have souls, then most certainly animals due. And denying the possibility of a soul in those beings, thus this means the concept shouldn't be applied to use. All this brings me back to the movie Gettysburg, I remember the scene as a kid when they were talking about the Divine Spark found in humans, but supposable not found in blacks, the Scottsman serving the American Union. Ahh, in fact I looked up and managed to find the whole darn thing for posterity.

no problem, you'll get back to it eventually. Besides, right now it's been cannon material, but it hasn't been that great. Seems that long absence of Cannon Material has degraded the action scenes even further. Or was the budget cut again? To be honest, I don't know, maybe it's because Naruto fillers have made me depressed after such a long tangent. But something's off, even with the cannon stuff back, I just can't seem to enjoy it as much despite the long wait. I find myself eager for the manga, but half heartedly watching the anime even after post filler. I'm hoping this chances soon for me. Wonder if anyone else has been having the same problem as me. The Dragon ball series and Naruto series are fairly similar, seeing them back to back, is sorta like adding sugar to a sugar cube, you'll get sick of it fast. Just ease yourself back in slowly and you wouldn't''t have any issues.

yeah, exactly, sorta captures that bit of horror the series had back in it's ova series days. I have to admit, the ear looks a bit different, and that it looks like Agito with a Guyver I unit. But heck, I'll be damned if this is not one of the most polished pieces I've yet to see.

Probably one of the best Guyver Fan Art I've seen. Too be honest this looks like a fantastic Hollywood movie cover more then the typical fanart. Source is here http://shanemadeart.blogspot.com/2010/08/guyver.html

It was a bit of the trade off there, kai Pretty much how DBZ should of been paced, but much cleaner and with a much better audio track (thanks to long time videogame composer for the franchise).

WB was one of the few shows willing to show normal guns in a cartoon over the last 25 years. Looks at Batman TAS. In comparison Spiderman and other shows could only use Laser light guns. Even GI Joe used real looking gusn but with lasers. XD

Though most folk end up doing it. You are better off telling her in an honest discussion, even though it's going to be weird. Don't bring it up out of the blue. Actually discuss it if you feel you are getting a little too serious. You both then have to set up bounds and limitations, or lack of them on what you can do in this relationship, at least for a while. After you've done that, you can then consider the law should her views show want in the area. Frankly, as you two get closer, it gets harder and harder resisting temptation, so the sooner you both discuss it, the better. If you decided to break the relationship because neither of you can contain yourselfs but want to preserbe the law or avoid STD's and Pregnancy, do so by all means. If you want to continue but stay at a distance go ahead, if you want to go at it, well better damn well keep it a secret and take precautions, but thoughtfull too. SHeesh, this topic has caused me a runabout with my own experiences in the manner, as a guy who's been trying to wait till marriage, I'll tell you it's not easy off the bat. Currently one gal keeps trying to umm... usually I don't talk about me in this particular situation, but I digress, it's ultra hard for the person who has to constantly turn down advances into that zone. As a result, it's frustration for the two, and most relationships fall apart because of that urge and want being unfulfilled, Masturbation does not count because it's completely different when your around the person, it's a different feeling altogether, so that desire is still going to be their despite your best efforts to limit it. The only way to subdue such a beast is to limit the amount of time you two are together, which helps cool things down.

probably not, very few composers today who do 80's hard rock sounds. Look at the horrid music we had in the new transformers. Not even a tenth as good as the original series. Still boggles the mind why they didn't even care to use LION's Hard Rock Version of the transformers theme. So as you can imagine, the thundercats may fall prey to the saem issues. I stopped eyeing thunder cats news years ago. After so many failed character concept designs and studio uptakes. I didn't think the remake would take of the ground. I'm serious, we had at least 15 different artists work on concept designs, and about 4 animation companies licensed then dropped by the WB over setting up production. Especially last year as the Warner Bros started shutting down more of their animation branch of the company.

Gotta love Spiderman's comments. They are always entertaining, very mcuh on par with deadpools. One of my favorite is. Mr.Sinister: What manner of a creature are you? Spiderman: What manner of a creature? At least I don't look like I washed my Face with Toothpaste this morning!

Hope you have an external drive to at least remove the data. I have to hard-drives on my PC, this should help to extend the life of my main one.

That's great man, you are watching some great anime right now. One Piece anime and Yu Yu are the only ones I haven't gotten around to see in their entirety. Keep watching Geass, it is indeed on par with Death Note but with giant robots. It does leave a lot of loose ends and I do get pissed off with how they dealt with some characters, but that just goes to show how much it makes you care about them. OH and to all Geass Fans, a sequel is in the works.

If I were the execs, I'd reboot a movie franchise that needed to be rebooted. The Fantastic Four, those movies were pure stinkers.

Yeah, clip also showcases how the actors in the movie all make better VA's then actual actors.

Notl iking the look so far. Dunno... I keep gettign that twilight feel so far. That's never a good feeling from a movie.

I've seen some weird ways to hunt, and even eat animals, like how some scorpions digest the creature they kill via sending enzymes into the victims body to break it down from the inside out before sucking back in the digested material. Others I've seen have torn assunder creatures into little diced limbs before eating each body part one by one. Then of course there are the weird hunting style of the Alphaeidae which is a species that practically shoots a fireball like Ken and Ryu from street fighter. Yet the Komodo is still unique that bacteria related bite is a step further then usual infections caused by hunters because the bacteria seem to have a simbiotic relationship with the Komodo. You can only wonder what the heck spawned that. Who knows, it may very well of been from a thick hide of prey it hunted or developed immunity to poison or some other ability, and one group of Komodo may of evolved into the current species via some factor related to these. For al lwe know, it may of been digestive aliva like Mirabilis suggest. Why not? 20% of the food we eat is already partially digested just by siliva and chewing which makes me wonder just what exactly promoted this feature in the Komodo.
