The messageboard is now running on the latest PHPBB and has being restored and updated. Next weekend I look to customising a little and getting back some of the old WG smiles etc to make it feel a bit more like home.

The messageboard is back up and running on the new hosting site Sorry it took awhile but this can be very ANNOYING stuff to do!.

The messageboard is back up and running

Sign... I know people like free stuff but it's not like Guyver is widely available. I'm hoping the current scans keep off the webs and basically force people to buy the content. Or at worse case if another group of Guyver fans get together to translate I'll eat an extra tacochips to get over the shock of there being more fans out there that can bother to put in the work you guys do.

Wow! Very impressive work by whoever done that. Whoever it was ran http://slavagedichartist.ru/ , but it's down at the mo.

Please Mr Takaya make longer chapters again. I hope he's not ill / having issues that prevent him from writing more. But either way I'd like to have seen more from him.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SeeYouInHell They basically know things are coming to an end and view both them self and the Guyver to the be damned to Hell. That they will meet again were they will still battle.

It's being ages!

Ok lets be frank here. Lately real life has being a bit of a kicker. My house has gone through huge changes and basically I can't remember a weekend when I didn't spend at least one of the days either working for someone else or needing to do work like painting walls, moving kit around and getting my attic converted. Or last Sunday spending 8 hours fighting with my nephews laptop trying to get his hard drive back to life as the silly bastard doesn't understand the term backup! Basically time for the site has being non existent. Things are finally though getting together the way I want. This weekend marks an important change, 1and1 will no longer be hosting the website and I need to movie the site to save money. It's re-awakened my interest in a) updating the site and finishing off the new template for WG-Fic's side of the site. b) changing and redesigning Stars Guyver Page into something that supports this fiction better and explains whats what in the official Guyver world and finally c) getting back to fic writing. In regards to c)... the current Guyver official storyline kinda floored me. Alkanphel (as we spell his name thanks to Viz!) is sat on the floor of a house playing computer games with the Sagawa kids.... It's not an event I can ever imagine happening. So while I have changed things around in my story to explain the world of the Warrior Guyver and why things are different in this fan-fic to the official story basically there is something important to understand about the current main "villain" in my story line. Now this won't stop me writing and continuing my story, basically if anything it's part of the reason I'm back as Guyver is suddenly interesting again. This though has to come secondary to getting the website working properly again. So as long as my family can stop breaking their computers.... we should see the site getting more updates over time until it's properly fully functional. Sorry for those of you though that still follow the story and want to see more of it.

Yup, both interesting and well not expected

I'm moving from 1and1 as the hosting provider for WG.com. During this process there might be down time of a day. The message boards will be disabled once they are backed up ready for the move.

It's kinda funny how the best version of that movie now isn't in either Japanese or English

(you know this as your there) In Japan it's supported by a large number of other comics sold with it's monthly distribution. It's kinda hard for western fans to vision it but in Japan if you buy a monthly comic you have to buy a huge book like thing with countless other stories there. Keeping them any length of time isn't really an option as they are huge so if you want to keep your copy of Guyver you have to buy the yearly book. If not for that I don't think Guyver would have survived as long as it has.

Lets hope it works out, considering the current climate of DC and Marvel a very good and well done Guyver movie would be a great rival franchise if done correctly.

The problem with Guyver is like everyone has said... it is slow. I've being away from it pretty much a whole year, and barely a book has being covered. Aside from that I feel 2 things have haunted Guyver when it tried to branch out: 1) Bad timing. The first 2 live action movies should have never being made -> Overall their scope was too small due to having to budget their special effects, the zoanoids too basic and they turned the series into karate super suit... so much so Sean's first exposer to us is in a dojo. The effects of the time these movies were made did not suit what ultimately we as Guyver fans would want. Ever since book 8 the Guyver story for the last few decades is based in a world Chronos controls. Ideally for a movie to be a success it has to deal with X Day and not be afraid to do it Empire Strikes back style and have the good guys get the asses kicked. 2) Don't be afraid to branch away from the manga. As everyone as pointed out, the story moves at a snails pace. One series = almost 8 books. Don't stick to the story like glue. The Live Action movies and the first OVA done something right, they tried to break away from the cast and story of the manga. If someone wants to do a detailed series they need to do the same, no content = a forgotten story. If there is some of their own originality in the story, as long as it's thought out well it gives them the ability to continue with content without having to wait for Takaya.

Sorry guys, but in some way I feel responsible for letting the site slip. But in the end time marches on. My real life is hectic at the mo, my attic is being converted as we speak and soon I'll have my den back and space I can finally work in and do some fun and finally have a place to put and paint Guyver models!

I have this myself, there are a few of these and also include a Guyver 1 head. It was once of a series of near life size model heads done I think for Wonderfest. You see them the odd time on Yahoo.jp for sale. It's a very nicely detailed peice. I'll finally be painting mine with my attic being converted and me finally having space!

Great chapter, I love the ending. This slow build up looks like it will be very rewarding next month

Imakarum, every event from the moment he was re-awakened hints to it. Takaya also isn't the type of writer to lay seeds of a story and then go against them without reason.

I think it was answered in the un-offical data file... but the question would be how cannon that is?

What you raised there durendal was what I wondered as well when I read this last night. Short but interesting chapter. The way it read was like as if Sho was being asked permission by Aptom to access his bio-energy. Which begs the question of if this goes both ways? Are the Guyver's powers also enchaned?

Thanks Cannibal! I'm looking forward to reading the lines between Aptom and Sho when the group gets a chance to translate I do hope Takaya's age isn't catching up with him or he is sick at the mo. While he's done breaks in the past it's being a long time since he's done a decent lenght chapter. Maybe it's time he accpted help from another good manga artist that can mimic his style very well?

Things are continuing slowly for me. About mid way through re-writing Revenege at the moment and enjoying having the chance to explina things properly in the story. Warrior Guyver 2 is turning into a heavy re-write and I've being going into that worlds verson of a character quite a bit. I've decided to also expand on Taylor Smith, simply put don't be insulted when you read this guys warped view on of the world of the Guyvers. He's turning into quite the asshole.

Great 10 pages!

Thanks! Got it.
