Question on the live action movies
when they made the miniatures for the transformation sequence, they needed some way to hold the armour pieces in mid air, it would have been very difficult without some structure, so I guess they used those tendrils and it developed from there.

Alien: Romulus
I can appreciate alien and prometheus and movies like that. They gently lead you by the hand and at times let go and push you to your limitsand challenge you, but all flowing like a melody that enriches and emboldens you. The trailer of this comes across as cruel, brutish and trauma enducing. This is the kind of modern shock theatre and clamour for attention that I wholly avoid. I have no interest in a competition to be the most disturbing events, I want a rich story that helps me deal with and process scary concepts. A horror movie should leave me with an uneasy feeling, not PTSD.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
That's disappointing. There are so many red flags in that new trailer.

If they don't have proof it was delivered to you, you should be able to get a refund?

concerned about site activity
I saw something that worried me a little. a member had replied to an old topic with useful and relevant information and even a picture that had effectively been requested, yet was chastised for it. I understand that necroposting can be frowned upon in many places, but this forum is not generally active so it concerns me that taking this stance is something that this forum really does not benefit from. if anything, we want to encourage more posting, right?

Godzilla Minus One
This looks realy raw on a personal level. Looking forward to it.

Unoffical STL Guyver been published next month from the Papsikels Group.
I want them to become solid models for sale on the store. I don't have a 3d printer but I like these figurines.

New Guyver Artbook in July(2023)!
No, Matt said he won't be posting any scans because this is a new publication that is reasonably easy to buy. The artbook may not say anything about the manga returning, but the manga is currently on sale at 33yen per volume on digital manga stores. you can get it on amazon japan and read via kindle. That adds to the likelihood of the manga resuming.

Guyver Novel pictures for translating
looking through the topic shows a load of broken photobucket links. I know I don't have any digital copy of this book. I have a physical copy, but photographing or scanning that in is a large job and I'm not sure I have the mental fortitude to do that.

I'm really happy with it. It wasn't that expensive and it is high quality images all compiled in one place. some of these have only been released split between two pages and much smaller.

It's not exactly like they are milking it. There has been some real problems from what we can gather. The action figures are something that collectors are really clamouring for and this is the first publication of guyver we have had in years. I wonder when the VDF was released? was it around the time guyver resumed after moving to kadokawa? I firmly believe this book is a herald of the manga's return.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
I feel like this is the first transformers film done right. It seemed to do the kind of things the first movie wanted to do, but it did them well. I think the fact Mirage could actually talk, made the relationship between him and Noah way more believable and relatable than the relationship between Bee and Sam. Also, Noah had real life issues that really drove his character, whereas Sam was just a douchebag who inexplicably managed to woo Megan Fox.... I loved it and I couldn't identify a single thing wrong with it... except for the thing right at the very end, which is uncalled for.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
I think it's good to be cautious, but I enjoyed it and I didn't spot any of the issues that have been plaguing recent MCU movies. It's not a perfect movie and it may seem that some elements are under utilised, but overall was very satisfying.
-
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
Yeah that is a good point. I guess I should wait to see reviews then. I'm really torn about it.
-
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
wow... How can they do this? It's kinda like a bait and switch, right? Well, I'm taking this off my watch list.
-
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
I think this is fantastic. They are totally retconning it, or rather, this is pretty much saying outright that Bumblebee was a reboot.? I have to say, I'm here for this. 100%. The movie may be good or bad, but I just love the intent behind this.

Yes they will ship worldwide. They'll take your debit or credit card. The shipping might be a little high but we should expect that anyway.

Oh that's a shame. I always thought my Japan Amazon was the same as my main one. Do you need any help to sign up or have you got it?
-

You should be able to use your existing amazon account there. also be sure to change your language in case you haven't seen it

What is it that Guyver lacked to become a mainstream success?
Do you think the cult following is low? I find that nearly everyone I talk to who is interested in geek culture is into Guyver, even if they don't talk about it as often as we do.

What is it that Guyver lacked to become a mainstream success?
Character development. Sho is pretty reactive but doesn't show very much agency. We also don't know much about any hobbies or his history or relationships. We get a little bit, but not much. The enemies are pretty cut and dry too. Obviously it has something that we enjoy, and it has a fairly large cult following, but it's not mainstream because of that lack of character. edit: oh but of course it does improve later, but it takes a long time to get to the better character bits.
