So its the Gamera of anime 😉 🤣 I kid I kid. I never got a chance to see the original Go-Lion except for clips via youtube. I did like what they did with Lotor to a point - have him allied with Voltron-Force (refuse to call it Team-Voltron - sounds to childish) even hook him up with Allura (not that I really liked this Allura since season 2) which was new and different. But I knew he was a Romulan in sheep's clothing. Hell the voice actor I at first thought was Gray Haddock who I think voiced Archanfel. Even though I liked Seasons 1&2, some of 3&6, and half of 7. That being said I think that Season-3 to Season-8 is because they weren't banking on it being received so... "well"? But yeah... it is up there for disappointing endings with GoT. So far of all the reboots I have seen of series from the 80s only 3 have out shined their originals in my opinion. Because of how it ended, I refused to watch or rewatch any reboot series on Netflix.

You really arent missing much if Season 2 bored you. It seems like they had no real plan post season 2, (which I predicted Shiro's fate when it premiered) because season 3 was quite literally "The Search for Shiro," Season 4 was "Shiro is back and in charge so now we have to build a Coalition and do Voltron PR shows," Season 5 "lets be friends with lotor and go to a magical place of Altean legends". Season 6 had a D&D like episode, Season 7 a Game Show episode. Season 8 was just a massive dumpster fire. I am just glad they didn't have any singing episodes which seems like Eeeeeeeeeeevery series these days need to have because of Glee But it was many other things that crippled this show to failure. Introducing characters/organizations/ events and put no effort into proper develoment. Yes Shiro came back, (which I predicted his fate when Season 2 premiered), but they didn't develop why he was back - instead the "fans" didn't question it and were "shocked" when he and Keith had a Star Wars Episode 3 Obi-Wan vs Anakin like fight. I mean you watch that fight you can literally hear the songs "Obi-Wan vs Anakin" and "Fall of a Hero" during that whole sequence. Hell those very fans were even "shocked" when Lotor was revealed to be experimenting on&killing/betrayed the Voltron-Force/and went batsh*t crazy and tried destroying them after Allura dumped him. I was really pulling for this series to be a great reboot because 2011s Voltron-Force wasn't that well received by fans. But 🤷‍♂️ C'est le vive? It has jaded my view on any reboot on Classic 1980s series on Netflix.

@Matt BellamyDid you finish Legendary Defender? What did you think? As a whole (seasons 1-8) the series was good but it wasn't great. I do agree with you that the music for the most part was rather lack luster up to Season 6. Especially the lack of that wonderful beautifully epic song we all grew up with (Voltron DotU/Voltron-3D/Voltron-Force) - which I understand if they couldn't use it for copyright reasons but something other than the song they had that tapped into those nostalgic emotions. When still hear that classic song to this day I still get teary eyed and chills. But I think the showrunners wanted to do so much that they hurt the series.

Love both DOOM 2016 and DOOM Eternal. I mean as Guyver fans, how could we not love 2016. Especially when we get levels that are pretty much the embodiment of the aftermath of an Out of Control Guyver rampage? Fanfiction writers like myself can use it as a scaling tool for. I mean how could we NOT think Chronos Optimization/Processing (which ever you wish to call them) in these shots, or a Zoanoid examination table.

I apologize if this has already been discussed, but I have been gone for quiet some time. But I have been recently wondering, whatever happened to the Libertus that Aptom was fighting? in the pier? Did he kill them? Absorb them? What? Aptom seems like the type that he wouldn't back down from a fight let alone a potentially tasty Zoanoid unless he had good reason to. I am also wondering if it has also been mentioned whether he can in fact absorb them or not.

Yeah, I never understood that either. I mean I always considered Natsuki Tetsuro's girl, and always thought there was something more between Aptom and Hayami because of how they looked after each other and how Aptom reacted to his death. But I also suspect that there may be something developing between him and Valcuria. I can't read the manga but I remember he helped her out and has been keeping an eye on her, while she also spared his life.

I have never really given much thought to how I would like to see the series end. Instead I've been thinking of ways on how I would garnish more attention for the series like a continuation or reboot of the 2005 series or a new Guyver movie - especially now with the MCU and DCEU seemingly "struggling" according to youtube-talking heads. But to finish the series these are my initial thoughts on how I want the series to end: One thing for sure, I wouldn't want any redemption arcs. Aptom is one thing, and earned his redemption arc, thus becoming one of Sho's most trusted allies - more so than Agito. BUT, Hamilcar, Guyot, Archanphel, even Imakarum don't deserve redemption arcs. Case in point, ever since Zuko in Avatar got his new-age fans want every villain of series (Zarkon/Honerva/Lotor of Voltron Legendary Defender, Hordak/Catra/and others of She-Ra: Princesses of Power, Evil-Lyn of Masters of the Universe: Revelation to name a few) to have "redemption arcs." Villains are there to raise the stakes for the heroes, NOT be redeemed. That being said, I wouldn't mind seeing a temporary 3-way temporary truce between Guyver-I/Aptom, Zeus Thunderbolt, and Chronos especially with my next point. The Advents return in force and have it be a tie-in to the second live Action movie with the Relic Sean sent home prompting the return of their return to 'Finish the Job.' I do like the idea of Tetsuro and Natsuki being a married couple and Sho finally getting his "Mundane Human Life" with Mizuki with or without the Guyver I'd be fine with either option, but almost a Gundam 08th MS Team ending with Shiro and Aina for them. Hidden from the rest of the world in which only 1 or 2 people knows where. Aptom finally getting the peace he deserves maybe becoming a very "CLOSE" friend to Valcuria ( 😉😉) after he works to convince her to join him and Sho Imakarum and Guyot meeting face to face again and Imakarum killing Guyot before being struck down himself - "I'll send you to hell even if I have to drag you there myself" comment from 2005 series. If Shin survives the Zoalord purge and final battle, I would like to see him become the leader of Chronos in a new age. He seems like he is a respectable and honorable Zoalord. Why else would Sho and Aptom approach him for information on Apollyon

Either a game like Mortal Kombat or DOOM 2016... Especially one like DOOM where YOU are the Guyver. You get Advent Related objects to find and collect in which you can use to evolve to the Gigantic-Guyver/gain more energy for weapons health/armor strength, unlock different Guyver designs in which you can use to create your own design, in game collectibles, and GLORY KILLS. Power ups like those of DOOM: Berserk, Invulnerability, Invisibility, and quad damage. If you die or have to respawn/load checkpoint or if your health gets to or below 25% you go into an emergency Self Defense Mode. Like DOOM, you go around ripping and tearing everything trying to kill you. Humans (scientists/agents/combatants), Movie/Standard/Hyper/Lost Numbers/Guyver-Killers/Proto-Zoalords/ even other Guyvers. Leaving the Guyot, Imakarum, Purgstall, Waferdanos, Yentsui as the bosses and Apollyon as hidden villain like Doctor Samuel Hayden was in DOOM 2016.

Alita certainly gives me hope on a Guyver movie done right. But getting a production team and director that will do it justice. Id be more than excited if Robert Rodriguez announced he was doing it. But Guillermo del Toro, Len Wiseman (Underworld fame)/James Wan because of their work on the Swamp-Thing, and for what it was even Rupert Sanders of Ghost in the Shell. These people if they were to direct and produce a Guyver movie I would be more than happy with. But something rather than nothing needs to happen with Guyver, it has so much potential, it just needs the chance to be exploited. With Alita so beautiful in Real-3D 4K, just imagine the Guyver carnage, zoanoid/zoalord transformations, and energy weapons in Real-3D 4K definition....

Thanks With the announcement of Guyver-III and Guyver-IIF being made into Figmas I am looking forward to getting doubles of them, if those plans do come to fruition. I am still waiting for the chance to get Guyver Gigantic Exceed and Archanfel ​

If you are able to see this video, this is half of my collection. I have the Collect500 and 600 figures boxed up waiting for my "Kaiju Cave" to be set up. Also missing are my dvds, both Guyver-1 figma figures, the soundtracks, my only comic book and anime magazine. https://www.facebook.com/julius.archibaldiv/videos/vb.100000890257586/884023944970606/?type=3&theater

Wow. My Guyver collection is so...... pathetic compared to yours. lol

So I am working on a project, well restarting it because my luck with electronics as not been the best this year so far. But it is going to be a rather massive drawing and I was wondering if someone can help me find the one picture I need to complete my cache of reference pictures. My plans and goal is to have an "out of control" Guyver-1 surrounded by every popular alien, robot, cyborg, armored hero and villian, and other bioweapons from popular anime, movies, cartoons, and games. But the one picture I so desperately want or a picture close to it, is a full body picture of Armored Batman from the leaked Comic-Con Batman vs Superman trailer. Has anyone been able to find one of this suit or a have a picture close to it?

If a new Guyver movie does ever come to fruition, I would hope that if Steve Wang is unable to direct the movie, then I would like to see Guillermo del Toro direct it. I think he would not only follow the source material but do series the justice it so rightly deserve.

A while ago I wrote a message on face book and sent a letter to Legendary on how I would end Godzilla 2, and in that letter I even asked if they would be willing to take on a Guyver project. I doubt they would respond or if they would take up a Guyver project. It would be nice if they did though and I would be absolutely surprised. Guyver is ripe to come back to the big screen, with films such as the Underworld movies, The Incredible Hulk, Avengers, and Iron Man to study transformations from ordinary people into unstoppable creatures and heroes in armor suits. The technology is also ripe to ot only accurately portray all the Guyver's abilities, but imagine them in 3rd! *drools like homer* Maybe if we Guyver fans will eventually get a new movie if we lobby for it. But if Ghost in the Shell doesn't fail as a live action over here, and if James Cameron ever gets off his ass and does Battle Angel like he was rumored to do. . . .FOR THE PAST 10 PLUS YEARS and it is a success, we MIGHT see one sooner then later. But those 2 movies in my opinion holds the future of anime to live action adaptations in their hands so to speak. Because lets face it, Hollywood has not been kind to the anime series they made live action adaptations of.

Dont really know if this link will work here or not but this is a video of half of my collection https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=884023944970606&set=vb.100000890257586&type=3

That was awesome Guyverfan *smacks hands for deviating away from paper*

Now this is a post from the heart which has been bugging me for the past few months. Even though I haven't been able to really keep up with the monthly chapters with college,work and trying to find a career, I am still passionate about Guyver and and treat it as if it were still new, so please hear me out: I think ultimately the fault begins and ends with us, as in the fans. I have been a solid Guyver fan since 1994 when I was 11 or 12 depending on when Dark Hero came out. While I agree with some of the views already posted I feel we have become to complacant as fans. We should be more vocal with the series to those who will listen to us, whether it is friends, co-workers, classmates, family, or possible movie directors we have to make them see the good of Guyver, especially now when movie companies are pumping out, whats the count now 8-10 Superhero movies a year. Infact look at Dragonball Z, the animated series ended in 1996 (Japanese dub) and 2003 (American Dub) but because the fans are so passionate for the series they made so many movies and a Series that I guess doesnt exist because it was so bad, I dont know, not a DBZ-Fan. A matter of fact, a few weeks ago I was called a "Complacant Red Commie Facist" by one of my fellow G-Fans on facebook because I am one of those who tell people to stop complaining about the release date (June 8th 2018 for those interested )for the sequel. But I have come to the conclusion, and if this offends any of my fellow fans I am sorry, that WE of the Guyver-Nation are the complacant ones. I have noticed that with the decline in material for each chapter that some people have come to accept that with it being almost a decade since the 2005 series came out, that we will NEVER get a continuation of the series or new movie, especially when all people have to do now is just go to a website or two and download everything there is to Guyver - Anime, Movies, and Manga. But we as fans should not be that complacant. With preorders for Volume 31 on this very website, if 2005 covered from the first chapter of Volumn 1 to the first chapter of Volumn 10, WE HAVE ENOUGH MATERIAL for two to three seasons additional seasons. Even if they have to spread the content out alittle and change things I would be fine with that. There is enough material in which while filming the additional seasons, the creator of this series could still continue to pump them out. Think of it, it takes about a year to a year and a half to get a decent sized volume out, and due to the declining content being released, that by the time they got to the end of the third additional season for example (which would be season 4) they would have material for seasons 5-7. In fact just yesterday a fellow G-Fan and I were talking who is also into Guyver and he also said that he "doesnt understand why Guyver doesn't do well when it is pretty popular. And that they should do a new movie because it is well over due for one." I agree with him, we have movies like Iron-Man, Underworld, The Incredible Hulk, The Avengers, even Man of Steel to study how to feasibly protray a man in a suit of armor and people transforming into their battle forms. But if we are to get any more new seasons or movies it needs to interesting and be able to draw more people to the franchise. Because if they become fans they will go get the figures, the clothes, manga, anime, and live action films from the previous 29 years. I understand that Guyver isnt that popular with animes and mangas like Attack on Titan, Dragonball Z - which I find GREATLY overrated, Naruto, and all the other animes the kids are watching and reading today. But I argue this, isnt it our job to make the series popular? Isnt it our job to show the Japanese that regardless of where we are, that we are just as passionate for Guyver like we are for Godzilla, Dragonball, and other shows we get from them? Isnt it our job, which ties into my post on what we call ourselves, to self promote Guyver? I wear my Guyver shirt at least once every week? I get asked about the series every time I wear it. Hell I even have 3 co-workers who I am trying to get hooked into Guyver, which one of them is a DIE-HARD DBZ fan, DC/Marvel fan, and yet another G-Fan, who in my town maybe a even a bigger G-Fan than I am. I think we should have a designation in which we call ourselves in which we can pull people to our dark side like how G-Fans, Whovians, and Trekkies do. I think we should wear our Guyver gear proudly and promote it when ever we can to friends, classmates, co-workers, even family. And most of all I urge people to stop being so complacant and start being the voice of Guyver to get more seasons or even a new movies, only then if we work hard enough to make Guyver popular again we may get decent amounts of material in the comics, get a new season or even a new movie. But we have to be vocal to those who will hear us, especially in this age of "Comic-Book Movies." Only then, will we know for sure that even though we tried to bring Guyver back into the lime light it is one of those series that is not meant to withstand the test of time and fade into oblivian, but we tried. As I started this post, It starts with us and ends with us. We need to be doing MORE than what we have been doing. And before anyone says "well by all means go ahead," I have been writing fan mail to directors of movies and the companies asking that maybe in the near future if they could . . . "visit" the Guyver series and make a movie that does the franchise justice. I know the chances of them actually reading my letters is small, the chances of them responding is even slimmer, and the chances of them taking a risk on Guyver is microscoptic, but it is at least a start. Maybe if a movie company like say Legendary gets ENOUGH fan-mail respectfully asking for a Guyver movie to be done that could be that spark of hope for the series. Well its 3 AM here and I have class at 8 with a paper I still need to write so I wont bug you all for the rest of the night. But this is my view on why Guyver doesnt do so well.

I also think that it has to do with not only the dwindling delivery, but not enough people want to give Guyver a chance to hook them or they just dont give Guyver enough credit. One co-worker I am trying to get hooked on Guyver, who is a die-hard DBZ fan , said he just started watching Naruto another anime I couldnt get into and found pointless. If people are fans of DBZ, Marvel, DC, etc etc etc I also find just dont want anything to do with Guyver even if you debate with them that Guyver or any Zoalord could be just as strong if not stronger than their favorie superhero/villain.

But think of it. If we have a title in which we can call ourselves, it might respark interest in Guyver again. I mean look at the Hannibal Lecter fan base. It was small before the NBC series was released and picked up a small following. It wasnt until people started wearing Hannibal shirts reading Fannibal, that it picked up in popularity with shirts like "You're talking to a Fannibal. Please don't be rude."

That is why I asked for suggestions in this thread that we can toss around.

I actually just pre-ordered mine from Big Bad Toy Store yesterday.

So I dont know if this has been brought up here, but I posted this a while ago on Facebook and feel its time we have some sort of official title for us as fans but what do we call each other? When I talk to other nerds and say I am a Guyver-Fan they go "OH MacGyver!" So that made me start thinking. There are G-Fans for Godzilla and other Kaiju fans, Whovians for Doctor Who fans, Trekkies for Star Trek Fans, Fannibals for Hannibal Lecter fans. Hell even Twilight fans are called Twihards or Twihearts. Someone on Facebook suggested "BioBoosters" and a Co-Worker who also likes Guyver suggested "Zoa-nerds." I am open to suggestions for a list in which we can take a poll on the most popular one to be our fandom title.

Now something just popped in my head relating to the Gigantic. What do you suppose would happen if there was such an enemy that could rip the gigantic's control medal out of Sho's or Agito's head? What do you suppose would happen? The Gigantic armor go into melt down or would it just retreat to its chrysilis or would it severe Sho or Agitos link to their Gigantic armor?
