Last post for the moment of Lee Ji Woo:

Well, here's something different. Ye XiQi:

Animated gif of Hwang Mi Hee dancing. I dunno, something to fill the gap?

Well, I suppose that the link is already evident and obvious. Like I said, some people tend to choose to be an idiot and ignore those even if you throw it in their face. Maybe you should put a red flashing warning and say "Do not click me". Who knows, there may be some "Deedee's" out there thinking "Oooh! What does this button do?"

Guin Saga certainly looks interesting. To be honest, I've only heard of this now. For a light novel that started in 1979 and still continuing, there has to be something that makes this series still alive and kicking. I bet this novel is even older than some of the guys here. Is there any translated version of this? edit: nevermind, I found the english publisher for this. -
Actually I meant the script that you created for viewing the VDF. Seeing as the VDF itself is already present to everyone, I find it a little difficult to write up a wiki about the VDF.
-
In light of the recent incident, may I suggest that the Frequently Asked Questions be incorporated while registering? Something that states that they should read the FAQ before posting anything. Just a thought. Well, there are bound to be idiots who ignore the FAQ if they chose to do so. As they say, an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.
-
So... it is possible to link the vdf script with the wiki page that was just made? As it seems that the wiki page is empty at the moment. And would it not be more efficient if it explains exactly what VDF means? Just some suggestions.

Come on guys. It's not fair, you're making it look like I'm the only pervert here. Don't have anymore pictures of fair ladies that you wish to share to the world? Obviously I have this thing towards Hwang Mi Hee:

Oh, by the way, here's the second part of the interview: vdf-067 Page 140 large-ass purple text: [sho has a place he can return. That would be Mizuki, and Tetsuro.] red text: Shou the [Ordinary boy] and the many people that he protects -from here on, can we talk about the characters that have appeared. First, the main character, can you please tell us more about Shou. For this, it would be better to talk about the beginning of [Guyver] which is the view of human nature as fundamentally depraved. It would start from the [variety of humans which has already been bloodstained if they were born in (a belligerent zoanoid base) existence....]. That is why, you can't be saved by cruelty or foolishness, that would the be varied limitation, and not say how this could be. Even if they were born cursed they would draw the subjugated form of humans. The wish of Shou includes being [not belligerent, with a balanced high school student]. Later, his father would be killed, Shou would have an impression of an unfortunate main character fighting Murakami who has become an enemy. That is certainly so, but on the other hand he has many loved ones like Mizuki and Tetsuro right? He is definitely not alone. The basis of the themes is that a person could not live alone. -with this, can you tell us about Mizuki. As expected, she loves Shou. Even if you exclude the Loving emotions she is an important person with a strong connection. She is, for Shou [a place to return]. If she somehow died a horrible death Shou would not be able to develop. -How about Tetsuro. He is the viewpoint of the reader or my viewpoint. Again, it is because Shou has Tetsuro that he can't run away and has to fight. Him and Mizuki are irreplaceable people to Shou. Page 141 text in orange circle: This is a drawing of Murakami given as a present from the readers. Visiting Takaya-sensei's attitude, the characters exceptionally improtant to him and the readers. red text: In the climax of Mount Minakami, the heroic last moments achieved by Murakami! -This time can you tell us about Murakami. Murakami knows well the situation of the enemies side in the Mount Minakami arc. He was a character created as a pilot character for Shou and the others, before the 12 holy commanders appeared, he had the role of showing the readers the powers attained by a Zoalord. For the enemy he is a prototype who is already dead thus they do not know his true identity, becoming the mysterious character. Having established that experimental body would not have long to live, it would be a climax to see up to where he lives. Murakami has an overwhelming popularity towards female. There was a picture of Murakami wearing a cardigan in the opening of chapter 36, this was a chapter dedicated to Murakami for the readers. There was also a 1000 paper cranes created when Murakami died. I fully understood that the readers are seriously reading. That is why, when drawing the development of Murakami's death it was mentally hard. As expected, I had to do my best up to the last moment and drew the characters death, this seemed to had influenced my mentallity and made me stagger. red text: The Ambitious Man - Makishima Agito -Please tell us about Makishima. At first, he had an ambition, right now he seems to have this feeling of being Shou's aide. Actually... right now that ambition is not yet forgotten. It is steadily advancing. Recently he seems to be in the side of Shou, he only accompanies them because the enemy is too strong. That is why, in effect he helps Shou in order to crush him (laugh). -thereupon, the formation of Zeus Thunderbolt in New York, does this get him nearing to his self interest. It is not about getting nearer to his self interest. It was to make himself a replacement for Cronos. If they take root that the peoples impression of cronos is evil [Zeus Thunderbolt] will become their saviour. Makishima has planned it this far. It's just, right now the resistance organization does not have enough power to do things, it will become obvious hereafter. -with that, becoming an enemy to Shou someday including Cronos do you think it will come to a 3 way struggle. That's right. Shou is drawing close to that decision. red text: Revival of Guyot -Can you tell us about Guyot who was already dead. No, Guyot is still alive. -Eh!? Really. There might be people who may have noticed, he already reappeared previously. And then, he would have a big connection to the next story. -Then, we would like to hear more about the point of his evil. Evil huh.... It is certain that Guyot is a bad person. That's right, he can't trust anyone aside from himself. I think he's around his 40's, at that age he has not yet been loved by anyone, nor he has loved anyone. I don't think he has experienced every kind of bittersweetness. In every loneliness, he thinks that he is the only one who can save himself, that's what I think when I'm drawing him. An unusually sad character huh. Just, because of that dryness he is certainly a frightening enemy. In his current movement, please pay attention to him. red text: From revenge demon to a true warrior.... [Eternal Man] Aptom -Binding the characters firmly, please tell us about Aptom. Compared to what he is at first he is a character that has changed right. At first he is a [revenge demon]. At a time when he did not noticed that he is free from the mental control of a Zoalord, he had the bloodshot eyes to murder Guyver I. He seeks to be stronger and became the ultimate battle creature because of revenge. He is rather popular towards the male readers. Even though he hasn't even won once. He will definitely laugh and appear to be fearless. Just, no matter how deep he sinks he will definitely crawl up. That persistence is what's given empathy. But, under that he is an [undying guy]. Although Balcus said before that he is a [bioboost armor with self consciouness], it strange to have said that right. Right now, he is thinking of his reason to fight. By no means has he lost sight of his true enemy. He is still thinking of [why does Somlum and Dyme had to die?]. Protecting Mizuki from the shadows, this is the only change in the way of his thinking.

I think this matter predates back to the old guyver.net board. Before, we have this page that have the files in thumbnail while in the center is the current file you are viewing. Everytime an edit is made, the thumbnail is also automatically replaced (I think). After the migration to this board, I think the old format was not kept, and all the file was simply dumped into one folder. The old format was efficient and more user friendly. But I think after were done with this, it would be much more efficient if you just compile this into a single file like a zip or rar to ease the download. Or have an option to retain the old format which will give members something like an online vdf. Just a suggestion.

Yeah, I was actually gonna say nevermind what I said as I just watched episode 11. Apparently you posted first before I did. -
Kamen Rider Decade broadcast episode discussion
durendal replied to a topic in Japanese Entertainment
*shudders* Please no more talk of American riders. I get a cold chill every time I think about that. I did notice that the slots in Diend is the complete opposite of Decades. Like Decade had the slots in his face while Diend has it in his eyes. I don't know, I just thought I'd point it out. Now I'm wondering what kind of Riders Diend can summon. We all know that Decade can transform into the main riders, does this mean Diend can only summon support riders like Ixa? -
No, this is not photoshopped. I guarantee you that this establishment really exists.

This is really sad. To see one of my favorite actors, Chow Yun Fat, being bashed just because of a bad movie he's in. Sadder still, the producer Stephen Chow is a huge Dragonball fan, as can be reflected in majority of his movies. I don't think there is anything wrong with the cast and crew of the movie, well, except the guy who played Goku, it's just that General American tastes are totally different from the taste of a long time fan. Hollywood always fails in coverting anything Japanese based to the big screen. They should just fund the movie and leave the directing to the Japanese without restrictions. Just compare Final Fantasy the Spirits within and Final Fantasy VII Advent Children and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Kamen Rider Decade broadcast episode discussion
durendal replied to a topic in Japanese Entertainment
Since Decade is getting a powerup, why not Diend too? Perhaps all those riders in the rider wars were summoned by Diend via powerups? Maybe Tsukasa would get a piece of his memory back by re-obtaining some his lost rider cards. I have a feeling that the destroyer of worlds is neither Decade or Diend, but instead they are there to stop the destroyer of worlds. Perhaps the world in confusion will be easier for the destroyer of worlds to corrupt, thus when Decade completes his mission on the rider worlds, the destroyer of world would have a hard time destroying said world because Decade already readied the last world he visited? I don't know, I guess I'm babbling nonsense now. -
I just saw the first episode of FMA, and I don't think this is a continuation. Most of the characters who had died in the first season have come back (thank goodness). It seems like a retelling of the FMA series with a few additions rather than a continuation. I certainly hope that they follow the manga closely this time.

Well, here's something to keep everyone talking or busy for a while: vdf-066.png Page 138 Yoshiki Takaya Special Interview large-ass text: Takaya Yoshiki Red text: The creation of a new Hero! Secret Story of the birth of [Guyver] -Drawing [bioboost Armor Guyver], as well as the sequence of design, can you tell us more about it It was on the launching of Monthly Magazine Shonen Captain in Juanuary 1985, the editor asked me at that time to [draw a hero story] and it is where it all started. Mostly, at first it was every other month for the first year, it was decided to run as a short term serialization! And then 11 years after....time certainly pass quickly. If it ended like that, I somehow decided to draw an [H Love Comedy] next. -We would want to see that (laugh) With that, at that time I thought about a motif of a Metal Hero called [Megadiver]. To establish a n[Enhanced suit equipped instantly remodeling the body], this later would be developed into Guyver. Thinking about it this concept is where it all started. However, before making the prototype the one in charged requested . Page 139 With that, I thought of a suit with an equipment controlled by a living creature fused to the hero. This is how Guyver was born. The design of the creature used as an image motif was from a [scared to death] movie [syngenor]. Later, only the name of the metal hero's control equipment remains. -Can you tell us the origin of the name [Guyver]. Anyway I was thinking of something [rememberable, short, and a name that suits a hero]. I have not made any reference. Deriving from the strongly raised [Megadiver] which was mentioned before. Taking off the [Me] and [Da] you get [Guyver] (laugh). The [Megasmasher] also came from this. black text in orange circle: Great Publication!! This is, the place where Takaya-sensei works! From this space, a number of scene from [bioboost armor guyver] was given birth red text: Guyver Power Ups!! Giving birth to the general idea of Gigantic -Then next can we ask you about the Gigantic. At the start of the Minakami Ark I have already thought of the [Guyver Powerup]. With the enemy gradually growing stonger, until Alchanfel finally shows up in the end. With the normal Guyver he cannot possibly cross swords with them. With that, I though that there has to be a new power to enter. Just, I didn't want any easy powerups. Also, I don't want to throw away the design of Guyver I. I was thinking in the direction of [With Guyver I's annihilation a new power will be attained]. With that, the idea of [double bioboosting] into Guyver I's bioboost came about, but that is still difficult. It was difficult to incorporate the [Design shilhouette of the Guyver that is different from Guyver I]. With the Nagivation room of the Relic ship, and the giant control Metal system which is the Navigation Metal, it was early on that the idea of a traditional control metal combining with the Dual Control Metal forming a double halo. From there it was still difficult, at that time I drew up what I felt should be inside the head. Later, this came out as the fake gigantic incident came about. On that day, MAX Watanabe called when I was playing about in my workplace, around 10 minutes before he arrived I drew an imitation design. After telling him about [3 pieces of High Frequency Sword in one hand, 3 gravity control orb, the pole in the back is the relic ship's taking in off], it was uncool and gloomy (laugh). After saying the jokes we went into the trouble of honestly completing the design. red text: Takaya Yoshiki Creature, Desgin art of [Zoanoid] -Can you tell us the design of the zoanoids in the world of [bioboost armor guyver]. What kind of mark did you consciously design them. The concept from the start of it's serialization to the present has not changed. The main principle being [not limited to an existing and specific animal will be the mystery]. For example, I won't do a Cat Man, or Bear Man or Dog Man. One example of Gregole, in one continuity at this stage most of its name is naturally hidden. You have this strong feeling of association with the image of a dinosaur and demon. Even though Vamore has been established to have a design of [a zoanoid having a beam cannon], it is not easily recognized. 3 chapters after, a long running regular Ramotith combined the element of a hairy, large eared, and a small creature with a face like a bat. This concept has changed in the appearance of the Hyper Zoanoid team 5. In order to give the Hyper Zoanoid distinction, all of their body is covered with the motif of the creature. Zxtole is a stag beetle, Elegen is an electric eel, Dazerb has this Psi feeling. But if you look carefully, only looking at the image does not give the impression that there is no composition of these creatures parts. An electric eel doesn't have a face like that (laugh). Gastarl and Thancrus is close to the initial design concept. If I were to worry about others, this was because at this time there was a heavy design influence from the famous [Aliens], this was what was in my mind. Oh yes, there was something that I was surprised at. The chapter before the serialization, reading the first chapter's continuity if you've read the Shonen Jump at the convenience store, you would relate this to Araki Hirohiko-san's [bao the Visitor]! Reading this it is [a story of a hero who has a living weapon] and you would know immediately. Worrying about consciously getting influence, I did not read the Tankoubon. I knew of Araki-san from his work [Demon Boy Biti] before which I have read. I thought it was really interesting even though we were going into the same arena! This is something which has come true, which I was afraid of. Thank goodness that the story and atmosphere is entirely different, but at that time I was really fearful. By the way, there was a time that I enjoyed reading the tankoubon of [bao the visitor]. Ignoring this detail the monthly Shonen Captain was published, and then the serialization of [bioboost armor Guyver] started. text below the guyver cover (text in orange circle): In commemoration of the first Tankoubon. Trully, various trial and error gave birth to this work large text in purple: ["Enhanced suit equipped instantly remodeling the body.... this concept is where it all started.]
