Twilight creatures vs Guyver creatures, and my idea for the "ultimate battle creature"
Heh, while were at it, why don't we mix in some 50 shades into the equation. Given that Shizu has this strong sense to serve Agito, what if Christian Grey comes into the picture and swoons her off her feet, dispensing her his infamous S&M habits. He just might be one of the higher up of Cronos given his vast wealth and influence.

Twilight creatures vs Guyver creatures, and my idea for the "ultimate battle creature"
WWII weapons would be like peashooters to Zoanoids with the exception of nukes. It may be interesting to pit "twilight" vampires to zoanoids, but Guyvers are way out of their league. The Volturi are weak and their strength only comes from their numbers and special individuals they posses. The cullens would stand victorious if they face the volturi on a one of one match. In fact, if you look closely, there is dissent from the Volturi ranks. The only reason they still serve the volturi is because of fear.

So what would happen if the guyver universe was crossed with Kamen Rider or Sentai?
Zoanoids against sentai? Two words: Squishy heel.

Guyver death question...
Would the Guyver feel any pain? I mean, since bioboosting usually replaces some parts of his body, won't it be logical to take out the pain receptors as well? It seems to me that doning the g-unit gives you an equivalent body of a soldier. Wouldn't soldiers benefit from having no pain?

Enzyme's defeat?
Despite having the title of "Guyver Killer", how many Guyvers have they actually killed versus how many were killed by Guyvers? Would smashing their head automatically kill them? If it would, I'd just pop off their heads before they have the chance to regenerate. If not, blind them with the head beam and cut-off their head. Once cut, throw their head as far as possible and see headless enzymes groping for their heads. Or cut off one of their arms and use them to flay the other enzymes. The only reason Shou got killed was due to his hesitation.

Guyver Gigantic vs Archanfel
Misunderstood would be the most appropriate term for Alchanfel rather than villanous. I think that term should be reserved for Guyot and the renegades. Regarding the gigantic vs alchanfel, the creators must know something that we don't that would make them turn tail and run. Using this as a basis, I would think that the gigantic would be able to defeat alky. Why else would the creators order alky to destroy guyver 0 immediately despite alky easily dispatching him? As we have seen so far, Shou has been able to dispatch zoalords after zoalords using the Gigantic. I would not count Agito's encounter with the other zoalords since he has yet to fully utilize the gigantic during his fights. It seems that the Gigantic can be powerful, not in terms of raw power as demonstrated by Agito, but in terms of creativity which Shou fully utilized.

Disturbing observation?
Of course there would be an organization behind the creators. Why would they need to develop beings fit for their army? I'm sure they have their own wars to wage.

Guyot?
There is this term we use that literally translates to "bad weed". This denotes that no matter what kind of harm happens, this person will still keep on living. Come to think of it, it's no longer surprising that Guyot survived. He's that type of character that refused to die no matter what happens. This kind of stature are typically reserved for "annoying" characters or characters that are just plain evil. I think Guyot falls into the later.

is Akibaranger a metaphor for real life decline of tokusatsu?
Don't you think that sentai has become a cliche? The portrayal of a red ranger has become synonymous with being a goody two shoes hero. It is always considered heroic in a strictly stereotypical way. Please read this wiki article about a Japanese group parodying sentai to the point that a movie was made out of their skit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanjani_Sentai_Eightranger

What live-action series are you watching or have you watched?
I'm actually surprised that you guys were able to stomach watching sentai. I make no offense when I say that. I just felt that sentai has not evolved since I started watching it when I was still a kid. Story-wise they may be different, but the concept remains the same that it has became somewhat predictable for me. Comparing sentai from different eras, it still follows the same formula. Not so sure about the latest iteration, but perhaps you guys can educate me.

Go right ahead. But you might not like the waiting. I just couldn't get enough of it I started reading the manga. And oh man, that one character is just crazy.

Are THere Any Gundam Model Series That Are Prepainted?
Since there are literally thousands of models kits in the gundam franchise, I try to limit myself to the flagship gundams for each series, and mainly majority of them are Master Grade (MG). I made it a point to buy the main gundam of each series, but I stopped at Seed since I still have tons left unbuilt. So officially, Strike Gundam was the last MG I bought. There are a few exceptions of course. Like G-Gundam. I bought all the 1:144 HG of G Gundam and had them all painted. I'm missing the MG Gundam Spiegel since I already stopped buying when it came out.

I don't understand YouTube
No, it's just one guy from youtube picking on you. Apparently he doesn't like you so he keeps on taking down your videos. That's the only thing that makes sense. There are numerous blatant copyright infringement posted in youtube yet they're still there, and your innocent video gets taken down. What has the world come to.

Choice for phones
That's actually the main problem. It's the perception of the media that Blackberry is dying which is causing a lot of people to avoid it in the first place. This is most especially true in the US, where the carriers themselves will dissuade you from buying a blackberry when you step into their store. While BB is very big in the Southeast Asian regions. The apps ecosystem is also a big contributor. Many people don't want Blackberry because of the lack of apps, and app developers don't want to develop for Blackberry because not a lot of people are using it. It's like the chicken and the egg. I can say that it's a bit unfair to Blackberry because a lot of people are already dismissing their phones even without trying it. Even without the physical keyboard, it is still the best I've seen on a touchscreen. I've even read that the OS they run on is QNX which are utilized by military grade missile guidance systems. That's gotta count for something.

Choice for phones
Well, after using android for a few weeks, I have to say that I still prefer Blackberry 10 as an OS. On an Android phone, it's too cumbersome for me to switch apps which I can do with relative ease on my Z10. Typing is very difficult, given that both my Z10 and Galaxy core are practically the same size. In fact, the Galaxy core is 0.1 inch bigger than my Z10 (4.2" vs 4.3"). Heck, hand writing is way better on the Z10 as you can utilize the whole screen instead of a small portion on an android phone. I had to toggle the GPS on or off whereas it goes on automatically on my Z10. Overall, I prefer the user experience of BB10. The good thing about Android is that I get to play a lot of games on it.

Star Wars Episode 7
They completely re-wrote the star wars history with the release of episode 1-3. What's to stop them from doing the same again?

Choice for phones
Finally bit the bullet and bought the Galaxy Core. It's not a flagship phone, but specs-wise, it's similar to the SIII mini. I was actually supposed to wait until end of September to buy one, but my Curve now keeps restarting on me. It's a sign already saying that I should buy a new phone. The S4 mini is just too expensive for me. So far I'm happy, but I still like my Blackberry Z10 better.

SOPA
Aha, this coming from the nation who spies on every other country. It’s funny how some people are such hypocrites. No offense to our American friends, but how can your leaders be such asses.

A Game of Thrones
Yup, finished it last month and it left a big cliffhanger. I'm slowly moving along on the third book and I see a lot more differences, though only minor. For one, in the book, Jorah Mormont did not recognize Baristan Selmy nor did he reveal his true identity to Daenarys. This leads me to question how they would fit in what would happen later when Daenarys gets betrayed again.

Possible Cast For A Gundam Movie?
If it were up to me, I would rather that they cast an unknown for the lead roles, especially for Amuro and Char. Similar as to how actors are afraid of being typecast, the true can also be said on the viewers perspective. For example, we are already typecasting Ben Affleck as Daredevil even before he puts on the cowl. besides, big names in movies usually means big salary, leaving less budget for the other more important aspects of the movie. How many times have we seen big stars being cast in famous characters only to have that movie flop?

Possible Cast For A Gundam Movie?
Well, I'm not saying that all hollywood movies are crap. Look at Death Note. It was slightly faithful and I did enjoy it. But I don't think it would be right for them to recreate the One Year War as a live action movie. Then they would have cast a very young Lalah and portray the pedo tendencies of Char. They don't call him the ped comet for nothing. If ever they do a Gundam movie, I would prefer that they either stick to the original material (which hollywood never tend to do), or create a new story altogether. You have to remember, there are many Japanese who worship the Gundam franchise, and any wrong move will spur the wrath of legions of Otaku. I remember a lot of them idolizing Matilda so they have to be very careful who they cast her. I have to admit, G-saviour wasn't exactly purely Japanese made. It probably failed because it tried to distance itself from the franchise by not even mentioning the word Gundam. Wait no, it was just poorly written.

Possible Cast For A Gundam Movie?
Good God Man! They already released a live action Gundam film years ago and they failed miserably. Look up G-Savior. Even Tomino, the original author, voiced his disapproval of the movie. No offense, but I don't want Gundam to be polluted with a touch of hollywood. They are never faithful to the original source. I want to remember the Original Gundam as the classic they were.

Anime you are currently watching and/or Downloading
Due to the long holiday weekend, I was bored and told myself, "hey, why not watch some random anime". Navigated to Dannychoo.com and looked for something that might be interesting. I saw in some of his posts about a random giant monster that looks like a skinless man. Searched for it and decided on that. I was initially going to watch one episode only, first to pass the boredom, and second to get a feel of the anime if it is worth watching. Surprised was I that it was a good series. The series is titled "Shingeki no Kyoji" or known in english as "Attack on Titan". Here's a short description based on mangareaders: Yes, it was originally a manga. But I felt that the anime fleshes out the characters very well. Turns out, my little curiosity kept me up late at night to watch this. I'm already up to episode 14 and things looks good.

JB in Star Wars? God forbid. Unless they intend him to be the next Jarjar Binks. Well, they do have the same initials.

Choice for phones
You really can't go wrong with the phone that was given the title of best phone of 2012. We are now entering the era of mobile computing that might eventually phase out desktop and laptop computers. Although I doubt that will happen anytime soon as I myself prefer desktop PCs. But mobile phones nowadays can outperform desktop PC's with the Octacore thingamajigs. Crazy, who needs a processor that fast? Well, I'm still happy with my Blackberry Z10, but my Blackberry Curve 9360 feels a little bit neglected. I'm still trying to decide whether to get the SIII Mini or the S4 Mini to replace my Curve. Maybe in a few more months I'll be able to finally decide.
