Wow! I really liked how he countered Loki's army with his Hulk. Ahahaha. Loki: I have an Army Tony: We have a Hulk Pawned! hehehe.

Our cable provider recently acquired a channel. Screen Red. I love that channel because it shows Japanese movies all day. Well, not limited to Japanese, but more on asian movies. The first time I had a glimpse of the channel, they were showing Kamen Rider the First. Just recently, I managed to watch a movie which I really liked. Love Come. It's a nice romantic movie that's very touching. It's about a guy who had a crush on this girl for 17 years, and deals with their relationship when they meet again after 17 years. Incidentally, the guy works as a script writer for an anime show. Here's the trailer: Love Come

Whoa! Is that the Helicarrier? Way cool! Looks exactly like I imagined it!

Month? It's showing on the 25th! That's about 3 weeks from now!

Here's another song that I like. Though there is no video, the song is quite nice. This is a Taiwanese song sang in English. It was used as a theme song for a TV station:

You can say that again! I still don't know who those henchmen that we got a glimpse are.

Oh I see, so it's similar to push mail. They "push" the "email" to your phone when it arrives. We are actually using outlook web access to get our mail. But one thing that I cannot dispense is the BBM, or Blackberry Messenger, which our office use. If I changed to another brand of phone, I won't be able to access my BBM since BBM is locked to a specific device exclusive to Blackberry. Decisions, decisions..... *sigh*

I am warm to the idea of getting an Iphone, but our company issued phones are blackberry. Although the setup is simple, I find the push email of the blackberry to be convenient. I have yet to see how the push email works for the Iphone. Not to mention the amount of effort I would need to transfer all my contacts.

Well, April is just around the corner and I'm about to take the next step. All these months I was dead set on getting the Blackberry Curve 9360. But I just read an article a few minutes ago about RIM posting major loss in their financials. They also said that major key people were resigning from the company. Now I'm worried if I should continue using blackberry. Sometimes I think that fate keep messing with me. Because this issue is giving me another reason not to get a blackberry. Even some of my colleagues have abandoned the Blackberry in favor of the Iphone. *sigh* What to do.....

With all that filler stuff they filled the anime, I'm beginning to wonder how close the story is to the manga.

I think everyone forgets to realize that in our eyes, the Guyvers are the good guys, but in their world, Guyvers are the outlaws and Cronos are the good guys. Come on, how will people perceive a leader when nobody get's sick anymore, nobody gets hungry anymore, there are no more wars and the world is united? Politics is gone. I'd say that Cronos is doing a damn good job managing the earth. It just so happens that there are also bad guys inside Cronos riding on the good will of the organization, which ironically, puts Cronos in a bad light. I think that given a chance, Shou and Archanfel could work together. We have never seen them face to face and have a difference of opinion. It has been a stereotype that former enemies become comrade in arms, which in the case of Guyver was no exception (Aptom). Apollon taking the Segawa's leaves more questions than answers. If Apollon is Alchanfel, he would be surprised to see Guyot alive. If Apollon is Imakarum, he would have taken out Guyot, as weak as Guyot is right now, his ambition is a dangerous weapon. Krumegnik and Jabir are idiots for using Guyot. With the events happening as they are, I would predict that Aptom was able to save Natsuki. We saw Aptom de-invisible himself, so it is possible he softened Natsuki's landing while invisible before appearing in front of everyone. Besides, who would want to bury someone while a flaming mansion is behind you. That's outright disrespectful to the dead.

I find it funny that nobody wants to accept Apollon as a new player. Maybe he is a clone of Alchanfel that the Advents left sleeping, and was only recently reawakened due to the re-activation of a navi-sphere. Who knows, since we are all speculating, might as well throw in some crazy ideas. Maybe there are still other relic ships that Cronos haven't found yet.

I will remain a skeptic. Having the abilities of Imakarum still doesn't prove anything. If anything, it just proves that Apollon can imitate the powers of the Zoalords, like how he imitated Carleons. How are we so sure that is even a spiral crusher? But then, what use would he have for the Segawa siblings. I can only think of one thing, as a bargaining chip for the guyver. If he wished to help the siblings, he wouldn't have taken them like that. I think.

Oh, with long pages like that, I think it's better if I use better judgement. If I find the story substantial enough, perhaps I can have it posted even without completing a chapter. I did say that I'll do 1 whole chapter at most. Since I'm the one translating, unless there is someone else willing to translate, you guys have no choice but to follow my lead right? Anyway, that's my suggestions and is still open to any others.

I've read somewhere that fans have speculated that this movie might link to Alien. But Ridley Scott is very adamant in keeping the plot a close secret. We'll only know what this is when it is shown. Hopefully this will be another great one from one of the great directors.

I think I might have a solution to this. I will only post the transcribed version here. Once enough pages or at most one chapter is done, that is the only time I will start translating. This might give enough satisfaction to those who are clamoring for more information, instead of the bits and pieces that are previously provided. Here now are the transcribed script from page 16-17. If anybody is curious, you are free to take a stab at using google translate.

Ok then, translate it is. But like I mentioned, there are certain text that are blurred and I can't make out what it says. Particularly some of the text in the publisher information. The image is somewhat rasterized too. I'll see what my magic can do.

Okay, do I really have to translate the next remaining pages? I can say now that those pages are indeed ads for the telephone cards and the figures themselves. Not to mention that the quality of the images are somewhat blurred that it's quite difficult to read some of the lines. (Not to mention me being usually lazy and all).

Being in a car accident is always a pain the in backside. Especially with insurance, it's the job of the agents to make sure you have a hell of a hard time to discourage you from claiming the coverage. My last accident was no longer covered by my insurance. Good thing that the person who hit me agreed to make the repairs for me. I'm not sure if you call this biased or coincidence, but majority of the car accidents I was in involved women drivers. The last one that hit me was a woman.

Oh hell, might as well to finish the whole prologue. Page 12 Shou made a sigh of relief. The stink, was definitely the fault of the white smoke coming from the corpse. It was already finished, with an eerie remains, when seen was already dissolved. [shou are you alright?] Tetsurou raced forward. [Am I.... really whole? Is there anything strange anywhere?] [Aah, just like before] Tetsurou nodded with relief. [....what..happened...] Shou muttered. Tetsurou seemed to answer, [Look!] Pointing behind Shou. Behind him was the pond. On top of it, was a humanoid figure standing serenely. Barely touching the surface of the water. There was no mistake, the [thing] that wrapped around Shou's body just now. It was falling out, was Shou's hunch. Watching over the two, like something controlling the [thing], it slowly sank into the middle of the pond. Page 13 Standing without bubbling, the surface of the water became calm. The corpse of the monster was already gone, not even traces of it remained. The proof of whatever happened here, there were nothing left. He might have been dreaming. Shou thought absentmindedly. Knowing that this was reality, was the thing of the past. Still, what was that [monster] that he defeated, right now Shou doesn't have the composure to notice it.

Now comes the part where I request for aid in completing the PTW. I may be able to find images corresponding to the rider forms and different riders, but I might need help in searching for suitable mugshot images for the characters. Any takers?

another stupid question. How do I upload image? I learned that they added another member in the Kamen Rider Girls (Fourze) and I can't upload the image. I also plan to update the image with better poses.
