Guyver Discussions [merged-3]

[Guyverjay]

26 eps isn't enough, the manga is ongoing, I want Naruto, Dragonball, Inu yasha, Ranma, One piece type episode numbers here

 

[kong87]

Does anyone know a site where I can get some guyver figures from other than ebay, I already have guyvers 1,2 and 3 from maxfactory but I am looking to expand my collection.

 

[anarchistguy]

Btw those of you who are looking forward to seeing Arkenphal in action might be dissapointed. This series only goes up to the fight between sho and his father/enzyme 2 apparently. So maybe the intro is exactly that, and we'll maybe see more of the zoalords in the next series?

Wrong. The Guyver 1 vs. Enzyme 2 fight will happen when the series is 50% done, not at the end of it.

 

[GYUVER]

Is guyver 2 Lisker or is it Valcuria like in the old OVA?

 

[anarchistguy]

Lisker is Guyver 2 in this TV series.

[relieved tone]
oh, thank god!

 

[GYUVER]

Lisker is Guyver 2 in this TV series.

Hoyeah nice!

 

[gregtestagent]

gotta love that!

 

[gregtestagent]

I wonder if someone could make an avatar out of those?

 

[kong87]

Found this whilst searching for guyver info.thort it was quite good

Well guess that didn't work.
I was just wondering whether anyone will be kind enough to post a link for the 2nd episode?

 

[gregtestagent]

whatever image it was just save it and upload it at imageshack. Then take the code, the last one at the bottom, and copy/paste it here and slap on the brackets.

I guess Guyver doesn't beat Superman :D

I got the info from this translated interview

(Original source: http://www.wowow.co.jp/wowani/check/50617/contents.html)

It's finally here--WOWOW's original anime series, "Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor", will begin airing on Saturday, August 6. Post-recording is going smoothly. We've dropped in at the studio at the end of the post-recording session for Episode 3 to bring you an interview with the the director and the cast!

Back row, from left:
Takaguchi Kousuke (as Segawa Tetsuro)
Konishi Katsuyuki (as Makishima Agito)

Front row, from left:
Mizuki Nana (as Segawa Mizuki)
Akiyama Katsuhito (Director)
Nojima Kenji (as ***amachi Sho)

To begin, please tell us about the characters that you are playing.

Nojima Kenji (as ***amachi Sho):
I'm Nojima Kenji, playing the role of ***amachi Sho. Sho is, well, ordinary--not just completely ordinary, but a boring and almost empty person; in general, he's not terribly exciting. I wonder if his being like an empty vessel is the very reason why he had a chance encounter with that thing known as the Guyver. The Guyver wormed into him, and that's all she wrote. I'm sort of trying to capture this vessel-like existence as I play Sho; but by coming across the Guyver, I personally think that he may become more psychologically developed. I'm not the director, so I don't know the full details, but that would be what I'm thinking.

Mizuki Nana (as Segawa Mizuki):
I'm Mizuki, playing the role of Mizuki (laughs). She's childhood friends with Sho; they, along with her older brother, Tetsuro, are a team of friends who've played together ever since they were little. She secretly has feelings for Agito, the president of the student council; meanwhile, Sho also has subtle feelings for Mizuki...but she's completely unaware of it (laughs). Right now, I think that she feels that she'll always be together with Sho as more of a nosy older sister. Since she has no idea that "something terrible is happening", I'm looking forward to how things will proceed in the future.

Takaguchi Kousuke (as Segawa Tetsuro):
I'm Takaguchi, playing the role of Tetsuro. I'm sort of like a big brother to Sho, not to mention that I'm Mizuki's actual big brother. At the beginning, I felt like he's probably kind of like a peacemaker to Sho and Mizuki, but now I don't think mediation is what he does. I feel that in a tight situation, he gets equally uptight. There are times where he's a bit of a scatterbrain, but I think he's a lovable guy. As the only person who feels like an actual human being towards Sho during his fight against the Zoanoids, he gradually grows in every episode. I'm gradually growing too (laughs), so, thank you again.

Konishi Katsuyuki (as Makishima Agito):
I'm Konishi. Since I'm part of the bad guys, Kronos, you might conclude that I'm a bad guy (laughs). But even when I'm among the bad guys, even when I'm among Sho and his friends, I'm not on either side--in other words, I consider him the third power of the series. But that means he's neither good nor evil; I personally think that he's a person has a firm ambition, a vision that he constantly pushes towards. To fulfill his ambition, he's willing to use Sho, as well as use Tetsuro and Mizuki--just about anything he can use, he'll use. If he can use Kronos, he'll use that, too. He puts on one face as a member of Kronos, and puts on another face as the student council president when he's dealing with Mizuki, Sho and Tetsuro...he's a rather complex guy.

Konishi-san, I heard that you've read a lot of the original manga.

Konishi
Yes, I've read it. I read it a long time ago, when I was in Kansai; while I was on the way here (Tokyo) to play a role in an episode, I was thinking: "Ah, I've read this before!", so I read it one more time until I arrived here.

While we think that everyone knows about the original manga without a doubt, it's been 20 years since it was first serialized. At the beginning there was the animated movie, and then there was the OVAs, and on top of that there were even live-action movies made overseas--it's an amazing work. Now that it's being adapted as a TV anime series for the first time, we'd like to ask the director, among other things: What are some significant points in the making of the TV anime, and what is the appeal of the original series?

Akiyama Katsuhito (Director)
We're assuming that we'd cover up to Volume 10 of the original manga with this TV series. Takaya-san, the original creator of the manga, had to constrain what he wants to do and express in each volume of the manga due to pressure from the magazine publisher and other factors; so there seems to be many scenes that could have been fleshed out in more detail. Because of this, an animated movie that runs from one to two hours or an OVA series that runs for above six episodes would be too short. A TV series, however, run for 26 episodes with a 20-minute net length per episode, so I think it will be great if we're able to depict scenes that delve deeper into the story, unlike in an OVA series. So the flow of this series will pretty much follow the original manga, but I think there is a greater emphasis in depicting certain missing character settings, emotions and--as Takaguchi-san puts it--"growth". That's what I think of this TV series. In particular, there's some personal touches added in terms of human relationships.

Spoiler:

There's a duel to the finish between Sho and his father which serves as the climax to the first half of the series, and we're going to make that the focal point of this first half. In order to do this, we carefully depict the relationship between Sho and his father that wasn't described much in the manga; by doing so, I think we can create a sense of empathy and dramatic tension.



To that end, I think Tetsuro-kun's role in this series will also increase substantially. As in the manga, Sho is not really able to express himself; however, unlike the manga, Tetsuro-kun acts as a sort of spokesman who can provide an objective view of Sho during certain parts of the series. So I think Tetsuro-kun's now stuck with a fairly difficult part.

As for Mizuki, she'll get a rival at the second half of the series. The new character that appears, called Shizu, depicts an image of a woman that is completely opposite from Mizuki. Shizu is sharp and intelligent; meanwhile, Mizuki is none of the above (laughs) and there are times where she wonders "What is this for?" I'll guess Mizuki is trying to become a more complete woman, just like Shizu. When this happens, Mizuki starts to strive towards moving forward in life, survival and hope, pushing forward despite anguish and sorrow. This forms an interesting contrast with Shizu, who is philosophical about those things. Depicting these ideas would make for substantial dramatic tension in the second half of the series.

I was wondering, what hasnt Guyver been implemented into the gaming world? Or has it and im just unaware? I mean how much of a great game would it make? especially if like hideo kojima or someone really good got ahold of it =D

you must mean "Why" hasn't Guyver been made into a game. I guess every other stupid-ass anime series has gotten a game some time or another. Guyver would obviously be a action/adventure game. Perfect for U.S. gamers. All the Guyver's weapons come from the suit so you wouldn't need upgrades or picking up new weapons or ***** like that. Flying and fighting in a 3-D environment, as the Guyver, would be a cool experience. This new download is faster than the first. Maybe beacause more peeps are becoming aware.

 

[Guyverjay]

I'd like a guyver game that plays like Metriod Prime

 

[kong87]

Perhaps if this new series catches enough people's attention, then a game company mite pick up on it.
Imagine what a guyver game would look like on the new generation of games consoles, completely immense
