In the forums at animesuki, they have a thread about the "Guyver Project" and I became a member of their boards. Here is another board forum that talks about the volumes 6-8 http://www.chuangyi.com.sg/board/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=si;action=display;num=1112828241

If this is how he'll look in the new series, I'm very impressed. It looks a lot better than the old anime and OAV.
 
I knew about Alkanphel (posted him because that pic desreves to be here) but I didn't know the others. I think the last one looks alot like Primitive Guyver but it isn't him.

can I please get these sites in english!?

here is some press release from somewhere


Popular comic "Strong plant armor Guyver" that exceeds four million totals appears in WOWOW. WOWOW is started, the animated cartoon of Japan is distributed in the United States, and the A.D.Vision Co. of big industry-leading that concluded successfully and the Kakugawa movie and day produce SF action A the book's being serializing to monthly "Boy ace" (Kadokawa Shoten), and putting it on the market up to 22 volumes jointly now. It has already delivered it as the first original and TV animation series in WOWOW in the United States this time in 1994 1991 though the photograph taken from life making into a film is done two times.

Ordinary high school student's gaining suddenly huge power, fight, and transformation hero suffering of story. Overwhelming support has been received by the one with a hit concept current "It worries, and it is a hero of the life-size to which it is puzzled", "Organic mechanism design", and "Big power that cannot be controlled" for the first time. Production company Or ell Em of acknowledged digital animation in an excellent technology demonstrates the advantage of the animation expression to its maximum and this is made an image.

Please expect it of "Guyver" to make good use of the latest imaging technique.

Someone asked if it will be " The generic "Who is going to fansub this series" thread" and one guy said this.


The new Guyver anime is a coproduction between ADV and Kadokawa Pictures (Kadokawa Shoten being the current publisher of the Guyver manga in Japan).

Oh, and see the tall white guy during the Guyver TV press conference announcement? That be John Ledford, ADV's head honcho.

So, it probably isn't a good idea to ask for fansubs of Guyver TV, due to the coproduction deal. And even if there are fansubs, they won't be listed here at Animesuki because here, U.S. coproduction implies that a series is licensed. Finally--even if people fansubbed the show, it's likely that ADV will send them cease-and-desist letters--they did it when people were subbing Gantz before any explicit licensing announcement happens.

I'm gonna keep this Goddamn thread open for as long as it takes.

neoguyver translates the Japanese site
 
I have a question for all Guyver fans: Who would be your ideal director should a Guyver movie franchise become a reality? I'd have to go with James Cameron, especially when I heard he will be filming Battle Angel Alita next year for a 2007 release. I wished he would've taken the Guyver to heart instead because I know the source material is right up his alley. He would do a masterful job, especially with today's technology. Ridley Scott, Peter Jackson, Steven Spielberg, Tim Burton and Sam Raimi are all great but distant seconds nonetheless.

ps the final image is not of an official guyver character it is of 'crucible guyver' a character from the fanfiction 'maverick guyver' also hosted on the guyver net.
 
I loved the Guyver OVA series! It rocked! Good old fashioned 80s Japanimation (I don't call it "Anime".) Back when it was colorful & raw.

But as for the live-action Guyver flicks, it didn't care for them. Don't get me wrong! I love Mark Hamill! He's good in anything. It's not his fault that live-action flicks weren't quite up to snuff like the Ova series was. It's the director and producer's fault!

wouldn't you agree that the second film was better than the first?
 
Ummm......NO! I thought it was worse than the first one, due to lack of Hamill! ;)

your logic astounds me. You probably know this but I recently found out that Hammil got in a car accident and smashed some of his face. It happened a long time ago but I wonder if that might have killed his career as a big star.
 
Hell no! He recovered from it completely. It's not the reason he hasn't "made it" as you would say. He hasn't become a big A-list star because of type-casting. It's hard for people to think of you as something else when your known the world over as Luke Skywalker: Jedi Knight. The same thing happened to Chris Reeves, what with his role as Superman and all.
 
He had the accident before filiming Empire didn't he?:confused:
 
I think it was right after A New Hope. How many comments have youv'e gotten about your avatar GJ?
 
I totally loved the 2nd Guyver film. Especially since you didn't have to follow the first awful one to understand what was happening. Despite bad dialogue, a few cheesey fight scenes & typical f/x, it still rates among one of my favorites. I'd love to see Steve Wang put out a 3rd installment. His costume desighns were terrific! Sorta like a cross between Swamp Thing & Dark Man, with balls!!
 
with the revival of the anime series and continuation of the manga I'd say that another live-action installment is in order.
 
the mangas got alot more to it then whats in the states,it be better to get them at cons and comic shops.The second movie was much better then the first even though its a bit hooky,with the right budjet guyver could be a huge film.
 
For sure! A generous budget with good actors & story would make a great new *Guyver* movie. Maybe you already know this. Did you guys know that David Hayter who was the Guyver in the last film is the same guy who wrote the screen play to the 1st X-Men?

Have you ever read any manga beyond what's been translated? I'm curious to know how the story continues since Viz will most likely never finish it.
they should make Guyver 3 why the hell havent they??
 
ya, that avatar rocks! Lol. I'm guessing there hasn't been a Guyver 3 film because there might not be any interest from film execs. Atleast not here in the USA.
 
Is anyone else looking for new Guyver info? my searching abilities may be limited but that's probably because almost nothing about this "new" Guyver series has been given to the U.S.

here's a little something http://www.akadot.com/article.php?a=340
I think the title of the article is a little misleading though.

"GUYVER: THE BIOBOOSTED ARMOR to be Animated!
Popular manga title's first time to have an animated series"
 
I totally agree with you. & they even used some of his trademark fight moves in the second film (eg; Chest blasting & breaking monsters wrists then frying their eyeballs with his heat vision)
 
It's just that Guyver, although supposedly known in anime as the first of it's genre, is still basically unkown in the U.S.
 
I whole heartedly agree with you.

anyone see the Devil Man live action film? heard it's atrocious
