Guyver TV show

[.SentinelPrime Is Dead.]

Has anyone else watched the new show? is it any good?

[Brave Magnus]

There is a Guyver TV show????? Cool!

[.SentinelPrime Is Dead.]

yeah, i just heard about it a couple weeks ago. im looking for torrents to download the episodes. i cant find any though.

[smangerbot]

yeah a new one. so far i've only been able to dl eps 1-5, i dont think 6 has been released yet.

i'm liking it, i've seen the original 12 its pretty much the same story so far, but they've changed quite a few little details and elaborated on the characters. so i guess its more of a retelling of the original series.

the animation is pretty good too and i love the facts they've kept all the orginal character designs. (except for sho's silly sideburns!)

[.SentinelPrime Is Dead.]

oh thats cool. where did you download the episodes?

use the search box in the right hand collumn and search for guyver.

the 5th episode has been out a while, i wonder if they've stopped fan subbing them...

[Liokaiser_bf]

Hmm I saw the first one awhile back, seemed like a new retelling of the old show, I was hoping it was gonna continue where the old one left off.

Still was good though, just I lost the link I had for it. (forum I got it from went to a new server)

[smangerbot]

its a retelling of the old story, and its set to go past the 12th episode of the original series, so eventually it will be finishing thw story. i hope.

[.SentinelPrime Is Dead.]

thanks for the link smanger.

[Valkysas]

the series has gone way past episode 12. its on episode 19 right now.

but only up to 5 has been subbed.

*sigh*

[smangerbot]

thanks for the link smanger.

no worries, i think i got if from Demaar...


so what do you guys think of it so far? i'm a big fan of the original and so far i'm loving the new one.

they've managed to change it but keep the feel of the original, the animation is pretty. I WANT EPISODE 6!

[.SentinelPrime Is Dead.]

I think its great, i just saw episode 18. it was really cool.

[smangerbot]

18?!?!?! in japanese?

[.SentinelPrime Is Dead.]

18?!?!?! in japanese?yeah, it wasnt subbed or anything.

[smangerbot]

ah i take it you speak the lingo. dammit! i want to see 18. do the ep numbers match up, eg. is ep 12 the same point in the story as the original?

[.SentinelPrime Is Dead.]

yeah, everything matches up. just do a bittorrent search for guyver. then download the episodes.

[smangerbot]

well i dont sepak japanese so it'd be a bit of a waste of time for me :)

Ah, the new show. I've seen some of the subbed episodes, pretty neat. Animation is a little lacking though, the original OVAs for their age are superior. Of course, those had a higher budget per episode, so what do you expect?
A few other bits and pieces on the show -
- it's more than likely coming to the US. ADV, I think, or one of the other groups was involved in financing it, therefore it was licensed in production. Main reason there are no fansubs, most groups won't touch a licensed property.
- The anime is meant to be a "more faithful" adaptation of the manga, covering volumes 1 - 10. I'm not sure what that translates to in terms of the original OVA, though the first five episodes roughly cover the events of the first three episodes. That said, there's some major changes compared to the original so if you've seen that you've still got a fair few surprises to look forward to. I have a fair idea, based on the beginning of the first episode, what major events might be covered.
- The series is pretty darn awesome. Can't wait to see the characters hinted at in the first episode in action in the show.

Ive seen both and there isnt so much of a difference.

[smangerbot]

well after the first 5 eps i'm pretty darn impressed. i was worried as i'm a big fan of the original, but i just want to see them all now!

[LigerPrime]

Anyone got the Guyver toys from Maxfactory? They're beautiful with a decent amount of articulation...unfortunately, they're expensive too! :(

[smangerbot]

i've got the 3 guyvers, guyot and aptom. they are pretty pricey, but they are freaking awesome. i don't think i can afford to get any more! allthough i really want a murakami figure. hard to get hold of though.

I have the guyver 1 figure.

[Atomsplitter]

I was actually looking at those figures maybe a month or two ago... i'd love to get one, but damn, they are expensive. I'll probably end up getting one eventually.

[smangerbot]

yeah they are a bit pricey. but in thier favour they are extremely high quality, and very detailed and articulated. just do some damagte limitation and get the 3 guyvers ;)

[LigerPrime]

Sorry for the late reply. Yeah, they are pricey even in Asia! I got Guyver 1, 3, Aptom and the first Zolord. I eventually gave up on them because of the price!

If you endure the way how most of my country "speak", you can check out the thread below for some the latest Guyver figures!

I beg to differ, I just watched 6, and that corresponds to OVA 5, but we've not yet seen ZX Tole, plus Guyver II and Zelebruth are both still alive. Heck, the episode 7 preview even shows Guyver II going after Guyver III, which never happened before.
I kinda like it this way, though :)

[smangerbot]

yeah at least its different enough to warrant watching the beginning again, good move on thier part. has the fansub of ep 6 come out yet?

they are up to episode 22 now. do you have AIM? ill explain how you can watch the raws with subtitles if you want.

[smangerbot]

only msn dude.

[Greyryder]

I've been watching these subs, too. (Up to ep six, now.) I never got to see past the first episode of the old one. They were talking about this over at Macross World. This series is supposed to stay much closer to the original manga, than the old series.

From what I understand, there are other groups doing subs, beside Guyver Fansubs. They're faster, but I've been told that they're not as good.
