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.

 

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!

 

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

 

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.

 

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.

 

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  

 

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  

 

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.

 

only msn dude.

 

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.
