>>24012042Rip.
>>24012042That’s unfortunate but also not surprising
>>24012042Damn...
Pour one out for Guyver, joining the ranks of other great manga that won't get finished
>>24012042This is false, we all know he's a successful dentist making millions ;____;
>>24012042That's rough.
>>24012042>New Guyver Chapters never everFeels bad man!
>>24012042That's terrible news, but understandable on the author's part. RIP indeed.
>>24012042At least we have closure, I guess. We don't have to wait and hope any more, we can just give up.
>>24012042shame really though I've seen manga get left on much worse cliffhangers than where Guyver ended up
Sorry galenos you will never come out of the memory hole
Where the fuck did the rumors about him being a dentist even come from? The story was always that his assistant died and he was so devastated that he went "back" to dentistry.
I hope euthanasia is legal in Japan. Not a fan of late 80s gore or Toku, but wouldn't want anyone to go through this.
>>24012042Well now I rightfully feel like a prick for being upset he stopped. That sucks he's going through all that.
>>24012042Jesus that's heavy. Poor guy.
>>24012693No need to feel bad, you couldn't have known. At least we finally got a real answer, though.
I wonder if he would be open to someone else continuing the work with him consulting
>>24012042Sad to hear.Only seen some of the animated adaptations but it was one of my earliest gateways into anime when it was shoved on the sci-fi channel or something.
>>24012586It's weird cause there were rumors about his health declining for years before the dentist rumors took over.
Holy shit, twitterfags!Isn't it too soon to ask for a localization?
Why does this keep happening? Is there something in manga ink?
>>24013228Manga artists are notorious for overworking themselves and not taking care of their health due to overwork and stress. It's a vicious cycle.
I hope we can get a new anime adaptation or some kind of Guyver anthology manga that will at least offer some kind of ending or a sense of closure.
Wow, that blows. Is the blu-ray itself worth buying if I already have the DVD? I've heard some less-than-flattering things about the video quality.
Anyone read zeorymer? Is it any good? I'm not into the hentai aspects but don't mind them if the rest of the story is interesting at least. Any more takaya would be great right about now.
>>24012042Why did he get it? Smoking?
>>24014522The hentai scenes in the original arent very good but theyre kind of superfluous anyway (the whole icicle thing was silly). The story escalates quickly and the characters are kind of thin because of how short the manga is but the mecha action is good, its like the fight where guyver 3 bullies 2 zoaloards except zeorymer does that all the time. The ova has an alternate story so you can watch it as a bonus, but i never read zeorymer omega.
>>24014652Smoking wouldn't help, but there's a bunch of risk factors (the usual ones) and ischemic strokes are very common in general.
>>24014522Just watch the OVAs, the manga has tons of nonsensical lolisex that takes away from the plot. People always meme the icicle scene but there's a lot more shit like that, like a scientist making a loli to store a data box in her womb, so of course he dicks her down to retrieve it. The actual mecha action is the only worthwhile part and the OVA does it better
>>24014963The opening of the OVA gave me major Giant Robo vibes, that and the fact that its mechs vs feudal Chinese warriors like GR too.
Now that I think about it, what if VIZ reclaimed the Guyver license?
>jokes made for years that animated adaptations of Guyver just stop right on a huge cliffhanger>now the manga itself just stops on a huge cliffhangerIt's a real shame. Guyver is fucking rad even if the fanbase can be a little unhinged.
>>24012042on one hand I feel for himon the other ffs at least tell the guy "okay so the giant one blows up Earth, but then... " and get the gist of it out there
>>24015755Whatever plans he had probably got scrambled with the infarction and he probably doesn't even know just how much he remembers is stuff from before it or what order his plans were. Scary, depressing shit.
>>24016823>>24015755I have an ex who suffered one of these years ago. Sometimes she doesn't remember what she was talking about halfway through a sentence. Her personality changes every few weeks. It's rough stuff
>>24016823>>24016833Yeah, brain shit can fuck you pretty hard in ways that are thoroughly debilitating and difficult to understand without first or near-hand experience. That said, most people have good days and could at least do a rough outline, possibly dictated.
>>24012042I don't get it, why hasn't Takaya sensei made an official statement about is in his native Japanese? Are cerebral infractions really that stigmatized in Japan?
>>24017612They are just much more private about these things and don't pry.
>>24017612>Are cerebral infractions really that stigmatized in Japan?Are you retarded
>>24017612the only reason dead people stop working in Japan is because it's a big stigma to have it become public knowledge that you're no longer alive
>>24017612>I don't get it, why hasn't Takaya sensei made an official statement about is in his native Japanese?Probably because no one in Japan bothered to ask him.
>>24016823Makes one wonder why he didn't keep paper or digital notes of his drafts, or even just have a shadow writer/mangaka pick up where he left off just enough to bring the story to conclusion.Or heck, allow an anime studio to just make an original ending based on where the manga leaves on a cliffhanger.
>>24018553Guyver probably wasn't popular enough anymore to warrant any of that. It's a series that has dragged on since the 80s, the last anime didn't do so hot, and it mainly survived on super premium statue figures
It's a real shame but honestly I gave up on it ever continuing a long time ago.
>>24012588Why would you hope that?
>>24021433Because he's bought into the scientism death cult delusion that life is meaningless and it's better to kill yourself than experience suffering.
>>24021516Don't reply to the negrobumper.
>>24012042Shame that happened to him. Hope he's been able to find some comfortable way to live.
