Should be interesting to see. As I recall, the original series had a rather definitive conclusion. Hmm.

In case anyone's scratching their head over this "Morio Chimi" name being associated with Guyver, that was a pen name Yoshiki Takaya used when working on adult oriented manga.

I hadn't heard about that manga from last year, so uh, I'm doubly intrigued. Was it an actual conclusion to the original manga?

Yes, this is true. Someone needs to delete the seperate Morio Chimi encyclopedia entry.

It's always nice to see a series re-popularized by SRW get a continuation. Dancougar, Jeeg, Zeorymer... Here's hoping Overman King Gainer is next. That show really needed an actual ending.

The original Zeorymer manga had very little in common with the OAV series that followed.

The manga was very heavy on the adult content and the art was somewhat limited. Not top of the class, lets say.

The anime fixed a LOT of those problems, including introducing vastly better character and mechanical designs. Really, only some basic plot points and rough robot shapes survived to the anime version.

Not clear to me if this new manga is supposed to follow the older manga or the anime. If it's the manga, and all you've see 'til now was the anime or maybe the video games, then prepare to see something that you may not recognize at all.

I truly hope that the upcoming title would be set many years after the OAV events. At least they could modernize the computer systems and the tech era where the manga will be set.

It's interesting that although SRTJ never was translated, it still manage to have a fanbase outside Japan. "Meiou"

Wow, that's surprising. Didn't know that there was more to the series. Of course I was wondering if they were going to get 'Michitaka-san' back for the art.

Y'know I wonder if they are trying to revive the old robot genre.

I have both the original OVAs, I'll have to give them a spin one day. Who knows maybe the follow-up will get an animated version.
