They eventually lead me to pick up the animated OVAs from which they were based (which, in turn, was based on the manga series). As a kid, I liked them mostly because it was so rare to see gore and cursing in a cartoon. Now, as an adult, I don’t quite get the same sort of juvenile entertainment out of television. Yet, the Guyver has remained a nostalgic favorite of mine, even if the series hasn’t aged very gracefully.

I’ve been a fan of the Guyver since 1991, when the live action movie was released (though I came to appreciate that film less after I viewed the original anime). Seeing this new Guyver series is a real treat.

The script was admirable at times, cramming the first 6 episodes into 90 minutes, but the tone and atmosphere was all wrong. The original film was played off as a goofy comedy parody, leaving many Guyver fans rather disappointed. Luckily, Guyver 2: Dark Hero came along shortly afterward with story and direction more befitting of the original manga and anime.
