good back-story, and good acting

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This is by far the better adaptation of one of the greatest manga series on the planet. Take the monsters anime and special fx and, Out of Control is a perfect example of how the world is like today. I can't help but feel sorry for Sho though: The armor takes over him, he was unconscious during his first kill so I can imagine the shock that he has when he realized what he was and what he did. His friends get shot right in front of his eyes in public. His girlfriend gets kidnapped by an evil organization that seems to have operatives both human and zoanoid in almost every media outlet and civil service and want his power and to top it off he gets his ass kicked by a girl that despite working for that company seems to want to kill him rather than take him alive which the superiors want. aside from that this is a pretty decent movie.

(warning may contian spoilers)This is a great movie, the animation is good for being from 1987.However I thought that bit with Valculra was too much, all she seemed to do was lose her clothes. There was some nudity in this film. There are two familar characters in this film, Sho and Mikzuki. I thought it was creepy when his two friends got killed right in school they also never really explained how they kidnapped Mizuki.The guver armor is cool but the part with valcura and the doctor who says (have you always had those two tumors on your back?) that was weird I mean isn't that woman a doctor so why would she ask valcura that? There is also guyver #3 in the movie who appears later in another guyer series. Whether this movie and the rest of the saga are connected I don't know. rating 8 out of ten.

I saw Out of Control along time ago, and recently bought it on Ebay.I had heard that this OAV (Only Available on Video)is how the Guyver creators wanted it to be, and its animation is at least 10 times better than the Bio Boost manga series.It is also incrediably dark and almost scary. The Bio booster series had some cute and some funny moments, and was full of different characters, while this short film however, has anything but. Sho Fukamachi is still the main character, but gone are Agito, Tetsuro and any of the characters you met along the way. Mizky is still Sho's love, and that is also sharply brought more into focus. Chronos also seems more powerful in this episode... we see the Special task teams sent out to get the lost Units, we also see Zoanoid Cops, crooked Government Officials, and most impressively, Guyver II is female. (Oh, and does she ever give Guyver I a butt whoopin!!)Guyver III makes a special appearance at the end, but we are never clued in as to whom he may be, as this was never further developed.The whole episode also shows the true downside of being a super hero, where as the series makes you think of how great it would be to have these powers. For example some of Sho's close friends are wiped out while right in the middle of school and Mizky is kidnapped only to get Sho to reveal he is the Guyver.The last scene also shows the difficult choice Sho must make if he wishes for his loved ones to return to a normal life.

I searched all over for this video, and I was greatly disappointed when I watched it. It's a very dark anime. I would say it's more horror than action. Don't expect anything like the series Bio-Booster Armor. The animation quality is the only thing it has that's better than the series. Get the episode tapes. This OAV is not very good.
