Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

RyothChatty ridiculous rating

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

poe426 The GUYVER series is a textbook example of what can (and often does) go wrong when anime is translated for "American audiences" by American filmmakers who don't have a clue. The first six episodes of this series (the only six I've got) are light years ahead of what was being hacked out in this country around the same time. Vastly entertaining (especially when compared to Americanimation), the GUYVER stories unfold in a sometimes suspenseful, often frightening, but always- always- entertaining fashion. The Japanese storytellers don't talk down to their audience(s) the way the clueless Americanimators do. The dubbing is sometimes not as dramatic as one might like (something sometimes gets lost in translation), but it's still far superior to the live-action version of THE GUYVER (with Mark Hamill in the lead!).

dee.reid "Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor," an Anime' adaptation of the hit Manga created by Yoshiki Takaya, is a good effort but is not particularly memorable in many ways. I'm a huge fan of The Guyver, which you could consider the Japanese equivalent of Spider-Man because you can see the great amount of stress placed upon the hero in his battles against evil.But "Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor" doesn't really hold you the way it should. I guess for the time it was on television (the late 1980s), it was good for what it was but when compared to the Manga itself and the far superior 2005 series, it simply pales because not a whole lot was done with it and plus it condenses much of the material, so it seems rushed and important, or key, character-driven scenes are lost and don't really connect with one another. The writing doesn't seem all that good either, so the dialogue seems a bit hokey (which could be because of the American dubbing). The animation is what "Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor" has working best in its favor, although that too seems dated.The plot: high school student Sho Fukamachi accidentally activates an alien suit of armor, called a "guyver" unit, that transforms him into an exponentially enhanced mechanized warrior with a vast array of weapons, powers, and abilities. He becomes the quarry of the Chronos Corporation, a powerful conglomeration with designs on world power. Sho uses the Guyver's abilities to square off against Chronos and its army of shape-changing foot-soldiers, the Zoanoids, human mutants that can turn into monsters at will. He must use the Guyver to defeat Chronos and the Zoanoids while protecting his friends and family from their terrible onslaught.6/10

The_Missus The Guyver OAV is a great series, don't be put off by the original "Out of Control" anime, this is a lot better, and gets you right into the story. You follow Sho Fucamachi, his best friend Tetsuro, and the girl of his dreams Mizuki as he battles against the evil Chronos corporation who want the Guyver Unit that has bonded with him. Along the way they find an ally in Guyver 3 (the coolest of all the Guyvers) and help from the mysterious Mr Murikami.. just what powers does he have? This was one of the first anime series I've seen, and it's excellent, even if you know nothing about the genre, it has a great storyline, and the revelations in the last few episodes are especially gripping. The animation isn't great, but it's 10 years old now, so give it a break! Enjoy :)(apologies for bad spelling of Japanaese names! I have the dubbed verion ;))

framer94 The Guyver sets out the story of Aliens that landed on Earth millions of years ago, creating and developing life on Earth. The Chronos corp. set up an acheological dig, and recovered the aliens lost technolodgy to create bio-morthic monsters called "zoanoids." They also acquired 3 individual power units known as "Guyver" that transform the user into a powerful combatant mech. In modern day Tokyo, a test subect escapes from Chronos, Japan, and takes the 3 units with him in ransom to salvage his stolen humanity. During the pursuit of the test zoanoid, a bomb is triguired by him, and blows the units out of sight, at random locations. A young boy called Sho Fukamachi uncovers one, and bonds with it to become "Guyver I." Sho soon finds himself up against Chronos' bio-morthic mutants, and learns that they wont stop pursuing Sho and his loved ones until the units are back in their possession. The Guyver portrays an epic story filled with sorrow, anger, vegeance, and teh struggle to live as a normal "human being." The Guyver is indeed one of the memorable animes ever produced, although people have different tastes, and might disagree with me. The Mech design and armour is beautiful in it's own way, and each episode has crisp, gothic animation. The first six episodes is worth checking out if your into anime, mech, or even Japanese robot shows, but the remaining six is another matter...Watch DATAs 1-6...NOW!!!
