Summary:
A test type Zoanoid, disguised as a normal man, escapes from an organization called the Chronos Corporation with a bag containing three items called the Guyver Units. Chronos soldiers attempt to recover the units from the test-type but are unsuccessful; the test-type was discovered with a grenade in his possession and used the grenade, killing himself and scattering the Guyver Units around the area. Meanwhile, two young high school students, ShÅ Fukamachi and TetsurÅ Segawa come across one of the lost Guyver Units. Curious as to what the unit is, ShÅ accidentally activates the unit which then merges with him, becoming "Guyver I." Now, ShÅ must fight for his life and those that are close to him against Zoanoids sent by the evil Chronos Corporation that are in pursuit for the Guyver Units.
The Remake of 'Guyver - The Bioboosted Armor' is a really good series. Rather than just being refined the animation of the series was completely redone, which gave it an invigorating freshness. The story had more depth to it than the original movies and was extended further. Some of the original 'Guyver Movie' fans dreaded this new, updated and modified series without even giving it a chance, but most of us welcomed it with open arms so we could reminisce in this awesome story and our days of watching it in the 90's. It has plenty of Gore, intense action, great voice actors and a bit of nudity and foul language to round it off - great qualities for an anime for older viewers (or 8year olds in the 90's).
Although the anime did have a con - THE ENDING!. The last few episodes were, let's be frank - exceptionally shitty. As well the ending was left open which left viewers and fans asking 'what the fuck just happened?' and - 'are you going to fix this with a second season?'
Overall, myself and many others enjoyed the series and strongly recommend it to previous 'Guyver Movie' fans, and/or those who haven't seen/heard of the series, and are looking for something a bit different, with plenty of action, gore, and a descent story.
