Initially, the Guyver was released by
Manga Video as a monthly video comic. As marketing ideas go it's a
bit of a nightmare, but actually proved stunningly effective - it
was in the HMV top ten for a good while, and went a long way
to giving anime some
mainstream publicity.
The story concerns schoolboy Sho, and his chance encounter with a
control medallion, which just so happens to embed itself into his
brain, activating the Bio Booster Armour Guyver when he gets stressed.
Unfortunately the Chronos corporation want to get their hands on it,
and have some rather handy humans who morph into monsters ready to
chase after it.
Basically this is a monster slasher for teens - tons of blood
and messy snapping limbs for the discerning adolescent in the family.
The animation is basic, the plot inconsequential and the scripting
basic, but I found myself relatively intrigued by it.
If your idea of a good night is getting hammered and watching ugly
brick cack houses beating seven bells out of each other, you need
help. You could also use this series, it's perfect for you ^_^
6/10 - Mindless but fun, with good designs

The
Generator Gawl TV series visits similar themes of monster armour,
butt kicking and feisty teens in high school. so if you like The Guyver,
you'll love this!
