As my title says, this is a fabulous series! A normal high school student named Sho Fukamachi comes into contact with an living cybersuit called the Guyver. The Guyver is basically a living creature that merges with humans and gives them astonishing superpowers. Sho has this thing on his shoulders that opens a dimensional portal that the Guyver comes through, then the Guyver wraps itself around Sho’s body (However, we don’t learn that the Guyver comes from another dimension until later in the series.) . However, there is the contemptible Kronos corporation that created the Guyver, along with 2 other Guyver suits. The Kronos corporation wants all the Guyver suits encourage, and they’ll extinguish anyone who tries to collect in their map! The Kronos corporation experiments with people and turns them into inferior monsters called Zoanoids which they exercise as soldiers. Fortunately, the Guyver has astonishing weaponry that Sho uses to fight the Kronos coporation. One of these weapons is the Mega-smasher, the Guyver’s most grand weapon. Sho grabs ahold of two chunky panels on the Guyver’s pectorals, and pulls them launch to state two worthy lasers which can demolish anything. The Guyver can also fabricate incredibly absorbing blades arrive out of each of it’s elbows. With weapons like these, the Kronos corporation had better eye out!
Well, actually objective one thing: Manga Video. Manga Video is to Anime what Obvious Channel is to Radio. That may not sound entirely graceful considering that Manga Video is responsible for bringing us Ghost in the Shell, Perfect Blue, the Patlabor Movies, and now Magic Knight Rayearth (on one disc!), but they are not without their terrible decisions and dreadful calls. Yoshiki Takaya’s Bio-Booster Armour Guyver epitomizes this.

Originally, the episodes were available in six VHS volumes with two episodes each (at about twenty to thirty dollars a pop) with recent opening and closing credits and music. They were released through U.S.Renditions and L.A.Hero. Later, Manga Video revived the series by releasing each episode on its believe videotape (called “datas” and for about twelve to fifteen dollars a pop) which seemed ravishing economical (especially if you were picky about your current episodes) until you actually watched the tapes and found out that Manga video had changed the opening and closing credit music with “Guyver Rock!” If that does not execute you cringe, you are of a stronger will than I. Also, Manga decided to change some of the philosophize actors for the english track (namely the Zoanoid Data files and some of the zoanoids themselves) which should probably not bother anyone, but I contemplate it is mild worth pointing out.
The quality of the transfer is spot-on, which may not exactly be a advantageous thing. We fetch to peep all of the poorly cleaned cels, all the sloppy camera moves, all the discolorations in skin-tones, and all the lousy english-text-boxes laid over the japanese credits. But anxiety not, you can behold and hear the novel opening credits in the special features menu. Why Manga did not unbiased simply expose the credits in their new format in the first area is beyond reasoning, so I have given up trying. My advice for watching: neither the english nor japanese audio tracks are particularly impressive, so unprejudiced hit that calm button, pop in your popular KMFDM album (or whatever you like) and let the images do what they do best.
The highlight of the disc, in my mind, apart from the archival quality of DVD over VHS (which should go without saying) is the complete collection of Zoanoid Data files. Reminiscent of the animation sequences of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (which is the ONLY time you will hear H2G2 and Guyver in the same context), these sequences are informative, imaginative, and give some broad insight into character designs. Yoshiki Takaya did not simply intention monsters and let them go to town on each other, he was trying to gain a universe. If only Guyver’s escapades into the world of audio/visual media did the source material justice.
Final Word: Four out of Five for presentation, Two out of Five for butchery. Average is Three. NOW, ON TO VOLUME 2 AND THE FINAL INJUSTICE!
