Synopsis

Shou and his friend, Tetsurou, stumble upon a strange orb-like mechanism, the Guyver Unit, in the woods. It physically bonds with Shou and turns him into the alien soldier, Guyver. His mission is to protect the Guyver Unit from the Japanese corporation known as Chronos. They are after it and two other units just like it. To retrieve the object, they send out vicious monsters known as Zoanoids. So no one is safe in Shou's life; not even himself.

A choice quote from this series: "I don't want her to know... that my body is surrounded by a bio-booster monster."

Firstly, I would just like to say that this anime adaptation of the Guyver manga is incomplete.

The Guyver Volume 1 is the first six of a twelve episode series loosely based on Yoshiki Takaya's manga. The anime has gained a huge cult following over the years.

I on the other hand just can't agree with that.

The Guyver is a sci-fi action series which in my view succeeds in two areas. This would ...
