Summary: a cool cartoon but not a masterpiece
Review: Guy is about a boy named Sho Fukamachi who accidently comes across one of three units known as the guyvers unbeknownst to him the evil chronos corporation and it's army of alienic bio weapons known as the zoanoids. The guyver is most powerful of zoanoids chronos lost when a rogue zoanoid steals them and chronos will do anything to retrieve the guyver units. It is good action packed cartoon one that is fun to watch on a saturday afternoon is rather violent but not so much so that it takes away from the story. I liked it because the action and characters were awesome and the plot was in my opinion rather innovative. This is a must see for true anime fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic!
Review: As my title says, this is a fantastic 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 incredible 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 evil Kronos corporation that created the Guyver, along with 2 other Guyver suits. The Kronos corporation wants all the Guyver suits back, and they'll kill anyone who tries to get in their way! The Kronos corporation experiments with people and turns them into horrible monsters called Zoanoids which they use as soldiers. Fortunately, the Guyver has incredible weaponry that Sho uses to fight the Kronos coporation. One of these weapons is the Mega-smasher, the Guyver's most powerful weapon. Sho grabs ahold of two fleshy panels on the Guyver's pectorals, and pulls them open to reveal two powerful lasers which can destroy anything. The Guyver can also make incredibly sharp blades come out of each of it's elbows. With weapons like these, the Kronos corporation had better watch out!

Summary: To be continued....
Review: Did they have to leave us hanging by a thread? If you're going to make a series, take it all the way to the end.

Summary: You Can't Beat The Guyver!
Review: I absolutely love this series, The guyver is one of the best series ever. Sadly, it is one of the most underlooked ones ever. The anime show has stopped and the manga translations have stopped. The series will not continue until there is a signifigant amount purchases SOON! so please get this series, you will not regret it. The anime is great and the story is brillirantly made, if they continue with the translations, you will see some spectaular things. Two words: GIGA GUYVER!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Well Guyver is a very good anime watch it
Review: I really wish people would stop comparing a good series such as guyver to one that is stomach wrenching and with an increbible lack of story line, character actors, voice actors, plot, theme, mood, price such as oh let me see DRAGON BALL Z and other related anime wantabes!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: THE FINAL INJUSTICE! "GUYVER ROCK" BE DARNED!
Review: If you have Volume 1 already, you are no doubt well aware of the changes Manga Video made to the series (music, credits, english voices) but you haven't seen anything yet!
I must admit I have only seen the entire series on its original L.A.Hero and U.S.Renditions VHS releases, and when the Manga Video "Datas" came out, I could only find episodes 4 and 6, so I knew not of what Manga Video had decided to do with episode 12.
Brace yourselves, you may find what you are about to hear hard to believe, but I swear it to be true. Episode 12 was EDITED on the VHS "Data" and so it remains EDITED on this DVD presentation. Let me explain what I mean by EDITED: we all know that Manga changed the opening and closing credits and some of the english voices. All in all, fairly excusable considering the original credits are viewable in the special features menu. But, what is unacceptable and, on inspection, utterly pointless, was their cutting (or rather, trimming) of Mizuki's nude sequence in episode 12. Now, instead of being full-frontal fan service, it is...well, exactly what it was before, only shorter (I mean 'frames' shorter). What lawsuit was filed against Manga that warranted these pointless cuts (You can still tell she gets her clothes ripped off by ZX-Tole and Sho still has to give her his shirt afterwards, so what difference does it make?)? Fear not, though, basement-dwelling-Hentai-collecting-Lara-Croft-oggling miscreants; The full, uncut version of episode 12 is available in the special features menu. Of course, this only begs the question: Why did Manga not just put the uncut version on the disc and let that 'edited' version find a nice new home in the dumpster outside the studio? Frankly, I cannot get past my original question of, "Why was episode 12 edited in the first place? Who were they afraid of getting upset over a nude sequence in an ANIMATED series?" Maybe we will never know. The whole thing digs up more dirt than it is worth, and I sound pretty ridiculous making such a fuss over a nude sequence in an ANIMATED series. But, if the full version is in the special features, why...OH, FORGET IT! YOU WIN, MANGA VIDEO!
Look, if animated nudity offends you, that is fine, just do not watch it. You have eyelids, use them! But editing the content of films is just plain ridiculous, and this edit (or rather, trim) is simply pointless. There, I have said it, I am done now!
Final word: Four out of Five for presentation, Zero out of Five for EDITING/TRIMMING content. Average is Two.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Continuation
Review: If you're a fan of the series up till now this is a great continuation. In this Sho learns that Chronos Japan was just the tip of the iceberg and that the ruthlessness of Commander Rehote Guyo is nothing compared to that of Professor Hameril Valcus the new leader. Great fight sceens and new allies show up in the last episodes of the series. Buy this if you don't have it. Its worth the $11.99.

Rating: 5 stars
