The Guyver - Bio-Booster Armor, Vol. 1

Rating:
Summary: Classic
Review: When I was a wee little 4th grader, I discovered this gem at a local blockbuster. This series is just fraught with gore. Episode 5, "The Death of Guyver", to me still has one of anime's goriest moments when we see Sho and Enzyme fight (severed/bitten off limbs, a fragmented head, a brutal impaling & coughing up a crap load of blood, and overload after Sho's control metal is ripped out). Anywhom, this series has a cool plot that is unique enough to not fall under average. An ancient race of people many years ago created 3 guyver units that grant their users the power of the bio booster armor. Sho and his friend Tetsuo are walking in the forest after school as a huge explosion occurs. Out comes a guyver unit and Sho ends up bonding with it. The Chronos company had been trying to retrieve the guyver units, and pursue Sho to obtain his for their needs. This classic is near perfect, but falls slightly short due to the some what off pacing of the series. Regardless, you'll definately dig this if you're into anime or gory flicks.
