Anime AICN has a nice write-up of the new Guyver anime series. Here’s an excerpt:
“Heralded with the tag line “Meet The New Face of Ultra-Violence”. the ideal Guyver is as follows: the situations starts with a straight set-up. Teen hero Sho Fukamachi, his buddy Tetsuro Segawa and his crush Mizuki Segawa are menaced by the operatives of Chronos, a shadowy corporation / conspiracy. Nothing that deviates too far from a minimal plot needed. Confronted by squads of field troopers and 80’s G.I. Joe style uniforms, the point man will take of his helmet, his body will enlarge, then twist, eyes melt, skin rips and features distort into a thick man-beast: a furry bear with stacked muscles and enlarged bat-ears, humanoid dino-slug-eels, or some other muscle pack humanoid chimera.”
Although my only memory of Guyver happens to be the cheesy 90’s “The Guyver” movie that had Mark Hamill in it, Guyver seems to have a lot of fans. Anyone going to check it out?
