The Guyver: Out of Control

We promised a small review of all Guyver releases, here is the first ever Guyver, released in 1987. A great original, only available in VHS format. Every Guyver fan and most real science fiction anime fans should get this while it is still available.

Directed by Hiroshi Watanabe who has worked on anime such as Star Ocean EX. This movie was created in Bandai Studios, everyone knows Bandai, we don't have to mention anything about them.

The story is based on manga of the Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor. Although in this movie, it's Sho's sweetheart Mizuki, in the scene where Sho acquires Guyver Unit. In manga it's his best friend and Mizuki's brother Tetsuro. Also in original manga and other anime, Guyver Unit II are males. In this movie the Unit II is acquired by a female. The story is really short pretty short, so we won't spoil any of it for you.

There are only a few characters in this movie, but even those are extremely well designed. Mizuki could have had more work done on her character, like the female Guyver. She shows off enough nudity to make this movie erotic at times.

Think back 20 years ago, if you were born and old enough to see Guyver: Out of Control, you would have been blown away by it. Even know the animation looks pretty good and detailed. With lots of slashing and ripping off arms, the fight scenes may repeat somewhat, but in never devalues the animation. The lighting on the Guyver armor, the thunder effects – they look pretty cool. It is a must-watch legendary action for any Guyver fan.

We love themes of old anime. The way they sing about characters in the story. This one is no different, great theme. The voices of pain were a bit off, but we can't have everything in one short one hour film.

So there you have it, a little Guyver: Out of Control review. This great classic is a must-have or watch for any super hero anime fan, science fiction fan, monster fighting and gore fan, not to mention Guyver fan. This film is not for kiddies it contains nudity and extreme violence. Good old Guyver, it made us wonder, would Casshern defeat Gigantic Guyver?
