 Mutronics the beginning July 13, 2003

If your a die hard fan then this movie is for you. As happens with most main stream films numbers of poeple have seen Guyver "The Dark Hero" but very few have even heard of "Mutronics", which is a shame as the movie answers a lot questions left open in GTDH. The action sequences in Mutronics may not be up to the fast paced fights in GTDH but they are well correographed and put together. I would reccomend this film to anyone who has seen GTDH or the Manga equivelant as it is a great insight into the whole Guyver series.

Data 1 shows the begginings of Yoshiki takayas dark saga. The animation isn't Akira but it is passable. What you'll stay for here is the story. Maybe a bit slow to get off with but when the Guyver first appears you'll be hooked. This episode is vital to the series as it shows the main characters as they go about their day to day lives before they discover whats really going on behind the scenes. It also gives a footing on the changes that Sho must go through before he eventually accepts his destiny as the Guyver.

When the Chronos corporation uncover three Guyver units in an archaeological dig, they believe their campaign to tighten their already iron grip on the world is complete. However one of their rogue operatives steals the units and inadvertently loses them. High school student Sho Fukamachi finds one of the units and accidentally activates it causing him to be blessed with near indestructible armour and powers beyond his wildest dreams. But the blessing soon becomes a curse for Sho and the people close to him as Chronos stop at nothing to recover their lost treasure.Based on the Manga by Yoshiki Takaya, "Genesis of the Guyver" is the first of a twelve volume release from Manga Entertainment. The Guyver was based on a comic strip which was published in Tokuma Publishing's Shonen Captain magazine and it became an instant hit among fans of the magazine. The rights to produce the animated series were quickly snapped up by the massive Bandai toy company and there then followed the Japanese release of "Guyver - Out of Control", a 55 minute OAV based loosely on the comic books. The success of this OAV lead to the production of two series of Guyver videos which adhered to Takaya's original vision more closely. "The Guyver" is one of the most underrated anime series in existence. It follows a young man's struggle to come to terms with the power he has been given and charts his plight to protect the people he loves from an evil corporation who are above the law. I rate this series on a par with legendary titles such as "Neon Genesis Evangelion" and the Macross saga. The voice acting, as is par for the course in dubbed anime movies, is nothing short of dire and the animation isn't exactly "Akira" but it's the story and the characterisation which make the series what it is.

This is the first episode of the The Guver series. Its approx 25 minutes long and despite it being relly cool its pointless. Why? i hear you ask! Ill tell you why! Cos you can get episodes 1-4 on a single video for the same price as this single one! So unless you are a fruit cake and want each one induvidually (like me) get the video with episodes 1-4 on it. Anyway this is classic stuff never the less. I especially like the bit where the two monsters are fighting and one calls the other one a "S*1t" Ha!! Take that you inferior monster bloke!! Quality!

The Guyver was released in Japan in 1989, but released by Manga Video in the UK in 1994. As you can see, Japan is five years ahead of us in everything they do. Especially 'cartoons.'
The Guyver is possibly one of the best sci-fi anime next to the likes of Akira, Ghost In The Shell, and (shutters)... DBZ. It also has a uniquely dark, embryonic atmosphere that alot of anime don't have... and is pretty scary if you're a kid and watching it. If you like cartoons and sci-fi, get it.
