Looking for an update-Latest Guyver series

~~AquaParade~~ · 11-07-2007, 12:22 PM

Hey everyone, last year i was able to catch about 6 of the redone guyver episodes. I was pretty impressed. Good animation, but I couldnt tell yet if i appreciated it more then the original 12 parter. For those who saw all 26 episodes, how would you compare them. And I'm also wondering if they decided to continue on with the series? anybody know?....

P.S.(?) I didnt think this was worth starting a new topic over, but has anyone had a chance to see if the new devil may cry anime is any good?

The Guyver series accomplishes much more than the OVAs did, and have a few original storylines in it, Guyver II for example is a recurring villain for much longer than he actually is in the Manga or OVA.

I have the first 6 DVDs (7th and final volume came out on Tuesday but I haven't found it yet).

Fantastic series and an improvement over the OVA in every conceivable way.

The animation is beautiful and the decompressed storytelling finally does the series justice. Characters are cleanly fleshed out with intricate backstories and origins. You actually give a damn about them.

The villains are more than cardboard cutouts. The aforementioned Wesker/Guyver II is a regular villain for the first 12 episodes (as opposed to the OVA series, where he appeared and died in one episode). Aptom also gets a pretty big role as villain toward the end. Guyot, Balcus and the Hyper Zoanoids all have deeper personalities and are more menacing. And as for new villains, the 12 Zoalords appear in all their glory toward the end.

This is hands down the best interpretation of the Guyver to date and one of the few animes to come out in recent years that I've actually given a damn about.

You'd definately be doing yourself a disservice by skipping it.

Considering how much I enjoyed other forms of the guyver(besides the live action ones

) I could not be more convinced. Thanks guys.
