I hope to god 4Kids don't get thier hands on this

Still, this is great news, The Guyver was a huge success in the states and Europe, even if it's first series lasted only tweleve episodes, what was even more sad was that the Manga was cancelled rather callously by Japan, let's hope this time the most underated manga character ever gets his due...

Did David Hayter ( Solid Snake, MGS ) play the voice for Guyver in the second movie (not the one with Mark Hammil), or was he in an anime adaptation? I thought it was the feature film, but after reading some stuff online I've gotten confused.

Hayter starred in the second movie "Dark Hero" as The Guyver's human identity, and voiced him when he transformed

I know there was an older thread about this, but i wasnt sure if i would be necro posting or not so anyways. Ive seen the first 18 episodes of this new series, and its AMAZING! sadly only the first 5 episodes were subbed, so i didnt understand the rest, but the animation is really great.

If anyone here is a guyver fan, you should definitely try to find the episodes.

thanks to whomever combined the threads. i didnt want to step on any toes. by posting in this thread. so thanks for combining it.

I feel like an idiot! I misread it and thought it was a MacGuyver cartoon. Hope that crap doesn't come back.

I did too!

So what is this anime about? Judging from the pictures, it looks kinda like another "ripoff" of Neon Genesis Evangelion (which I *THINK* was first of its kind, and spawned many many imitations... correct me if I'm wrong.), what with the heroes piloting various gigantic mechas and fighting monsters.

So.. I guess that's the "action" aspect.. but what is the story?

No, it's not a ripoff. The Guyver was around way before NGE was, the Guyver appeared in 1986. It's about this guy who finds a Guyver-unit, which allows him to transform into a being only known as "The Guyver", which is about human size, fast, strong and shoots lasers and all that. It's a so-called Biomechanical Armor.

Of course, some people want that armor for themselves, so the send all sorts of other bio-ingeneered creatures after the Guyver.

I dont know how to work those SRT things. ive been trying to figure them out. theyve been giving me a huge headache.

good informative post anarky.

I decided to just make one big Guyver thread. I remember watching the original 12 epidsode Bio-Booster anime, and I loved it to death. Did anyone else remember watching it. I've now been hearing for some time, that they are making a brand new Guyver series. I have also heard that they are taking the original 12 episodes and re-making them with more episodes and a continued story-line. Does anyone know if these are one in the same, or have any other information on The Guyver series??

[ZariusTwo]

They've made it. First season is finished. Twenty Six episodes. Expanded on the story more than the OVAs did, and changed a few things around (such as Guyver II surviving until Chronos Japan is destroyed)

[AquaParade]

Does anyone know if a second season will be coming? Hows the first season so far compared to the original 12 episodes (by far, my favorite anime's of all time)?
And hows it doing in Japan? Well enough for a few more seasons I hope. I really hope they do a well translated english dubbing and pack it for dvd over here in the states sometime soon, with the first season and future seasons.

Just trying to keep it bumped...
guess no one knows?
