Guyver is a 12 part action horror OAV based on the manga The Bio Boosted Armor Guyver. The series was released in the end of the 80s and beginning of the 90s.
Sho Fukamachi finds an alien artifact that is a weapon owned by the evil Chrono's Corporation. The artifact, the Guyver, merges with Sho, giving him unimaginable power. He must now fight against Chrono's Corporation who want their prized property back. He must battle legions of genetically modified monsters to protect himself and everyone around him.
This is an anime that is a direct descendant of the old live action kids TV shows from the 70's like Ultraman. It is my MOST hated anime...I seriously absolutely despise this entire franchise. Being from the late 80's and early 90's the animation is horrible, let alone the annoying story concept and well, everything. Fuck this show...and fuck the fact the manga is STILL being made!!
This series has come and gone in licensing land in North America. A number of years ago it saw a small TV reboot in Japan and I don't know or care if it ever got picked up. Ignore this series if you know whats good for you.
