1.0 out of 5 stars Lame lame and yet more lame, November 8, 2007

I totally agree with the other review. If anything he was being too kind. Two of the episodes are nothing but the yammering and whining of the secondary characters who are well aware that the only thing they can do is hide. The only effect they ever have is to provide hostages to Chronos or prevent the Guyvers from using their heavy weapons for fear of toasting their friends.

When the main characters finally show up the fighting is extremely poor and uninteresting.

I disagree with the other review in one respect: I think the old Guyver series was better than this one in one respect. The old series did not pull its punches when it came to fighting. The old opening showed the Guyver blasting out the eyes and crushing the skull of a Zoanoid. The new series tones down the gore quite a lot and the fights are far less intense.

This new series does have better art, and it does do a better job of explaining what's going on and the back story is much richer. But like the first series it ends leaving virtually every major plotline dangling leaving us with no story closure.

Overall this series is a long and expensive ride going nowhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! A faithful translation from the manga., October 29, 2008

Being a fan of the manga, I couldn't have asked for a better production of the Guyver than this. The 1st series was not faithful to the manga; it was fun, had it's moments but (in my opinion) a mistake. There is so much depth in the manga and to finally see it expressed in this series is just awesome. To people who are not familiar with the manga, it has a rather disappointing ending, and I understand that. To put things in perspective, there are currently 25 volumes (available at Sasuga Books) and this season is at the equivalent of volume 10! I'm optimistic that we'll see a 2nd season, if not I'm still ecstatic that this was made. Read the manga! :-)

I loved this episode, for the fact that I got to finally see the Gigantic! But the reason I rated it only 3 stars was the fact that by the time the Gigantic hatched the fight with Neo-Zektole was over within 3 minutes! I was expecting more, not a whole lot, but just a little more. Another reason I only gave it 3 stars was that the writers have no intention as of last I checked around November 2007, to continue the series. That's twice they've done this. They did it with the previous series that they had started over 10 years ago. But that's my review on this movie. Its still worth seeing, especially for us fans who have been around since the beginning of this whole Guyver idea who have been dying just to see the Gigantic move a finger!!
