I'll give this a chance, but PLEASE make some effort to start an actual discussion if you're going to make a thread.

Also, your grammar is an abomination.

i heard it just plain sucked. when i was first starting out in anime, friends of mine told me not to watch it. that it's the shittiest of all anime's out there. i couldn' believe it cause when i was starting out, everything i saw awas amazing and awesome.

so i gave it a try anyway and i thought it was ok. it was wierd seeing like real life models of some of the beasts at the end of the show whith some computer talk i guess, but idk. it wasn't as horrible as they made it sounds. but i wouldn't be surprised if it was just a flop in general back in the day as well.

and if it was. i can't understand why they would wanna remake it as they are now.

It came out in 1991. I don't remember how it went, but I've just been reading how crappy people think this movie is.

Apparently, the movie and OVA stain the original "work of art" with fail.

I'll download the movie if I find a torrent and watch it just for old times' sake.

There was:

-A two season 12 episode OVA series from 1989-1992. This was released in the US by Manga Entertainment. It was pretty good for the first 6 episodes, but the second half of the series was utter garbage. Aside from horrible animation, the ending left you on a cliffhanger.

- A 1986 movie called Guyver: Out of Control. This was odd. It featured varying degrees of animation quality as well as the dreaded 80's "Gargantuan Eyes". An interesting twist made the evil Guyver 2 a woman in this adaptation.

- Two american made movies (1991's Guyver and 1994's Guyver: Dark Hero) that are kinda campy, but not bad. The first one should probably be avoided unless you are a fan. The second film is pretty well done and features some nifty fights. This is currently being released by ADV Films

- And most recently a television series that ran from 2005 - 2006. This is probably the best way to check out the series. Great animation and some cool new monsters.

Guyver to me is another property along the lines of Patlabor - there's plenty of bad ass designs to drool over but little else
