Shame on me for not writing a review before.This movie was´nt my 1st introduction of the Guyver genre after seeing the t.v serie´s in the late 90´s( i was nuts as a minor aged kid too see such bloodshed), but u definetly like the ´spark ´of the franchise.For the fans keep in mind that the 1st Guyver anime is only based on the 1st 4 chapters of the manga wich some minor changes thats notable in the 1st t.v serie´s from the 80´s 90´s, and that the production was´nt a milliondollar company but a small studio with limited resources. Storywise i was really intoit, the whole unpredictabillity of the guyver suits and stuff, more interesting was how the very dark twists further in the story, how short it may be get a nice setting that fits after half the film. i liked the art somewhat, though u have to be used too see 80's 90's handdrawn anime like me but that once again differs for the viewers.For the soundtracks it gave the suspense to what an 80's anime should be, especially when the Female guyver dies, and a bit of rockmusic ofc. All of the ordinary charachters involved have something special to themselve's aside from Sho Fukamachi (the guyver) as for the villians, i mean by that the personality that was given to them, and no girls screaming over the damn place like helpless sluts! each of them acted like real evryday humans.

the t.v show inproved the storyprogressing of the manga and of the art , they kept the strength of most of the charachters alive although sometime's it dropped time to time.
