Thanks for revisiting this awesome series with your great video! Also, I don't know if you ever got my question, but here goes: What are your thoughts on a Predator combating a Guyver? Or for that matter, if a Guyver were to attack an Alien Hive?
We had 3 dhs tapes growing up and tv was the shit back then so yeah, we didnt watch a lot of popular movies unless it came on cable lol only my other poor friends knew what i was talking about
This movie deserves a modern reboot. With all the cool movies these days this is one I hope gets another chance. Times are better for this kind of hero.
This is everything I’ve ever wanted. I’ve been into Guyver since the 90s and literally nobody ever talks about this stuff. Greatest tokusatsu never made.
9:04 Armor didn't protected them from acid. It was guyver's consciousness. Guyver unit was originally design as uniform of alien, so anyone who wear it will be consider as the master(alien), therefore, the ship will just open an entrance to let them in without attack them. Then, as master(guyver 1) gave the order, ship then allow other members of them enter the ship even they are not wearing uniform(guyver unit), they were consider as master's(guyver 1's) guest. * Acid is contained in/under of the skin of the ship, the liquid fill inside the ship is more like the breathable liquid in womb.. Just like Evangelion.
Can Guillermo del Toro Direct a All New action Science Fiction film called Ultraman Tiga and Ronin Warriors based on the ninth Best Japanese anime television show episodes and series of all time best video of the decade best there is and the best there was and the best there ever will be expected no substitute for excellence And Don't Forget Saber Rider and the star sheriffs
I loved the movie since I was a kid and it still gets me pumped, hearing Shawn say " I Am The Guyver..." I knew of a comic book but could never find it and im glad to find out there is a lore behind the movie. I always wondered if the guyver unit looked different with each human or just alien species like in the second movie.
On a separate note, if _I_ had any input into how the series continues, it'd be like this: 1. Sho and Team Hero would effectively be looking for ways to get stronger, but he'd be focused on finding Mizuki and Tetsuo after Apollon kidnapped them. *NOTE:* I believe Apollon is an agent from the Advents sent to "keep an eye" on Arkenfel, (while also taking back the Zoalord crystals) hence why he took them to Ark's island and left them in a house with him. He may even be able to control Mirabalis, wo is _still_ fully loyal to Ark...but his human memories make him "reluctant" to kill his old friends thanks to Apollon's interference in his programming. 2. KRONOS would be continuing with its plans for interstellar travel and creating ever more effective Zoalords, but the "Factions" among them would be an issue; some being loyal to Ark, some seeking power for themselves on earth, and another looking to head to space for their own agenda...maybe even working _with_ Apollon! 3. The ZL faction backing Guo would look to make use of Valkyria to create "dummy" units to enhance their powers so that they may be able to stand against Ark, and (Val)Kyria would be seeking revenge for the death of her brother (maybe lover) Inspector Lesker. 4. Zeus's Thunderbolts would be seeking ever more power, with Agito getting frustrated as he looks for a way to make his Gigantic go "Exceed", not realizing that it's a direct expression of Sho's pure-hearted intention to protect his friends/the planet, _and_ not his rage or "will", but his imagination, something Agito lacks. Basically, he'd become the Vegeta to Sho's Goku, constantly seeking to 1-up his rival. 5. Sho can _feel_ Mizuki is alive, but has no way to track her and Tetsuo, so ---- determined to *never* lose a loved one again, or let the planet fall to (what he believes) is KRONOS evil----- he begins training with Aptom (in both human and Guyver mode) to become a better fighter, as well as trying to find new ways to "evolve" the Guyver. Instead of hiding out and counter striking, this leads them to start subtly raiding KRONOS labs, where they learn about a new project: PSY-CORPS . *SIDEBAR:* Essentially, PSY-CORPS is a new bio-weapon plan of KRONOS to tap into the latent psychic powers of normal humans. Further study of the human genome revealed that the human brain being more developed than that of other species on the planet was deliberate; the Intelligence was but _one_ element , needed so that humans could take orders. However, that development _also_ laid base work for _Psychic powers_ similar to those of the Uranus and other higher evolved species. One of the reasons Guyver 0 was able to block the Advents commands was because the unit maximized his brain potential (the same basis that allows for telepathic communication between Guyvers), but even without a Guyver, these dormant parts of the brain could be "trained" or developed so that normal psychic powers (telepathy, body control, telekinesis) could grow. Being built for war, however, humans _also_ had the potential for other _unforeseen_ powers (clairvoyance, psychometry, element control, body enhancement). These would be abilities Zoalords use, which are "brought out" via optimization and the Zoa crystals; normal human brains just have them dormant. Only about 15% of the populace having a natural genetic talent for it, and another 5% being able to "train" for it...hence the legends of Psychics and heroes in the past. Furthermore---- much like Sho--- the factor of human "imagination"....an ability the Advents never conceptualized as linear, logical, scientific thinkers.... can allow for mankind to evolve or conceive new abilities....much like Sho used _his_ imagination to create Guyver Gigantic. 6. So yeah, KRONOS is now trying to find and bio-enhance psychic soldiers; where as the Zoanoids would be "shock troops", Zoalords "Generals" and Arkenfel the "Supreme Commander", Psychics would be "Captains", commanding Zoanoads much like Griselda did her soldiers and acting as "transmitters" to enhance the range and effect of Zoalaords reach. The side effects here would be evident, though: Psy-men would be "more resistant" to Zoalords commands, and need to be forced to comply in other ways. They could also "shield" themselves and others from the psychic sense, and even _pure vision_ of Zoalords or interfere with thought waves the way Murakami did with Guo, just to greater effect. Also, they _couldn't_ be processed for obedience, because turning them into a Zoanoid would "shut off" or totally negate both the part of the brain responsible for transmitting mental energy and genes for further psychic development. However... someone with a Guyver unit who has this gene _may_ be able to _enhance it! 7. This leads Sho to an American KRONOS lab, where their lead worker, Maurice Barker, has been forced to serve KRONOS ends. Maurice is both a natural psychic and top level scientist in weaponized Nuero science, who was working on developing the Psy-Men because KRONOS has been holding his 18 year old brother, Shaun, as ransom. Maurice agrees to aid Sho if he rescues his brother, which is done. Unfortunately, Sho doesn't possess the Psy-Gene, _but_ Maurice thinks he has a way of making Sho stronger and training him to better use his Guyver enhanced "intuition", doing this by implanting cells from a _third_ advent shit....the remains fo the ship Guyver 0 destroyed eons earlier! 8. This training takes several days, and Sho and Aptom have to "masquerade" battles with ZTB _and_ KRONOS to keep them off track that he's teleporting between Japan and the US to raid teir bases and get further tech and secrets. Shaun is rescued, and his brother implants Advent ship cells into him; not only does this boost Shaun's mental powers and some of his physical abilities, but it makes him _totally immune_ to Zoalord control and Optimization! Maurice also grants Aptom new abilities, such as combining with metals, to make him and even better battle creature. 9. Guo's KRONOS faction eventually stumble upon Team's Hero's doings, and (seeking means to use Maurice's research to enhance their own abilities even further and be free of Ark's control) raze the lab; Maurice is mortally wounded, but Team Hero _brutally_ hurts Guo and learns of the divided faction within KRONOS, as well as freeing the Psy-Men and destroying the research; it's a blow to two of their enemies. Enraged by his brother's murder, Shaun joins Team Hero and vows to take KRONOS down with them, using the last piece of knowledge his brother gave him via a psychic dream: Ark's island wasn't the _only_ base the Advents had, and thus it is suspected that _somewhere_ on Earth...there's *another Guyver Unit!* 10. _This_ would kick off a 4 way battle (Team Hero, KRONOS, ZTB, Apollon) to stop the other entities from finding the Unit, destroying humanity, spreading into space and possibly join an eons old interstellar war, while also creating a _whole new dimension_ of battle as Psy-Men decide who to join, and if to oppose KrRONOS's rule! Hell, could you even _imagine_ a Sho-enhance Guyver version 4, Arkenfel, Apollon and a Psychic Guyver fighting it out?!?!? A dream, I know, but seriously... I'd want to see this play out!
The Live Action "Guyver II" movie is still to this day, One of my top favorite (top 5) movies of all time and started my love of this series/anime/lore. I'm an 80's kid, but the early 90's was AMAZING!!!
Guyver has been my most favourite Manga since i was about 10 when the shorter Guyver series first came out. It has veen beloved by me above everything else and that includes Spawn. Thank you for running through this and making it relevant again. This sure brought back some memories!!!!!
Indeed an underrated Universe and Franchise that in the right hands can unveil AMAZING possibilities, i am a down to the core fan of the Guyver. My cool dude, keep up the amazing work, you have earned a subscriber here! Beautifully done. Is good to see awesome people as yourself that still look up to this GEM and have a concrete dedication to it ♥️!
Great video love the Guyver series, I stumbled upon the two live action movies when I was a kid and instantly was hooked, it wasn't until years later I found out it was based on a manga/anime and then binged the crap out of everything Guyver, it is a shame that the manga is incomplete this is definitely one of my favorite series and is very underrated, I've only known maybe 3 or 4 people who have even heard of it. It's good to know I am not alone in this fandom lol. Sidenote they seriously need to make more Guyver content.
I came to know about the Guyver a few days ago because of the 2 american movies made in the 90's.... and man, it so awesome!!!!!!! I never knew it existed an amazing franchise as Guyver with an amazing universe, lore, characters, superpowered warriors and monsters, etc :D , I want to know more about it!
@AcidGlow you’re earned your place amongst gods for making these guyver videos. I’m a hardcore fan and i thought my guyver knowledge was unmatched but you thought me some things today. Amen brother
I had already subbed to your channel with your hunting grounds video but the fact that you gave this gem some love has solidified you as my primary lore listen. Keep up the good work.
Have been so curious about what happened in the story after the two series... I wish the Manga was more accessible, and am really thankful to you for putting this together. Hopefully, one day, we learn the end of the tale. Thanks again!
I like your passion for this franchise. I've never seen much of it except one film. But I can appreciate the love you have for its lore and can relate. Nice vid
I thank you for making this compilation video! Your past videos were excellent and I'm always happy to revisit my favorite armored hero! He is so criminally underrated!!!!
The guyver was one of the best and one if my fave pieces of media ever! Even the film (mainly the 2nd one) was the best anime to live action ever. I wish it makes a comeback a continuation somehow. This is what hooked me into anime more than western cartoon/hero shows
The guyver was the second anime series i hunted down as a kid . I was so im to the manga and anime. The movie's where great for what it was at the time . I could see it getting a reboot. I prefer the second movie suit . Great job .
What bothers me the most is I've been watching the anime since 1988 or 89 whenever the first one came out and no matter where I go for Source material I don't get a complete story I was nine when it started I'm 40 now anime and manga go to in depth just to give up
Hey AcidGlow! I always loved the Guyver! The original Manga and OVA's, the newer series, all of it! I think it would have been cool if one of the other Zoalords like Purgstall or Sinrubio had equipped a Guyver unit.
I wish more would be done with this IP. It's been 15 years on the anime side of things. The late 80s Guyver anime being released on VHS in the mid 90s (Manga Entertainment!!) was what brought me back to anime after not watching since the early 80s.
It's like you've learned about me watching your channel... This is totally bizziare. I just stumbled upon the channel about a week ago, love your videos and especially the Guyver which got me hooked and to subscribe. Was disappointed to see the videos of Guyver were from way back so wasn't expecting to see another one on your channel... then bam, a whole hour long one!!
Love this series, just one correction. The Guyver units were basically the space suits / encounter suits used by the Advent. It was not created on Earth it was part of their basic equipment for travel. They decided to see what would happen if they let a human bond to it. Because humans were designed for combat the unit optimized itself for that. The Advent were designing combat bio-forms because they were not capable to fight their own battles and did not want to change themselves.
Oooh the Guyver I loved both the anime and both the animated movies and the live action if you're wanting to talk guyver I got you lol I used to be obsessed
I've loved the Guyver series for years, even though my first intro to it was that... um... _interesting_ first film. The various anime series (*Especially* 2005) an the _manga_ though... that's just FREAKING AWESOME. It's a shame the Mangaka's health hasn't allowed him to finish this series, even after 30 years; it's right up there with _Ah! My Goddess!_ in terms of quality and import, in my opinion.
Guyver was so ahead of its time that IMO it is the best sci fi manga in the past 30 years. The concept was highly original when it was first published in 1985. I hope Amazon or Netflix will make it into a series. It will be epic.
it's great to see Guyver fan recently released a new video dedicated to a Guyver. I grew up with Guyver. Then it was just Guyver the movie: "dark hero" Man, I've watched it a thousand times. Congratulations on the video! From a big fan! Cheers!
I fanboy for Guyver like some people do for Star Wars. Was my #1 favorite movie as a kid(Guyver 2 actually), discovered the anime and manga as a teen. Still love it, always will.
Amazing! This is the first of your videos I've watched. I enjoyed it immensely! You covered alot of lingering questions I've had about it all over the years! Thank you! Subscribed for sure!!!
This series really needs a complete overhaul. The Guyver has so much room for improvement that it could literally be the most overpowered super suit and or being in all of anime. This is an armor so great that it's own creators feared it so much that they literally bitched out and ran, wow.
Well, it's not that it hasn't gotten completed, it's just that the original creator has been on hiatus for a long long time. Yoshiki Takaya's original partner (responsible for main story/plot writer and story boarder) who worked on the series alongside him passed away in 2016. There hasn't been any official announcement that they had completely given up on the series, especially since we continue to see Guyver merchandise still being put out there. Takaya is a dentist by trade and worked on the Guyver as a hobby. If Takaya is still around, there might still be hope for the series to finish. Otherwise, I'd say it's up to the next generation who would take interest in the Guyver to finish the story and/or up to the fans.
@@AcidGlow Well of course we all want the creator to finish the story, but they've had over 30 YEARS to do so and they FAILED US?! I knew that most likely a key person was going to die before they finished and sure enough it's what happened. And how do you even know "the story's almost at the end"?! LOL NOBODY KNOWS! They don't tell us anything! The creators can make the story as long or as short as they want! It's been 30 years since they started it! At this point I don't give a damn who finishes the series anymore as long as it's finished and it's a good ending! I want some kind of closure! 30 Years I've been a fan and they fuck me over?! That's just unacceptable bullshit man!
The story of the _Guyver_ universe borrows a lot from the mythologies of the ancient near east and world religions but formatted in a sci-fi genre. One of the speculations as to the origin of _Apollon_ is that he is a *twin* of _Alkanphel_, taken by the creators when they left, along with their lifeform "samples". From an old Japanese message boards, Takaya had one of these rough sketches (posted on a wall along with others) of 2 relic wombs side by side; both appearing to look unmistakably like Arunkanferu...
@@CinderUnit I wish I could send you a direct link, but that message thread is long gone mate. It's from an extinct old japanese futaba-style message board. The picture is a scanned b&w article from a magazine interviewing manga artists around 2001-2.
This right here was mine childhood hero...It was a love at first sight, I remember when my dad rented VHS of Dark Hero and the rest was history...I later on watched anime and read manga...And soon I plan to put a small tat too of him ^^
I have always dug the Guyver ever since my Uncle showed me the old OVA series when I was a kid. Everything about its design is just great. Also learning later on that the lead in Dark Hero was Solid Snake's actor David Hayter was pretty cool as well. You can really hear it when he yells in the movie. I really wish they could bring it back.... but I have this gut feeling that if they try it will be a Berserk 2016 situation with really terrible cg animation.
I played a PC back in the early 00s or maybe 99 and the character you played as in the game kinda looked like Guyvers. The game was a blast to play and one of my favorite games. I haven’t heard or seen anything new about it in a long long time though.

Yes give me more Guyver
@Tommy Kavanaugh sorry I hate my voice text. Its a complete mess, so I rewrote my entire question. Thanks though!
Will watch soon! Guyver is why I love cyber suit anime/movie. Love the content carlos.
oh, i'll revive it alright. i am.
Bro, no one knows guyver. Growing up all my friends wanted to be superman, batman, spider ect. And i was the only who chose guyver.
Me too dude, theyd give me a wierd look, so I'd just say Iron Man if his suit could rebuild itself.. and they'd tell me I'm wierd and walk away.
SAME!!!
We had 3 dhs tapes growing up and tv was the shit back then so yeah, we didnt watch a lot of popular movies unless it came on cable lol only my other poor friends knew what i was talking about
same
Have you ever asked someone if they have seen Guyver and they go: "MacGyver? I love that show!" Lol Happens to me all the time.
This movie deserves a modern reboot. With all the cool movies these days this is one I hope gets another chance. Times are better for this kind of hero.
Maybe we'll see solid snake guyver someday
Was my dream to be the next.
well the 2005 anime was the closest to the manga I wished the live action movies were way darker than they were
This is everything I’ve ever wanted. I’ve been into Guyver since the 90s and literally nobody ever talks about this stuff. Greatest tokusatsu never made.
9:04
Armor didn't protected them from acid.
It was guyver's consciousness.

* Acid is contained in/under of the skin of the ship, the liquid fill inside the ship is more like the breathable liquid in womb.. Just like Evangelion.
The Heartbreaking part about this franchise is that there's never been a Guyver Videogame. I'd play it!
Platinum Games would do it justice
@@Imozart0341I totally agree!
#facts BRO
There was one for the super famicom.
IMO the bigger heartbreak is that this series will never end the creator just up and quit the manga.
I would love an updated movie with the technology we have today. A rated R version with Guillermo del Toro as the director.
Have you seen the original movie it still holds up pretty well.
Yes sir...or Michael Bay or snider would be great to direct a new guyver
I agree or even David Lynch as director
@@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman
That original dude who played Sean drives me nuts.
Can Guillermo del Toro Direct a All New action Science Fiction film called Ultraman Tiga and Ronin Warriors based on the ninth Best Japanese anime television show episodes and series of all time best video of the decade best there is and the best there was and the best there ever will be expected no substitute for excellence And Don't Forget Saber Rider and the star sheriffs
I like the guyer such an underrated anime character wish I had a guyver unit armor.
They should bring it back.
Personally I would love to have the Guyver unit 2 ! Even with its busted control metal I would give it a lot of love!
AcidGlow I know right.
Lowell Lucas Jr. me I would prefer the guyver 1 unit.
@@damianstarks3338 well, your unit was the 1st to turn Gigantic!
I remember being introduced to Guyver movies watching the "Real" Sci-Fi Channel in the 90's 😊
The Guyver is such a huge part of my childhood! There’s really something special about this anime.
Same for me!
This was the first anime series I watched as a kid in the mid 90’s. I’ve been following everything about it ever since.
@Joe Mangle
Anime is cartoon.
Same... watched one episode accidentally when I was 4.. loved it ever since
@@iliveinsideyourhouse3943 anime is so much more than a cartoon...
Man I watched the Guyver with my Dad and I still remember it today. It was awesome. I'm going to have to rewatch it.
I don't care what anyone say dark hero was straight fire! I would love a new anime or a new live action movie.
I loved the movie since I was a kid and it still gets me pumped, hearing Shawn say " I Am The Guyver..." I knew of a comic book but could never find it and im glad to find out there is a lore behind the movie. I always wondered if the guyver unit looked different with each human or just alien species like in the second movie.
This series isn't really discussed and it's very good. Wish I got more attention..
Yea people suck.
Thank you for making this. This needs to blow up and we need a guyver 3
This is still one of my all time favourite franchise.
On a separate note, if _I_ had any input into how the series continues, it'd be like this:
1. Sho and Team Hero would effectively be looking for ways to get stronger, but he'd be focused on finding Mizuki and Tetsuo after Apollon kidnapped them. *NOTE:* I believe Apollon is an agent from the Advents sent to "keep an eye" on Arkenfel, (while also taking back the Zoalord crystals) hence why he took them to Ark's island and left them in a house with him. He may even be able to control Mirabalis, wo is _still_ fully loyal to Ark...but his human memories make him "reluctant" to kill his old friends thanks to Apollon's interference in his programming.
2. KRONOS would be continuing with its plans for interstellar travel and creating ever more effective Zoalords, but the "Factions" among them would be an issue; some being loyal to Ark, some seeking power for themselves on earth, and another looking to head to space for their own agenda...maybe even working _with_ Apollon!
3. The ZL faction backing Guo would look to make use of Valkyria to create "dummy" units to enhance their powers so that they may be able to stand against Ark, and (Val)Kyria would be seeking revenge for the death of her brother (maybe lover) Inspector Lesker.
4. Zeus's Thunderbolts would be seeking ever more power, with Agito getting frustrated as he looks for a way to make his Gigantic go "Exceed", not realizing that it's a direct expression of Sho's pure-hearted intention to protect his friends/the planet, _and_ not his rage or "will", but his imagination, something Agito lacks. Basically, he'd become the Vegeta to Sho's Goku, constantly seeking to 1-up his rival.
5. Sho can _feel_ Mizuki is alive, but has no way to track her and Tetsuo, so ---- determined to *never* lose a loved one again, or let the planet fall to (what he believes) is KRONOS evil----- he begins training with Aptom (in both human and Guyver mode) to become a better fighter, as well as trying to find new ways to "evolve" the Guyver.

Furthermore---- much like Sho--- the factor of human "imagination"....an ability the Advents never conceptualized as linear, logical, scientific thinkers.... can allow for mankind to evolve or conceive new abilities....much like Sho used _his_ imagination to create Guyver Gigantic.
6. So yeah, KRONOS is now trying to find and bio-enhance psychic soldiers; where as the Zoanoids would be "shock troops", Zoalords "Generals" and Arkenfel the "Supreme Commander", Psychics would be "Captains", commanding Zoanoads much like Griselda did her soldiers and acting as "transmitters" to enhance the range and effect of Zoalaords reach.

10. _This_ would kick off a 4 way battle (Team Hero, KRONOS, ZTB, Apollon) to stop the other entities from finding the Unit, destroying humanity, spreading into space and possibly join an eons old interstellar war, while also creating a _whole new dimension_ of battle as Psy-Men decide who to join, and if to oppose KrRONOS's rule! Hell, could you even _imagine_ a Sho-enhance Guyver version 4, Arkenfel, Apollon and a Psychic Guyver fighting it out?!?!?
A dream, I know, but seriously... I'd want to see this play out!
Idk if you saw but the manga came back and Agito finally got gigantic XD it was dope
The Live Action "Guyver II" movie is still to this day, One of my top favorite (top 5) movies of all time and started my love of this series/anime/lore. I'm an 80's kid, but the early 90's was AMAZING!!!
A criminally underrated series and way better than the Prometheus movie.
Completely under rated, the concept is amazing.
Guyver is underrated as hell. One of my favorite anime character. It deserves more attention and love.
Guyver has been my most favourite Manga since i was about 10 when the shorter Guyver series first came out.
It has veen beloved by me above everything else and that includes Spawn.
Thank you for running through this and making it relevant again. This sure brought back some memories!!!!!
Indeed an underrated Universe and Franchise that in the right hands can unveil AMAZING possibilities, i am a down to the core fan of the Guyver. My cool dude, keep up the amazing work, you have earned a subscriber here! Beautifully done. Is good to see awesome people as yourself that still look up to this GEM and have a concrete dedication to it ♥️!
It's a shame that the series was never finished but maybe it grew too big to ever have a satisfying conclusion
Great video love the Guyver series, I stumbled upon the two live action movies when I was a kid and instantly was hooked, it wasn't until years later I found out it was based on a manga/anime and then binged the crap out of everything Guyver, it is a shame that the manga is incomplete this is definitely one of my favorite series and is very underrated, I've only known maybe 3 or 4 people who have even heard of it. It's good to know I am not alone in this fandom lol. Sidenote they seriously need to make more Guyver content.
I came to know about the Guyver a few days ago because of the 2 american movies made in the 90's.... and man, it so awesome!!!!!!! I never knew it existed an amazing franchise as Guyver with an amazing universe, lore, characters, superpowered warriors and monsters, etc :D , I want to know more about it!
@AcidGlow you’re earned your place amongst gods for making these guyver videos. I’m a hardcore fan and i thought my guyver knowledge was unmatched but you thought me some things today. Amen brother
I had already subbed to your channel with your hunting grounds video but the fact that you gave this gem some love has solidified you as my primary lore listen. Keep up the good work.
i remeber watching the guyver movie on HBO when i was 9 i was hooked!
Have been so curious about what happened in the story after the two series... I wish the Manga was more accessible, and am really thankful to you for putting this together. Hopefully, one day, we learn the end of the tale. Thanks again!
Caught this series when it was originally released in the early 90s. Great story!
One of my favorite franchises and I’m very glad there’s finally some videos on the topic thanks to you! Keep up the great work 👍
1 hour of Guyver lore. You are too kind sir!
I love the Guyver so damn much and it doesn't make sense that it hasn't gotten a proper reboot
I like your passion for this franchise. I've never seen much of it except one film. But I can appreciate the love you have for its lore and can relate. Nice vid
Thank you for doing this. Im a HUGE fan of the Guyver and love seeing videos on the subject!
I thank you for making this compilation video! Your past videos were excellent and I'm always happy to revisit my favorite armored hero! He is so criminally underrated!!!!
Thanks for watchin, Lucas 🙂
Always liked Guyver since I was a child. very cool.
The guyver was one of the best and one if my fave pieces of media ever! Even the film (mainly the 2nd one) was the best anime to live action ever. I wish it makes a comeback a continuation somehow. This is what hooked me into anime more than western cartoon/hero shows
The guyver was the second anime series i hunted down as a kid . I was so im to the manga and anime. The movie's where great for what it was at the time . I could see it getting a reboot. I prefer the second movie suit . Great job .
They should def brung guyver back. I remember stumbling upon the live action movie as a kid, _goood times._
An absolutely awesome manga universe! Glad to hear I'm not the only one who remembers it fondly.
Guyver Was A Huge Part Of My Childhood. I Miss Sho And Makashima.
Glad to see someone talk about this underrated series that I wish they would actually continue.
it just takes forever to update, but it is still continuing
Such an amazing franchise, it truly deserves a reboot. . .🤩
Such a shame the Guyver will never get finished
What bothers me the most is I've been watching the anime since 1988 or 89 whenever the first one came out and no matter where I go for Source material I don't get a complete story I was nine when it started I'm 40 now anime and manga go to in depth just to give up
My first exposure to anime was guyver when i was 6 or 7 such an awesome show
Hey AcidGlow! I always loved the Guyver! The original Manga and OVA's, the newer series, all of it! I think it would have been cool if one of the other Zoalords like Purgstall or Sinrubio had equipped a Guyver unit.
Guyver has so much potential to build up old or new lore.
Watching the original and remake series now. This will serve as a great companion source. Thanks Acid🤙🏾
I wish more would be done with this IP. It's been 15 years on the anime side of things. The late 80s Guyver anime being released on VHS in the mid 90s (Manga Entertainment!!) was what brought me back to anime after not watching since the early 80s.
It's like you've learned about me watching your channel... This is totally bizziare.
I just stumbled upon the channel about a week ago, love your videos and especially the Guyver which got me hooked and to subscribe.
Was disappointed to see the videos of Guyver were from way back so wasn't expecting to see another one on your channel... then bam, a whole hour long one!!
Dude i love you Guyver oh my God i remember this as a kid and i just recently watched the anime we need a reboot
THANKS for showing one of the GREATEST BRILLIANT UNDERRATED animes EVER some LOVE for an hour!!! 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯👍👍👍
I loved the Guyver ever since I saw the first movie when I was a kid.
Guyver is the best superhero ever . I've said this since I was 8
So underrated but it's ok cus hes special
Long live the guyver!!!!
Discovered guyver after I found out elemental hero Neos was based off him
Love this series, just one correction. The Guyver units were basically the space suits / encounter suits used by the Advent. It was not created on Earth it was part of their basic equipment for travel. They decided to see what would happen if they let a human bond to it. Because humans were designed for combat the unit optimized itself for that. The Advent were designing combat bio-forms because they were not capable to fight their own battles and did not want to change themselves.
Oooh the Guyver I loved both the anime and both the animated movies and the live action if you're wanting to talk guyver I got you lol I used to be obsessed
I remember the movie as a kid and that’s how I got introduced to the franchise💯
I've loved the Guyver series for years, even though my first intro to it was that... um... _interesting_ first film. The various anime series (*Especially* 2005) an the _manga_ though... that's just FREAKING AWESOME. It's a shame the Mangaka's health hasn't allowed him to finish this series, even after 30 years; it's right up there with _Ah! My Goddess!_ in terms of quality and import, in my opinion.
Yesssss the world needs more guyver content!!! Thany you!
"We are the Uranus"
What could've been a foreboding line is now a slight chuckle.
The Guyver series was so gooood & goodness this video was uploaded on my 25th birthday. I always enjoy your videos AcidGlow.
I saw that show as a kid and wanted to figure out more but never did and forgot till I saw this. So thanks you so much.
The guyver is literally a deconstruction of tokusatsu or japanese based superheroes like ultraman, kamen rider and super sentai and i love it!
Guyver is a lot like Berserk on the anime series. You get abandoned at the very best part and no more footage.
Guyver was so ahead of its time that IMO it is the best sci fi manga in the past 30 years. The concept was highly original when it was first published in 1985. I hope Amazon or Netflix will make it into a series. It will be epic.
it's great to see Guyver fan recently released a new video dedicated to a Guyver. I grew up with Guyver. Then it was just Guyver the movie: "dark hero" Man, I've watched it a thousand times. Congratulations on the video! From a big fan! Cheers!
This is what movie they need to make happen my childhood was awesome asf
Never knew it was an anime. Loved the love action movie as a kid
I fanboy for Guyver like some people do for Star Wars. Was my #1 favorite movie as a kid(Guyver 2 actually), discovered the anime and manga as a teen. Still love it, always will.
I saw these when I was a child and I could never find them again. I half thought I imagined it.
Amazing! This is the first of your videos I've watched. I enjoyed it immensely! You covered alot of lingering questions I've had about it all over the years! Thank you! Subscribed for sure!!!
Huge fan. Thanks for putting this together! 😀
This series really needs a complete overhaul. The Guyver has so much room for improvement that it could literally be the most overpowered super suit and or being in all of anime. This is an armor so great that it's own creators feared it so much that they literally bitched out and ran, wow.
The old OVA and manga guyver are the best - acid how do you feel that it never got completed?
Let down. I wanted closure. But I did enjoy how long the story was. I read up to the part when Apollyon fought against Guyver Gigantic.
Well, it's not that it hasn't gotten completed, it's just that the original creator has been on hiatus for a long long time. Yoshiki Takaya's original partner (responsible for main story/plot writer and story boarder) who worked on the series alongside him passed away in 2016. There hasn't been any official announcement that they had completely given up on the series, especially since we continue to see Guyver merchandise still being put out there. Takaya is a dentist by trade and worked on the Guyver as a hobby. If Takaya is still around, there might still be hope for the series to finish. Otherwise, I'd say it's up to the next generation who would take interest in the Guyver to finish the story and/or up to the fans.
@@azaizer I would rather have the creator finish the story. It's almost at the end anyways.
@@AcidGlow Well of course we all want the creator to finish the story, but they've had over 30 YEARS to do so and they FAILED US?! I knew that most likely a key person was going to die before they finished and sure enough it's what happened. And how do you even know "the story's almost at the end"?! LOL NOBODY KNOWS! They don't tell us anything! The creators can make the story as long or as short as they want! It's been 30 years since they started it! At this point I don't give a damn who finishes the series anymore as long as it's finished and it's a good ending! I want some kind of closure! 30 Years I've been a fan and they fuck me over?! That's just unacceptable bullshit man!
If they completed the old series we probably would of seen two more guyvers,maybe even three along with that huge one.
The story of the _Guyver_ universe borrows a lot from the mythologies of the ancient near east and world religions but formatted in a sci-fi genre.
One of the speculations as to the origin of _Apollon_ is that he is a *twin* of _Alkanphel_, taken by the creators when they left, along with their lifeform "samples". From an old Japanese message boards, Takaya had one of these rough sketches (posted on a wall along with others) of 2 relic wombs side by side; both appearing to look unmistakably like Arunkanferu...
Source please, I need to know which message board is it
@@CinderUnit I wish I could send you a direct link, but that message thread is long gone mate. It's from an extinct old japanese futaba-style message board. The picture is a scanned b&w article from a magazine interviewing manga artists around 2001-2.
Very cool, thanks for creating this. Now lets get NETFLIX Reps interested so this can turn into a series.
GUYVER!!!!! Thanks for covering this classic manga/anime Carlos
Bio Boost!!
@@AcidGlow appreciate your hard work Carlos
Would never wanna be a hero where the main source someone could take right in your head lol
They need to remake this movie so bad.... one of the most underrated movies!!
A Guyver movie Directed by Guillermo del Toro would be so awesome!
Correction they need to remake the anime a remake of the movie would be cool but the Anime needs to come first
Guyver!!! Yes! Love this franchise!
This right here was mine childhood hero...It was a love at first sight, I remember when my dad rented VHS of Dark Hero and the rest was history...I later on watched anime and read manga...And soon I plan to put a small tat too of him ^^
Good god thank goodness someone else loves guyver as much as i do
Excellent video Carlos thanks man!👍
My first love for anime as a kid, comics, 80's vids, 90's movies and models before the current toys. Oh ya I'm still a Guyver nerd🤘! Great vid!
ONE OF THE BEST ANIME EVER
Yo ...Archanfel has that perfect look for the Antichrist... love his all seeing eye emblem on his suit too!
As a 40 year old..I truly miss my child now,but great video.
You rock, thank you so much for those recaps
I have always dug the Guyver ever since my Uncle showed me the old OVA series when I was a kid. Everything about its design is just great. Also learning later on that the lead in Dark Hero was Solid Snake's actor David Hayter was pretty cool as well. You can really hear it when he yells in the movie.
I really wish they could bring it back.... but I have this gut feeling that if they try it will be a Berserk 2016 situation with really terrible cg animation.
Just liked and subscribed.
I loved Guyver 1 and 2 as a kid.
I played a PC back in the early 00s or maybe 99 and the character you played as in the game kinda looked like Guyvers. The game was a blast to play and one of my favorite games. I haven’t heard or seen anything new about it in a long long time though.
Just came here to give you a thumbs up. I am a huge guyver fan.
I love The Guyver, the ova's where my first introducion to the franchise
Why isn't it popular? It is so good... I was obsessed with Guyver when I was a kid.
WHAAAAAT!!!! 🙀🙀 The guyver unit 1-12.. Still got them on VHS😏 happily surprised to see this👍
