The original Guyver is one of the first big anime series to become a hit in North America, and it helped create anime fandom as we know it today. Now we have a brand new Guyver with all the bells and whistles and mayhem that otaku have come to expect from an A-list title! Featuring electric action sequences, this timeless tale of a boy who discovers an otherworldly suit of armor and becomes caught in the crossfire of an interstellar war comes to life as you’ve never seen it before.

Summary: Guyver - Days of Future Past (Vol. 1)
Comment: This is volume one of a 7 volume series. The first 5 volumes contain 4 episodes per volume, with 6 and 7 having 3 each for a total of 26 episodes in all.
If you are a sci-fi/anime fan, this series is a must see. As with any series, it is best to start with episode 1 and stay in order. The plot is pretty good, and there as some interesting twist, and character development is pretty good through the series. There are some interesting technology proposed in this series and is pretty interesting to see how the writers explain it and how it affects society.
This reminds me of the Transformers, but instead of machines trans forming into humaniod robots, you have people transforming into bio-based machines or cybors of sorts. It is called "bio-boosting armor", but the guyver units are more than just armor that augments human physical abilities, it has it's own artifical intelligence that allows the unit to learn from the battles, to make it more formiable the next battle. There could be a hidden message warning about run-away scientific research, espeically genetic engineering and a "Big Brother" type of government.

Summary: Do not buy this...
Comment: I bought this thinking that it would be a cool retelling of the story with improved artwork.
It's not,it's almost exactly the same, except it's worse! yes with the advancement in television and film since the original series was made they managed to remake this series worse than it was before!
buy the 12 episodes from the 90's much better.

Summary: I'll take crisper animation
Comment: At first I was thinking I'll take bloodier scenes over crisp animation anyday. However after watching this completely, I'll say they did a real good job with this one. Fans who watched the original faithfully will right away notice the differences. But I tell you, it doesn't hurt the show one bit in my opinion. There is a whole lot more depth in the story, than just jump in hack and slash, like the original. The character development is a lot better this time around. More importantly the main character is more of a fighter this time and is adapting to the armor a lot better. The animation is a lot better. In the original the monsters were just painful on the eyes, but not this time. I also like the new edition of some monsters and others they made a lot stronger, and gave them a longer life span. If you liked the original, I really dont see how you can dislike this one. If you never seen the guyver ever, I would say start with this. For the simple fact they're actually going to finish this series.

Summary: Fans of the Guyver Will Love This Series
Comment: If you love the Guyver, then you have to buy this volume. It only has four episodes, but it also includes special features and a 32 page book that tells a lot about the Guyver universe with pictures as well. The animation is amazing and the story is very interesting. It may not be as bloody as the original Anime series, but it is still worth buying just for the in-depth story alone. The acting is superb, even in English dub, it is incredible acting. I can't wait to have all seven volumes in my DVD collection! Well worth the wait and a must have for sure.
