Guyver Volume 2 contains the final six episodes of the twelve episode series that is loosely based on the manga by Yoshiki Takaya. While the first volume had its entertaining moments which consisted of some really cool fight scenes. Its follow up tends to take several shortcuts, which delivers some fight scenes that are mediocre at best for a majority of the outing.
The first four episodes are lackluster in almost all areas, most notably to me would be the bad and inconsistent animation. The battle scenes are poorly done; many battles are flashes followed up by falling limbs, blood spurts, or lengthy stills. Even some of the more gory scenes are weakly done.

So many years passed but I still love it.
+Breathtaking plot,the story won't let you get out of a screen!
+great animation (those monsters are so cool,how was I not afraid of them when i was a kid O,o), a lot of blood,meat :D
+Characters' temper and their nature are showed well!
So,I'm reading the Guyver manga at the moment,and so bad there are only 12 series :(

One of the classics OVA's that were released to the west under the infamous MANGA Entertainment brand(remember them?), up there with Ninja scroll, Akira and Fist of the North Star, and of course the controversial Urotsukidōji.
Ultra Violence, Gore, Mecha-ish body suit(not huge ass robot), Fantasy/Monsters-Alien things, and superish kind of power(the suit). What more do you want? It would be considered cheesy and cliche these days, but back in the day, this was the shit. If you liked Ninja Scroll, Wicked City, Fist of the North Star, Akira, Urotsukidōji etc, then i'm pretty sure you would like this too. I don't remember any nudity or sex scenes though.
I watched this years ago, so i'm rating everything based on current day expectations. However, i'm rating the enjoyment factor on what i r…
