AniWorthGuyver: Out of Control
Introduction
The plot of this OVA is a rough adaptation of the first four chapters of the Guyver manga. It covers the same basic elements of these chapters; Genesis of the guyver, Fight with Vamore, Fight with Guyver 2 and the introduction of Guyver 3. Main differences are the exclusion of Tetsuro and his replacement by Mizuki, The replacement of Lisker with a female Agent "Valcuria", and thus a female Guyver 2. There is also a look at Sho's psychology of how he deals with his situation including a very harsh moment where his friends are assassinated in cold blood.
One night, high school student Sho Fukamachi discovers a mysterious metal object. Then in a blinding flash of light, Sho finds that he has accidentally fused with the Guyver, a mecha of mysterious alien design.
Now, to save his girlfriend, Mizuki Segawa, along with the entire world, Sho must become the Guyver to fight the Chronos Corporation and their biocreatures, called Zoanoids, who are hell-bent on world domination.

Guyver: Out of Control feels less like a complete film and more like somebody kicking the door open, showing you a very cool suit, spraying some blood around and promising there’s more where that came from.
The Guyver design is fantastic. It’s easily the star of the whole thing. The action is good, and while the gore isn’t constant, what’s there has that lovely 80s blood-spray quality where every wound seems to contain several litres more blood than a human body should reasonably possess.
The animation is decent overall, but there are some obvious shortcuts. A few shots get reused so blatantly that it starts to feel cheap, which is a shame because the better action beats actually work quite well.
The music is the bigger problem for me. It has that upbeat, energetic 80s action sound that…

This anime tries to be something, but it doesn't succeed.
At first I thought it might be something average, but as the anime went on it just got bad.
The anime starts with a guy hitchhiking in the rain, and a trucker gives him a ride. This guy who hitchhiked was carrying Guyver Guns, for some unexplained reason he was carrying them, and the government was after this guy. After finding him, they almost manage to recover the suitcase with the armors, but the suitcase explodes and one of the armors ended up in front of the protagonist.
Mizuki, the protagonist's supposed girlfriend, had fainted after seeing one of the soldiers transformed into a huge monster, and right after the protagonist defeats everyone there, he carries her on his back, but she wakes up, and since he is carrying her on…

First adaptation that received the classic sleeve of Yoshiki Takaya, being removed in a format of only one short OVA the following year of which its sleeve began its publication. Due to this and the little that had advanced the material until that moment, the story of the OVA was only an approximate adaptation of the first four chapters of the manga. Covering only the basic elements of these chapters as the transformation of the protagonist when making contact with the artifact; the battle with the first Zoanoids presented; the battle with the Guyver II and the appearance at the end of the OVA of the Guyver III. Among the main changes that were made in the adaptation I could find the fact of having replaced Tetsuro Segawa by Mizuki Segawa, and the most notorious; the replacement of Oswald…

The title of this may cause some slight confusion. This is an OVA Movie adaptation of the Guyver manga; mainly referred to as: "Guyver: Out of Control".
Some people may confuse this with the Guyver (1989).
In reviewing this OVA film, there is not much to say other than it isn't a great adaptation... like at all.
It is a terrible retelling of the Guyver. I highly do not recommend this film as I thought it was a disgrace to the Guyver series. Watching this movie is sure to cause pain.
The original series however, is very good if you love action anime: "The Guyver" (1989). The art shows its age, but of everything else, I deeply enjoyed that better TV series adaptation. So if you're looking for a decent action anime I recommend the 1989 series and not this one.

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 into it, 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 h…
