About The Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor

Meet The Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor (強殖装甲ガイバー (1989)), an action, horror and sci-fi anime by Ashi Productions and Animate Film (1989). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: Shou and his companion, Tetsurou, stumble upon an odd orb-like mechanism, the Guyver Unit, in the woods. It physically bonds with Shou and turns him into the alien soldier, Guyver.

Soon after, his task is to protect the Guyver Unit from the Japanese corporation known as Chronos. They are after it and two other units just like it. To retrieve the object, they send out vicious monsters known as Zoanoids.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Shou Fukamachi (Takeshi Kusao) and Agito Makishima (Hideyuki Tanaka) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. With 6 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
