Seijuuki Cyguard

After I went down this super bizarre rabbit hole with another anime OVA called MD Geist, I found myself watching Cyguard. It’s story is pretty low quality, with its characters just sort of existing in this weird area of so little characterization I can’t really even hate them, y’know? It’s pretty mediocre in that regard.
BUT
THE SOUNDTRACK


FUCKS!!!!!
The soundtrack grabbed me by the neck and throttled me throughout the entire OVA. It’s so cool that I still listen to it CONSTANTLY. It was made by a Japanese Metal band called Trash Gang. TRASH GANG! That fucks!!! Sadly they only made an album for this and sorta ... disappeared after that. Cool guys, I bet!
The design of the demon possessed armor of the main character is pretty cool too! There’s a resin kit or it floating around if you’re into that sort of thing, but it goes for a steep price!! Overall, I did enjoy Cyguard, but objectively it’s not great- but, hey, if you have nothing better to do... it’s on YouTube! Goforit!

What a piece of trash this was.I can only imagine the brainless prison inmate that would waste money to make this cow dung.After the failure of an experiment involving the use of a special material called astenite almost killes john stalker he is then transformed into the god of destruction saldo who go on a rampage for the purpose of going on a rampage.

This is certainly a candidate for the worst anime I have ever seen and that's saying a lot since im pretty easy to please.but this anime is just so awful that even though it short its still barely watchable,There is just ... no purpose or any kind of reasonably interesting plot.I watch the dub for this and the voice acting was so bad at times you'd think the producers hired people off the street and compensated them with Burger king coupons. Way better stuff out there .

Well, it's not the worst show in the world, so I guess it has that going for it. But it is among the endless string of similar type of anime stories that were vomited out of Japan during this time period.

Set in the far, far, far distant future world of 2019, in the shining megapolis of Cyber-Wood, as a miracle new material is found that converts psychic energy into real energy. While testing out a new cyber-suit developed to help the slums known as Cancer, an ancient power is unleashed and the wearer of the suit is ... possessed and turned into a cybernetic warrior.

Pretty much every other show during this decade involved some sort of secret ESP/psychic powers. Add in the craze of anything "cyber", mix in a heavy dose of Robocop and William Gibson, and you end up with this concoction. Fairly normal artwork and animation, heavy metal soundtrack, paper-thin characterizations, and more unnecessary blood and gore than you can shake a cyber-stick at. If you're into the this type of action-gore that Ohata specializes in, go for it. Otherwise, there really isn't much here worth watching.
