Synopsis

Sho and his friend, Tetsuro, stumble upon a strange orb-like mechanism, the Guyver Unit, in the woods. It physically bonds with Sho and turns him into the alien soldier, Guyver. His mission 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. So no one is safe in Sho's life; not even himself.

Preliminary (201/201 eps)
Despite having nostalgia for the first adaptation(one of the first "adult" anime I ever watched), I have to say that both adaptations have their problems but this is much better than the 2 adaptations. Unlike the adaptations that change/move scenes around and having color ruins the shading of this horror manga. The pacing is much better without unnecessary scenes to make the runtime longer. The manga has more violence and has nudity. Considering that its extremely unlikely for another adaptation its best to read this instead and just listen to the first animes theme song.

Basically just watch the movies instead, they have perfect costume ...
