Mixed Feelings
Story (6/10):
The story of Guyver The Bioboosted Armor followed a very standard and by the books method for Sci-Fi anime. You got the MC who (surprise surprise) got no mother and live alone with his super understanding father and suddenly acquires a power that causes his ordinary life to shatter, an evil organization the controls the world from the shadows and are after the power that the MC got.
The show also implement the usual "that not even my final form" and "that not the final boss" methods that are usually used in this type of show
The plot reminded me of Zetman which is a 100 times better (only read the manga so i am not sure about the anime quality)

Characters (6/10):
Every single character is the cliche of their respected type. You got the MC that as usual goes in the usual loop of "i can't do it" to "i can do it and will protect everyone" the MC doesn't give you any reason to rally behind him as a viewer really. You also have the childhood friend who the MC loves and of course is oblivious to the fact and got a crush on some other guy, and don't forget the best friend who is the only person that knows the MC secret at first and insist on being with him although he is useless.
You also have the guy helping the MC with ulterior motives and the mysterious stranger how knows alot about the truth of everything
Even the Evil organization got the standard hierarchy you see in every similar show

Art and Animation (5/10):
The show simply looks old in every aspect whither it's the environments, the characters, or the animations the show offers bellow average visuals. I am sure it is an improvement over the old show but it just look bad compared to the stuff that were out at the time it was released, hell even some older stuff look better especially the animations, the fight scenes were a pain to watch.

Music & VA (7/10):
the music offers nothing of note it didn't stand out much. Both the OP and ED were the norm of such a show.
The Dub was not half bad although it was kind of stiff at some points especially when screaming was involved :D

Effectiveness (6/10):
I was mildly entertained by the show even with all it's flaws but i still would have rather watched any other thing instead. The only reason i finished it was to give an accurate representation of my thought about it in this review
Oh i almost forgot to mention that it didn't have a proper ending (if you can call that an ending)

Overall (6/10)
