Anime Profile: The Guyver: Out of Control

Armored Creature Guyver is of Yoshiki Takaya's greatest works, and was the first Guyver anime made, yet it has a fatal flaw. The beginning of the show followed closely to the manga storyline, but then it diverged and went in a completely different direction. This problem was avoided three years later when the second Armored Creature Guyver anime was released, The Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor. This one corrected practically all of the mistakes in the The Guyver: Out of Control as it followed the manga very closely.

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.
