- Oh come on. This isn't an anime, this isn't even japanese. And I thought
- Hamill was much better in this than in ANY of the Star Wars films!
- This was made by Americans. Specifically, Brian Yuzna, of Reanimator fame
- <He produced the original and directed the sequel>. It is nowhere neat
- as good as his "Society", but it is a fun way to spend 90 minutes.
-
- Now, which version of the animated Guyver are you comparing it to?
- The original, superior, more extreme version, or the toned down remake?
- It comes off as not too bad compared to the remake, but it looks pretty
- sick next to the original. As for nudity, when was the last time you
- saw gratuitous nudity in a PG-13 film?
- If that is all you want in entertainment, this is the wrong group.
- It was cheesy, yes, but un-enjoyable? Not a chance.
