An original project directed by Takashi Watanabe, who directed things like ... Ikkitousen 2003, the Freezing anime, Slayers series, Boogiepop Phantom, etc. He has also worked as a key animator or with the Storyboard in other studio series and other external projects. And finally it was animated by J.C.Staff and A.C.G.T. It is an ecchi with elements of wicks and ninjas making a combination half rare and that went unnoticed in the season in which it came out. And as a curiosity, some time after the completion of this project, he had planned to launch a reboot as a CGI animation film, however he did ... not meet the goal of funds required in Kickstarter in 2016, so the project was frozen indefinitely.

And why do I talk about this anime, well ... I found this anime looking for Soft-Hentai's with interesting material to review, and to my surprise it did not even come to that. The story I care about three peanuts obviously, what came to fuck me most is that the animation in this series was almost nonexistent. Literally, you see any extended video or gif and the movement is very limited, the sequences with few frames predominate, the characters barely move (although this partly helps the ecchi to be decently drawn), static planes and very rough action . With all these things on the table what do we have left? It is not explicit enough to entertain pajeros (censorship is present, even if it is not so much), and for conventional spectators it will result in a very big boredom.

Horrible and forgettable anime ecchi. The only useful thing I saw was to get some interesting fan service images, little more.

I have come to see this OVA Hentai for 30 minutes and what I found was not so bad. I mean, yes, the design of the characters is well done, and that's what I'm most interested in when I find this type of OVAs. The story is about a conflict between goddesses and witches who came to earth and must get some gems to return home, nothing interesting to jump out of the chair. And yes, it's Yuri.

At the end of the day there is only one Hentai more to my repertoire to fill, but it is nice to have at least been able to ... find one with an acceptable visual quality (the action is not very attractive, as it is very limited in terms of movement, but the drawing does not decay), not like several premieres of this year that really give fucking pain to others. It is an incomplete and hurried material, but I recommend for the lesbian show that the monitas are mounted. That's it.

Encouraged by the study feel, which has done things like the nostalgic Kiss x Sis, the famous Yosuga no Sora, and crap like Makura no Danshi. We get this anime that once gave something to talk about, but today is as forgotten as Erased at the end of its broadcast.

We better go quick with this fucking anime shit which I watched in its broadcast last year. Why ?, because I read a post where a moderator of AeE told some member of the Chinese dead that the show of this series would be his Waifu of the season, and surprisingly the design was fucking beautiful ... so I ran quickly to see the first episode, only to find me in the end ...

An anime, which starts in a meh way. We start with a dream that our protagonist has, which is a kind of future aspiring manga cartoonist, but who works in his father's snack shop. A day like any other one comes in a pretty-looking asshole who tells our beta that she is someone "very important", so that later she challenges him to a kind of sweets and sandwiches contest. Then the father appears and the pretty girl named Hotaru decides to stay in those places to fuck because he can, because he wants and because he has nothing else to do or anywhere else to go. The story is on the way to repeating the same puta formula of duels and contests with this little girl throughout the 12 episodes that constitute this work, falling into a vicious circle that could hardly leave.

As a point in favor I can say that the first chapters were harmless, they were not remarkable but they were not disastrous either, they were just there, they had harmless humor and you could even learn the odd thing about Japanese sweets and sandwiches. What happened next? The series opted to go degrading itself, going from being a Slice of Life with comedy and situations of daily life in a candy store, to be practically Pandering Otaku for pubertos, one of the stupidest I've seen in a series of that year. The series is downgraded to use its theme for a sexual nature and disgusting fetish that I would be embarrassed to teach my colleagues who only see comedies to pass the time and have some laughs. From winks and sexual messages with candy, to a construction of a disc Yuri bait between the two girls in the series. Not to mention that the series is super boring to have situations that are very fast, characters who do not care about a peanut and who spend talking about candy all the time, and in a way that you get tired. When I say that the only reason why someone would see this thing is by the Waifu of turn, Hotaru, being the biggest attraction of the whole series, for its energetic personality and its attractive design.

I have no desire to say much more, is another anime that starts as something harmless and ends up pathetically lowering all its theme and its character, to be able to create Fanservice situations that please even the last of the possible fetishes for disgusting Otakus, so that buy the DvDs and sleeves of these products.

And if you ask, will I see the second season that will come in January? Well ... I saw that he changed the studio (to a better one), and there was a design change (it's slightly different), however the trailer seems more of the same only with new characters, so I do not guarantee that to follow, and if so, I will only see the first episode to make some impressions, and if it is still in the same shit, I will give it its due Drop (unless of course I am wrong and there is an improvement).

First adaptation that received the classic sleeve of Yoshiki Takaya, being removed in a format of only one short OVA the following year of which its sleeve began its publication. Due to this and the little that had advanced the material until that moment, the story of the OVA was only an approximate adaptation of the first four chapters of the manga. Covering only the basic elements of these chapters as the transformation of the protagonist when making contact with the artifact; the battle with the first Zoanoids presented; the battle with the Guyver II and the appearance at the end of the OVA of ... the Guyver III. Among the main changes that were made in the adaptation I could find the fact of having replaced Tetsuro Segawa by Mizuki Segawa, and the most notorious; the replacement of Oswald Lisker (the Guyver II) by a female agent named Valcuria, who would come to be the final enemy of this OVA as the Guyver II. But moving a little away from what would be to highlight the differences you have with your original material and probably not covered too well the little content that could be drawn from these few chapters, I will speak exclusively of my impressions on this first OVA.

The Guyver OVA is a job that has managed to capture my attention in one way or another. Coming clearly from a work that has had clear inspiration from other classics of yesteryear with the premise of the boy who for X or Y circumstances ends up abandoning his humanity and fighting with forces that threaten him, his friends and the world. To name the prime example we have Devilman from Go Nagai. The premise of this OVA is interesting in itself, but unfortunately as the first opportunity has not passed decently from the role to the animation. Production Reed, the studio in charge of this first OVA has not always been noted for having a budget too outstanding in their productions, we have cases like his adaptation of Vampire Hunter D in 1985, which would later be known as the ugly version of Hunter D , precisely because it has as a point of comparison the fascinating work done by Madhouse and Yoshiaki Kawajiri with Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust of the year 2000. And with the case of the OVA of Guyver (1986) the exact same thing happens: to be a work that has received several adaptations over the years it is impossible not to make the comparison to know which is doing more justice to his sleeve that already a practitioner can be considered cult and with its certain relevance in the world. Therefore, the adaptation to OVA of 86 is clearly considered the worst version that Guyver has had in animation, and I really believe it ...

In judging Guyver either as an adaptation or as a simple OVA plus action of the 80's, it is very badly stopped. In the first place we have to focus on how it looks, because at least it would have to stand out as a fun action with well represented violence, or not? The OVA is violent, of course, it has a lot of action as well, but it just seems to be fatal. If you only see her looking for some decent OVA Gore to put out the brain and enjoy, you'll get a good disappointment because even that does not give much. The violence is not at all shocking or outstanding, despite the fact that there are many dismemberments and crushes of heads around releasing liters and liters of blood, is very limited in the movement of the characters and how they draw the bleed makes it look very false, presenting scenes that far from causing any kind of impact on the viewer only cause you to think about how ridiculous you can get to see for such a poor drawing. Neither is that you have to forgive for the time because even for those years the decade of the 80`s was clearly the rise of this type of visceral works. And I know that this comparison is too unfair for the budget that was invested in both, but the first Devilman OVA of 1987 is much better as explicit Gore material, being very entertaining and sporting an incredible technical quality. Not to mention that he also has better fights than we could find in the Guyver OVA.

Leaving the poor animation and side design, the story as I said before is interesting, but the execution is very bad, mainly limited by time and by the bad decisions made to adapt what little they could of the manga. Leaving us with a generic OVA to kill Monsters to rescue the girlfriend of the protagonist who was kidnapped by the evil organization. The characters only leave us with the impression of being very basic, the protagonist has at least one notable moment of fragility, but nothing more. The OVA also suffers from the effect of being an incomplete material, clear, and in passing with loose ends such as the whereabouts of the protagonist and Guyver III, or if the organization was completely dismantled. So many things that could never have materialized in an OVA of 50 minutes To finish, just keep the memory that this OVA was a dirty little spot in the history of adaptations that Guyver has, you just have to ignore it and pretend that you never had a reason to exist. Because a short time later in 1989, a set of 6 OVAs would come out that would adapt the manga from scratch, having a better acceptance than the deficient product of 1986. Did these OVAs really achieve a result that was less acceptable?
