Not perfect but i still like it better then the last adaptation

Well i am not going to spend a really long time going over the plot but to keep it brief. Aside from if you are familiar with the original guyver. A young boy called Sho gets his hands on an alien suit called the guyver and he and his friend Tetsuro must protect before an evil organization called Enzine gets their hands on it. Also, he must stop these soligers called Zoanoids and protect his friends including his buddy tetsuro and his cute girlfriend Mizuki.

As I said from the title I honestly find this adaptation a lot better than the last one and I will give a proper explanation. Look I will admit the last adaption did have a lot of gore and violence then this one which I will say was a good sign and I somewhat like the soundtrack ir had to offer. But, that anime was missing a lot of details from the manga and even had weird twist which made zero sense like a zoianoid posing as Mizuki????

Also that anime did cut off at a bad time. Look I will admit even this anime didn't fully cover the whole thing either as there is still a lot they need to cover but at least the ending still felt like an ending.

Moving on I thought while it hasn't aged well I thought the art style and character design were still better then the last one but I still though for the time it was made the art style for the old one was good too. Though if Guyver gets another proper reboot I would love to see how it would look now.

The voice actors were also a lot better then the ones they had in the old series. Gotta love Chris Patton and Luci Christian (aka Sousuke Sagara and Kaname Chidori from Full Metal Panic) also i do love the other cast members in their roles who definitely got to grow in them.

Though the only thing which is stopping me from giving it a 10 is the fact that it still didn't fully cover the whole thing and it ended only after 26 episodes. Though I do love the touching and warm reunion Sho had with his lover Mizuki.

But other then that I love it.
