What the Press Said:
“A Guyver that oozes authenticity from every frame. The action's exciting, the artwork's attractive, the script's lively – a solid, entertaining start.”
SFX Total Anime
“The best looking, best paced, version yet seen and one that fully emphasises both the surface coolness and the underlying tragedy of Sho's circumstances.” NEO Magazine
“One of the great successes of anime and manga. A decent reinvention of a classic.”
DVD Monthly
The Story:
As the legacy of the Creators is uncovered, the assault on Chronos begins at last! Separated from friends and hounded by enemies, Sho and Mizuki seek refuge in a small town to escape their relentless assailants. However, they soon find that the tiny haven is nothing more than a deadly trap after the entire town transforms into a ruthless army of Zoanoids. Aided by Makishima, Sho is reunited with his friends and finds unlikely new allies in a group of renegade Chronos scientists. Stationed at the bottom of Relic's Point, Sho and company construct a plan to launch a counter-attack on Chronos by activating a long-buried Creator spaceship hidden beneath the base. Unfortunately, Guyot has plans of his own, as he uncovers a way to remove The Guyver units from their hosts and equip them to himself. Chaos erupts as Guyvers, Zoalords and the ancient technology of the Creators collide in a desperate struggle for power.
Guyver: The Bioboosted Armour vol. 5 – The Secrets Of Relic's Point (RRP £19.99) is a DVD-only release of episodes 17 to 20, presented in both English 5.1 and Japanese 2.0 audio with English subtitles.
