I don't believe in it anymore. It's not broadly popular enough. Not enough romance, battles too long and too slow. Let's face it, the dynamic of the Guyver story is extremely high-concept... "The war between the Guyver and Chronos". We NEVER had a side-story, we BARELY get character development, the characters are pretty flat as it is, core characters appear to be immortal and the whole thing is dragging on. This series is 31 years old and there is no end game in sight. Sho hasn't even met Archanfel in person since the battle at Mount Minakami. I follow Guyver because I want to know how it ends. Not because it engages me.

Honestly.. My favorite obscure underrated charcter is Guyver!

I think you're expecting a little too much from a medium that regularly features super powers/giant robots/magic all being used by preteen girls. Especially when poorly or truthfully portraying Middle Eastern people sometimes comes with Death threats that aren't just rabid fanboys. That and it's probably not something they think is popular right now. Japan creates Anime for the Japanese, and nobody else. If they don't think that is a popular subject, they won't make anything about it. The times where you see it, it is usually used as a reasoning for: 1. Quick and easy bad guys. Everyone knows they have extremists and usually doesn't require much explanation; or 2. Quick shorthand for maladjusted young men to have combat skills and a stoic/violent attitude ( see FMP! and Gundam 00)... But in a lot of cases you'll also find that they are still oddly Japanese in some aspects, and not 100% middle eastern descent. Sure, occasionally we'll get a high quality anime with some aspects that really stand out... But those are few and far in between, and by the law of percentages, rarely ever deal with Middle Eastern issues ( again, cause Japan does Japan)
