I'm hoping it does well enough they do Dark Hero and we get special features from the Japanese LD and possible more....

I think the best chance of "reviving" Guyver to Western audiences is Bat In The Sun. If they featured Guyver in one of their Super Power Beat Down videos, it would be the best thing for it in this day and age, in my opinion.

Guyver is underrated because it blew its chance of wider popularity very early on. Mutronics / The Guyver from 1991 was so bad 2 things happened: 1) One of the producers felt it was so bad he made Guyver Dark Hero as a thank you to the fans. 2) It's primary box office actor ignores it's existence and doesn't like to talk about it. It also is a screw you to Mark Hamill fans as he's depicted as the face of the Guyver on the cover but instead is pushed to the side for an actor who plays a very crappy version of Sean who is replaced in the next movie.... and then turned into a bug so bad it dies after zoa-forming..... So if you talk to anyone about Guyver and bringing it to a wider customer base that there is what happened the last time it touched the wider customer base. Yes there are hard core Guyver fans, I'm one of them and I pray for the day that enough time has based to bury that memory. But in the end it's there. What Guyver needs is that the next time someone takes it up, they do what the US movies done, introduce their own Guyvers and not do what the 2005 anime done and stick like glue to the comics after a certain point. Make it interesting so the fan base is happy and new people don't have to venture into other Guyver stories to find out the basics.
