| Wer Masami Obaris Werke (u.a. Angel Blade, Viper GTS, Dangaizer 3) kennt der dürfte ungefähr eine Vorstellung davon haben was ihn mit Gowcaizer erwartet: Charaktere die sich in plastikanzugtragende Superkrieger verwandeln und sich eine Keilerei nach der anderen liefern, weibliche Figuren deren Brüste bei der kleinsten Bewegung auf und ab wippen und die soviel Haut wie möglich zeigen und die übliche Gut vs. Böse-Story bei der das Schicksal der Welt auf dem Spiel steht. Gowcaizer gibt sich nicht die geringste Mühe etwas anderes zu sein und kommt in der Summe als nichts anderes als lahme Standardkost der billigsten Sorte daher. Fanservice und Action dominieren die 3 Episoden komplett und das was dazwischen gequetscht wird ist der erwartungsgemäß sehr missglückte Versuch, die Figuren nachvollziehbar zu machen was Abseits von den öden Fights in gähnend langweiligen Dialogen resultiert. Der Handlungsverlauf kommt extrem überhastet und abgehackt daher und ist selbstverständlich so linear wie er auch nur irgendwie sein kann. Die Charaktere sind stumpf und ihre Motive sind durch und durch herkömmlich. Die einen wollen einfach nur die Welt retten, die anderen hegen Rachegelüste gegen den Oberboss und wieder andere hängen sich einfach an eine der beiden Parteien ran und kämpfen halt mal einfach so mit. Die Rolle der weiblichen Charaktere besteht hauptsächlich daraus den Fanservice-Gehalt nach oben zu treiben und die Daseinsberechtigung der Männer ist es sich in Actionfigur-Abklatsche zu verwandeln und die Fäuste fliegen zu lassen. Das heraus schreien der Attackennamen darf dabei übrigens nicht fehlen und macht das Ganze noch unseriöser als es sowieso schon ist. Fazit: Gowcaizer ist nicht mehr und nicht weniger als stumpfsinniger Superhero-Battlesuit-Fanservice-Ramsch und ungefähr so anspruchsvoll wie Power Rangers. Kurzum, diese OVA kann man getrost links liegen lassen!

| First of all, I hope you don't own this movie. It's not worth purchase price.
That said, it's a great rental to check out at least one time if you need an action/sci-fi fix.
This show is bottom line science fiction meets street fighter with more weird techniques.
The music is probably the coolest part about VFG, which keeps the adrenaline filled action going very nicely.
Overall It's average.

| Reading other reviews, I feel so dissapointed seeing that people only directed their attention to the fanservice and treated the story as a side detail, when it has gotten so much substance.
If you actually decide put bouncing breasts apart and pay attention to the dialogs, you'll quickly realise this show carries a very interesting plot. In a summary, some evil entity which appears to be all of human feelings embodied in one bad bad being, decides to carry out with the destruction of Earth. Throughout this headline, you'll follow the heroes along their bloody path to salvation. Most dialogs, as said before, contain a lot of substance and meaning to the plot in its entirety, so be sure to get them in details.
Animation is fluid and beautiful. The scenario seems to be set at some point in future (although time is never mentioned), and for this reason you'll see buildings and vehicles that do not correspond to our present era -- characters' outfits also included.
Sound and music are a bit more than average. I for one really enjoyed them since they never appeared to be out of place. Seiyuu was fantastic IMO.
Some characters can be a bit annoying, but all of them carry charisma. Kash, for instance, has to be one of the most enjoyable characters to watch in this type of anime.
Overall, great movie. Lots of fanservice, but that can never be bad anyway.

| Mmf, I don't know what to say about this one. It is quite bad for an anime... but quite good for an fighting anime. But I get the feeling all this storty want to tell to its audience is that big breasts are good, especially when they bounce and the girl having them wear clothes that one can't breath while wearing. And that all men should look feminine and still very masculine at the same time. Nah, not my kind of Anime...

| From the god of fanservice Masami Obari, comes another anime based on a video game. Considering the source material (the Gowcaizer game sucked pretty bad) they did a decent job of making the story interesting. The animation is smooth, fight scenes are nice, but like most Obari stuff there is another aspect to be explored. The fanservice, and it's in full force here. Women with massive breasts with body tight shirts, and thongs.. What could be better? As far as fanservice goes Gowcaizer is great, sadly the story is weak, and past wondering when the next fanservice angle, random breast or shower scene will pop up there is very little in this title. If you're expecting more then fanservice I suggest looking elsewhere.
