BUBBLEGUM CRASH (1991) (anime)

Buy it!

Would you recommend this? Because this is part of the original Bubblegum Crisis universe, I say yes, I would recommend it. However, it didn't really blow me away, like the original series did and without the tie-in, I can't see myself recommending it to anyone but fans of the franchise.


Technically any good? The animation is noticeably worse and the designs, while very similar, are different from the original designs used in Crisis. However, all of the same charm of the characters are intact, visually, in the story and in the acting. The stories themselves, I found to be a little lackluster and not terribly memorable. There were some nice moments that made this OVA worth watching for original BGC fans, however.

The music is good, as always, as is the voice-over acting (duh, it's anime).


How did it leave me feeling? Sadly, in the end, I didn't feel that strongly for Bubblegum Crash. I love cyberpunk, though, so I didn't mind sitting through it--especially since the original series was what sucked me into anime in the first place.


Would you sit through it again? Not by itself, but I assume I'll eventually sit through every episode in the Bubblegum Crisis universe again one day and I'll be happy with watching these three eps when I do.
