Customer Reviews of Bubblegum Crisis - Hurricane Live! (Vol. 4)
There's a Hurricane Tonight... "It is the Year 2032 A.D. Like a Phoenix, the city of Mega Tokyo is rising from the ashes of a devestating earthquake. In the twisted canyons of the megalopolis, the Knight Sabers, a small band of high-tech mercenaries, fight a lonely battle with the evil GENOM Corp. and it's sinister Androids, the "Boomers."
With those words, the world of Bubblegum Crisis emerges like the city that suffered the earthquake 7 years before in the series.
The Bubblegum Crisis Storyarc encompasses 8 Episodes and two "Music" Videos and setups a world where 4 women fight a battle where the future might as well be now. Underlying tones of Man vs. Machine and Technology run amuck encompass thru a gritty Industrial Rock Soundtrack and "gritty" Animation style.
The 4 main characters that comprise the Knight Sabers (Priss Asagiri (Punk Rock Singer and main "Artist" for many of the Songs in the Series), Linna Yamazaki (Aerobics Instructor), Nene Romanova (AD Police Officer), and Sylia Stingray (Owner of "Silky Doll" Lingerie Shop and "leader" of the Knight Sabers) fight a war against varying Boomers and GENOM itself. From a Rogue USSD Programmer and his little Sister (Episode 1, Tinsel City); 4 "Sexy" Boomers after the murder of Linna's Friend Irene over the matter of some Black-Ops development (Episode 2, Born to Kill); a GENOM re-development plan that claims the life of someone "close" to Priss and GENOM's Executive Mason trying to find out the true identities of the Knight Sabers (Episode 3, Blow Up); the Knight Sabers try and stop a Man getting revenge with a Horrible Masterpiece of Revenge (Episode 4, Revenge Road); A breakout of Several Women from an orbiting Space Station and Priss befriending someone that hides a horrible secret that could spell doom for Mega Tokyo (Episode 5, Moonlight Rambler), A mysterious New Opponent stalks the Knight Sabers by defaming their name and Priss trying to atone for her actions before (Episode 6, Red Eyes); A singer get's revenge over her sister that was murdered in "Born to Kill" that draws the Knight Sabers into the foray (Episode 7, Double Vision); and a inspiring reporter tries to reveal the true identity of the Knight Sabers (Episode 8, Scoop Chase), you'll find at least one episode for you to pique your interest.
Whether it's for the underlying BladeRunner references (GENOM Tower, Priss and THE REPLICANTS, etc.) to the gritty and jam-packed soundtrack, there's something for everyone.
Music Videos Dedicated to the Beautiful Knight Sabers :-)
The final DVD in the original Bubblegum Crisis series presents thirteen music videos based on the series. Two videos are of live-action concert footage by the main voice actresses of the series, one video ("Say Yes!") mixes live-action concert footage with animation from the much-loved series, "Touchdown to Tomorrow" introduces new animation of the Knight Sabers as a rock group, and the others present excellent music with the best action scenes from the series. For those who have not seen the original Bubblegum Crisis series, or for those who absolutely love the series, the Hurricane Live videos present a beautiful and inspiring overview of the entire series.
The series, inspired by Blade Runner and itself a tremendous influence on following anime, is full of fast-paced action and incredible music. This DVD provides anime newcomers with an excellent introduction to the world of anime.
GREAT
This is one of the pioneering shows of Anime! I remember shelling out $35 to $40 for ONE tape! Blech..what a rip off! But it got me hooked on the "Knight Sabers"! This show is fun and shows it's age with the clothes they wear etc but is a GREAT show and is the BEST in the series. If you are a fan buy THIS edition, the casing is junky as its a big clunky box with plain ol jewel cases etc but its well worth the price alone for fans of the show. The characters were done very well in this show amidst some sillyness, but not as silly as the new show 2040.
