Customer Reviews of Bubblegum Crisis - Tokyo 2040 - Crusade (Vol. 2)
Second volume not as good as the first Volume two of Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 has episodes five through eight. The first two episodes give viewers a longer look into the strange old man hooked up to wires who is behind some kind of a strange conspiracy at the Genom corporation. He has a young assistant who is sexually obsessed with a red-headed Boomer (humanoid servant robot). The old man is hatching a plot that may or may not involve crooked agents of the AD Tokyo Police. He wants to capture the Knight Sabres and have dinner with them and "get them to love Boomers." <

>This portion of this plot is confusing, but the action is great. Linna has been almost fully accepted as a member of the team, (seems awfully fast) and it is now Nene who is seeking to prove herself to Priss. An element of mystery is added with flashbacks to Sylia's traumatic childhood (she is such a beautiful little girl!) when a strange boy arrives saying he is her younger brother. Sylia welcomes him without hesitation, even though her faithful butler does not know the boy. Mackey does indeed resemble Sylia. <

>We see Sylia is pretty mentally unstable. Mackey idolizes Nigel. Boomers go mad, including one that meshed with its operator when he died in an accident. The boomer comes looking for his unfaithful wife. Romantic triangles start to develop. Leon likes Priss. Priss likes Nigel. Sylia likes Nigel.
Interesting.
The second installment of the bubblegum crisis series cranks up the heat. First up Genom the evil corporation uses the A.D police to try to capture the Knight Sabers, when Priss, Lina and Nene get trapped Sylia is forced to suit up to rescue her allies. Also a mysterious young boy named Mackey shows up, Sylia claims its her brother but she's obviously lying. Meanwhile Leon tries to flirt with Priss and just comes off as smarmy. Also Priss resents Mackys friendship with Nigel. I like the fact that the characters aren't a bunch of goody two shoes, in particular Sylia she has good intentions but she has an explosive temper and can be very moody, but it's obvious she's a good person. Personally i'm okay with watching the episodes in their english versions,except for FIREBALL which focuses a lot on Priss and her horrible nonsensical singing, so put in the ear plugs!! The DvD has 4 great action packed episodes which is very reasonable. EP
The characters get deeper as the action gets more frantic
After a bit of a slow start, the series warms up in these episodes. We're delivered another four episodes, and while still not anything special, the series remains enjoyable, with a nice element of mystery.
First up we have a great two-parter in which the Knight Sabers are lured into a trap involving the AD Police and one massive Boomer. This exciting pair of episodes sees the onscreen debut of Sylia's hardsuit. The other two episodes are short rogue boomer encounters - it's fairly episodic.
Despite being episodic, there's little threads running through each episode that hint at a larger plot. For instance, Sylia's brother Mackey arrives, and while he's perfectly normal at first glance, the show somehow makes things seem really awkward, giving the viewer the feeling that there's something here they're not being told. This is something this show does excellently.
At this point in the series, I wasn't completely hooked, but all the little hints and mysteries urged me to buy the next volume to investigate. A good set of episodes in a promising series.
