Customer Reviews of Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 - Perfect Collection
A great remake of the original Bubblegum Crisis anime This is a great remake of the original Bubblegum Crisis anime classic, although some otaku's still consider the original the best. <

The sequel to the Bubblegum Crisis
Synopsis:
<
>The much talked about remake of the classic Bubblegum Crisis OAV series. The year is 2040, the place Mega-Tokyo. Armed with highly advanced suits of powered armor, a group of young female vigilantes fights a shadow war against the largest mega-corporation in Japan, GENOM, and their army of mad "Boomers": androids built to replace humans in menial labor jobs, but which have an annoying tendency to run rampant.

<
>Review: Compared to the original OAV (Bubblegum Crisis), I find the characters much more endearing and believable. Though some may not like the new character designs. For those that favor the original better...shame! The way the plot has been reworked makes a lot more sense, while the character designs may have changed, the mecha designs are just like the original, only more smoothly animated and spiced up with CG effects. I'm not complaining.

>Leaving the original, the story takes a step back and describes how the Knight Sabers were originally formed, rather than dumping the viewer right into the middle of an ongoing story. Lots of detail went into humanizing the various cast members. From Nene's snack habits, to Priss's icy mercenary attitude, to Linna trying on her suit for the first time...the characters improve on characterization.

<
>The music is mostly hard rock and pop. The opening and ending themes are both well done. At first, I thought the ending theme was stupid from not really hearing any music. The beginning of the end theme is a bit weird, but turns out rather well.

<
>The end of the series has come, though there may be more to come. I doubt. The ending was a bit unatural to its condition. The love craves and future clean-up were not present when needed.

<
>In all, this is a fitting tribute to the original Bubblegum Crisis. In fact, in terms of character development and action it may have even improved upon the original in some respects. The typically Japanese open ending to the series may disappoint fans who like more closure to their anime, but aside from that, BGC 2040 is a solid, action-packed, sci-fi anime. Highly recommended.
Good Action Series
The animation and audio for this series are good.

<
>The overall story is alright, but did not really keep me captivated. I believe the problem is poor character development. The main characters act like automatons. They have about as much depth as the boomers they are fighting against. For no apparent reason, they risk their lives to fight robots gone awry. What is the cause of their conviction - we know why Sylia has a thing against boomers, but what about the others?

>Why did I watch the whole series? A: I wanted to get my money's worth. B: I thought the depth of the story would improve. Honestly, it does a little on the 5th and 6th DVDs, but not enough to save the rest of the series.

>I give it 3 stars because I love animated films and the animation is, of course, great. If you're looking for a good action series that plays out like a 70's superhero show, check it out. You'll probably enjoy it. If, however, you're looking for a little more substance I recommend looking elsewhere.
