Summary: Cyberpunk Beauties
Review: Once again, Animeigo has done it! Finally one can get the entire BGC story-line AND the Hurricane Live Videos in one set. This wonderful story of the Knight Sabers, and their fight against the evil use of Boomers (military grade cyborgs) by the GENOM Corporation is now without the famous second-episode-second-chapter-flaw. This is a definite must for any BGC fan...unless of course you already have the Collector's Suite...in that case just get the 4th DVD "Hurricane Live".

Summary: Trivia info -- What the BGC title means
Review: Someone asked a valid question. Why call this "Bubble Gum Crisis"? It has nothing to do with bubble gum! ^_^The title is a metaphore. Future Mega Tokyo is in crisis. Looks like it is about to completely fall apart. This is somewhat like when you put too much gum in your mouth and succeed in blowing a huge bubble. Now that you have this monster bubble, what are you going to do? It will likely make a big mess on your face.

Summary: Blade Runner Anime Style
Review: Takes place in the same universe "Bubblegum Crisis", but before Knight Sabers existed. Robots called Boomers, look just like humans, are very intelligent and work in the cities for the humans doing a variety of tasks such as construction, cleaning and even sexual services. Sometimes these robots malfunctioned and ended up killing innocent people. The A.D. Police force was created to destroy malfunctioning boomers. What I liked about this series was the good quality of animation, action, sound fx, and tense story telling, it has all the makings of a great anime. With its futuristic cities and noire over-tone it has a similar look and feel like the movie, Blade Runner. The Boomers are robots that look and act like humans; they are like the Replicants. In a way, the A.D. Police are like Blade Runners. I also enjoyed this anime because the cop, �Leon� is a good character, and I always wanted some background on him. Blood and gore, nudity, for adults only. Each episode is self contained so you can watch any of them and not feel lost in the story. Ends on 3 then connects with the anime Bubblegum Crisis 2030

Summary: Music Videos Dedicated to the Beautiful Knight Sabers :-)
Review: 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.

Summary: Original 80's Anime Series
Review: The good news is that this is a classic, original tale of four women who wear battlesuits and beat up on bad guys. The bad news is that, much like Shakespeare, there are a lot of cliches. In particular, the structure of the relationship between the girls and the VERY 80's pop-rock music drag a bit. If you are a true anime fan (and don't mind 80's pop) this is an excellent addition and a good value - especially given the historical context. If you are a casual browser, you might want to pick something more contemporary.

Summary: One of the Best '80s Anime Series Finally Gets a Box Set :-)
Review: The original Bubblegum Crisis is one of the best-known and most-loved anime series. Each of the four DVDs is available separately, but all can finally be purchased at once. The first DVD presents the first three episodes of the Bubblegum Crisis series. The first episode presents the post-earthquake world of MegaTokyo in 2032, with Genom Corporation's Boomers wreaking havoc in the city, and a band of four women (the Knight Sabers) in hardsuits protecting the innocents. The second episdoe focuses on one of the women, Linna, and a close friend who is targeted by a Genom executive. In the final episode, the conflict between Genom and the Knight Sabers escalates. The second DVD presents the episodes 4-6 of the Bubblegum Crisis series. Episode 4 steps away from the Genon-Knight Saber conflict to one man's deep-rooted hatred for a biker gang and his attempt to extract a very high-tech revenge. The fifth episode begins with a group of women attempting an escape from a top-secret space station, leading to the most personal injury Priss has ever received at the hands of a fabled Boomer model. Episode 6 presents the greatest challenge yet to the Knight Sabers, in the form of an evil group of "Knight Sabers" seeking to eliminate the real Genom-fighting quartet. The third DVD of the original Bubblegum Crisis series contains my favorite episodes of the series. Episode 7 of the series introduces an American idol singer, Vision, who suddenly comes out of obscurity to start a new concert tour, beginning in Tokyo, although she really has revenge on her mind. The final episode of the original BGC series finds a snoopy reporter working with one of the Knight Sabers to uncover the identities of the fabled all-female fighting force even as Genom launches a new line of Boomers specifically to defeat the Knight Sabers. Finally, the disc ends with four BGC music videos featuring the music of the series' own music group Priss and the Replicants set against excellent footage of the Bubblegum Crisis series. 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. Each DVD is constructed extremely well. With the exception of the Hurricane Live DVD (the last in the set), all offer Japanese and English audio; all four DVDs have English and French subtitle options, as well as a musical image gallery featuring highlights of the episodes on each disc. The only downfall to the DVD construction is that there is no way to play all episodes of each DVD sequentially. 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 Box Set provides anime newcomers with an excellent introduction to the world of anime.

Summary: A classic sci-fi Anime
Review: The story is set in future tokyo (what sci-fi anime is not?) which is still recovering from a major earthquake. The story revolves around the fight between a corrupt company called GENOM and a group of female vigilantes called Knight Sabers. This 8-part series has a excellent collection of songs that make up its soundtrack. The music reminds me of 80's rock and roll. If you watch only one anime series in your life make it this one. You won't be disappointed!!!!!

Summary: Please be well aware...
Review: There isn't much I can add to all the other reviews but one: The original 3 DVD's gave you the option to either listen to the English or Japanese soundtracks. Personally I hate the English track but if for some reason you preferred English over Japanese, for the serie as well as the music, then this DVD is not for you.
This blast from the past houses all the music from the Bubble Gum Crisis but only in their original language. If you never listened to the Japanese tracks on the BGC DVD's before now would be a good time to do so (after putting this disk in your wishlist, believe me: you'll need it later on :-)).
