Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Eeesh....
Review: This series was pretty good. The animation isn't the greatest and it goes by a little slow for me and my brother, but over all not too bad. I wouldn't really recommend buying it unless you like classic anime.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sweet
Review: This was one of the best Bubblegum Crisis episodes ever made, it is loaded with action and an extremely cool storyline about a group of robot suit warriors called the "Knight Sabers"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A "must" for every anime&cyberpunk fan.Also:rock&roll,bikes!
Review: Time: near future (2032-2033). Place: Tokyo, few years after a great earthquake. Situation: Corporate rule. Boomers on the loose. Who you're gonna call? KNIGHT SABERS!

Classical cyberpunk anime with great music, nice animation, interesting plot and a healthy dose of humour (i.e. poor Nene figthting with a cake and loosing ;). Four girls in HardSuits fight for peace, love and justice ;-) Mainly against the evil GENOM corporation and it's cyborgs/androids - boomers, but not only. BTW: if you've seen "Blade Runner" you will notice few similarities - i.e. GENOM towers look a lot like the Tyrel Corp. main building.

Thist is a 4-DVD set with all 8 episodes and many music videoclips.

PS: the original soundtrack is MUCH better then the english DUB (hear the original "Hurricane" and the english version - the second one is HORRIBLE).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally can watch the whole series.
Review: Well this box set has two very big pluses over the last box set. One, it doesn't have the "glitch" in the second chapter, and the second which is a big plus in my book is that the packaging is in normal dvd cases instead of jewel cases, and the box is alot smaller so it can fit in my bookcase with the rest of my DVD's. I had bought the first set, but had to stuff it away somewhere else because of it's size.

The series is exceptional, and I have enjoyed watching it multiple times with the original box set I got "save the glitch". It has all the stuff that makes for a good movie, including a plot for the most part. Some chapters are continuations of each other, while others are stories in themselves, but they are all good. The music video's are good as well.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Hopefully the next volumes are better
Review: Well what can I say, I found this volume boring and that it moved along very slowly. I still plan to view the next volumes but I was not impressed with this first volume. The whole time I was watching I kept thinking "When will the episode(s) end,?" and had "so what" thoughts to the plot as it went along. If you are easily entertained um, watch this. But I feel my 2 year old brother could start this anime off better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Classic that never dies
Review: While it is true that parts of this series can be dated and cliched by newer titles, this was one of the big ones that developed mecha sci-fi. Watching the Knight Sabers fight the evil corporation of Genom is like looking through a type of history book almost. You see where a lot of ideas and influences came from. Even today it is still a wonderful series to watch and I highly reccomend it to all.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What's up with "Bubble Gum Crisis"?
Review: Why is it called Bubble Gum Crisis, I DON'T UNDERSTAND! It doesn't have anything to do with bubble gum so why is it called that? If any one could tell me that would be helpful.
