Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040

The original "Bubblegum Crisis" was one of the first animes I had the chance to see in my life, since my parents rented two of the original Ovas from a video store thinking they were movies for kids. I actually loved it, even when I didn't fully understand the plot.

Some years later, I had the chance to see this remake series, which I also liked a lot, despite some changes done to the plot and characters, but keeping the essence of the original: The animation and designs were quite good, the soundtrack was more than decent. Additionally, tthe plot was very interesting, with likeable characters and complex themes explored in a dynamic, non-pretentious manner, being also helped by its thrilling atmosphere.

I never understood why this anime wasn't more popular. And it is certainly more deserving of appreciation than many other forgetable titles which I prefer not to name.

If you like animes like "Ghost in the Shell" and superhero comics like Iron Man, this is your series.
