Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSet six to seven years after the original Bubblegum Crisis, but this series is quite different in its continuity with the original. The first few episodes deal with Lina Yamazaki searching for and joining the Knight Sabers, but in the original series, Lina was already an established member of the team.
- GoofsIn "One Of These Nights", Leon's weight trainer glove disappears from his hand in the close up of him showing Priss the video scan of the soldiers who are moving in to Tokyo to fight the boomer plague.
- Quotes
Nene Romanova: Come ON, Priss! We have to hurry, come on!
Priss S. Asagiri: SHUT UP or I'm going to spank you.
Nene Romanova: [Scoffs] I'd like to see you TRY!
- Alternate versionsIn the english-dubbed version of episode one (Can't Buy A Thrill) a scene where Priss was sitting alone on a pier was shortened. In the DVD release, this scene was returned to the original length, including Priss humming "I'll Be Waiting For You", the closing theme to the series.

Featured review
The original Bubblegum Crisis came out in 1985 and spawned a very popular following on both sides of the pacific. It was also one of the earliest anime titles to get a video release in the states. An 8-part OAV series, it was a mix of Charlies's Angels, Batman, and Terminator. Now, it's been remade as a television series. Although the animation has a much cleaner look and incredibly vivid color, it's not as fluid as the original OAVs, but that shouldn't be a problem. The story expands on the concepts of the OAV, and exceeds them to a degree. It's also much darker, to an extent. The Boomer design isn't as realistic as those in the original OAVs-here, the Boomers appear more like Zombies or Monsters when they go nuts. The character designs and personalities are also very different(and very 90's) But the changes help improve the series rather than hinder it. Overall, it's very pleasing.
