that aside the characters reminded me a lot of how they act in 2040 pretty often. The only issue that might bother me here is that Priss could be a little out of character, with her constant attitude and decision with being a Knight Saber and fighting Boomers changing - but I have to ask, do you really go in watching Bubblegum Crisis for an in depth story and thought provoking characters? Not exactly, if you ask me. I've head some complaints about this one mainly geared towards the plot being a little contradicting against some events in the OVA. Oh and the opening is just downright awesome, timeless stuff!
The cyberpunk setting is still very grim, dark, heavily detailed, like it rightfully should be! The music also retains its awesomeness from the original OVA, great 80's hair metal that you can't help but love if you grew up in the age. Same, with many improvements because it's newer - this made me second guess myself after saying I liked the redesigned characters in 2040, because Priss, Nena, Linna, and Sylia all looked really cool in this one. The animation and everything in that aspect is the It could be a good read along with this review though.Ĭrash is basically a direct continuation of the original OVA and it's completely obvious. My review for 2040 was probably too big, so I'll keep this one a little on the shorter side. Kind of a shame because Crash is certainly worth seeing if you're a fan of the OVA and new series. The Crisis OVA and 2040 already seem obscure enough especially around here at MAL and then Crash is just, completely lost in it's own void. Bubblegum Crash seems to get overlooked pretty often.
