Hate to say it, but 2040 was superior in many ways, though not completely perfect in and of itself.Д«ubblegum Crisis: 7 out of 10: Hot chicks, giant robots, and evil corporations fill every frame of Bubblegum Crisis as does some surprisingly catchy Eighties tunes.

Remade for TV as 'Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040' in 1999. Animation is still pretty good in most of the eps (excluding the first one, which is a bit herky jerky, and the last one, in which the characters are drawn much too thinly) and it had an interesting theme on humanity VS technology.

But the series itself is not inherently bad. I could never quite figure out what Leon saw in her. Priss became repetitive and dull after a certain point. But Priss herself was not that interesting of a character: all her episodes basically revolve around her seeking revenge for a minor character friend that we the audience sometimes didn't even get to know in depth. Sadly, most of the series attention was centered on Priss, who somehow became the most popular character of the series, so much in fact that although she was originally suppose to die, a fan backlash saved her I think this was due partly to the fact that she was voiced by a then popular Japanese singer. Nene was cute and funny but only had one episode to call her own, the last one. Linna had potential, but her subplot involving a friend who was apart of a mafia family was never resolved and most of the time Linna was just ignored. The most interesting character, the Knight Saber ringleader Sylia, is never completely explored. Also the characters are never as well developed as you would like them to be. A sequel series, Bubblegum Crash, was concocted to solve this problem but it didn't help. Originally slated for 13 episodes, it was cut short at episode 8, leaving many series plot threads unresolved. A good series overall, but being dated is the least of its problems. Mason (killed off too soon) and an obnoxious boomer man named Largo. The villains include Quincy, chairman of GENOM, the company that produces the boomers, his right hand man Brian J. Oh and Sylia has a pervert whiz kid for a brother by name of Mackey. Other characters include ADP man Leon McNichol, a Brad Pitt like pretty boy with high ideals and a jerky attitude as well as a thing for Priss and with Leon is his hilarious partner Daley Wong. The others include rebellious biker girl Priss Asagiri, aerobics instructor Linna Yamazki and ADP computer hacker Nene. The Knight Saber ring leader is Sylia Stingray, a rich, mysterious brunette who is the daughter of the man who created the boomers and whom might actually be a boomer herself. In a 'Blade Runner' like future, four vigilante women - the Knight Sabers - assist the AD Police in fighting boomers, living machines not unlike the Replicants from 'Blade Runner'.
