While I wasn’t the biggest fan of Bubblegum Crisis back in the 90s, mostly down to the characters, it has grown on me in the years since. You also have some nice extras in the form of art galleries on the disc.Īs this is also an AnimEigo release, the localization is done very well indeed and is faithful with it. From the characters to the combat, this is a slick looking anime and has aged incredibly well.
With remastered visuals for all 8 episodes, this really helps to show off the quality of the animation. This particular Blu-ray set is very nicely done though. To the extent that this anime OVA is more popular abroad than in Japan, the country of its origin. The interesting thing here is that Bubblegum Crisis was one of the first anime to really make an impact in the West during the initial anime boom of the early 90s. Specifically, what made Bubblegum Crisis stand out at the tail-end of the 80s, was its fresh character designs by Kenichi Sonoda, amazing mecha designs by Shinji Aramaki and impressive animation.

Unfortunately, rights issues halted the production of the original series and subsequent attempts to reboot it didn’t quite manage to capture what made the original Bubblegum Crisis work so well 'Bubblegum Crisis' looks magnificent on Blu-ray.
