Unfortunately the opening theme song, which we hear in its original Japanese form in the subtitled version, has a strong beat and really good vocal, but in the English remake is a real snoozer. When AnimEigo released the dubbed version of this episode, they completely re-did the vocal tracks as well.

More really good music for this series with two or three songs being played in this episode. The show ends with a really odd-ball choice of end themes - the scene is a gravesite, but the song ( Kizudarake no Wild) has a very upbeat tempo to it. Ito Miki (Gally in Battle Angel) does a fine job as Irene, Linna's new friend.
It's a short episode, so you can't really cover a lot of ground, but overall, it's well directed - no dead spots in the scripting. There are some really good combat scenes between the Knight Sabres and the female boomers unfortunately, the quality of animation isn't up to the standards we've come to expect in shows these days. Unfortunately, all the power and drive is gone in the English remake of the song.) We also get to see a lot of character development, especially in the case of Linna, the aerobics instructor. (This statement does not apply in the dubbed version of the video. Once again, the episode starts with a great opening song - in this case, Mad Machine. Irene's fiancé had been mysteriously killed while working on a classified boomer project, and now Irene was determined to expose the culprits. Meanwhile, Linna befriends a young woman, Irene, whom she had been teaching at the gym. For Mason has already a receptacle for the unit: the new Super-Boomer. Mason, in his quest for power within the GENOM ranks, has sent his three boomer bodyguards after the AI module. Commander Swartz hires the Knight Sabers to recover the module - but he is not the only one after it. The destruction of Aqua City has temporarily put the AI module in Cynthia out of reach of U.S.S.D. Does it both allow me to relieve my childhood and look down upon kids today? You betcha.Distributed by: TOEMI (Japan), AnimEigo (North America) Some of the dubbing is dubious and the live action music videos contained in the extras are simply painful. The episodes are not connected well and vary in quality. Is Bubble Crisis as good as I remember it? No.

I can sit back and watch full grown woman destroy some boomers (as well as half of Tokyo) and reminisce about my childhood when cartoon characters swore and every battle was followed by a gratuitous nude scene. As I settle into my damn kids today voice and distaste for every over hyped, rapid cut seizure inducing, saccharine piece of crap that passes for entertainment these days. Bubblegum crisis is an Anime of the latter. Do your favorite plots involve the little kids defeating the big evil corporation or adults facing economic hardship and self sacrifice. Do you think irritating children or kick ass adults. When you think Japanese cartoons do you think Pokemon or shower scenes. Bubblegum Crisis much like Akira or Macross is one of those Anime that separate the thirty something Anime fans from this year's crop of snot nosed wannabees. Bubblegum 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.
