Gah, barely got this in before my self-imposed deadline! Surprisingly, there are not as many Boomers in BGC as there are in the reboot – a part of it is that it’s only 8 episodes long, while the reboot has 26 – but I feel like they have way more personality than they would otherwise.…

Like I said back on Day 1, I was actually introduced to Bubblegum Crisis via its remake, Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040, and I have to say, it’s difficult to compare the two. The original has similar styling to Miami Vice: colorful and candy-coated exterior with a pessimistic center, almost like a game of whack-a-mole. No…

You know how I kinda shit on “Blow Up” because it was basically a more boring “Born to Kill?” I don’t think I used those exact words, but I kind of wish I had. Oh, well. What’s done is done. Regardless, my least favorite secondary character is very similar, in that they wanted to recreate…

28 day bubblegum crisis challenge, day 11: in which I have a favorite secondary/one-shot character …
Despite only being eight episodes long, Bubblegum Crisis has enough one-shot characters to satisfy literally anyone. You’ve got badass Boomers, friends, lovers, vengeful maniacs, and devilish CEOs. They’re all memorable for their own reasons; for example, Irene from “Born to Kill” is plucky and determined, more so than a lot of the victims of Boomer…

Being that Bubblegum Crisis is only eight episodes long, there aren’t too many villains that grace the screen: Brian J. Mason, Largo, and Quincy are the three major ones. I don’t count the Boomers because they are more like tools as opposed to true villains, and since I already chose Mason as my favorite villain,…

So I have an exam today in … oh, like five hours, and I have to do some last-minute studying, but! I’m going to actually try to stay on top of these, despite school being a clusterfuck at the moment. This is the last week of my Christianity 102 class, so naturally, we have a…

The four women who make up the Knight Sabers aren’t necessarily stereotypes, but they do fit certain roles in the group: Sylia is the stoic leader, Priss is the hotheaded muscle, Linna is the graceful fighter, and Nene is the smart hacker. Even though they’re stronger together than apart, there’s a weak link who just…

I know that Priss Asagiri is a fan favorite, and I get it. She’s tough, brave, quick with her anger, and rides a damn motorcycle like there’s no tomorrow. That’s not even touching the fact that she fronts a rock band, The Replicants, and wears this glorious blonde wig that can make even the most…

Honestly, every single episode of Bubblegum Crisis is a essentially a mini-movie, shrinkie-dinked down to an average of about 40 minutes, and several of them, with a bit of tweaking could be excellent stand-alone movies. However, out of the eight, “Revenge Road” is just a bit more perfect than the other ones; yes, even more…

One of the things that bothers me in television is when writers basically run out of ideas and start rehashing a whole mess of storylines. For example, Buffy wanting to be a normal girl throughout the first two seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer got a little tiring after a while, and Gabrielle staying “pure”…
