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”…

I had trouble deciding whether or not the best Bubblegum Crisis episode should be my answer to Day 6, but then I realized that the episode would better serve established and potential fans alike as a pilot. Even though “Tinsel City” is our introduction into the world of MegaTokyo, it just doesn’t quite have the…

This, without a doubt, is the easiest challenge day of this month, and I’m not even going to hide it behind the cut: the final episode, “Scoop Chase.” Like … it’s not necessarily bad. It just doesn’t have as strong a plot as the other episodes do, and it’s a lot of rehashing of previous…

Less episodes always means this challenge day is hard, and Bubblegum Crisis is no different. Although the episodes do follow a type of continuity, you could technically watch them in any order and not really lose much, and that gives each the equal opportunity to be my favorite.

Ahhhh, this brings me back to my days as a sales associate at Sam Goody/Suncoast. When Jeff, my manager, asked me which side of the store I would rather work, I immediately told him that I wanted “to live with the movies,” an answer he found amusing. Music was fine, but it didn’t mesmerize me…
