But anyways, each main character here definitely has their own traits: Priss is the rogue whom does as she pleases and doesn't like people holding her back, Lina comes off as the strong willed girl who will do anything to get to the top, Nene is the odd and spunky younger one that should never be underestimated when it comes to the technical stuff, and Sylia is the cheerful yet oh so mysterious leader whom might leave you in the dark at times, but you'll get your answers eventually. However (I'll blame the last story arc), you are kind of left wanting to see them develop a little more towards the end, like they were just a little unfinished or something. The main thing I got out of these last parts was the emphasis on self discovery.ĬHARACTER: The character development is definitely a huge improvement compared to the OVA and overall done very nicely. Regardless I clearly believe they could've taken a different route and thrown out the last arc of the story here for something much better. The ideals and questions presented are nothing that'll really make you scratch your head over, but at the same time they shouldn't completely bore you out of your mind either. Luckily, it doesn't seem to go too over the top with this and doesn't try to shove tons of silly ideas or anything down your neck.

What really caused the earthquake that happened many years ago? Is their a source to all the Boomer outbreaks? Where exactly do the Knight Saber suits come from? What is Sylia's true motive? All these questions eventually come into play as the story becomes more than just straight up action against Boomers.īut that's also where the series slightly derails, about a 3rd or 4th of the way in they throw the philosophical card at you and the show ends up trying to be 'deep'. Originally it was nothing but a friendly competition between the AD Police and the Knight Sabers, but eventually things start to go deeper. Fate eventually brings all these girls together in an effort to fight against the Boomers. She gives birth to the powerful mobile armor dubbed 'Knight Sabers' that can only be worn by a very select few women. She is an incredibly wealthy billionaire with a close friend Nigel whom is an incredibly skilled engineer and mechanic. However, she wants nothing more than to see the end of their production and very existence for unknown reasons. Stingray who helped build the foundation of the Boomers in the first place. In comes Sylia Stingray, daughter of the infamous Dr.

Can the AD Police alone stop this crisis? Genom ends up taking things even further by diving into illegal trade and develops combat Boomers and various other things, eventually becoming quite an issue. In an attempt to stop these outbreaks the Advance Police Forces, or AD Police for short, was born. However being built in such haste the Boomers were not without their fault and at times, went berserk causing chaos and destruction throughout the city, but Genom had such a strong hold on Mega Tokyo that nobody could bring about the end of the Boomers construction. These Boomers came in many packages, some would look like giant trackers of sorts that handled construction, while others would look totally identical to human beings, handling jobs such as a receptionist and whatnot. A powerful company by the name of Genom comes into play here and introduces the 'Boomers', humanoid mech's built with the sole ideal to help rebuild and restore the most technological advanced city in the world, in which they ended up calling Mega Tokyo.

STORY: The year is obviously 2040 where Tokyo has been reborn after a devastating earthquake that took out the majority of the city, to rebuild such a complex place once again humans needed something to help them. The biggest difference between them is that the OVA was mainly episodic based and 2040 is not, containing more of a single overarching plot. They're alternate versions of each other therefore nothing is really connected, other than the fact that they're different stories with some of the same characters in the same setting and whatnot.īecause of this I'll make a few comparisons here and there between the two. Simply put it was a nice break from your everyday typical anime, harem, mecha, comedy, fantasy, whatever.Ģ040 is an indirect sequel to the original Bubblegum Crisis (sometimes with the additional '2032' or just 'OVA' thrown at the end there). Bubblegum Crisis 2040 is quite an oddball series, it was something I really enjoyed watching simply for the fact that it's rather unique and there's just not a lot out there quite like it.
