| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I don't think I quite liked this episode as much as the previous two. Still, this series is generally good and was well worth the time. Guess I'll check out Tokyo 2040 now. 7/10 |

| I liked it, in fact it was my favorite episode of tbe tbree. It was more Bubblegum Crisis, although not as good as its better episodes. It stll delivered a somehwat needed ending to the series. |
 |
| I wasn't expecting quality like the best parts of Bubblegum Crisis but there's no need to bring the worst parts of it back here in the last ep. That was just uncalled for, all those evil shounen laughs gave me a hernia. |
 |
| So finally we learned what Largo was telling in episode 6 of Bubblegum Crisis :-) I wish they will one day make a proper remake :-) |
 |
| So, do the AD Police guys know they are the Knight Sabers? (I haven't seen the series, maybe it's answered there?) |
  |
| Really enjoyed this series. Along with AD Police and BGC 2040. And now i'm just missing Parasite Dolls.:D I rate Bubblegum Crash 7/10. Also, loved the soundtrack. |
| A true man never dies. |
| I liked this more then bubblegum crisis. |
 |
| Not as good as Crisis but maybe it was also I watched these 3 ova eps in shit quality compared to the BD for Crisis. Though I did like this episode the most in Crash and the ending song was the best. |
 |
| I was surprised, I actually enjoyed this episode more than I thought I would. It actually tied up the show quite nicely, which I wasn't expecting from a series that was forced to end early. It might not match the quality of Crisis at it's best but it was relatively well done. All and all, all the OVAs combined, this was a fun ride and I feel like Crisis had the same problems that Crash did (widely varying quality between episodes, continuity issues) just they were exasperated here due to a lower budget and the show being truncated to 3 episodes. (well and episode 2 which just thew everything we knew about Boomers and the characters out the window, but I digress.) |
   |
| Bubblegum Crash was made by a different team, hence the varying animation. But I still think this is pretty enjoyable. |
| I liked Bubblegum Crisis more. The tunes were better and there seemed to be more energy in the proceedings. I also wasn't to crazy about the changes to the boomer creation. |

| Re-watched: Wow, this was way more boring than I remember. I like the way Priss is portrayed here though. |
| Regarding the boomer lore, the corporation is also changed now (somewhat). Zon is namedropped several times, even though we can see Genom briefly in the OP (on Nene's computer, which by the way suggests some involvement with the stock exchange due to the yen signs lol). Starting the "boomer revolution" with industrial workers evokes some obvious connections. And then the united consciousness thing... The whole idea of attacking the A.D.P. building and hacking it was sort of similar to ep. 8 of Crisis. Largo's dialogue with Sylia didn't make too much sense. "Don't wanna control the world? Well that means we're allies, how about controlling the world together?" What's the point of making some screens flash so frequently (e.g. the one with the machine after the final battle)? It doesn't add anything and just worsens the watching experience for some people. Regarding the ending, I think Leon knew only about Priss' involvement with Knight Sabers, yet they're acting as if they all know everything lol. Though maybe he didn't make the connection and treated them as Priss' friends. Well, it was rather cheesy, but at least it was Sylia who shot both of the bad guys, it was more intimate for her than for the others anyway. The post-credits scene was a nice addition, Sylia should still have hope! Especially that part where they shamelessly zoom in on Priss and that Boomer who attacked her face when their fighting in the tunnel. It was pretty damn funny. It was meant to be impactful but... xD P.S. One of the screens had some text about anime subtitles and Antichrist xD P.P.S. Now that I think of it, Priss is the only main character in the entire 11 episodes who suffered serious injuries. And yet they didn't seem to bother her here at all, huh. ------------------- Rei_III said: @St0rmblade I always avoided them in the fear those additional OAVs would be pointless (as I thought the Crisis OAVs were sufficient in themselves and would only become increasingly "useless" and diluted or even less well-made the more there would be). In other words, a 5 or maybe 6/10. Any reason to watch them apart from "completing" the brand ? I didn't hate these episodes like many fans seem to do, but they indeed are less well-made. The episodes are darker (literally), animation got stiffer, etc. They do provide some sort of logical closure, though you'd be fine without them either. Well, there's more music, at least. I guess BGC 2040 is the place to go if you want to have a properly "completed" story (I know many cling to the original and ignore the remake, but the involvement of Chiaki J. Konaka as the primary script writer seduces me to check it out) |

I'm no "original clinger" but I don't have any interest in a full-length series that exploits such a thin concept, no matter how appealing the OAVs present it, something a TV show won't. Plus, the 80s were part of the recipe for Bubblegum, I wouldn't stand an 80s free version. |
