This week we're headed back to 2032 anime as chosen by premium parton James, meaning more Bubblegum Crisis! After covering the sixth episode last August, we return to the pioneering OVA series to discuss the debut of Priss, Sylvia, and the rest in this cyberpunk adventure! So get ready to feel the hurricane in this week's podcast!

While watching this I was definitely wondering if I was either just stupid or not paying enough attention in regards to some of the plot holes, so I'm glad it wasn't just me. That being said, since I knew nothing about the show before its prior WAC episode, I enjoyed this A LOT more since it was back to the beginning, enough so that I might watch the episodes between this and 6, and then give the prior WAC another shot. Revisits can be good even for shows I don't already love!

Loved Bubblegum Crisis growing up and while maybe it's not as good as i remembered, it still holds a place in my heart.

There's a lot of "subtlety" in the show that is really not made clear, among them being that Sylia (not Sylvia) might be a Boomer. I'm not sure if this stuff was meant to be explored later and they ran out of money, or if it's just poor delivery. As for the lack of OVA quality fan service and violence, it seems like they saved a lot of that for the spinoff AD Police Files. That show went a lot more extreme and dark. The first episode is about a suicidal robocop whose creator sexually assaults him while he's charging. And like Henry, I also watched Streets of Fire for the first time recently, and BGC totally rips off the opening. Both of those songs are so good though. The first 15 minutes of Streets of Fire is amazing. Unfortunately, the rest of it just doesn't live up to it. The Warriors is a much better Walter Hill movie.

Good overview of the messiest episode of an already messy franchise. Also, your talk about the early days of anime distribution made me want show off this promo that an Japanese distribution company put out for American media companies. In another world, Buublgum Crisis might've been better known as Futurescape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqQdG8j5DZA
