At the time, in the early 90's, when this show was new it one of first to have the main heros be a group of strong female characters. While man vs machine (or anything else man has created) wasn't a new concept even then, it presented the concept in a manner that seemed somewhat more
plausible than most anything else I had seen at the time. While the music is standard J-pop it fit the show well and is easy to enjoy. Action is easily the strong point of the show though don't expect really anything ground breaking, however, it is done well. The story is good, though some of the individual videos do drag a bit or are a little hard to follow. Also, some of the characters aren't as well developed as one character is over focused on. By the end of the series that has been straighten out some. All in all, a good series and for it's time a classic, but not perfect.moreless

Bubblegum Crisis is the story of four mercenaries, called the Knight Sabers, living in Tokyo in the year 2033. After a massive earthquake destroyed much of Tokyo, a new city, MegaTokyo, was recreated thanks to the aid of a multi-million dollar company, GENOM Corp. GENOM created and mass-produced biomechanical creatures called Boomers to aid in the restoration of MegaTokyo. However, the Boomers soon began to go out of control. Thus, the ADPolice stepped up to fend them off. The Boomers probed to be too much for them to handle, and the Knight Sabers where born! Siding with neither the ADPolice nor GENOM, the Knight Sabers simply fight for money and safety.
The series began airing on AOL's online streaming service on May 2, 2007.
