MAN I MISS THE GOOD OLD DAYS. The Music, the animation the characters, love Bubblegum Crisis so much.

[freddythescout]

I remember being 11 years old and writing letters to Anim-Eigo so they could send me their catalog. It was a Tri-Fold Brochure that had such classics as Vampire Princess Miyu, Bubblegum Crisis, Bubblegum Crash, and AD Police..

[MaskedRiderChris]

Definitely one of the best songs on this soundtrack, for me, and that's a tough call since it's full of great songs. '80s city pop like this has been helping me through these crazy times we're living in, for sure.

Cómo amaba Bubblegum Crisis, tanto la clásica cómo la que salió después, esta serie es simplemente genial.

[twitchykun]

Hey, 12 more years until the Knight Sabers make their debut and start saving Neo Tokyo!

[Devilsblood]

How to describe bubblegum crisis to a newbie:

The girls from Sailor moon in Iron man suits fighting advanced Robots in the city from Blade Runner.

[guyfellows]

20-some years later and I still love this song. This is the same video they played in the previews for this particular VHS episode, which is a funny choice because it basically gives away the entire conclusion, but I was still super down to get it.

With the recent rise in popularity of 1970s and 1980s Japanese city pop, Yuiko Tsubokura and city pop artists known for their anime songs should become better known outside anime fandom.

This song is no more worse than other Western 80's Pop music but is actually Amazingly, Amazingly better than a lot of 80's Western Pop music. Fantastic sounding music.

[MOLONLABE]

I remember this on 1994/95 I was waiting for am VHS cassette To see street fighter ll the animated movie....this was the trailer before the Movie...I loved it

[HammitBlackwood]

Love that Largo has the most dismissive dodge in history.

[scottphillips]

And I much prefer this over the English version.

[wyattward]

This episode destroyed me emotionally. My first time listening to this song I was a sobbing wreck.

[tracyndiyob]

happy 35th anniversary bubblegum crisis!!! :3

[segasonic]

I have to wonder how the series would have ended if Priss was killed off in this episode (6) as originally planned. I always thought the last episode was a huge anticlimax to one of the greatest OVAs ever put to film. So, I wonder what the true ending was?

[RW]

always reminded me of 'Push It To The Limit'
a little too peppy for cyberpunk dystopia

[getreal]

I ever wondered about the lyrics/subtitles to this song as you can hear clearly between before the very last 'Rock me' the Russian word Спаси́бо, meaning 'thank you'. Still, amazing song and one of the best from that show.

[ButrzV]

Not the best song from the series, but goddamn did u do an awesome job showcasing the badass of this series.

[scottphillips]

I also miss the days of Anime when the girls looked like girls and the guys looked like guys. Now it's hard to tell them apart most of the time.

Back then I was part of a club (the Baka Club) at the UofA. They used to get all the latest Anime in. I couldn't wait to get the latest stuff. I think I saw an AD Police soundtrack CD around here the other day. And I recently watched a Ghost In the Shell special edition VHS tape that I found when going through a box of tapes. Surprisingly still decent quality.
Ya, good times. 🙂
