BUBBLEGUM CRASH! - MELT DOWN | Episode 03 (English Subs) | Full 1990s ANIME OVA HD

Fans of Mamoru Oshii's Patlabor, Macross and Ghost In The Shell cannot miss this seminal cyberpunk mecha anime with the legendary character designs by Kenichi Sonoda. Bubblegum Crash! is a three-episode Original Video Animation (OVA) series and a direct sequel to the highly influential eight-episode OVA series Bubblegum Crisis (1987-1991). The story takes place one year after the original, in the neon-drenched, dystopian Megatokyo of 2034. The girl mercenary group known as the Knight Sabers—Sylia Stingray, Priss Asagiri, Linna Yamazaki, and Nene Romanova—has been reunited and must face the threat of a virus which mysteriously infects all Boomers, making them go rogue. They also have to defeat Largo, who has come back from the dead replacing half his body for machinery and transforming himself into a Boomer. Sylia needs to muster the strength of her fellow Knight Sabers, with the fate of Megatokyo and that of mankind hanging in the balance... The production history for Bubblegum Crash is tumultuous and significant. It was produced by Artmic and Artland but represents a transitional and ultimately curtailed phase in the franchise. The original Bubblegum Crisis OVA run was cut short after 8 episodes due to disputes between the primary production companies and the music label, Youmex. Bubblegum Crash was an attempt to continue the story without Youmex's involvement, but ongoing litigation over the rights to characters and concepts led to the abrupt cancellation of Crash after only 3 episodes. This context explains its brevity and its function as a relatively rushed, definitive conclusion to the original storyline universe, before the franchise was later rebooted with Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 (1998). It is a classic piece of late 80s/early 90s Japanese Cyberpunk OVA, characterized by high-quality, often detailed animation, a rock-and-roll soundtrack (though with different performers than the original Crisis), and a gritty yet stylish futuristic setting. Cyberpunk is its most defining sub-genre. The entire Bubblegum saga features a high-tech, low-life setting: a dark, rainy, neon-lit megacity run by a powerful corporation (Genom), where the protagonists are outlaws operating in the fringes of society against oppressive high-tech forces. The themes of human/machine integration, social decay, and corporate control are classic cyberpunk staples, heavily influenced by works like Blade Runner. It's a prime example of 1990s mecha anime, even if —unlike large, piloted Gundam-style mecha— the Knight Sabers use sleek, heavily armed exoskeleton power armor (Hard Suits) to fight. This focuses the action on high-speed, close-quarters combat utilizing the suits' abilities. And finally it's a great Girls with Guns (GwC) production. The primary protagonists are an all-female team who are highly proficient in combat and weaponry, often relying on their powered suits in action sequences. This specific stylistic sub-genre of action anime was very popular in the late 80s and early 90s. Bubblegum Crash (1991) Genre: Science Fiction © 2025 MVD Entertainment.
