BUBBLEGUM CRISIS (1987-1991) is a Japanese dystopian anime from the late 80's, with elements of sci-fi futuristic and cyberpunk elements, as well as both grunge and glam aesthetics. While the premise itself may be a little dated and corny, (girl mercenaries in mech suits that save the world from evil corperation) the show is still very fun and entertaining, along with some great visuals and music. And it certainly made its own dent to the sci-fi anime genre, especially among early anime classics.
"A female mercenary team, armed with unique power armor suits, battle the forces of the corrupt mega-corporation, Genom in futuristic Tokyo."
This series is an 8 episode OVA (Original Video Animation) and an science fiction anime classic. It should not be compared to other original anime classics (like Akira) in my humble opinion. While it's definitely a fun futuristic action series, this series is its own thing, and merges the 80's girl pwr theme smoothly with dystopian science fiction anime and action series. Overall, a really cool watch and throwback series.
