Ahhh… damn it. Action Channel Month is supposed to, you know, be in one month. September. But for some reason, this one took longer than usual. Well, it’s not like I have enough of a following (or any) to dash expectations. If I do this again next year (though I may replace it with another kind of theme month), I’ll try to get three videos done on time. I’m only doing a few more videos this year because of personal reasons, but I’ll try my best.
Anyway, Bubblegum Crisis is a one of those anime that got popular back before I was an anime fan, video tapes passed around college campuses, the classic Usenet newsgroup, the 40 second clips that took 90 minutes to download on a dial-up modem, etc. I’d heard the title, but it sounded a little too bizarre. Even when I learned the premise, I let it pass me by. When I started watching anime on The Action Channel, however, I finally got a chance to see what the fuss was about, and I was pretty impressed. Badass beauties battling bots in breastplates with bit rates? Brilliant!
