Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 Review

I think it's safe to assume my last few reviews have covered remakes so here's another one.

In 2040, robots called boomers have taken over most basic jobs but some start going rogue and causing problems with the AD Police stuck for answers, a vigilante group of women in mechanical hard suits come in and destroy the boomers.
After witnessing such an event, Linna Yamazaki seeks out the vigilantes known as the Knight Sabers in a bid to join them and put an end to the rogue boomer problem.
This version doesn't deviate too much from the original 80s version in terms of story but the art style is well updated to reflect the cyberpunk setting of the world. It also gives the characters more dimensions than their 80s counterparts, even characters traditionally not well liked get a well deserved upgrade, this is especially true for everyone who isn't Priss who was always an awesome character in the 80s original but her edgy upgrade in this is strangely welcome despite the reputation of so called Edgelords of the era.
Dub is solid and way better than those in the original.
If I had to compare them directly, I always felt the original was more fun and the situation of the day was always a compelling watch; Tokyo 2040 while the design is much better and more art appropriate for the setting it does lose itself in the lore and can drag in the middle especially when were forced to deal with Sylia's brother.
Final Verdict: Tokyo 2040 is better made, better with it's characters, has a setting that works for it's cyberpunk aesthetic and is better voice acted, it just let itself down a bit on story.
