this series of eight video be by far my favorite japanese animation series . my other favorite be akira ( superb detail and excellent color scheme and artistic aspect ) and ghost in the shell ( great opening scene and strong atmosphere ) but my heart be capture by bubblegum crisis and it cast of female character . one of strongest feature ( esp . in the first episode ) be the soundtrack while albeit in general japanese pop music sound pretty childish to most listener and the song from bubblegum crisis have something special to them .
