5.0 out of 5 stars BETTER THAN VOL. 1!, November 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040: Trial by Fire [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After I've seen vol.1, I was a bit dissappointed because the plot didn't seem too unpredictable. But now that I've watched vol. 2, I saw that the first volume was just a set up for a series of mysteries: "is Sylia a boomer?" "what about Mackie's true nature?" "who is the man called Nigel?" "what's Priss real motivation on the team?" "was Linna serious about competing against Priss?". Also, the new characterizations are getting better and better. The old Knight Sabers were too predictable. This new team had interesting new personalities that were never seen in any other anime. Not to mention, I think the new Knight Sabers are much more ruthless now with that new Sylia on their team.

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting better all the time...., December 12, 1999

The characters seem to be developing far beyond the "cute mercenary girls in armor" that the original BGC series portrayed them as. The dub job isn't as good as some, but better than most, with a few notable exceptions. Priss' voice NEVER matches her lips when she's singing, but that's the hardest part. I only wish they hadn't chopped it up in half hour segments.... And made me wait two months for the next tape!

4.0 out of 5 stars Tension Builds for the Knight Sabers, December 22, 2004

This review is from: Bubblegum Crisis - Tokyo 2040 - Leviathans (Vol. 3) (DVD)

Volume Three is a distinct improvement over volume two. "Leviathans" has more action, more plot progression, and more character development. Some secrets are revealed, one about Nigel and one about Mackey; but I won't spoil them. Romantic tension builds between Nene and Mackey. It's cute, you know? I hope it can work out for them! I will not forgive the series creators if they just let Nene and Mackey's interest in each other drop.

Nene is getting on Priss' nerves because Nene is being reckless during battles. Priss even asks Sylia to let Nene go! Wow, that is gall. You will have to watch to see what happens. In a more introspective moment, Lina returns to her hometown in the country, where she has an arranged date with a surprisingly handsome and understanding young man. Again, I hope to see more of these two together.

Genom is messing with both military and bio-mechanics in this volume. There is a huge, disturbing creature eating Boomers that do work deep underground. And a huge military Boomer wreaks havoc in the city. With the appearances of these two Leviathans, Leon and his partner Daley begin to suspect something is up with Genom - and they take investigative steps. Will discovery of the Knight Sabers' identities be far behind?

This DVD has four episodes, #9-12. They are:
9. My Nation Underground
10. Woke Up With a Monster
11. Sheer Heart Attack
12. Made in Japan

As far as extras, there are none. It is disappointing to see that there are only three character profiles in the "extras."
