I know I said I was taking a break from Bubblegum Crisis... I lied.
Apparently, I'm a liar.
Bubblegum Crisis has a finale of sorts that is received typically with booing and hissing, when discussing the amazing OAV series of BGC it is important to give it some humility by noting the horror of it's unpleasant and barely canon-based conclusion. Naturally, I'm speaking of the infamous Bubblegum Crash!
As a child of the 80's I was on the receiving end of a deluge of of marketing, one particular niche of this deluge being Japanese animation. This is a niche that haunted the very core of my being and shaped my appreciation of animation as an art form with it's style, stories and distinctive application of drama, action and comedy. Allow me to entertain you as I bloviate, babble, and rant regarding aspects of anime today and titles I would strongly recommend or prescribe caution towards.
