The crisis of bubblegum.

Not too long ago I went to a cheap grocery store (you know, the kind where you bag your own stuff) near my house and saw that they had some DVDs for a buck each. I expected them to be crap nobody cares about, but I managed to find something decent.


sorry it's so small.. I couldn't google anything better

The case looked pretty professional, aside from the huge honking DVD Multiplay logo in the top corner

Anyway, I watched the first episode the other day and enjoyed it very much. I did a quick search here and found that no other topics were created about this anime, so I figured I'd make one.

I know there's BGC 2040 as well. Is it a 'revamped' version of the original story, or something completely new? Are the characters pretty much the same? Which anime do you prefer overall? What are the chances I'll find the other DVDs of the original BGC for a buck each? I kid..

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks, I'll check it out sometime.

I just wish they'd do a proper restoration or something. I picked up the 'remastered' box set and it still looked like crap, which is too friggin' bad because the animation is really, really good.

Yeah, the DVD I have suffers from the same problem. It's pretty 'jumpy', much like the original Neon Genesis Evangelion releases. But the 80's feel is awesome. I love that 'hurricane' song. XD;

There's nowhere I can't reach.
