About
*still under construction*Bubblegum Crisis (バブルガムクライシス) is a classic Cyber-Punk anime OVA, with a manga adaptation, that first aired in 1987 and was directed by Akiyama Katsuhito. BGC was initially intended to be run for a full 13 episodes, however, licensing issue arose between the two companies, Artmic and Youmex, that held dual rights over the series which resulted in the OVA being cut down from the planned thirteen episode to just eight.
While the OVA received a lukewarm reception in Japan, it was widely recieved in North America. As a result of it's North American popularity, BGC was one of the first anime series that was brought over in the early 90's completely unedited and fully subtitled in Enligh.
