What if the Hardsuits and Motoslaves from "Bubblegum Crisis" and "Bubblegum Crash!" were in Super Robot Wars? An ability showcase.

Bubblegum Crisis is an incomplete 8 episode cyberpunk OVA series taking heavily influence from American cyberpunk movies and other films dealing with urban decay. Despite its moody setting, the series also includes elements of light-hearted humour along with more dramatic stories. This video limits its scope to the original Bubblegum Crisis continuity, which included the 3 episode OVA A.D. Police Files, an especially dark prequel which includes on of the supporting characters from Bubblegum Crisis. Bubblegum Crash! is a 3 episode sequel OVA in the same continuity.

The stories are set in the futuristic Mega Tokyo, where androids known as Boomers are produced by major corporations and violent crime involving them has also become common. The AD Police are established to deal with this problem, but are often too ineffective to combat Boomers and have no jurisdiction to deal with the mostly legal corporations that are at the source of the issue. The heroines of the story are the Knight Sabers, a team acting as both under the counter mercenaries and vigilantes to combat the dangerous crime that the AD Police fails to.

The original Bubblegum Crisis consists of largely separate stories primarily revolving Genom, a particular corporation that illegally produces military-use Boomers. While it began its release soon after Bubblegum Crisis' run ended, the sequel Bubblegum Crash! does not continue the original Genom storyline. Instead, it pits the Knight Sabers against an enigmatic terrorist organization.

The Bubblegum Crisis franchise is also notable for its many legal issues. Priss Asagiri's original voice actor, Kinuko Oomori, was signed with a record label that did not approve of the many songs she sings for the series. As a result, Priss is instead voiced by Ryouko Tachikawa in the sequel. Additionally, the studios involved in the production of the original series had a falling out during production, culminating in a lawsuit after Bubblegum Crash! was created without the involvement or permission of all parties.
