Bubble Gum Crisis Tokyo 2040 is a futuristic anime series produced by AIC and based on the original Bubblegum Crisis franchise. The show follows four women, members of a group of tough, man-fighting vigilantes, as they attempt to protect the citizens of Mega-Tokyo from the dangers of Genom, a massive corporation that has taken control of the city.

The lead character is Linna Yamazaki, a young woman who is new to the group of vigilantes known as the Knight Sabers. She joins the team after witnessing their heroic actions in battle and quickly becomes a valuable member of the group. Linna is intelligent and resourceful, willing to do whatever it takes to defend the people of Mega-Tokyo.

Sylia Stingray, the leader of the Knight Sabers, is a wealthy businesswoman who uses her considerable resources to create advanced mechanical suits that enable the group to fight against the dangerous robots known as Boomers. Sylia is quiet and reserved, keeping her emotions tightly controlled as she focuses on the task at hand.

Priss Asagiri is a talented musician and singer who moonlights as a Knight Saber. Her powerful voice and fierce fighting skills make her a formidable opponent. Priss is also fiercely independent, struggling to balance her love of music with her duty as a vigilante.

Finally, Nene Romanova is the youngest member of the group and serves as the Knight Sabers' hacker. She uses her skills to provide tactical support during missions and is always eager to help out her fellow team members. Nene is a bubbly, outgoing person who provides a bit of levity to the otherwise serious situation.

Together, the Knight Sabers work to take down the powerful Genom corporation and its army of Boomers. They face a variety of challenges along the way, including betrayals, kidnappings, and unexpected alliances. Through it all, they remain steadfast in their commitment to protect the people of Mega-Tokyo.

The series features stunning animation and compelling action scenes, with each episode showcasing the unique abilities and personalities of the four main characters. The voice acting is top-notch, with the talented cast lending depth and nuance to each character's portrayal.
