In a future version of Tokyo, where technology has developed to extraordinary heights, trouble is always looming in the form of rogue robots known as Boomers. These machines were originally created to make life easier for humans, but after a few malfunctions, the Boomers began to turn on their creators and wreak havoc throughout the city. In response, a group of women known as the Knight Sabers form a vigilante team to combat the Boomers and save the city from disaster.

Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 follows the story of these women: Sylia Stingray, Priss Asagiri, Nene Romanova, and Linna Yamazaki. Sylia is the leader of the Knight Sabers and the creator of their advanced power suits, called Hard Suits, which give them incredible strength, agility, and firepower. Priss is a rockstar by day and a vigilante by night, using her musical talent and combat skills to take down the Boomers. Nene is the brains of the operation, working as a computer expert and hacker to gather information and support the team from behind the scenes. Linna is the newest member of the group, bringing her martial arts expertise and street smarts to the fight.

Throughout the series, the Knight Sabers face not only the endless threat of the Boomers but also challenges within their own group. Sylia is haunted by her past and the loss of her father, who was killed by the very machines she now fights against. Priss struggles with her place in the world as both a performer and a fighter, while Nene navigates the complexities of being the youngest member of the team. Linna must balance her responsibilities as a Knight Saber with her job at a fitness center and her romantic relationships.

The series features a wide range of characters, from allies to enemies, each with their own unique skills and personalities. Quincy Rosenkreutz is the wealthy CEO of the Rosenkreutz Foundation, which funds the development of the Hard Suits and supports the Knight Sabers' efforts. Other allies include Sylia's butler, Nigel, and Leon McNichol, a member of the AD Police who eventually becomes a friend to the Knight Sabers. On the villainous side, there are several Boomers with personalities and desires of their own, as well as a shadowy figure known only as "the mysterious voice."

Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 is a thrilling action-packed anime with a strong focus on character development and relationships. The animation is top-notch, with vibrant colors and fluid movements that bring the high-tech world to life. The music is also a standout feature, with a mix of hard rock, techno, and J-pop that perfectly fits the tone of the series.

The series explores themes such as the dangers of technology and the consequences of playing god, as well as the power of human connection and friendship. The Knight Sabers are not just powerful fighters, but also a close-knit group of women who support and care for each other through thick and thin.

Overall, Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 is a must-watch for fans of sci-fi, action, and character-driven stories. With a compelling plot, dynamic characters, and stunning animation and music, it remains a classic of the anime genre.

Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (26 episodes). The series first aired on May 19, 2001.
