Vids: AnimEigo Announces BUBBLEGUM CRASH Anime Blu-Ray Home Media Debut

Anime distributor AnimEigo delivers the sequel to the action-packed anime classic, BUBBLEGUN CRISIS, as it announces the Blu-ray home media release of BUBBLEGUM CRASH on January 21, 2025.

Times are changing in MegaTokyo. Boomers are no longer seen as a scourge, but rather, the city’s saviors – heralds of a new, prosperous era. With the Knight Sabers’ mission supposedly accomplished, their leader, Sylia, suddenly disappears, leaving the team to go their separate ways. In the meantime, a dangerous cabal of power-suited mercenaries start hunting for a revolutionary AI that’s about to change the world. Keenly aware of the consequences, Sylia gets the band back together. Equipped with even bigger and badder hard suits, the Knight Sabers now find themselves entangled in a conflict seemingly orchestrated by a voice from the past.

BUBBLEGUM CRASH is a 1991 OVA anime produced by Artmic and Artland that followed the beloved 1987 series, BUBBLEGUM CRISIS, taking place a year after the original story. The new release contains all 3 episodes – Illegal Army, Geo Climbers and Melt Down. It features a full restoration of Episode 2 (Geo-Climbers), along with new HD upscales of Episodes 1 and 3, and comes packaged with a newly designed slipcover exclusively available for purchases from the MediaOCD webstore at https://www.mediaocd.com/product-page/bubblegum-crash-blu-ray.
