    One of the better anime series

    Essentially this is your standard anime fare. Group of curvaceous huge eyed women in their early 20s dress in high-tech armour and beat the snot out of rogue Bio-Mechanoid 'Boomers'.

    What makes BGC2040 stand out is the above average characterisation and the layered sub plots making this more like an action soap opera. As the Western production houses evolve actors are also being allowed to *gasp* read their script ahead of time and *swoon* prepare a reading of the character. This helps immensely.

    BGC2040 gets a little lengthy in the latter episodes but overall this is involving SF hokum that even non-anime fans might get something out of.

    Bubblegum Fun!!

    Anyone who loved the original Bubblegum series will not be dissappointed with Tokyo 2040. It continues in much the same vain but with much better animation and an awesome story. Not to be missed!!
