In the near future, Tokyo was left flattened as a result from a great earthquake. A new city, MegaTokyo, was then recreated due in no small part from the aid of a multi-million dollar company, Genom Corp. Genom created and mass-produced biomechanical creatures called Boomers to aid in the restoration of MegaTokyo. When the Boomers began to run out of control, the ADPolice at first tried to stop them, but they proved to be far more difficult to deal with than was first imagined. Under the ever looming Boomer threat, a group of four girls from varying degrees of society banded together. Calling themselves The Knight Sabers, they were the only ones with enough firepower and resourcefulness to defend the fledgling MegaTokyo from Genom and it's berserk Boomers.

A mashup of genres and references that manages to be embodiment of the spirit of its era

As the country was exposed to Western culture, it started, as it always had, taking the cool stuff, appropriating it, and putting its own spin on it, and that is also, and probably especially, the case for…
Premise:
Four cool and cute vigilante ladies with power-armor fight evil robots while a uselessly heterosexual cop makes passes at their leader and embarrasses himself.
The Positive Side:
_Bubblegum Crisis_ leaves nothing to be desired on the visual front. The animation is gorgeous and expressi…
Beware! Mild spoilers ahead!
__General impressions:__
Well, general description cannot go further than "mid". That's a strong "retro-aestetic" artstyle with sometimes really cool and complex shots of different vehicles and robots and stuff.
