Personally, I haven't seen any of the Bubblegum Crisis/Crash series. 
I can't decide whether that's a good thing or not 'coz I get mixed 
opinions from friends who've either dead-panned it or gloss-hyped it
beyond belief... although, it seems like the dead-panners of the original
series are gloss-hyping the Tokyo 2040 series, and the gloss-hypers of the
original series are dead-panning the Tokyo 2040 series. :-)

Then there's the odd bunch who really don't care how good/bad the series
is, just as long as they have something better than nothing to
watch... :-)
