Bubblegum Crisis
Synopsis:
The year is 2032. Tokyo has been destroyed by a great earthquake and a new city, MegaTokyo, has risen from the ashes. Humans now live side-by-side with androids known as Boomers who perform many of the menial and laborious tasks that humans despise, but these artificial servants come with a price: they have a tendency to go haywire and attack those they were built to serve. The A.D. Police force was created to try and stop this menace, but its weapons can do little more than annoy the Boomers. Hope lies with the Knight Sabers, four young women with high-tech, armored suits and enough firepower to stop an army - but will it be enough to stop MegaTokyo's greatest threat?

add recMore Kenichi Sonoda's goodness and, while I'm fully aware none of these projects ended up with a decent anime (at least compared to what they deserved), I can't help recommend them to every fan who wants to watch enjoyable stories with this likeable charades that now seems so retrò...
Kinda nostalgic, I guess...
Akira
- Movie
- 1988
Following the disaster wrought upon the world by a mysterious being called ‘Akira’, Neo Tokyo is now in social and economic turmoil. In such a decaying city, feisty Kaneda and his shy friend Tetsuo survive by running around in a biker gang, chasing local rivals and generally evading the police. Everything changes, however, when Tetsuo crashes into a strange-looking boy during a bike chase and the military ends up taking him away. When he eventually returns to his friends, he’s no longer the same weak little boy they always knew – in fact, a military experiment has turned him into something beyond human imagination. While the military is intent on reclaiming its specimen at any cost, Tetsuo is sick of being bullied around and is about to show everyone, including his friend Kaneda, exactly who is boss.

add recAkira is a long movie, Bubblegum is a series; both are highly futuristic with lasers and explosions.
More importantly, the stories are complicated and convoluted with characters being very slightly more important than the action. At points both are confusing, but each are quality works that many have enjoyed thoroughly.
Both of these anime have great cyberpunk combat in a futuristic, post-crisis Japan. Similar setting, similar great fight scenes, and similar "politics" in many ways, too.
Ghost in the Shell
- Movie
- 1995
A mysterious new hacker known only as the Puppet Master threatens to create chaos, erasing and rewriting the memories of his victims: humans who have cast away their physical body to become cyborgs. Is he an evil genius, or could he signal the beginning of a new age in the relationship between man and machine?

add recAlthough the storylines are not the same, the feeling of both of these series is quite similar. The idea of each follows some "creature" trying to take over a town where a group of special powered humans must save the day. Unlike Bubblegum Crisis, Blue Seed doesn't have any power suits, but it does have organically empowered super-humans with incredibly destructive powers.
Dominion Tank Police
Many years in the future, crime is out of hand. In order keep the city safe, the Tank Police were created. The Tank Police are an elite unit that uses massive tanks to bring criminals to justice, yet many feel they do more damage than they are worth. Leona is a rookie, and within her first few days on the force she is already knee-deep in trouble.
