BUBBLEGUM CRISIS BLU RAY SERIES
The menus feature neon line art from the series that loops over high-tech animated backgrounds. I found the greyscale to be easier on the eye. Two styles are available: multicolor and greyscale. Subs are included in English, French, German, Italian, Finnish, and Japanese. Both audio tracks are presented in LPCM 2.0. The old English dub is also included if you want it. I watched the episodes with the original Japanese stereo soundtrack. The image also looks brighter than the DVDs. Certainly, this is a huge improvement from the DVDs. There is grain, but I did not find it distracting. I am glad the episodes were spread across 3 discs - they do not look compressed in the slightest. The video transfer is top-notch with a crisp image and vibrant colors. In this review, I take a look at the Premium set.

It was also Region A coded, making it not so import-friendly for everyone. While the series was released on Blu-ray in Japan in 2008, it unsurprisingly lacked English subtitles. In North America, AnimEigo's remastered DVD boxset set the bar a decade ago, but now Blu-ray is here. Over the years there have been a number of high-quality releases of Bubblegum Crisis on home video. Bubblegum Crisis Ultimate Edition Blu-Ray Review
