Fans of classic anime have cause to rejoice! 1980s anime, and OVA mega-hit, Bubblegum Crisis will soon be making its Blu-ray home debut! It arrives in stunning 1080p HD with bonus interviews and a 50-page book with insights and liner notes. Details, pre-order info, and more regarding this release can be found below!

Anime distributor AnimEigo and parent company MediaOCD have announced that the home media Blu-ray release of Bubblegum Crisis: Perfect Collection will be arriving on February 11th.

A hurricane that started in Japan and hit America
Originally released in Japan starting in 1987, and an OVA (Original Video Animation) mega-hit among the early American anime scene, Bubblegum Crisis is the show that put AnimEigo on the map. Over the years the series, and its unique noir blend of mecha, cute girls, 80s J-pop, and cyberpunk dystopia, has inspired countless imitators.

The AnimEigo Perfect Collection Blu-ray edition features all 8 episodes of the original series presented in full 1080p HD and includes a new video interview with the renowned character designer, Kenichi Sonoda, and a 50-page book filled with additional interviews and insightful liner notes.

In the twisted canyons of the megalopolis, the Knight Sabers, a small band of high-tech mercenaries, fight a lonely battle against the evil GENOM Corporation and its sinister androids, the Boomers.
