Bubblegum Crises on SBS?

[pdhq004]

Do any Australians know when Bubblegum Crises is coming to SBS? I saw a show on there a couple of weeks ago about up and coming things, they said they had bought the rights to show it but they didnt say when.

[eva2000]

i think i read somewhere it was August or September so time ? i haven't watched BC before so can't wait :D

[Wolfpac]

I actually hiring it at the moment and It's pretty Good

[eva2000]

Madman has a special for all 8 videos for $12 each

[fireguy]

What is bubblegum crisis about? and how many different series are there? Whatever it is, it is anime and I can't wait to see it.
:B:

[Pen2]

okay theres to series' the old Bubblegum crisis (which is a little old now) and the new bubblegum crisis which name escapes me at the moment. i'll go and double check.

[Tamachan]

There was the original Bubblegum Crisis, which was one of the more popular series in the '80's...this was followed up by Bubblegum Crash. The latest is Bubblegum Crisis 2040, this is the 90's revamp of the series/storyline and is the series that SBS will be showing.

What can I say...the original series has a lot of fans, but it does have a VERY 80's look...plus one of the worst dubs ever, if you watch dubs ^^; I think it actually had an Australian release so you might be able to find it at your local videostore if you're interested.

The new nineties version is very slick and has pretty high production values...the animation is high quality and stylish and the music is pretty good as well. I'm looking forwards to seeing the whole series although I don't know if I will be able to stomach the dub, I've been watching the subbed version. I'll leave the summing up of the storyline to someone else ^^;

[pdhq004]

Has anyone got any further info now, on when its starting? I havnt seen any ads for it yet, but I don't really watch a lot of TV.

[eva2000]

yeah i am keeping my eyes and ears peeled for this as well.. more anime SBS ! :D

[tekblade]

hehe i remember bgc. i have it. i have the subtitled version too. it was really good. the title may seem werid but the show is really different from the title. i do have crash too. for ppl who wanna know the characters are priss, nene, sylia (i think) and um one more, i forgot her name i didnt watch it for a while :heh: they fight in some kind of armor and they kill robots called boomers. its a god story too. crash was ok, but in crash they totaly changed the suits they wore to fight. the new bgc tokyo crisis 2040, is like copying right off the originals, just changing looks and stuff. the armor kinda looks exactly the same. i dunno if its good or not, i have to check it out soon. but irather prefer the old series that i have.

I thought the name was pretty appropriate after I read one of the production people's explanations: when you blow a bubble with bubblegum way too big and it pops and just goes EVERYWHERE and it's a real bugger to clean up!!

The SBS program Hotline that originally mentioned the BGC purchase by SBS didn't say anything about a time or date for the screening, but one would assume that they won't let it sit around for too long, gathering dust! I'm guessing they'll show it at least before the end of the year.

Oh, and about the new and old versions
Old: Bubblegum Crisis
Old Sequel: Bubblegum Crash
New: Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040

[ChibiAsuka]

^_^*

Oops, I forgot about the characters:
Sylia, Linna, Nene and Priss!

ChibiAsuka

[tekblade]

oh yeah linna. :heh: oh yeah thanks for the sites. i have to check them out. also whos your fav character? i think linna is my fav.

[Kirben]

I tried ringing SBS to see if programming department knew any more about when new anime series might start but they currently have not set a date and the person on the phone mentioned it most likely won't be on the in next few months.

[eva2000]

hmmm maybe Oct/Nov i hope... i am getting new video tapes and maybe a new VCR for the ocassion :D ... my old 14 yr old VCR is practically dead :(

[ChibiAsuka]

wow you have a fourteen year old VCR??? geez, our last one only lasted about eight years!! well done!!

umm, my favourite character (without having watched any so far) is sylia, because she sounds the coolest!!! also because she could be a boomer!

ChibiAsuka

[tekblade]

hehe hate to burst ya bubble but sylia's 100 % human. you can say shes the boss of the group. :D

[ChibiAsuka]

well Misato didn't kill Kaji either but it's still fun to think about isn't it????

ChibiAsuka

[tekblade]

i think so. :D

[Kirben]

According to the new Madman Entertainment site ( http://www.madman.com.au/bgc2040/ ) Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 is now due on SBS sometime September/October,
so I guess that means late September/early October 2000.
Was just mentioned on the aus.tv news group.

[eva2000]

thanks kirben, i was going to mention the madman bgc2040 site as well :D

[ChibiAsuka]

Really????? As early as September/October!!!! WOWOWOWOWOWOW. September is just going to be the biggest month for me, what with the Japanime Festival, the Powderfinger concert and now this!! Could life GET any better!!

ChibiEcstatic

[Shadow War]

That should be good. I am going to the Powerfinger concert as well in october. I can't wait!(for both)

[death]

well i hope it hurrys up and turns up on SBS or else i will go mad!!! from anime withdraw

[Shadow War]

I know what you mean! I heard it was coming months ago.

[ChibiAsuka]

You got tickets to the powderfinger concert!! I hate you!!! I wanted to go to that so bad! grrrrrr. But I agree about BGC, I can't wait for it to finally come. Has anyone else been scouring the TV Guide every week to see if it's on??? Or is it just me??? *gulps*

ChibiAsuka

[eva2000]

well i keep checking the http://www.sbs.com.au web site to see too :D

[pdhq004]

They have the videos on display in a HMV store i just went to. I dont think they'd have them on display if it werent going to be on tv fairly soon. Maybe it'll start after the olympics.

[eva2000]

hey pdhq004 long time no see :D

alot has changed on this forum with new features and improved speed :)

[Medea]

I bought the first BGC 2040 vid in dub (oh the shame of it) and it isn't that great... the music is ok, but Priss' singing sounds just.. well, wrong. But I noticed the dub voice for Sylia is the chick who does Naoko Akagi, Ritsuko's mother in Evangelion. And her soul isn't in Unit-00 or the Magi!!! hehe ^_^

[pdhq004]

eva2000: last term was unbelievably busy in terms of school work. Only 6 or 7 weeks left now though, forever :B:

Anyway, even if BGC isnt THAT good (although it certainly looks promising), its anime on free to air TV, which cant be anything but good :up:

[Edited by pdhq004 on 25-09-2000 at 06:30 PM]

[Wolfpac]

I just finished checking the SBS program guide and I couldn't find the Bubblegum Crisis listed anywhere.

The guide went to the end of October

http://www.sofcom.com.au had nothing either

[Shadow War]

I want more anime! When is it going to be on?

[Gokuneda]

Hey, my first post in the BGC forum.
Well, I just saw the first tape from Madman, and I must say...Im impressed. I'll watch it if it comes on for sure!

Does anyone else think that the Hardsuits are too...Organic? Or am I too much of a robotic mecha lover. Oh, and for those that haven't seen it, the Dub is actually pretty good. Good Lip Synch, everything is clicking...:)

Looks like a long time to wait :(

[Tamachan]

That's about the time frame I was expecting. Remember they launched Eva in January, as well.

[eva2000]

hey tamachan very very long time no see :wavey: been busy i see :D

[Tamachan]

Yup, I suppose you could say that...been to HK and Japan since I was last seriously posting...busy with the shop and I have an exam coming up as well. But with less new anime-related questions on the board, it is also true that I am unfortunately less interested :(

[Wolfpac]

I think that the Oct/Nov date was a bit off, well Feb aint that bad I guess.

[Chippy]

hey thanks all
I went to http://www.madman.com.au awile ago and sore that Bubblegum Crisis was on October and November and I went to sbs's site and checked there show times and I must have looked at everyday twice looking for bugglegum Crisis
so all I have to say is thanks for the site http://animeguide.cyril.com/ and I might post some stuff if I find anything intersting
Chippy

[eva2000]

hi ya chippy and welcome to my forums :D

[Chippy]

yeah thanks eva2000
I looked at the EVA forum and thought I will check this one out seeing one of my friends is lending the videos so far so good
Chippy

[^FallenAngel^]

I have heard that Bubblegum suppose to come out on SBS... but has it yet??
I haven't seen any TV guide talking about it...
anyone got any ideas??
I like 2040 much better than the old series, cos the graphics are much better!!!
I have seen few ep, but not all.

[Ura]

By the time they show it I'll probably have the whole series which kind of defeats the point. I wish SBS would show some Unlicensed anime such as Flame of Recca or Hana Yori Dango. That would at least let their subtitling dept do its job

[^FallenAngel^]

Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 will start on SBS on 29th January 2001. <--- Is that true???
But is SBS going to show the whole Bubblegum 2040 or just some of it??

NNNOOOOOO!!!!! And we've been waiting so long too. :(
eva2000 - Where did you get the info from and how reliable is it?

[SaMADog]

crap...
i've heard from somewhere that we will be getting a double eps of South Park (Oh the Humanity)

[assyria]

I HATE to say it but from what I saw on the SBS web page their is no sign of BC anywhere on their TV guides.

The 29th has south park repeats in it's 8.30 time slot, so I think that just plain sucks!

If anyones intrested in finding reasons why they could try contacting SBS; PO box 294 South Melboure vic 3205 or you could ring (03) 9685 2828, and if your lucky enough to own a fax; (03) 96867501. they don't seem to have a e-mail address or at least I counldn't find one

if enough people ask about they're bond to get sick of us asking and air it to shut us up. ^_^

that's my two cents anyhow.

[Marius]

i don't think SBS would put it on before febuary because that's when the ratings war begins. i guess we'll just have too wait and see

[Kirben]

Yes the site ( http://animeguide.cyril.com/ ) that originally gave the 29th January 2001 date later reported SBS changed their minds and won't be starting it this month. Has been no news about it since then.

[death]

I just wonder which series it will be...

[Malachai]

I'd say that my favourite char in 2040 would be Nene, just because she's such a ditz!

[Longinus]

I've seen up to the cliffhanger episode, the unleashing of the dragonline and there's no more videos out as of late! Now I'm annoyed that SBS wont be showing it anytime soon.

[death]

DOes any one know when it going to be on? Gaspachio soup is getting anoyed at me for not getting the 2040 eps fast enough. But if its on soon i wont bother. So please tell me!!!!

[Kirben]

Bubblegum Crisis 2040 will be shown on SBS every Saturday night at 8.30pm, from the 19th of May 2001, to the 10th of November 2001.

[death]

Ok. i wont bother getting the rest of the tape then. Thaks

[Kawanua the Samurai]

my friend said they also have the right until 2004 how cool is that. so we can see it over and over and over and blah blah blah :)

[Kirben]

Actually SBS only have the rights to show the Bubblegum Tokyo 2040 series twice only, so it will only be repeated once sometime between 2002 - 2004.

[Kawanua the Samurai]

hmmm i'l have to ask SaMaDoG about that

[death]

Its true. I hope they dont show it twice i a row like they did eva... I mean that as soon as it finishs they start the series again the next week

[Kawanua the Samurai]

yeah i know i taped the the first time it was on and i missed some then suddenly i turn on thre T.V and its all ready half way through the series now my tapes are useless with missing episodes

[death]

I know how that feels. Im missing 4 eps... Very sad :(

[eva2000]

now i am confused is SBS airing

Bubblegum Crisis or

BGC 2040 ?

[Kirben]

SBS are only showing Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040

[Chippy]

well you guys I had the smae problem I started to tape NGE when it was on SBS but I started around ep 14 I think and when I found it was replayed I missed for first 2 eps so I went out and hired it from a vedio shop and dumbed that video and then taped it off SBS

but I am not going to wate for bubblegum to show on SBS I am going to get the DVD's

my freind has all ready showed me videos 1-8 so I cant wate 24 weeks after they start showing them to get to where I am (seeing they are doing 1 ep a week not like NGE 2 eps a week)
