Bubblegum Crash is a three episode OVA anime series, the sequel to
Bubblegum Crisis.
After the split between Artmic and Youmex, Youmex proceeded to make a
sequel on their own, Bubblegum Crash, which ran three OVA episodes and is
conjectured that it was a shortened version of how Crisis was to end. Artmic
promptly sued Youmex, cutting Crash short and tying the entire franchise up
in legal issues for the next several years.
Bubblegum Crash was even less commercially successful than its
predecessor. Fans maintain that the storyline of Crash was inferior, the
characters were transformed into two dimensional caricatures, and the
character development was nonexistent. Other fans maintain that Crash was at
least as good as Crisis, and complemented the series. Another major
complaints of critics of Bubblegum Crash is that the voice actress for Priss
changed. This was due to her obligations as a professional musician, but did
lead to Priss having a voice the fans were not used to. .
