Plot Summary: In the near future, Tokyo was left flattened as a result from a great earthquake. A new city, MegaTokyo, was then recreated due in no small part from the aid of a multi-million dollar company, Genom Corp. Genom created and mass-produced biomechanical creatures called Boomers to aid in the restoration of MegaTokyo. When the Boomers began to run out of control, the AD Police at first tried to stop them, but they proved to be far more difficult to deal with than was first imagined. Under the ever looming Boomer threat, a group of four girls from varying degrees of society banded together. Calling themselves The Knight Sabers, they were the only ones with enough firepower and resourcefullness to defend the fledgling MegaTokyo from Genom and its berserk Boomers.

Comment:
Originally planned to run for 13 episodes, the storyline was left unfinished after episode 8 due to a massive falling-out between production companies ARTMIC and Youmex. The ARTMIC-produced Bubblegum Crash was based on the original concepts of the final five episodes of Crisis; however, that series stopped at three episodes due to a lawsuit by Youmex. The legal issues that beset the Bubblegum Crisis lasted until the late-1990s when ARTMIC went bankrupt and Youmex was absorbed into Toshiba EMI. Bubblegum Crisis and most of ARTMIC's titles are now property of AIC.
