In late December, I picked up the two-disc DVD set of the anime A.D. Police. It's a twelve-episode series that's kind of based on the story set out in Bubblegum Crisis (pick your version of BGC). I just finished watching the last few episodes tonight, and it was an excellent anime and definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of Japanese animation.
However, it seems to be a re-imagining of Bubblegum Crisis rather than a tale set in the same universe. In this case, it takes place in Genom City (i.e. Tokyo) during 2020 and follows certain members of the boomer-fighting A.D. Police. However, certain changes in the plot and in names of characters seem to indicate that there is no continuity between A.D. Police and Bubblegum Crisis. I had expected the two to be linked, but it seems I was mistaken.
