Trivia

Set six to seven years after the original Bubblegum Crisis, but this series is quite different in its continuity with the original. The first few episodes deal with Lina Yamazaki searching for and joining the Knight Sabers, but in the original series, Lina was already an established member of the team.

Due to contractual problems and the ownership of the original character designs, all of the characters have been redesigned for the new series. However, the hardsuits the Knight Sabers use are the same in design as the original series.

In addition to new character designs, the characters personalities have been altered greatly. Priss is much more stoic in 2040 than she was in the original version, while Sylia, originally very stoic in the first series, is now very emotional. Linna is given much more screen time and depicted as being an idealistic farm girl rather than as a shallow, greedy man-eater. Nene is also much more aggressive (and arrogant) than she was in the original version. The character of Daley Wong is also more subdued and no longer depicted as a homosexual caricature, as he was in the original series. The Leon McNichol character is also different, more of a "tough guy" and less of a pretty boy.
