Bubblegum Crisis 2033 - Say Yes! (English)

[@daedalus25]

25 years later, and I felt like hearing this song again. These were the good ol' days when companies like Viz, AnimEigo, and Pioneer hired talented singers and converted songs into English.

[@Shadders2010]

So 80s music and fashion will come back in the 2030s. I will be looking forward to this.

[@FireBomberBassist]

This era of animation always gives me chills. Can’t say i’ve ever had that feeling often watching anything brand new.

[@crozraven]

the english version of this song actually just as great as the OG Japanese one. The singer did a very great job.

[@RogueWraith909]

For those interested the singer according to the titles at the end of the episode was Cyndi Wheeler. I've been trying to find this version for a while... but only recently had I found it.

[@NixV0822]

It’s July 2018 and I still comeback to listen to this song 🎶💕 One of the best English version of anime songs 💕

[@Appolo15966]

amen.

[@Shadders2010]

Hey, July 2018. The world's gonna go to Hell in 2 years. Pass it along.

[@DracoInduperator]

It's September 2023 I'm listening too

[@DracoInduperator]

​​@@Shadders2010you were close, 2021 global pandemic seems closer to hell imao, but that's just me

[@FireBomberBassist]

The style is very pleasing too. I mean, 2:32 look at her face. That’s gorgeous.

[@nerdicwarrior]

Satoshi Urushihara's art style, mate. He was guest animation director of this episode.

[@labelashavoc]

Best anime english song translation of all anime. It really brought a tear to my eyes for those who I have lost to death in my life. Thanks as always- labelashavoc (:~>?=

[@mikedawgx01]

What the heck are you talking about?! That was easily one of the best english versions of an anime song I've heard. They don't even know how to make quality dubs like this anymore. Besides, I've heard plenty of anime songs where the english version is actually better. You don't have to like it but quit sippen' on that heteraid!

[@emmanuelwatson7893]

I never really got into Bubblegum Crisis, but the music is simply the best.

[@HotaruZoku]

I can take robotic battle suits that fight rogue AI bent on massacre. That's fine. But did I just watch a man fill up a mac truck for 20 bucks? THAT's just crazy town.

[@gfox9295]

Suspension of disbelief only goes so far, it's true.

[@No_Grip_Racing]

$20 in 1989 would be just over $40 in 2019... still cheap for a big truck.

[@Metlhd313]

4:05 Wow, they even went to the trouble of animating the gas station attendant turning around and walking back in.

[@Keirnoth]

2022... we're moving closer to this future.

[@gagefarmer9615]

Even in the future there's always music. Vision must have had a concert here in America.

[@sivanlevi3867]

These songs drive me wild, and it's 2021!

[@heerosanosyuy1173]

I know this song is about Irene, Visions sister. But come on. This song is timeless & can be applied for all of us. Going through whatever manifested pains.

[@giovanniartifice1]

I personally love this song man

[@NOMNOM81]

Gotta agree with Mikedawg, the English lyrics I find flow better with the theme of the song "The fire's so much hotter than yesterday, keep it burning" I love that. "I just live more passionately than yesterday" Very cool, but I like the first one better. I do however (and I'm probably very weird for noticing) like the background music of the Japanese version, especially when it cuts to the part of showing her.

[@Bboy-Master13]

Nah I noticed the background music too 😂

[@Somaed]

This song has a special place in my heart…. I said Yes but unfortunately like the wind this world took you away from me…. Wait for me.

[@NOMNOM81]

one of my favorite anime. I like the background music in the Japanese version better, but the English lyrics are better than the Japanese I feel.

[@fightingcorsair7297]

I can't believe I've never heard the English version before.

[@SoloTheFirstHunter]

The animation of the old ways along with the old ways of English song translation makes a great combo i miss thees old days

[@animefreeman380]

i love the bubblegum crisis movies i have them and i love the songs

[@kotsdemoness]

@ElderGodBrandon agreed, I have the soundtrack in japanese but I like this song especially in English, mostly because I think the Alto voice complements it better than the lighter voice in the japanese version

[@heerosanosyuy1173]

Timeless song

[@DracoInduperator]

Its shooting up faster than Mercury in Summer! That is now one of my favorite qoutes

[@worawatli8952]

4:16 This vehicle infotainment is what people in the 80s think we would have, but well, we now have touchscreen with no button and it is stupid, I wish cars would looks like something from this anime in the future. Can we just do both cool and practical? Not one thing.

[@tigertony7724]

Man! I miss 80s

[@animegirlhaven]

Listen, the back of the day feels more nostalgic, and more never forget I feel I love 80 or 90 old songs nowadays. Its music sometimes feels more retro

[@Theonetruewonderfly]

Allright, let's just admit it: everyone who's purposefully searched KZbin for this version of the song is well over 30 years old, right? Old School English Dubs, from the early to mid 90's - they often sound cheesy, and yet they're still precious (due to the memories). Man, I loved this era in anime.

[@jnicolebean2468]

Oh boy. I'm 21. My taste as a kid was more inappropriate than I thought.

[@FireBomberBassist]

Im 24.

[@Theonetruewonderfly]

Okay, but do you prefer the English dub of Bubblegum Crisis? Most people nowadays hate the older dubs of anime done back in the 90's, but if you grew up on those dubs, back when they were first released, they sound awesome (but that's probably the nostalgia talking).

[@FireBomberBassist]

I just searched out of curiosity. I loved the Japanese version of the song and wanted to hear the English. I think it sounds great. I still prefer the Japanese since it is the first one I listened to.

[@Theonetruewonderfly]

That's cool. Good to see some of the younger generation seeking out the classics.

[@CytotoxinK]

1:14 _"I want to run_ _I want to hide_ _I want to tear down the walls_ _That hold me inside..."_ ... Oh crap... Wrong song...

[@kwongwahwong6289]

RE: Boogie Sal; the person's funeral in the video is Vision's sister Irene. (she died earlier in the series)

[@fi3rogtm4st3r9]

Anime now sucks I miss the good ol days.

[@Turbotef]

Eh, been watching and buying anime since 1991 and I disagree. Even though I prefer 80s/90s anime (mostly the animation style), I still love a lot of anime released today. There was a lot of garbage back then too ya know, expensive OVAs or not. Megalo Box was a real treat with its style and presentation last year!

[@Turbotef]

@Adelaine Delabin Yes but it wasn't the standard for everything (and was mostly confined to OVAs and movies). All of those qualities still exist in a lot of titles/genres these days as well. To prove your own example wrong, lots more came out from 1995-2000 too. Extremely iconic titles at that. I generally miss those times but its time to drop the nostalgia vision and get over it like I did years ago. Rebuy the old great titles remastered on BD (or pirate them) and enjoy the new stuff that keeps such themes. Thing is, I enjoyed all of the fluff, magical girl, and harem (remember these rocking the market and still do since the early 90s?) titles alongside everything else.

[@christopherjaleco9474]

Because everything back then was uncensored like the 80s/90s era unlike now anime got soft

[@emmanuelwatson7893]

I suppose it all depends on what you're into. There has been some good ones in recent years, but I personally perfer the 80s and early 90s.

[@Sandra_aschenbach_doyle]

given the time that was made, the animation looks good, honestly a bit stunned here

[@NOMNOM81]

sandra doyle A lot of old school anime to me anyway looks and is so much better than a lot of the crap out today. So much of today's anime either looks very generic, too cute, or just stupid (One Piece lol). Hayao Miyazaki even stated that the quality of today's anime gets worse. I know James Cameron still wants to make the live action film of this, he's a fan of Bubblegum Crisis and Battle Angel, he wants to work with the creators of the manga/anime if he does the film, which I thought was cool.

[@SawaneeKimbirli]

+Azure Knight for real? I loved this anime and Battle Angel and I think with the feminist push, that a show with all girl fighters would do well. Though, people will just think it's marvel/DC and not originally a Japanese anime.

[@NOMNOM81]

SawaneeKimbirli Yep James Cameron has been a huge fan of both series for quite awhile, and in his latest Terminator film, you can easily see the 1980's anime influence, even with some of the camera shots, and the way Sarah Connor behaves- kinda reminds me of Priss. Although I don't think he'd try to push the modern day feminist stuff. A lot of people are quite sick of that, mostly because its fake really, and a slap in the face to the early feminist, and the women today (Muslims) who have to deal with true hardship- sadly even in free countries. The feminist stuff wasn't even pushed in the anime, it was really like "these are awesome beautiful strong women, who are kick ass heroes". I always saw Sylia as the female Tony Stark minus the behaving like a douchebag lol. Priss is my favorite though because she's so mean, and 80's metal, and sort of a reference of one of my favorite films Blade Runner.

[@SawaneeKimbirli]

+Azure Knight I'm a stay at home Christian mom. I'm far from the modern feminist that I disassociate with based on some of their stances. Plus the whole gender neutral crap is annoying. I love girly, pink crap and recognize that I have different strengths than a man and may not became a marine or seal and sure as heck don't expect people to lower the bar.

[@NOMNOM81]

SawaneeKimbirli That's bad ass, and so extremely important. I know so many kids I work with who wish they had a mother like you. It annoys me when "feminist" try to trash women like you. I also don't see them as real feminist just miserable people who want attention and special treatment lol. I also applaud the women who want to go out there and be a CEO, or whatever. My girlfriend is all about the medical world, and especially wants to help veterans out- I'm sooooo damn proud of her. She also does MMA with me (that and video games is how we became friends at first lol). When she had told me how she whooped this guy who was harassing a girl she works with- I was just too proud. ^_^

[@gagefarmer9615]

Sometimes shows from the 80s are better then the newer ones. It looks an anime that anime fan's dad sew in middle school.

[@cbspock1701]

Bubblegum crises and crush were great and the songs were so great

[@guillermopavasilva875]

I remember how the ballad and pop music, like the Rock let to your emotions and feelings, actually the music doesn't have these impacts how before times, those soundtracks were the top of the creation of inspiration in artistic quality from OVAs and anime series. This voice stays in your heart.

[@tomspiegel5322]

3:25 So...while we listen to this beautiful, heartfelt song, we're also watching a truck driver get gas... 3:35 AND PAYING FOR IT. Yes, that's and important scene we can't leave out. 3:40: "Should I also get an oil change?" 3:42: *"YES."*

[@gagefarmer9615]

Houston Texas!?!? I live in Texas. Singer from the future. Vision might do some singing in Texas. What would a Japanese singer be doing in Texas? This anime music video was right on one about the future there was always be music.

[@affiqdaniel3569]

this give me the 90s vibe so munch, i miss the 90s

[@jairog2787]

1:07 someone picture this part with Cammy's ending from turbo

[@ElderGodBrandon]

@labelashavoc this series in general had a great emotion to it, you felt every thing the characters were going through and the music added to each episode and made it even better and you could feel as if you were there with them suffering along with the charafcters or experiencing the joys as well......

[@gagefarmer9615]

Vision should be a kid this time if she's real. She was a singer from the future. Even in the future will change there will always be music.

Thanks KairaKitty. How are you? Great song. Sweet series. Should I build a cool motorcycle?

[@LEATHERrebelJUSTICE]

I like. It makes me feel like finding the ending theme to Alundra 2. I think that is a real thing.

[@ChaosTicket]

The song is very good but i find it hilarious that nobody realized the music video as part of the song was basically an announcement "I am coming to kill you" except the head of the company.

[@OcelotMorris]

This is the most eighties song that has ever eightiesed the eighties, in the history of the eighties.

[@lynnrow4504]

Man... If they can release the English version of the OST it'll be great

[@Kenshiro3rd]

Sadly according to the singers, they never actually recorded full versions of the songs themselves, just the parts needed for the OVA itself.

[@lynnrow4504]

​@@Kenshiro3rd Awww... That's unfortunate... But I'm glad to know about it. Thank you for the information. Thank god some of the songs have a full performance in the OVA
