To be honest, I wasn't really impressed with the first Bubble Gum Crisis series... it kinda bored me. I think 2040 spunked it up a bit though, for one the improved graphics helped. I don't judge anything harshly based on graphics, mainly plot, but it certainly doesn't hurt to spruce it up. Plus, I liked the music a whole lot more in this one, I found the Original's to be quite annoying, there were a few songs in 2040 I found to be kinda catchy. I thought the motorcycle chick at the beginning was really cool too - I guess all the characters are somewhat unique, it's not an incredibly distinct difference that gives you a whole new feeling for all of them ... but enough that you don't mistake them for eachother. I think this series shows their development fairly well too, I rather enjoyed watching them grow like little flowers.. or.. something..
