Cyber Punk
1987

age 15+ is recommended due to slight nudity and a good amount of action violence not too bloody though. This incarnation of BGC only ran for 8 eps. If your a fan of the 1980's 90's looking style of anime then you'll be pleased with this ones looks. BGC seems to be aimed more at the female population. The story line is a little shrouded in mystery, nothing really coherent except that boomers (cyborgs) must be kept in check just like Genome (Cyborg Co.). This one gets marks for good style, good concept, and the fact that many eps were like two rolled in one. I'm just gonna say it..I didn't like it and there was no real ending

Cyber Punk
1999

age 15+ is recommended due to nudity and action violence. This the second incarnation on BGC is a complete 26 ep season. 2040 is a remake of the original with newer graphics and animation styles. This like to original was probably aimed at the female population as it deals more with romance and pays more attention to the main characters trials and tribulations outside of their Knight Sabers duties. There is an ok story line here but it's not altogether clear and it tends to take sidesteps every now and again also tends to get boring once in a while. If you liked Tenchi in Tokyo you can expect something similar except with robots. More female drama than I like, and ok story line.
