Changes, changes, changes How does one go about modernizing a classic? Well, let's find out. With all the updating and tweaks that have been made between 2033 and 2040, there's some things that have been made more for the 90's and some things that stayed the same. Let's begin our random thoughts comparison. Here, we'll take a look at our main cast of characters. It's Mega Tokyo 2033 verses Neo Tokyo 2040. (Editor's Note: The comparisons are between BGC OAV 1-8 and BGC: Tokyo 2040 episodes 1-6) 2033: Cool, calm and collected. Sylia is the heart of the Knight Sabers. Early on in the series, Sylia is somewhat of a mystery. There are several times when flashbacks will give you a glimpse of something in the past or create a link to something that had happened. The daughter of the late Dr. Stingray, Sylia has taken what her father had developed and created the specialized hardsuits that are used by the Sabers. As part of her day job, she runs a small longiere shop called "Silky Doll" which is used as a front for the secret base of the Knight Sabers. She's a great team player as well as the manager for the team. She's always there in the thick of things when a threat is loose on the streets. Sylia is also the most emotionally stable member of the Sabers, never one to show too much of her emotional side. 2040: Now 2040 Sylia on the other hand... Here we have a behind-the-scenes woman. Always there to give a guiding suggestion, but rarely seen in action. Sylia still has her "day job" where she exhibits an overly enthusiastic demeanor. This, however, is just another front, put up to shelter... something. As was true in 2033, Sylia is still a mystery. What drives her to do what she does? Is it revenge against Genom for the death of her father? Is it a notion to help the people of Neo Tokyo? There is plenty of room for speculation. Sylia is also more emotional and overbearing in 2040. She's highly prone to anger and will often be found yelling at something or someone when she's not dealing with customers. Of course, there are also the physical changes. Sylia's hair color changed from black to a very Rei Ayanami-esque look. Her hair is longer and she also has a good, 90s updated wardrobe. It's quite a change from the classic image of Sylia. 2033: It's Ms. Bad-To-The-Bone herself. Priss is the ultimate image of anime rock music, no matter what decade you look at. She is the lead singer in a rock band called The Replicants. When she's not pumping out tunes and rocking Mega Tokyo, she's out kicking some Boomer behind. Priss adds the action and recklessness to the Knight Sabers. If there's trouble in the city, you can be sure that Priss is close behind. She has no love for the Genom Corporation or for the A.D. Police, a good sign of defiance of authority. She is also the usually unwilling love interest of Leon McNichol, a detective for the A.D. Police. 2040: Not much changed with Priss in the new time zone. She still sings. She still has the ultimate attitude for being bad. She still kicks Boomer butt. One notable change in 2040 is that Priss is much more quiet than her 2033 counterpart. She usually lets her actions speak for themselves. There were also some changes related to the band. The Replicants are history and a new, ultra 90s grunge sound has taken over with most of the music. The band also has a new name, Sekiria. Priss has taken a special interest in Linna as well. As the official "B-club" magazine stated, she has "no social graces or delicacy, but just because of that she holds an interest in her polar opposite, Linna." Oh and what an opposite she is.
