I'll be waiting for YOU
I need your love everyday

@FireBomberBassist
They dont make anime like this often any more. Long gone are the radical cyberpunk days.
@billlew8840
The original BGC was pretty good too. They also had nice music as well.
@GamesfromtheGrave
I really enjoyed Psycho Pass.
@Kusanagikaiser999
@@GamesfromtheGrave Psycho Pass was the last anime I remember enjoying watching in a LONG TIME, I miss good sci fi, Cyberpunk animes like BubbleGum Crisis and Ghost in the Shell T.T
@KeyleeTamirian
@@billlew8840 I love original BGC, but people don't give much credit to BGC Tokyo 2040, so i want people to love it as well ^^
@eugeniosabater8449
Bubblegum crisis tokyo 2040, Ghost in the shell, Blue submarine# 6, Arjuna, Gasaraki, Cybaster those were the best times of anime!

@karuvuariyo
See... reading all these comments really move me... This song with the anime marked deep in my soul when i was a child. it's so touching all these comments with same feeling, sense of nostalgia and some mystical touching caused by the art itself. Thanks to the author, the musician Akira Sudou and the uploader for the chance of experience and revive those moments. Life it's incredible, something's are so simple and at same time so deep.
