Bean Bandit is the top courier in the Chicago area, and a man who isn't shy about operating on the wrong side of the law. Of course, his clients must also pay a pretty penny for his speedy services. Unfortunately, Bean's reputation catches up with him when he is framed for kidnapping a 10 year-old girl, whom he doesn't realize is in trouble, by a group of shady criminals.

Another classic anime

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2024

Thanks to a recommendation from a friend, I’ve been blessed to watch this zany high-octane adventure. There’s something about the 80s and 90s anime that holds a special charm very few modern anime hold these days, and Riding Bean continues to establish that trend with its visuals, rad soundtrack, and cheesy English dub. Pair this and Gunsmith Cats for double the fun!

*King of the Road*

Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2023

Verified Purchase

This is one my all-time favorite OAV's along-side Bomber Bikers of Shonan. It's one of the reasons I was so into Anime in the early '90's. Being a Chicago native I can attest that its geographical depiction in the anime is painstakingly accurate (hell, even the level of crime on display here is not that far off from reality recently, lol). The OST (soundtrack) is AWESOME. Perfectly gels with the Anime's action sequences. No crappy, generic techno beats here. It's a fusion of Jazz, R&B and a bit of light Rock. They nailed it! In fact, the car case sequence along Dearborn and Lake while the track *King of the Road* plays is worth the price alone. It just has to be seen to be believed.

The "pilot" for Gunsmith Cats

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2013

Verified Purchase

I knew that Riding Bean was in the same world as Gunsmith Cats (an excellent anime http://www.amazon.com/Gunsmith-Cats-Bulletproof/dp/B000059RZ9) but I did not know that it is a precursor. Rally has blond hair! and is Bean's partner. Bean's archrival is a tough woman, with a young protege. The protoge is clearly the prototype for Minnie May, although her hair is red/brown. It is interesting to see the story of how these two ladies met.

Bean is unbelievably strong, fast, etc. Kind of overpowered. In Gunsmith Cats they turned down the volume; Rally and Minnie are believably human. The setting is Chicago, of course, and the depiction of violence in that city is way over the top. I'm not a big fan of nasty violence in general, but I sat all the way through. I wish bullet-proof clothing really worked that well!

Standing on its own, I'd give it only 3 stars. But for a Gunsmith Cats fan, it is cool to see how Kenichi Sonoda sensei's ideas developed along the way. As for Gunsmith Cats, if you haven't tried it then start with the manga.

A Great Cars And Guns Action Flick

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2014

Riding Bean is a great anime show. It must have influenced the Transporter movies, because I see a lot of things done in the Transporter that are in Riding Bean. I have to say that when I first saw this show with my friends, we had rented the English dubbed VHS, and I was not that impressed. Years and years later, I bought this dvd out of nostalgia, and saw what a huge difference the Japanese dub makes. I found all of the characters engaging and the action was elevated because of it. The other thing I noticed after watching both the Japanese and English dub on the dvd back to back, was that a lot of sound effects were lost completely in the English dub. What a big loss of impact that has on the viewing experience, because not only are the original voice tracks so exuberant, but the sound effects are big as well. If you have access to grab this entertaining dvd, get it. It's only a shame that like Bubblegum Crisis, the Riding Bean Japanese blu-ray has no English subtitles.

Short round, hits hard

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2020

Riding Bean is great. In many ways it's better than Gunsmith Cats Bulletproof. If you have one you should have both.

I recommend watching it once with the English dub and then again with the Japanese audio track and English subtitles. Bean is pretty hilarious in English, but the Japanese audio track is complete with the correct sound effects. The DVD picture quality is very good.

It's too bad this wasn't a three-part miniseries or something longer. Oh well, it's perfect for Saturday morning. Makes me want to go for a drive.

high speed action/ high caliber adventure.

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2011

Verified Purchase

While certain bits are far fetched to say the least, this can be overlooked with an animated feature of this caliber. The main character "Bean Bandit" aka "Road-buster", is a loveable scoundrel in the tradition of Han Solo and other mercenaries with a soft spot for the underdog. Although an 80's anime, the drawing is pretty smooth, and seems to hold up well against more contemporary animated features. As far as the action, one is reminded of films like Mad Max with some of the incredible driving, not to mention the gun-play, which often occurs during the car chases. Finally, there are several rather serious themes touched on in the storyline, kidnapping and child abuse to name two, which makes the film work on a dramatic level as well. In short, this would probably be entertaining even for non anime fans, although probably not suitable for young children due to certain images and themes present therein.

Bean Bandit - Must see Anime

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 5, 2004

Verified Purchase

This anime is a classic. An old fashion story with a new twist to the tale. Fast, high detail car chases, high action shoot outs, and a thick headed cop to make the mess even bigger.
A must see anime and a personal favorite.
