Synopsis: Chicago’s only got room for ONE massive Bean!
Visiting the Chicagoland area and in need of a getaway driver? Well, there’s no better wheelman than Bean Bandit — the infamous Roadbuster! Provided you’ve got the scratch, Bean and his blonde bombshell of a partner, Rally Vincent, will get you where you need to go. Not long after finishing up a sketchy job, the Roadbuster is tasked with returning a young member of Chicago’s elite to her family’s estate. But what starts out as a simple taxi gig quickly becomes way more than Bean and Rally had bargained for…
Created by Kenichi Sonoda (Gunsmith Cats, Otaku no Video) and animated by studio AIC (Bubblegum Crisis, Tenchi Muyo), the Riding Bean OVA is presented for the first time in high definition, with the original Japanese-language version with English subtitles as well as the English dub.
