7cb1d79195 A superhuman outlaw courier and his female partner/manager are framed for the kidnapping of a millionaire's daughter. Based on the manga (Japanese graphic novels) of the same name, this OAV is set in Chicago and (Original Animation Video) follows the adventures of expert "wheel man" Bean Bandit and his girlfriend Rally as they become mixed up in an intricate kidnapping plot involving a millionaire and his daughter. Riding Bean's creator, Kenichi Sonada, was heavily influenced by the movie The Blues Brothers. I loved this OVA it was fantastic while it was short but nonetheless enjoyable with the character development, some humour as well as the driving/action scenes of this fabulous OVA.<br/><br/>This introduced me to the character of Bean Bandit who was so awesome and just lived by his own rules but had a protective instinct for children and J Patrick did a fantastic job voicing him in the English dub.<br/><br/>Also Bean's nemesis Percy was amusing determined to do anything to bust Bean. Also the main antagonist Simmerling was an interesting villain.<br/><br/>All in all a nice, good and very fun OVA. This has got to be one of the all time great Animations. Everything about this short but effective Movie had me gripped from the very start to its all to early ending. Bean Bandit is a bad guy but he has some sense of morality. I loved all the little nods to the Blues Brothers like the Car registration numbers & some of the chase scenes. My fav character is Percy, the relentless & unintentionally funny Cop who shouts at his Subordinates throughout the entire Movie & he causes so much devastation with his Ford Mustang, more than Bean Bandit in the end. Bean Bandits car is amazing & is more like a James Bond vehicle with all the gadgets & transformations it can do. I can not recommend this Movie enough I would go as far as to say even if you don't like Anime you will like this Movie.
