Riding Bean is an Anime Original Video Animation produced by studio AIC, created by Kenichi Sonoda and directed by Yasuo Hasegawa, released in February 22, 1989 with a run-time of 48 minutes.Set in Chicago, the anime OVA follows the exploits of Bean Bandit, a professional getaway driver (Think The Transporter) who's been framed for kidnapping the daughter of an electronics CEO. Using a series of tricks, clever plots and disguises, Bean and his friend (and trigger-woman) Rally Vincent attempt to avoid being captured as they work to clear their name. With many a good plot twist and a interesting story and plot, the OVA was well received.This OVA was supposedly the pilot for a suggested Anime series, but a falling out between Kenichi Sonoda and Toshiba EMI over the series left it with only one episode. Quickly moving on, Riding Bean served as a pilot of sorts for the related project Gunsmith Cats that Kenichi Sonoda went on the create in its place. GSC featured a redesigned Rally as the main character, with Bean making a number of appearances.A Manga adaptation of Riding Bean was also produced by Kenichi Sonoda in 1989 but was left unfinished after four chapters due to the cancellation of Monthly Comic Noizy, the Japanese magazine in which it was published.It's also notable for being one of the few Animes to have a soundtrack composed and performed entirely by a foreigner. In this case, Jazz Fusion keyboardist David Garfield and his band.On May 18, 2018, appropriately in Chicago, Kenichi Sonoda revealed Project Bean Bandit, a sequel to Riding Bean. | |

Inspector Lestrade: Percy, to a degree. Inspector Zenigata: He's way more interested in taking out Bean than doing his duty as a Chicago PD officer. And collateral damage be 'damned. So yeah, not quite deserving of the "sympathetic" title. | |

| Riding Bean / int_19851b86 | comment |
Some random rent-a-cop gets it from Semmerling in the opening scenes. The fact Semmerling uses a shotgun means the top of the poor guy's head is ripped off the rest of his body and Semmerling just laughs at her handiwork. | |

Frame-Up | |
| Riding Bean / int_2d363f63 | comment |
Frame-Up: Semmerling purposefully hires Bean as a getaway driver for a bank heist while her assistant, Carrie, dresses as Chelsea, the daughter of a wealthy CEO, and be caught on camera as he's driving through a warehouse. Once the job is finished, her second phase is to kidnap said CEO and take his daughter to Bean, under the disguise of a "bodyguard" to have Bean deliver her to her manor in "his" place after he's "killed" by pursuers. Since the police caught whom they thought was Chelsea on camera in Bean's car, they assume Bean kidnapped her and go after him. | |

Rule of Sexy | |
| Riding Bean / int_36ed5d0b | comment |
Rule of Sexy: there's not really any other reason for the rather extensive scene of Rally getting dressed in the morning, basically only stopping short of showing her completely naked. The completely naked woman in the opening scene, however, is not an example of this because she's clearly terrified and is being forced to strip at gunpoint. | |

Bad Boss: Semmerling. Anyone under her employ is completely expandable to her plans. To wit, she kills one underling that was meant to be the driver of her big rig out of town just use his body to weight the gas pedal (apparently never hearing of cruise control) and uses Carrie as a hostage when Bean closes in to kill her just to get him to back off. Keep in mind, Carrie's her assistant and unsubtly implied to be her lover. | |

| Riding Bean / int_41f45fa2 | comment |
Inexplicably Awesome: Bean Bandit. He's got Super-Strength and is Made of Iron to a truly ludicrous degree, and none of this is ever explained. He's strong enough to throw a knife through a car window and have it tear the opposite door clean of its hinges, and lift a car above his head. And at the beginning, when Rally tries to wake him up, he sleeps through a taser to the neck, and it takes her pressing the underside of a hot frying pan to his face to wake him up... and he shows no lasting injuries from what should have given him at least a second-degree burn! | |

At the diner he orders thirty ribs and a case of Bud. Percy, too is a big eater as well, as we see him eating a hamburger, presumably a quarter pounder, and chug a 2 liter bottle of Pepsi, in his GT500, no less. Those boys must have some mighty nutrition. | |

Heel–Face Turn: Carrie at the end, somewhat. She threatens to shoot Bean for Semmerling's death. But Bean points out that her death was her own fault and Semmerling was willing to shoot through Carrie just to kill him (She just barely gazed Carrie's arm before the explosion, likely because Carrie had moved enough to avoid a direct hit). Heck Bean was willing to accept Carrie's demands to take the money in exchange for their lives. But Semmerling was too stubborn to know when to quit. Carrie ultimately concedes and accepts Bean's offer to join Rally and him. | |

It's not as outwardly impressive as Bean's car, but makes up for it with a monstrously powerful V12 engine. According to creator Kenichi Sonoda, all of the high tech gadgetries found on Bean's car, except the strange break-fins on the wheels, were 100% technologically feasible at the time in which the anime was made. Although the MythBusters might take issue with this... | |

The Precious, Precious Car | |
| Riding Bean / int_94d295c0 | comment |
The Precious, Precious Car: Inspector Percy establishes his relentless drive to get Bean early on by showcasing the 1967 Shelby Cobra GT-500KR that he bought solely because it's got the horsepower to catch up with Bean's car, complete with prideful Description Porn and Dick going all "wow!" over it. The climactic chase then has Percy ramming the Shelby through multiple obstacles that he may have driven around but that would mean giving Bean Bandit so much as a second's worth of distance, and accidentally shooting up the interior (with guns meant to try to punch through the armor of Bean's car). | |

Big Badass Rig | |
| Riding Bean / int_ad1c3459 | comment |
Big Badass Rig: The Scania T-142 M driven by Semmerling and one of her mooks it's also the same rig they used to force Bean to make a detour and cause a pileup, although this proves to be their undoing. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Riding Bean / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Semmerling decides that attempting to murder Carrie for offering to pay Bean their entire ransom in exchange for Semmerling's life is a good idea. Except for the fact that this is the only thing keeping Bean from killing her and taking the money anyway. | |

Inspector Zenigata: He's way more interested in taking out Bean than doing his duty as a Chicago PD officer. And collateral damage be 'damned. So yeah, not quite deserving of the "sympathetic" title. | |

Boom, Headshot! | |
| Riding Bean / int_c3585f4a | comment |
Boom, Headshot!: Some random rent-a-cop gets it from Semmerling in the opening scenes. The fact Semmerling uses a shotgun means the top of the poor guy's head is ripped off the rest of his body and Semmerling just laughs at her handiwork. Semmerling attempts to do this to Bean and point blank no less! Yet turns out even his headband is bulletproof as well. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Riding Bean / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: To The Blues Brothers, the film is supposedly set in Chicago. The pile up scenes are quite similar to the film as is the highway sequence (though Bean is the one in pursuit rather than being chased and doesn't pull a car flip like Elwood did). Heck even the chase sequence under the railway tracks look lifted right from the film. | |

Pre-Violence Laughter | |
| Riding Bean / int_d6f28079 | comment |
Pre-Violence Laughter: At the climax, both Bean and Big Bad Semmerling exchange a round of laughter after Semmerling has tried her damnedest to kill Bean (including trying to run him over with a car and shoot him in the head) and he's proven himself to be quite the Implacable Man. After a few seconds, Semmerling tries to kill Bean one last time by pulling out a pocket pistol and Bean responds by tossing a knife which punctures a nearby car's fuel tank, drenching Semmerling with gasoline. She's so driven to kill Bean that she doesn't notices and when she shoots she ends up setting herself on fire. | |

| Riding Bean / int_e542d889 | comment |
Gorn: In the start of the film, we see a pretty roughed up corpse of a security guard and another security guard has his head blown off with a shotgun. Mild version, but after shot in the forehead (that had an armored bandanna) and being rammed by a car against a wall several times by Semmerling in an attempt to kill him at the climax, Bean's head has been twisted almost ninety degrees horizontally. | |
