Bakuon!! OVA

Just a honest review from a regular anime viewer. I really don't know how some of the reviewers manage to write really detailed reviews so like I said it's just a honest review. To begin with, the story wasn't that special at all. There were funny moments and everything, but the story didn't had any fire or any hooks (I mean it wasn't that entertaining to watch (checked my facebook several times while watching it)).

On my opinion if you just stick to the main series and don't watch the OVA, you won't miss anything special and maybe save up some time.

Is it worth to ... watch ? Not really, but if you like Bakuon!! Then yes.


Story: 6
Enjoyment: 6
Overall: 6

*Spoiler*
Raimu Senpai saves the day like always.

Story: OVA1: the first OVA is ok or decent it pretty much that Onsa got the idea to go do 100 mile thing (if i remember that correctly) pretty much for a some coffee (also she heard it from here father) so decides to have her and the girls go and do it.

OVA2: the second OVA is pretty much just about Hijiri and how she got her bike licensee that really all about it and also the her butler turns into a girl for a good bit of the show (sorry i guess for a spoiler there)

Art: art is as good the anime background look ... good and also the characters and the bikes as well wasn't bad at all.

Sound: There was no Op for both of the OVA's but there was for the Ed (kinda odd) but the Ed were good also all the Va's come back so they all did pretty good here.

Character: Hane is the main character of this anime and she is well a really bright light and just overall fun and nice person she is also really energetic all the time also i liked her in the anime she was well done. Ramiu is another main character and i mean personally i can't describe here than she just doesn't talk at all like that the only real thing about her. Hijiri is another main character and she is a person who is actually wealthy and has her own butler drive her around and such sense she can't but she does have a pretty good attitude and not a snobby one again just a cheerful and nice character. Onsa is another main character and she actually has a bike shop unlike the others (granted her father runs it but hopefully you get my point) so she like everyone her is actually a cheerful and kind person in the anime. Rin is the last main character here and she is really passionate about Suzuki bikes to the point of arguing over it with Onsa (they get into alot cause she loves them but Onsa personally hates them so there you go) she can kinda have a snobby attitude but she is a nice and good character here (also i usually don't add support characters here but will but just one). Chisame is a supporting character and she goes to the bike club later she was a minibike rider but doesn't ride them on the rode cause she think they shouldn't be on the rode (uh ok that makes no sense but roll with it) but she is a good character i personally didn't care for her cause i don't know she just seems gloomy and stuff ALL the time but she again is a decent character i should say. (copied it from my own review sense they act the same here).

Enjoyment: What i liked: both OVA's did there job pretty good the comedy i wouldn't say is there at both but i did make me smile a good couple of times also the enjoyment of it is there also again all the same VA's who did a good job with the anime and the OVA's as well here. What i didn't like: i think the only thing i could say i didn't like was that Hijiri getting in a sense her own episode (granted the other girls are there but i feels like just her episode) i didn't mind her but some people who didn't like her should probably say no to this OVA but it was pretty good i never minded Hijiri.

Overall: id give both a 6 the OVA's overall were pretty enjoyable comedy isn't really there but it kinda is the Va's again being here and they did the job pretty good here as for the OVA's in general they were pretty good you really wouldn't be missing anything by skipping the OVA's but i'd give them a shot if your a fan of the anime.

Bakuon!! was a nice series about motorcycles and weird hobbies and why weird hobbies appeal to people. These were some extra episodes tacked on the end for the DVD, and so they didn't have much to do with the overall themes. The first was a trip for some coffee. I didn't think it was that funny, and the story wasn't too engaging, so it was definitely the weaker half. The second episode was about the rich girl graduating to riding motorcycles on her own and it included a nice plot about her butler, who is revealed to have been a crossdresser in his youth, or ... perhaps even trans. Which was cool. I don't think it matched the series at its best, but the second OVA was by far the stronger of these.
