By the same guy who designed the Knight sabers and set in the same
world as Gunsmith Cats, this is well worth a look.
Bean Bandit is a driver for hire. He and his partner Rally (no, not
the one from GSC), act as a team transporting items and people of
dubious legality from A to B without any interference from the police.
Things start to go wrong for Bean when he is asked to carry a message
to the millionaire father of a kidnapped girl, only to discover it’s
a set up.
The plot is so full of convolutions that it would spoil the fun to
mention them here, suffice to say that if you blink at the wrong time
you could miss something.
Bean himself is a bit of an enigma, he seems human enough, but at
one point a villain drives a car at his head, smashing him against
the side of a parked car.The car rams him a couple of times for good
measure, after which Bean gets up apparently unharmed and pulls the
door off the villain’s car. How he does this is never explained, perhaps
he had a can of spinach handy…
Watching this, you can see where the ideas for Rally Vincent and Minnie
May came from. And Bean does make appearances in the Gunsmith Cats
manga…
The action is fast and well done, someone on the production team likes
cars and guns! I saw the dub version which wasn’t that bad, although
the actor playing Bean obviously thought he was Clint Eastwood.
If you like car chases and plots that twist and turn like a twisty
turny thing, you’ll like this.
7/10 - Fast and fun!

Check out Armitage III (if you can find
it!) Its tops for crime busting action, and she turns vigilante too,
just like ol' Bean.
