A synopsis for Riding Bean reads:
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...
From the high-octane imagination of Kenichi Sonoda (Gunsmith Cats, Otaku no Video) and the animation gearheads of AIC (Bubblegum Crisis, Tenchi Muyo) comes a classic tale of trouble in the windy city! This action-packed can of beautiful Bean Bandit footage rolls onto Blu-ray in stunning high definition! Featuring the original Japanese language with English subtitles alongside the English Dub!
Following the release of Riding Beans, writer Kenichi Sonoda created the manga series Gunsmith Cats. The manga series, which spawned an anime series, included characters featured in Riding Beans.
