MVM Entertainment have revealed, through a new early bird pre-order offer on Anime-On-Line, that the UK Blu-Ray release of Riding Bean will be released on 2nd June 2025 within the UK.
MVM Entertainment have previously announced a Blu-Ray release of Riding Bean earlier in the year (along with Bubblegum Crisis), but at the time did not mention a release date yet. This UK Blu-Ray release of Riding Bean meanwhile is expected to use the same disc masters as those used by MediaOCD / Animeigo in America. These featured the OVA in English & Japanese (with English subtitles) and included a Kenichi Sonoda interview, an original trailer, a new Blu-ray trailer, and an art gallery as bonus features.
Synopsis: 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!
Riding Bean is expected to be released on 2nd June 2025 with pre-orders now being accepted at Anime-On-Line. Pre-Orders at other retailers are expected to appear in the near future.
