The story revolves around high school girls who discover the appeal of motorcycles. Sakura Hane is a high school student who looks a little bit like an airhead. On the way to her all-female high school one day, she is worn-out climbing a hilly road with a bicycle, but she sees a girl named Onsa Amano who is riding a motorcycle. Sakura immediately becomes interested in motorcycles, and she and Onsa join the motorcycle club at the school. Then, Sakura sets out to get her license.

Bakuon!! is a CGDCT-type show about motorcycles. This is a full fledged anime series and the first adaptation of the author's works. There was an OVA produced as part of the release of the seventh volume of the manga and is essentially set around then whereas the anime starts from the beginning. Please watch the OVA at your own discretion.

PV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EQGOIHBEWs

Staff:
Original Creator - Mimana Orimoto, his previous works are largely porn
Sudio - TMS Entertainment, also produced the OVA
Director - Junji Nishimura, as above also previously directed such works as Glasslip, True Tears, and a slew of other semi-unnotable series


Cast:

Hane Sakura - Almost literally Yui from K-On! in terms of being a complete airhead and nearly oblivious. A First year. Her hairclips resemble the Honda Logo.
VA - Reina Ueda. Also voiced Mira in Dimension W, Mikan in JiwaWawa, Naru in Hanayamata




Onsa Amano - A curly haired girl who's into motorcycles. Also a First year. Energetic and spunky. She thinks quite highly of herself. The closest Keion to her is Ritsu including the fact that they both use Yamahas.
VA - Yumi Uchiyama. Also voiced Etoile in Arslan Senki, Yoko in Kinmoza, Miou in Sabagebu!, Momiji in Binbougami-ga



Lime Kawasaki - Some say that her panty flash causes nosebleeds in a five mile radius, and that her club budget included 20,000 yen for bonito flakes...
The only third year of the club. Her bio also lists her as weighing three apples like a certain kitty cat
VA - The Stig



Rin Suzunoki - A Suzuki-phile and proud of it. Another First Year. Most like Mio I guess. She has a Suzuki brand on her butt from a childhood accident.
VA - Nao Tōyama. Also voiced Kongou in KanColle, Karen in Kinmoza, Chitoge in Nisekoi, Yukino in SNAFU, Chiho in Hataraku Maou-sama,



Hijiri Minowa - She's the Mugi of the group and is just as rich. She also has a certain love for motorcycle gang dramas. Another First year. She doesn't ride herself, but she does in the sidecar of the motorcycle her butler drives.
VA - Rikako Yamaguchi. Mostly bit parts in previous series. First major role.



Chisame Nakano - Essentially Azusa down to the name and twintails and taking things super seriously in comparison to the rest of the group. Not pictured, the Honda PCX 150 she uses when actually going around.
VA - Ibuki Kido. Currently voices the main character in Pan de Peace and did a character in Tonkatsu DJ. Also voiced Magata Shiki in The Perfect Insider, Yume Hasegawa in Pupa, and Rinka Urushiba in Tokyo ESP


Where can you watch it?
Crunchyroll is currently streaming is and wherever :filez: are uploaded.

Some say she runs to school with an entire loaf of bread in her mouth.

Others say that she can explain Evangelion in 10 minutes.

All we know is, she's called Lime Kawasaki.



Bakuon is pretty okay and it's not like I got anything else to watch on Mondays.

Also a motorcycle complains about millenials and that's cool.

I decided to give this a watch after hearing people talk about it, and I really enjoyed the first episode.

The best character is the Stig.

I read the manga awhile back and it was very cute and fun and I am happy to see the anime has done it justice. I am a fan of Onsa's hair and Lime-senpai.

If you like one or both of:

A) motorcycles
B) cute girls

Then the show is worth watching and if you're only into one of those things then maybe you can learn about the other by watching it?!

But for real, there's nothing wrong with two threads, and his works as a catchall for peeps that are reading the manga

Note: Characters and sweet rides will be unspoilered as they appear or are obtained in the series. If you can decipher the moonrune bios from the official page, it's also there
If I can go over and read it right now on the official Japanese site, it's not a spoiler. Even if none of this was up on the site, the fact that the main characters exist and that they ride motorcycles in a series all about motorcycle culture is not a spoiler.

I've removed the black bars. Don't bring them back.

You have an odd definition of "good" if it includes a thread where half the posts are the OP spamming one word to pad the post count.

Funny, perhaps, but I'm not sure about "good".

And yet, even subtracting those posts, after that it still managed to get more posts, that were more interesting to read.

I don't know what's acceptable to spoiler or what isn't so I erred on the side on TVIV's general position on spoilers rather than giving zero fucks as per ADTRW. I was clearly wrong.

TVIV tends to veer towards the way overly cautious. We're a lot more relaxed, comparatively.
