Bakuon!!

Every day Hane Sakura makes the arduous trip to school, cycling up a large hill on her bicycle. After encountering the motorcycle enthusiast Onsa Amano one morning, she is introduced to the motorcycle club, led by the ever-silent Raimu Kawasaki. New to motorcycles, Sakura experiences firsthand the difficulty of learning to ride again. However, through this, she hopes to once again recreate her first biking experience, which was filled with both horror and exhilaration.

Alongside Baita, the talking motorcycle; Rin Suzunoki, a Suzuki model enthusiast; Hijiri Minowa, a wealthy girl who dreams of being a thug; and professional racer Chisame Nakano, Sakura strives toward getting her bike license and experiencing the joys and hardships of motorcycles.

Hello brothers of the Church of Bakuon!!

Welcome all. On this blessed day of teen biker girl superiority we gather to discuss our best girl, all of them (but mainly frizzy).

This show is ultimate anime.

Do you want badass girls? Check.

Do you want Jesus Christ? Check.

... Do you want tig ole bitties? Check.

Do you want a hot springs episode? Check.

Do you need transgendered representation? Check.

Do you need a trap? Check.

Do you need the Stig? With vagina? Check.

Do you need a drunk handsy suicidal teacher? Check.

Do you need to be entertained? Check.

Look, this is my favorite anime. It is in all honesty at best a 6-7/10 show.

But,in my heart I could never rank it this low. Waifus for days. Tomboys. Bikes (which are well rendered). And the love of biking (motor kind, not that spandex sissy kind) makes this the best use of anime ever conceived.

When the west falls and we go to war I will have Onsa on the side of my truck as I ride into battle.

Yamaha superiority forever.

--------------------------------------

Welcome, my fellow weeb petrolheads, to my review of Bakuon. Now, let me tell you, this anime is like a motorbike that looks cool, but doesn't quite live up to the hype.

First off, the story is a bit all over the place. It's like they threw a bunch of motorcycle-related ideas at a wall and just went with whatever stuck. And don't even get me started on the talking motorcycle. It's like Knight Rider, but with a lot less David Hasselhoff.

Now, the voice acting is decent enough, but the real star of the show is the sound design. The motorcycles ... all sound awesome, and the revving engines will get any gearhead's heart racing.

As for the music, well, it's forgettable at best. It's like elevator music for motorcycles.

Overall, I'd give a score of 6.555/10. It's not the worst anime out there, but it's not exactly a masterpiece either. If you're a fan of motorcycles, it's worth a watch, but don't expect too much.

--------------------------------------

Selamat datang, teman-teman wibu penggemar kendaraan bermotor, di ulasan saya tentang Bakuon. Sekarang, biarkan saya memberitahu Anda, anime ini seperti sepeda motor yang terlihat keren, tetapi tidak sepenuhnya memenuhi harapan.

Pertama-tama, ceritanya agak berantakan. Seperti mereka melemparkan sejumlah ide terkait sepeda motor ke dinding dan hanya mengambil apa saja yang menempel. Dan jangan biarkan saya memulai tentang sepeda motor yang bisa berbicara. Ini seperti Knight Rider, tetapi dengan David Hasselhoff yang lebih sedikit.

Nah, pengisi suara cukup baik-baik saja, tetapi bintang sesungguhnya dari pertunjukan ini adalah desain suara. Semua suara sepeda motor terdengar luar biasa, dan mesin yang dinyalakan akan membuat hati siapa saja yang suka kendaraan bermotor berdegup kencang.

Sedangkan untuk musiknya, ya, itu mudah dilupakan. Ini seperti musik latar untuk sepeda motor.

Secara keseluruhan, saya memberikan nilai 6,555 / 10. Ini bukan anime terburuk di luar sana, tetapi juga bukan mahakarya. Jika Anda penggemar sepeda motor, ini patut ditonton, tetapi jangan berharap terlalu banyak.

Not Recommended

Story: 1/10
What story? It's just your typical schoolgirl series with motorcycles about their daily lives.
Art: 3/10
The art was horrendous. Stilted animation, horrible character design, and whenever they were riding their motorcycles, they suddenly became 3D along with the entire background.
Sound: 3/10
The music was terrible. The only song I kind of liked was the ending. Otherwise, the music they used in the scenes was so simple and forgettable.
Character: 2/10
All of them are 1-dimensional and get no character development. The only reason I'm not giving the characters a 2 is because I will admit, all of the girls are really hot.
Enjoyment: 2/10
I don't know anything about motorcycles, ... but even if you do, I guarantee you that you will not enjoy this series. It's boring and random. The only source of enjoyment is the fanservice.
Final score: 1/10
Don't watch it. Just don't. There are way better schoolgirl anime out there than this poor excuse.
