This anime is highkey a super niche watch ONLY DEDICATED TO RIDERS!!!
Quick review,
This show is simply about cute girls doing cute things on motorcycles with a lot of jokes and references towards the bikes, so if you don't really know much about motorcycles or are expecting some crazy, in-depth character writing like Bocchi the Rock, this anime won't appeal to you. Compared to other similar shows in its genre such as Bocchi the Rock, K-On, Yuru's Camp, etc, the main selling point in Bakuon is that it focuses a lot more on its theme (the motorcycles duh), rather than character writing (good character depth and development.) There also isn't really a plot in this show, and there is a bunch of random fanservice that you'll either love or hate.
That being said, if you're into motorcycles a…

10/10 if you're motorcycle nerd, it contains soo many references that make it funny if you're in the know. It has some fun takes on silly rivalship that happens in the hobby and it's history
6/10 otherwise, without that knowledge you'd just be missing a ton of jokes or they won't be as funny without the wider context.
Overall it's a slice of life anime centred around motorcycle culture. It also have literal Jesus on Bike. At least one anthropomorphised bike.
Some 3D on motorcycles but IMO done pretty well, decent animation, state-required amount of boob bounce, memes for days and cute characters
No real story across episodes whatsoever, this is "eat your dinner while watching it" kind of anime.

This is my first review and i won't write a lengthy essay because you only need to know a few things.
Bakuon is a mediocre anime, the only reason anyone can enjoy it is if they're into motorcycles and just want to watch an anime centered around motorcycles. If you're not into motorcycles you're going to miss 90% of the jokes and references which is one of the few redeeming aspects of the show. Did you watch Wangan midnight after initial D ignoring all the bad reviews because you just wanted to watch a car anime? Yeah that's the kind of situation this is. There isn't any story or progression like Initial D which would make it exciting. Also there's a quite a few scenes of highschool girls being sexualised so if that's not your thing then good luck. The positives I can say about it is that…

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 span…

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 motorcycl…

Yes, I know. Cute girls doing cute things. Boring! I agree, such shows can indeed be tedious, but not this one. This one actually has depth to its humour, which makes the world of difference.
Bakuon doesn't just focus on the cute girls, it actually goes into great detail about the ways of motorcycle enthusiasts. It mocks a bikers love of their own bike over that of all others, yet at the same time embraces how wonderful it feels to have that love. It explores both the upside and the downside of motorcycle ownership without prejudice. That honesty makes the whole thing relatable; even to those of us who have no interest in bikes. And that's an essential ingredient for any comedy to work. And what great comedy it was.
There are no cheap laughs here. The jokes are extremely well thought out…

I had to put an average note on every part. Because there is a huge difference on the ways I watch this anime.
As a motorcycle fan, I love the precission the author drew the bikes and how exactly the love for the bikes the owners have.
As a person, I F****NG loathe that underage ladies are pictured as suitable riders, and there is sexual abuse shown in one of the episodes. WTF!?!?!?
I mean, if the ladies were 18 years old (or older), apart of picturing women in a way they are not ("but, you know, is just an anime, not real life!") that would be "acceptable", but the way this anime has been made seems totally wrong.
The story is nothing special, the characters are average, the music is kinda cool making the anime look like funny, but... I came for the motorcycles, and I had to make an e…

Story: the story in this is pretty almost typical honestly but its about Hane who is walking to school one day when she someone riding a motorcycle and she decides that would be her passion pre say so she joins a bike club in the school to so she joins the club and now she has her new found love and that is motorbike so she starts learning about them and so on that is really about it for the story is really not a hard story to understand.
Art: the art here is really done her personally no idea if CGI was involved in this in any way but if it was never noticed anything wrong with here unlike some other bikes ive seen (granted those were nitpicks if anything) as for character look and backgrounds they look good.
Sound: the Op and Ed were really good at first i didn't care for them but late…

(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
I’ve never ridden a motorcycle, but I used to ride my bike around my neighborhood as a kid.
The bike was a hand-me-down from my cousin. It had a glossy green metallic frame. The back wheels had these extra spokes to let someone else stand on (or for grinding rails should one be skilled enough). And it made a nice clicking noise as I rode it down the sidewalk. It was a cool bike which, by proxy, made me cool, too (which is pretty hard to do).
While I liked that bike very much (and maybe because of it), I’ve always wanted to try riding a motorcycle. And as the girls of Bakuon!! prove, motorcycles are more than just glorified bicycles.
STORY
Bakuon begins with Hane, a happy girl who is eager to start her high-scho…

A funny, epesodic, fan-servicy anime about cute girls on motorcycles. While I do not know.... well, anything about motorbikes, this show breaks down concepts enough for you to understand the incoming jokes. If you like motorbikes and/or a bit of slapstick comedy you might wanna check this out.
There is not much overarching story here and most episodes are self contained. Hence it gets a sort of low grade.
The art is pretty nice overall. The characters are all designed differently that you do not get bored looking at them. The motorbikes are all well designed too (goodness knows they better be). I tend to make a habit of watching cars in the background of anime to see how good the cg is. While most shows seem to put no effort into this aspect, the cg in this show is pretty good. most mo…

Bakuon!! is a cute girls show. It has messages about friendship, moe moments, and a bit of fanservice. It is not any sort of game-changer, and doesn't have any sort of deep meaning, but that does not mean that it is not a damn good time.
The best thing about this anime is that the girls are absolute bike nerds. They argue about which manufacturer makes the best bikes, and they are loyal to the point of idiocy. They talk about the specs of their bikes and enthuse over bike magazines. It's hilarious.
The humor of this series is absolutely on point. Jesus Christ is a character in this anime. He tell the main character that God loves motorcycles and presents her with the holy grail. What more can I say?
In short, this anime is a good time if you're looking to blow off steam or need a smile. A…

This is entertainment. If you like motorcycles and/or chested high school girls, this is fun, enough to check at least one (1) episode.
Even for people with some familiarity with the medium this could be enjoyable.
The jokes aren't unfunny, the characters aren't yet that stereotypical or hateable, the animation is fine.
It's very proficiently done, and although as a SoL there obviously isn't any grand story, it isn't at all disagreeable to watch start to finish and it has a little progression for the characters.
It's inoffensive, but enjoyable. If I'd particulary want to recommend it, it's very good for:
Around 100d, middle experience, it's fun, it's not informative, not indicative, but it's good fun entertainment.

As a rider myself, I couldn't help but laugh at every single episode in this anime, it is just hilarious. All motorcyclists out there has got to watch this series for the pure comedy. Overall, the anime was very enjoyable and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a light hearted series to watch, especially for people coming off horrible endings and such 'you know what' lol.
The fun factor of this anime is doubled for motorcyclist audiences but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it if you aren't. That's basically saying if your not a chef, you wouldn't enjoy Shokugeki or if your not a basketball player, you wouldn't enjoy KnB. So this anime is definitely for everyone.
Obviously, its a school setting, the usual girls only anime with some fan service, so if your not a fan of these typ…

I am glad that I watched this.
I would recommend this to others.
I have watched this once, subtitled. I have only watched the anime.
I may watch this again.
---- Positives ----
Motorcycles get a decent amount of focus.
This series incorporates motorcycles into the story well. It's not just a detail. Time is well spent.
Pacing was great throughout. The club members actually go out and do things, as opposed to just sitting in their clubroom.
A new character is introduced toward the end of the series, and this is done well.
Near the end of the series, the club gets a new member, and episodes after this point still focus a good amount on all members.
Sakura is voiced well.
Her voice stands out and fits her character well.

The biggest regret that I've had with this show, is in not writing a timely review praising its delectable outrageousness. Welcome to Bakuon!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There's simply nothing to gush about when it comes to the basic plot of the show, rather what isn't explained outright is that this show is an absolutely irreverent parody of the subject matters it features- complete with random scenes of sheer absurdity drenched in over-the-top -and at times, subtle- goofiness.
Which brings us to question just what on earth does it make fun of? Biking perhaps? Why of course, the whole thing is essentially about biking, but it makes fun of it in spades! And what else does it make fun of as well? Oh plenty really, anything from traffic laws to business practices…

NOTE: This may contain spoilers.
Story: Very interesting and funny storylines in the anime. Plus, it's great to see how motorcycles can bring a group of friends together.
Characters:
Hane - She is sweet & adorable. Hane reminds me of Yui from K-On! & is a new-comer to the world of motorcycles.
Onsa - She is very tomboy-ish and cool. She has two younger brothers and her family owns a motorcycle shop.
Rin - She has long, blonde hair and large assets. & idolizes Suzuki.
Hijiri - She is a rich, soft-spoken girl. She has a butler by her side (especially during their motorcycle adventures). Plus, she is also very creative and funny when she takes her ideas to the next level.
Raimu-Senpai - The eldest student of the main characters. She is very caring towards her friends and is an experienced…

Bakuon tells the story of a girl who likes motorcycles. She makes her best to get a license to drive these vehicles, and get one of this so she can join to the bike club.
Throughout the anime we can watch the girls from the club talking about the bikes and driving her motorcyles to travel from one place to another.
When I was watching it I remembered K-On and other similar animes, it really feels like you're watching any of these.
Maybe if you don't know anything about these stuff you will feel a little confused (like me), but that doesn't mean that the anime is bad. In my opinion, I say you give it a chance. Maybe you can enjoy it more than I did.

Yes, riding a bike doesn't necessarily involve drug trades or gang shootings.
Story:
Well, it's a comedy about "cute girls doing cute things", the gimmick this time is motorcycles. The question is, how much did they do with said gimmick? A lot actually. They talk about bikes all the time, they ride them all the time and most episodic plots are about motorcycles, so I'd say the potential is fully utilized. Since I don't know anything about these vehicles, I can't judge how accurate they handle the subject, but it looked like they did well. The comedy is varying heavily, from cute shenanigans to perverted fanservice. I don't mind either, but sometimes it felt like I was watching two different shows.
9/10

The bikes all look pretty good, as far as I can tell. The girls surprisingly fall…

Oh boy, I'm detecting a sudden influx of otakus going to their nearest motorcycle dealership store and they're going to purchase a Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha or Suzuki motorcycle. We all know they're going to go for Suzuki because Rin = best grill of the series.
[Story]
If you've seen a "cute girls doing cute things" type of anime before then Bakuon is no different. Well, there are slight changes here. Instead of "Cute girls doing cute things", it's "cute girls doing cute things in a motorcycle". I haven't seen that before. No, really, I haven't so a show featuring cute high school girls riding in a motorcycle is new for me. Except the formula is nothing new as the show is still the same old "cute girls doing cute things"
The story of Bakuon is basically a high school girl named Sakura Ha…
