Burning Blood is a solid three episode OVA leaving me wishing an entire series was adapted for the manga. I can smell the potential here, but there isn't enough time to develop all of the characters and their motives.

Gave it a try since its an old anime, and i do like them, and you should give it a try too.

It’s set in Yokosuka, a port city with a large American navy base. Ryo plays the trumpet in a band, and they’ve entered a national music competiti…
