A forgotten gem. If you are into studying Japan's peak Bubble Era economy time, this would be a great addition to your list. It excellently captures the mindset of people at the time- and shows a perspective of young adulthood. Full of hardship, turmoil, romance and of course, violence.
I would say this series inspired many other shows that came after it. It has this pure feeling about its story. As if you were there experiencing that time with the characters. The story is set, stark in the late 1980s and emerging into early 1990's. The characters are delightfully cast into predicaments that can only pertain to that era. Like getting lost in an unfamiliar neighboring district in the bustling metropolis that is Tokyo with no directions or information. That kind of story is what you'll see…

DISCLAIMER: This is a review I did on anilist just copy pasted here. It is spoiler-free as well.
The delinquent/yankii subculture was very popular in Japan during the 1970s-1990s, which in turn became reflected in its pop culture during this time. The delinquent manga was a very popular sub-genre during the 1980s-1990s being reflective of its era, with its pompadour worn protagonists and side characters exploring the lives of their youth as they get into fights with rival gangs, experience romance, form stronger comradery with their friends, among many other exciting adventures. This subgenre created many popular series that stand as some of the most iconic and best-selling manga to this day such as Rokudenashi Blues, Crows, Bad Boys, and the title I'm reviewing right now, Be-Bop High Sch…

This is a very good and well executed old-school anime about high-school delinquent gangs and all the cliches in terms of portrayal you would expect from that sort of premise and age of animation.
Unlike other delinquent anime, this one focuses more on conflicts and fighting, yet there are still elements of comedy and goofiness, which lighten the mood. But do not expect Cromartie High School tier of comedy. It is episodic, which means that each 1-hour episode is a self-contained story, however, it's chronological so the outcomes of one episode carry to the next.
Episode 5 is probably the funniest one. Overall, a very good delinquent series recommended to all fans of the delinquent genre.

Rokudenashi Blues, Shakotan Boogie, Taiman Blues Hen... If you take a close look at most Yankee themed anime, it seems like there is no shortage of titles branded with music genre typology. However, video distributors never cared to localize them all. During their heyday, little was known about their rapid market growth in the East, so many entries never experienced overseas release beyond one or two episodes. That being said, this subgenre is not as monolithic as one might think. Creators can deviate from the subgenre's canons while preserving its founding spirit and introducing variety. For instance, they may focus on gang rivalries without a clear protagonist, recount the tale of a pair of carjackers, delve into the meaning of the streets' code of honor, or, as in this case, offer a com…
