Gunsmith Cats
Rally Vincent and Minnie May are twogirls with a lot of fire power. When they are not busy managing their gun store, they are working as bounty-hunter duo the Gunsmith Cats. Rally's incredible gunslinging skills and Minnie's obsession for big explosions make the GunSmith Cats a deadly force, and every task an adventure.

add recThe blatant similarities between Riding Bean and Gunsmith Cats are going to be the fast cars, the similar animation style and actually almost identical action. If these elements attracted you to Riding Bean, you will like Gunsmith Cats.
Set in the same storyline, Bean Bandit was originally a noble villain of Gunsmith Cats, one of those typically japanese dark heroes who you have to respect even before they side themselves with the good guys (sorta of Dessler/Desslock in the Yamato/Starblazer saga).
Regrettably the animation went quite messy and while GSC ended at the third episode, we get Bean fighting with a Rally named partner (no, it's not the same Rally) a woman who very closely resembles GSC's archnemesis.
In short, watching both anime becomes a must if you don't feel satisfied with just one and want more of the same crazied runs and gunfights in the Chicago that Sonoda's dreamt about.

Bubblegum Crisis
The year is 2032. Tokyo has been destroyed by a great earthquake and a new city, MegaTokyo, has risen from the ashes.

The A.D. Police force was created to try and stop this menace, but its weapons can do little more than annoy the Boomers. Hope lies with the Knight Sabers, four young women with high-tech, armored suits and enough firepower to stop an army - but will it be enough to stop MegaTokyo's greatest threat?

add recMore Kenichi Sonoda's goodness and, while I'm fully aware none of these projects ended up with a decent anime (at least compared to what they deserved), I can't help recommend them to every fan who wants to watch enjoyable stories with this likeable charades that now seems so retrò...
Kinda nostalgic, I guess...
