About Bus Gamer

Meet Bus Gamer, an action anime by Anpro (2008). Here is the premise in a nutshell. What the story covers: When three complete strangers, Mishiba Toki, Nakajyo Nobuto, and Saitoh Kazuo, are hired by a corporation to compete in the Bus Game, an illegal dog-fight conducted in strict secrecy. This group of three who differ entirely from their living environments to their personalities have to work together effectively, but without mutually wiping out their mistrust of each other or prying into each other's privacy.

As things develop, they only have one point in common—each of them need a large amount of money for their individual circumstances. To get the money, they has to play in the game despite their very own lives being at stake.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Anpro, which means the visual identity of Bus Gamer follows that studio's craft. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.6/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. It aired in 2008, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
