As someone who loves the manga, I appreciate what they did with this adaption. The anime has great music, they didn’t change the art style from the manga, and the characters are still the beloved characters from the manga that I recognize and adore. This is definitely a classic delinquent story and it’s a fun little series but it also tackles a lot of difficult topics like; r*pe, violence, and etc. Because it’s an older work, I’d say the topic of r*pe wasn’t handled very well so if that is a possible trigger, stay away from this. Other than that, it’s very difficult to findthe entirety of the series. I’m someone who’s definitely willing to pay to watch what I want but I can’t even figure out where to do that. It’s not on Funimation, Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime, Hulu, or Netflix. The only way I was able to find out where to watch the entire thing is on YouTube by searching up Bad Boys OVA… and sadly there are no English Subtitles. If you can’t speak Japanese other websites definitely have them but only the first three episodes, they do not have all five. I also found the DVD’s on EBay but I’m definitely not spending 170 something on a show that only has 5 episodes. I know that if you put the 5 episodes together it’s basically a super long movie but even so, I somehow doubt it has English subtitles. So I’d be spending all of that money, for what?

If you want to consume more of the story I think it’s definitely less of a hassle to read the manga. Although the first few chapters are very strange, it gets so much better. I wish that I could finish the anime so if anyone has some tips to find the rest of the anime, I’d love the help. Otherwise, from what I’ve seen so far, it’s a great adaption. It cuts out some of the weirdo stuff from the beginning of the story and one of the worst characters in the series so it flourishes in a way the manga didn’t when it first started out. It has the charm, from the manga, that kept me binge reading. It’s a wonderful series. Definitely watch it or read it. 9/10 highly recommend.
