No Cyber? I'm not so sure about that... I know when I was reading a
FAQ somewhere, might have been the rec.arts.anime FAQ, I don't
remember, there has been some speculation among some Riding Bean fans
that Bean might actually be an android. I can buy that theory, after
all, even with a bullet-proof headband I don't think many people would
be able to take a shot to the forehead and still be able to function
so soon afterwards.
Suposedly, the creator of "Riding Bean" was asked if Bean Bandit was
an android, and the creator just chuckled and said, "He's just one
well built sonofabitch." This can be taken any number of ways.
Seriously though, I second the nomination of "Riding Bean" as a
Shadowrun Anime. Bean's car has a few too many James-Bond-Style
gadgets for my tastes, but non-the-less, it's a fun little romp of an
Anime.
