Synopsis

Maeda is a new student in the Teiken High School. He stutters when he's nervous and he's rather clumsy. He gets noted immediately because he hits a teacher during the entrance ceremony. Some clubs search to enlist him as they see in him a force they can use to get even with other clubs. But Maeda is a loner and has only one dream: becoming a boxing champion. (Source: MU)

Rate:7 seen via english subtitles Plot Pro: has a positive message. No matter what you will do your classmates will come in when you need them Pro: had a nice turn of events. For example, the ending was not what you would expect. Not only a real game changer but a nice form of payback. Negative: plot was fairly simple. Fight for respect and honor.Art Pro: blended nicely with the art Pro: did not show realistic blood. Normally that might be a drawback but this is a comedy so it works. Pro: had a nice little different cartoonist intro. Which added to the comical vibe. Character Pro: each character had an appropriate background.

Despite its departure from the original source material and subpar visuals, 'Rokudenashi blues' offers a concise narrative within its limited runtime. While the condensed format may not fully capture the depth of the story, it still manages to deliver an entertaining experience. Although the animation quality leaves much to be desired, . Overall, 'Rokudenashi blues' may not be a faithful adaptation, but it still provides a decent watch for fans looking for a brief immersion into its world its one of my favorites manga but i hate to see it in this shape so yeah just watch it to hear maeda voice other than the movietakes away -9999999 aura from the manga

I watched this OVA on YouTube. The video had a terrible 240p resolution and the subtitles were the most retarded Engrish subs ever made, making sometimes impossible to follow the dialogues due to the barely understandable/nonsense translation. This made the whole experience quite painful, seriously limiting the overall enjoyment, but the anime is decent. Rokudenashi Blues is just another obscure and hard to find OVA from the early 90s. It's nothing special: very short and with a simple plot, it features some classic high school gang-related violence. There isn't much room for character or plot development because the OVA is about 30 minutes long. Artand animation are fair enough for an anime from the early 90s. The overall enjoyment is enough for this anime to be worth watching. Recommended if you're into minor and obscure OVAs, if you like the 80s/90s style animation and/or if you want to watch something entertaining but you don't want to start a TV series or a long movie.
