If you killed any Indian with a lazer canon you have to be an epic anime.

Really great anime. I recommend to watch. It's not too long and not too short and time passes really fast when you watch it. You won't get bored or etc. Fighting scenes are really awesome as well as story and ending is really great as well. Feels completed.

The animation was surprisingly smooth.
Storywise it wasn't anything outstanding and sometimes the imcompetence of the villlains was hard to believe, but overall it was an enjoyable watch.

Not particularly compelling, and the tendency of characters to exposit or state the obvious ("Water is pouring out of Baoh's capsule!") was pretty annoying, but it was well-animated and the story was at least functional if not very creative. Sadly this is a lot more than you can say for some one-shot OVAs from around this time.

Entertaining trash splatter. Could use some better music. Sadly Baoh doesn't really get much more be it this OVA or the manga. I think he is fairly cool.

Well that was metal as hell. It was really rad, I mean it's no JoJo, but it was really fun and entertaining. Plus it was cool to see something by the guy who would later go on to make JoJo, and see some of the traits in their prototype forms like the occasional ultra violence, dog murder tradition, movie references, crazy weirdness, and most importantly, SICK POSES

Story is simple. There's action, gay-bondage guy in a water container, loli-dere, odd animal and secret organisation with Juggernaut Native American and T-1000 fighting steroid teen-angst tennager.

but

The animation was really high quality almost eye-popping -get it? because eyes were poping out and shit... yeah

Well anyways, 7/10 but you need to love 80's whatsoever.

That was pretty badass, nice animation and had some interesting ideas that I can see were sort of used in JoJo. I just felt the OVA felt rushed, which makes sense seeing as how I assume a lot had to be cut out to make the manga a 45 minute OVA.

Feel like BATTLE TEDENCY expect the winner is Cars instead JoJo.
Also that Indian guys, it give me Sandman vibe.

Decent Animation, well paced and a nicely compact story that left me satisfied and content after 45mins. This is certainly an enjoyable OVA and worth the time despite being paint by the numbers in places.

If you enjoyed this I would recommend Bio Hunter which is very similar and also of a good quality (imo slightly better).

That first assassination attempt was not very well thought out... stabs the guy and stands back as the MC slowly limps over to a bike and rides off. "Damn."

Even with the cuts and changes this was too rushed for the runtime.

Aye, the manga gave the impression that he was cut off by a bunch of traffic, but here he's just hilariously inept.

Holy crap I honestly enjoyed this considering how I enjoy the Jojo series a lot. It’s nice seeing Araki’s old work into motion picture and I’m upset that it’s not that well known for a good OVA like this. I hope Ikura will wake up once Sumire turns 17, because man they look so cool together
Anime fan and enjoyer since 2017, but still searching for more well written and unpredictable anime cuz bruh I’ve been stuck in the shounen genre for a long time and I wanna explore more poopoo caca

It was very fun to watch. I read the manga months before watching this OVA, and I must say I was satisfied by the way the source material was adapted. There were some changes, sure, but they fit into the adaptation really well, making the whole show fun to watch for both people familiar with the manga, and people who have never read it. At least that's what I think.

"Baoh" anime is dynamic, with good direction, great animation and audio. It gives strong 1980s vibes, which I find as another advantage of it.

A really great OVA, one of the best gory OVAs I've seen, the animation was smooth and the story is really good, too bad it's not a full series, awesome fight scenes, Walken was cool villain,
I'll give it a 9 because this was in the 80s and it was well made compared to the animes and OVAs of the time.
