Bus Gamer is an anime adapted from the manga by Minekura Kazuya. The anime consists of 3 episodes altogether.
Genres: adventure, mystery
Synopsis: 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, they are given the team code of "Team AAA" (Triple Anonymous). 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. 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 must play in the game despite their very own lives being at stake.

It's nice to see another manga from Minekura Kazuya adapted into anime but I felt disappointed with this anime somehow. Of course I'm not expecting the character design to follow exactly like the original drawing but what I am disappointed the most is the storyline. I haven't get my hands on the manga version yet so basically I have no idea whether the anime itself does follow the original storyline or not.
Honestly, even if you have never read the manga version, you can still see there are quite a lot of missing points here. In the first episode, there is a little bit about their pasts and there is also another bits of their past in the second episode. By seeing this, of course you start to wonder the reason why they joined this game have something to do with their pasts or not. However, this anime failed to relate their pasts with the reasons. As far as I can see from this anime, their pasts are included just for the sake of putting it into the anime. Therefore, the mysteries of their pasts are just left hanging. The reason why they join the game is indeed very clear but relating it with their pasts is something that I don't get it. If you're expecting to see character development, unfortunately you can't because you wouldn't see any development with just 3 episodes.
This anime does have violence but it wasn't that many because it'll be ridiculous if too many violence in 3 episodes. So. all I can say don't worry too much about all of those blood and gore.
Overall, I am very disappointed with this anime as the storyline for this anime has been cut short so then it can fit 3 episodes. Because of this, I was left confused and it bored me to death. So, I highly recommend you to read the manga instead of watching the anime version.
