Love it!
I personally own the manga version and absolutely love the storyline and the characters~!
I wish the OVAs continued on to tell more of the story since it's really intriguing.
Kazuya Minekura is probably my fave mangaka of all time... I mean I own all of the Saiyuki series (Reload is still continuing sooo I gotta wait for the U.S. release) and the all of the volumes for Wild Adapter!
She's the best there is and I can't wait to see more of her work~!!

Bus Gamer
A pretty nice series that unfortunately is quite short. Based on a series by Kazuya Minekura (author of Wild Adapter, Sayuki), who is one of my personal favourite mangakas.
The series follows the story of three young men hired by a mysterious company to participate in a business game, in which companies gamble against each other for corporate secrets. The three young men are; Toki Mishiba, Nobuto Nakajyo and Kazuo Saitoh. Each of them have their own reasons for participating but they all share one common goal: to gain money. These three are teamed together and has to cooperate in order to survive the game.
I enjoyed it and liked the characters a lot. If this series only had been longer I think it could've been very good but unfortunately there were too many pieces still missing. It's like ending a series in the middle of the story. Despite this though we get to see some character development, as the three boys starts to get to know one another and learns to trust each other ~
In this OVA series you'll find a bunch of hot guys, interesting story and a few teasers which definitely makes it worth watching. Perhaps if enough people do they might make a continuation :D

As the name says it's about a game. And team AAA is trying to get the CD from other teams.
I have to say that I liked this anime. The characters are well made and have well peronality.
And it's also a god plot with an exciting theme.
I'll will give this anime 4-5 stars

Bus Gamer (short for Business Gamer) is a short, 3 OVA series that follows the equally short Manga pretty darn closely. Created by Kazuya Minekura (mangaka of Saiyuki/Reload/Gaiden), we're treated to an unlikely threesome.
We've got Kazuo, a spunky, energetic blonde that believes in the camaraderie of his makeshift team. Next, we have Nobuto, the dark-haired, stubbly playboy with several bad moods. To round out the triangle, we're treated to the red-headed Toki with a troubled past... Please note that Toki works in a gay host club as a bartender.
Now for the definition of the Bus Game itself. We have several big-time companies that decide to create a large bet by hiring 3-man teams in order to protect a data disk, holding important company secrets. The winning team will claim the disk, and deliver it to their sponsors. For each 'round' they win, the prize money that they have begins to climb ever higher. Through the episodes, you see the team grow ever closer...
Though anyone familiar with Minekura's work knows that it's full of teasing and implications. It's a highly enjoyable set of OVA's that I highly recommend... You might even catch a bit of fanservice hidden within it as well.
