Early Reins features six beautiful women on a train en route to Sunshine Hill in the early 1800s. When the train is highjacked by robbers and the soldiers on board are caught unawares, another surprise is in store: these lovely ladies can fight! The heroine emerges as Margarette, a young woman determined to become a sheriff although she is somewhat lacking in experience. She gains plenty on this trip, however, and the ragtag team of Western warriors joins forces with another passenger, Spencer, to fight some nefarious bandits and guide the train to safety.

Where it came from
Early Reins was released in 2003 as an original video animation produced by OLM, a studio primarily recognized for its long-standing work on the Pokémon franchise. The project was part of a broader industry trend during the early 2000s in which Japanese animation studios experimented with shorter, standalone OVA formats to explore niche genres and visual styles outside of their standard television production schedules.
The production was directed by Kōichi Mashimo, a prominent figure in the industry known for his work at Bee Train. The artistic direction leaned into a minimalist, character-driven narrative structure, aiming to capture a sense of melancholic realism. Upon its release, the project was noted by enthusiasts of experimental animation for its departure from OLM's typical commercial aesthetic, though it remained a relatively obscure entry in the studio's extensive catalog.
