Both are about a weak main character that has a special ability or a passion for a certain sport and his evolution.
The only difference is the character and attitude of the main female roles and the sport in which they are involved in. The main characters are very similar and have hidden talent as well as a weak exterior.
The same type. Sport anime with lot of nice actions. Ok ? It's sufficiently long ?

Defo very similar in character development as Ippo. The weak but limitless lead character that is being bullied and the serious/ace senpai etc
Ippo is one of the best animes ever, and my favourite. Defo recommend to a fan of Over Drive.

Both are sports anime with numerous gay undertones, hot female supporting characters, and male leads that strive to better themselves at their respective sport.
Still can't get enough of unique characters, a sport anime that requires team work and strategy ? Ookiku Furikabutte is a baseball based anime that will grab your heart.

Even though one is about cycling and the other is about a rock band, there's a similarity in the personality and story development of the main characters -- quiet, unassuming guy finding a new niche and a group of friends through a new interest -- that might appeal to people who who liked the relationships more than the subject matter. Both Shinozaki (Over Drive) and Koyuki (Beck) end up having a natural aptitude that's brought out through the combined efforts of a charismatic brother and sister pair, etc, etc, etc. The shows really are similar in the general sense (not so much in art or subject matter, obviously).
The plots are totally different but they are both quite realistic stories of teams joining together and fighting to be their best. If you like the realistic style you'll enjoy watching both of these. And even learn a bit of stuff about music and bike riding that you didn't know before.

RideBack is about motorcycles and OverDrive is about bicycles, leading to similar events ... racing. The main character in each series starts out with a lot of hidden potential, they both learn quickly and enough to reach the level of their coaches - even personality-wise, they both seem shy on the outside but have a fiery competitive spirit that shines as they ride. RideBack seems to have a more elaborate plot, but I'd say both series would please to the same audience!

the main characters obtain a impossible looking dream and go for it not realizing that they are better than they think. also they both seem to be similar in the way they approach the sport.

They're both sporty anime, about the main character getting stronger physically and mentally as the story progresses. Of course, the main characters happen to become friends with amazing people who help them in their process of getting better in their sport. Both have good humor.

Both anime are about sports although in overdrive they race bikes and the main character isnt as headstrong as ikki. Still both anime are have the right amount of action and comedy

If you like Over Drive for the cycling aspect, Nasu is the only other cycling anime I know of, and it's pretty good.
"Nasu: Summer in Andalusia follows the story of a professional Spanish cyclist, Pepe Benengeli, as he competes in the Vuelta a España road bicycle race through his home town in the Iberian region of Andalusia. As the story progresses, Pepe is faced with frustrating consequences, with him facing pressure from his sponsors and the wedding of his former girlfriend, Carmen, to his elder brother, Angel, coinciding on the same day of the penultimate stage of the bicycle race, and strives to gain the respect of his team and family."
It has also been an announced that a sequel to the film, Nasu 2, is currently being produced, which will be set in Japan on the Japan Cup Cycle Road Race, and is slated to be released in 2007.
