Like an artist who can't put down their easel and brush, Ogata Rin is an ex-dancer who cannot escape her desire to soar through the air, to push her body, and to accomplish feats that now come naturally to her after a lifetime of training.

But when this prima ballerina in the making suddenly gives up her vocation much to the public's surprise, what happens to her?

Rideback tells the story of Ogata Rin, a ballet prodigy who, due to an injury, was forced to stop practicing ballet.

Recommendations

These animes have a somewhat similar plot...

- The main character of both series discovers something that they have never seen before and the plot will start to build from that point on... -

In both animes there are competitions or races where the characters will need to improve their skills to be able win for their teams or just to be able to help their friends in need...

anyhow ... if you like one of these animes, then i'd bet that you'd like the other aswell! ;)
Both have motorcycle type mechs and each show has some sort of military/government centric plots.
