| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Seriously, this could be one of the best this season. The background music was amazing and I got this Initial D feel when i'm watching the race scenes. The bike still looks a little weird for me, but i'm getting used to it. |
| Awesome episode again. :D The story behind the GGP is starting and the connections to one character is building up. Can't wait for the next ep |

| This makes me think of a cross between "Rocket Girls" and "Capeta", but with older protagonists. So far Rideback is a lot of fun - I hope that they don't ruin it by going serious with the war story. |
| is the sub out yet? |
| And I thought after she fell, she wouldn't have a comeback. hehe. The whole episode was awesome, but I just thought that ballad jump was weird O_O |

It really creates this awesome vibe =D AkariChan said: And I thought after she fell, she wouldn't have a comeback. hehe. The whole episode was awesome, but I just thought that ballad jump was weird O_O Oh I know! I was so happy when she got back on the road =D The ballet jump was surprising, but I thought the ballet jump was a really awesome turning point for her. It will be her way of leaving her signature on the whole ride back experience and also a way for her to make a name for herself. I love how her ballet experience is influencing how she rides =D |

| Great episode.When they race It's like that you are riding with them. dbaranyi said: I hope that they don't ruin it by going serious with the war story. It gonna be more awesome if they include it :D. But Isn't it obvious that they gonna include the war story. |

| This is really turning out to be kind pro. I was a bit unsure after the first part of episode one, watching ballet i was left thinking i had downloaded the wrong thing. Then it kicked into the main part and showed us the ridebacks, truely awesome i want one. aaronluis26 said: The ballet jump was surprising, but I thought the ballet jump was a really awesome turning point for her.

I love how her ballet experience is influencing how she rides =D I completely agree, it makes her movements look so fluid and natural. At first even if i do watch shoujo/shoujo ai, watching thing thats ballet was pushing it, but it truely does look cool when you see her doing things like that on Fuego. Definately one of the ones to watch from this season. My thanks go out to I-Z for subbing this. |
 |
| I really hope the DO bring in the war because that'd add a little more depth to the story... Plus it'll be nice to see how it will turn out, just to stay away from generic endings. |
| That was f*ckin' sweet! The glasses girl annoys me to death but it seems like that most anime needs a character like that.. At this point though the only dramatic conflict is Rin's lack of hairbrushing, but i can put up with that Want moar now!! |
| Awesome! This is the anime this season that makes me really look forward to the next episode. I love the animation. the only thing that bothers me aside from annoying glasses girl is Rin's hair, with all the little bits stiking out. lol anyway, can't wait till the next episode! |
| Brilliant episode, i can't believe how much i love this series at the moment. The way Rin rides as though it were ballet is great. |
| Tamayo is hot with her Kawasaki. <3 |

| I think Rin and her friends may join the rebels at once |

| Wow. I loved this episode. Everything that was kind of weird for me in the last episode, is just really charming in this one. Even the super shounen aspects of the characters are eased up in this really light, effervescent tone. I don't know what to say. I'm happily surprised. But the best thing about this show that it feels complete from episode to episode. I'm not finishing it thinking they stopped in the middle of something to keep my interest. They are just executing this very sharply and competently, like they're very confident with what they have. |
| seems like this anime is completely about racing, I wonder if Rin is going to do missions later and hopefully the framerate of the cgi ridebacks isn't that low next time. anyway, It was AWESOME. loved it |
 |
| Getting excited over that last turn Rin made me feel so incredibly nerdy, which I'm going to regard as a good thing, really enjoying this series so far. |
 |
| me too! I was a little ashamed of myself at that point...I don't normally go all ZOMG! for stuff, but that was pretty awesome. |
| This is becoming better and better. I was actually expecting Rin to ride along the wall during the turn but I guess a ballet spin fits her better. Tamayo seems like a pretty coal character. The CG in this is pretty good too I think... way better than what GONZO can offer up. |
 |
| very nice very nice. pretty cool race. the usual plot development though, so nothing unexpected. |
| Hmmm this episode was far weaker than the first. The 3D scenes are really horrible, the rides are not that interesting and the characters are not that loveable for the moment, not counting that the plot hasn't really started yet, so it could mean an early drop in the next episodes if the true plot doesn't start. Well, I didn't expect anything from this series in the first place and it seems like the first episode was a fluke. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| ^ Lol, yeah I'm not digging her hair style, sure it's alright, the thing bugs me are those strands of hair just sticking out, like o.O lol This series is pretty amazing so far. Really loved how she cut that corner with her skills lol, owned the Tamayo lol. This show gives me abit of a Air Gear feeling to it, anyone else? not sure if this was mentioned but oh well. And yeah the background music is pretty nice too. |
 |
| Wow that was amazing the action really put you in the bikers seat it's great. Music fits the awesomness well. This series came as quite a surprise but it came in hard and fast. PS. Bad Ass Biker Girlz = pure win ! |
 MAL list updates |
| Awesome episode... Didn't comment on 1st episode cause i still had doubts (although my F5 button is almost dead because of me mashing it on TT waiting for Epi2) but this may just be the best anime of the season (although there isn't much concorrence imho). Music is awesome (need OST FAST), the art was kinda weird at the beginning (specially the faces) but fits the anime "oldening" it a bit and animation is fluid. Oh and CG Blends(!) into the background. Story is going good but i just hope they dont turn it into another war drama... Although i smell a "Venus Wars" turn, around the corner, i secretly hope they dont go all OMFG ITS WARR!!!! About the Ballet turn, it was graficaly impressive although i was expecting for a Wall-ride into a ballet turn. THe only problem is that i found it hardly possible by physics laws :p but who cares? |
| Fuego + Rin = psyche! Definitely want to see the national tournament now. Too bad the anime is only 12 episodes, already hoping for a season 2. XD |
 |
| This is easily shaping up to be one the best series I've seen in a while. If get slightly better then this I'll have to favorite it, otherwise I'm already in love with the series. And people clearly have no concept of good CG, this probably the best CG I've seen ina series, it's just Short of Movie quality, I dunno what people are expecting, this ain't a 80 million Hollywood production. |

| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| -HOLY SHIT- Haha, I actually said that out loud while watching Rin pull that last maneuver around the bend. Funny, in the first episode, I wasn't sure about this anime. "Ride Back," a vehicle that lets you ride on the back of a humanoid motorcycle. Just sounded really dumb at first. But holy crap, this might be one of the best shows this season. Very nice! |
 |
| I'm liking this a bit more, after getting to know the characters a little better and enjoying the race. Rin's hair is also becoming less annoying. Meh. |

Yeah, you better regret it! >P You mean that it's now Kashiwa Racing Green?!? When I saw her bike on the splash page, I Thought "Alright! a Kawa RideBack!" That was a very sweet epi. I'm going to love this series. |
 |
| Yeah this show is certainly one of my favorites early on in the winter season. The action has been exciting and I am interested in seeing how the story develops. From reading others comments I am a bit worried about the 12 episodes. I am afraid they will try to cover too much in this amount of time. Hopefully they pace themselves and save some material for a second season. :) |

| incredible awsome! I'm completly amazed with this series!! |
    |
| Awesome episode ! And I was wondering would I like this since it's mecha :'''D Nana Mizuki is the best seiyuu that Rin could have. And the racing parts were absolutely awesome ! ♥________♥ If this serie keep this up it can even get ten points or come one of my favoriteseries :0 |
     |
| Didn't fail my expectations of the 2nd episode; currently running as my favorite anime this season The whole army/rebellion plot is kinda thrown at you, but I'm sure it'll be a crucial element later on. |
 |
| very good episode background music is awesome <3 |
