Beautiful opening scene and that OP song is pretty catchy imo.

Everything seemed to progressed a bit fast but overall, was still an enjoyable for this pilot episode. I want to jump and ride that Rideback tbh.

The animation is lovely. I think I'll stick with this one and see how it progresses.

Very impressive art and animation.
Love the reflections on the motorcycle in the OP.
The ED song was great.

The only thing I don't is the character designs, especially her friend with one of the worst hairstyles ever.

That was really interesting. I want to ride on rideback too :D!

What's up with Rin's bed hair though?

Ballet combined with mecha-motor-cycles... ya don't see that every day.

Was an OK first episode. Not great, but not bad either.

(rewatching) My BDs finally hit the top of my watch queue.

I forgot how exciting the first episode actually is. The setup/introductions aren't boring either. The anime keeps a good pace. First rate visuals too.

Rewatching this anime after many years. Brings back distant memories... People should watch shows like these more than they actually do...

Great first episode. Rin handled that rideback like a pro.

Wow....this was such an awesome first ep! I really enjoyed it. It had a great mix of melancholy sadness/happiness alongside superb action sequences. Can't wait to see more!

The first episode is already better than Munto TV from the same season. I'm watching the Blu-Ray version and the animation is amazing. I read this anime is rushed but its better if I judge it myself.

Really interesting first episode, I love that motorbike x mecha mix especially with the body movements synchronization (and also that english opening is lit)

This is a pretty interesting and intriguing story. Rin Ogata is pretty brave.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Found this anime a while ago by submitting random images to a Discord bot that tries to recognize images you send and figure out what anime it comes from and eventually found this and got kinda interested in it.

Started it today, so far it's pretty good, some parts weren't visually too interesting and some there were some awkward parts, but still a pretty decent start.

Rin is elated for someone currently about to plunge down to the ground from a gnarly height. Hope those Ridebacks have some advanced shock absorbers.
