| Nice, it turned out better than I expected it to be. Hope they will keep up the quality for the rest of the series. I lol when Rin was totally lost as Haruki was instructing her on how to control the Ride Back, even though he said anyone could ride it with little effort. It's good to see a series that doesn't involve high school life for a change... |
    |
| Loved this first episode, hopefully the rest will be as good. |
| yea this show really kickass but the op feels like kamen rider lolx |
 |
| Really nice! ...adding to my currently watching list :D |
 |
| just watched it. I'm in total aww...maybe the best of 2009. |
 |
| Hey that was really nice. I didn't expect that. I normally don't like CG but nevertheless it was okay. The animation itself looks great. |
| Wasn't a bad watch, not much for CG myself but it wasn't really "in your face CG" either. Kinda curious what happens later. I'm really hoping she doesn't decide to make some sort of "dance club" using the machines -_-. If there's some sort of conflict between the RideBack and the government, it just may be a good watch. |
 |
| Bad OP and ED but overall good start for the series. At first I wasn't sure how I was gonna like the bike design with the hands sticking out but by the end it kind of grew on me. Can't wait to see what the major plot of the story is. It cant just be about her dancing on a RideBack lol....at least I hope not. |

CMB17 said: WOW, that was great and I loved the slow build up to the thrilling end. ^_^ totally agree. this'll probably be the one of the series in 2009 im gonna wait late into the night for cause of pure awesomeness Gaia said: Wasn't a bad watch, not much for CG myself but it wasn't really "in your face CG" either. agreed, dont like series with that "in your face" (lol) CG (for example Linebarrels, which for the record is an awesome series) but in RideBack it wasn't that painfully obvious =) |

| CG was ok but not horrible I will probably get used to it. How in god's name did GGR takeover the world with these things? I understand suspense your disbelief but they better have some sort of logical reason like leaders in many countries agreed to establish GGR to takeover the world because no way on earth could a brand new rebel group just demolish large militaries like the US, China, or Russia. |

| I'll wait as I am expecting there to some reason however what they showed with GGP( I think I misspelled it earlier) using earlier versions of Ride Backs to forcefully take over the countries does not make any sense as one solid RPG could take it out. Otherwise pretty much everything else( I personally don't like the character designs and wow that Ride Back group has some crappy security) was very good. |

| Char design was quite different then that we used to but i don't see it as failure. Its proper (no mistakes like in Akikan) but simply no moe/loli/whatever included. And its good from time to time see some different char des (eg. Real Drive). I try to not think too hard about GGP cos i'm afraid it wont make sense after first ep. Better wait to see how it will be served in anime - maybe they will make it rationally. |

The CG did stand out just a bit, but I've seen much worse. Also, everything else about this episode was more than enough to allow me to overlook the CG. Definitely one of the most promising newly airing shows that I've seen so far. And I have big gun. |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| Pretty bad ass start, but I wonder how she is doing this lol. Guess they had problems with the cg overlapping. |

| This was ....strange...and for some unknown reason I really liked it... I really hope it will continue being this good... p.s. I really don't know what I liked about it... |
WTFwasThat said: Guess they had problems with the cg overlapping. Point for you, i have not noticed. |
|
| Glad I checked this one out, I really liked it. Loved the animation and the mood of the whole ep. It's definately one of the best ep 1's this season. |
| MELL for the OP, Mizuki Nana as the lead female who is actually interesting... nice 8D but what's up with her hair? It always looks messy xD; |
  |
| I definitely liked the plot and the main character (though why almost every main character in anime is an orphan???). I also liked her roommate and the guy who gave Rin Fuego. The graphics is not to my taste though. But I had a lotof fun watching the 1st episode, looking forward to the next one =) |

| I wasn't going to watch it, yet I did. It seems to be pretty good actually. Or I guess... It would be better if it focuses more on the Rideback.. A pretty neat motorcycle that reminds me of those Paladins in Blassreiter. It is generally a motorcycle that is capable of transforming into a robot, but in this case.. There seems to be 3 modes like the Valkyries of the Macross series. Only difference is that it isn't equipped with weapons, though there are others that were utilized in the war. Pretty neat! |
 |
| This started out even better than Kurokami. Just wow with the animation and Rin/Nana. Kinda reminded me a bit of Belldandy. |
 |
| This anime gets props from me for: • Variance on a Mussorgsky theme from Pictures at an Exhibition • Soldiers holding XM8s, the best (real-life!) assault rifles ever almost made • A motorcycle that, although it can transform into a minimecha, actually has real motorcycle controls • Totally awesome action sequences This anime fails for: • Lame choreography during the opening sequence... • Ugly faces ... but I'll get over it. I didn't have high hopes for this series, but it's definitely worth watching. |

| For some reason, I totally can imagine myself flying like she did & feel the way she felt (nope i'm no dancer..two left feet)...love that feeling of controlling a machine well.. wonderful feeling like racing...of coz not just any ordinary vehicle..but one with AI.. wow! |
 |
| G.G.P. = jiji pee?! o.O old guys peeing on people have conquered the world.... anyhow, I really did like the the ride sequence and I think this series has promise. I'll keep watching in the hopes the production values will stay high, and hopefully the dancing mechs theme doesn't get cheesy. I gave up on Blassreiter because the unrealistic cg motion really clashed with the animation.... some points of this pilot reaked of that, but I feel this series has slightly more attention to detail. |
 I am a banana. |
| There's efinitely something in this series. A good mix of mecha/action and dance for now (feels strange to write it, but that's exactly what it is !). I don't like the characters so much for now, and even less the character design, but it's still a very surprising series. Looking forward to the rebellion part since it's heading this way ;) |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Not bad, but it would be much better without the dumb-looking motorcycle mechs. |
| Cool episode, but it feeled a litttle short The opening was awesome as well as the animation style. Ok,with this first episode, I dont really know what kind of story awaits me... Cant wait for the next episode. |

| Character and RideBack designs aren't the best (Rin, BRUSH YOUR HAIRRRRR argh those bits sticking out are so annoying) but I'll probably continue with it for now. Hopefully it gets a little better. |

| Sweet. |
| POTENTIAL written all over this show. Smooth animation, interesting premise.. but i seriously lol'ed at "spread legs form" on the rideback's control panel in the op sequence ^^ |
 |
| It was pure awesome! This series definitely is my favorite season so far. The animation was so beautiful, and the pacing was wonderful so far. Hopefully, these ones will continue until the end. |
| at first i thought the character designs sucked but the rideback's movements are amazing. i was in awe. |
 |
| I wasn't expecting much from this series (mainly because of all the ballet stuff) but it turned out to be pretty good. The character designs don't appeal me, but I'm sure that'll pass. |
| Nice twist. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| The ballet stuff made me think it was boring. Oh, how wrong I was. This feels like a more mature version of Air Gear. Looking forward to what happens next. |
| Hmm, so far so good. |
 |
| VERY promising. I've got the feeling that RideBack its gonna save the -terrible- seaon for me. |
 |
| Pretty good for the first ep. Nice animation, a lot of speed and action :D |
| No sig :( |
| The first part of the episode was good - for introducing the main character, I see. The second half was AWESOME. This series definitely looks worthy of a watch. The animation was spectacular and... I dunno. It just seems very promising overall. The bit where she was riding around on the RideBack was definitely the highlight of the episode for me. :D |
| This one is really impressive so far, animes like this don't come around everyday. The animation/art style is very good, as is the story. Can't wait to see more! |
| I wanted to watch something like this for ages since I love motorbikes and stuff like that. I want a Rideback! |
| great first episode. I'm pretty sure the series will go down hill rapidly when all the political nonsense starts, but until then it should be a lot of fun :) |
