| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I thought this first episode kicked off the series pretty well. The animation is beautiful, and the OP and ED were both awesome. As for the story... Definitely looks like a series worth continuing. |
| Beautiful first episode, and the OPs and EDs are awesome too. It came more than from what imagined and expected... A ballet dancer and very dynamic-moving robot... what a wonderful combination. |

| Best Anime of Jan 2009 ^^ |
| One word: Mizuki nana ftw! |
| I don't know what to say. I think: WOW that was realy cool I want more |
 |
| I thought this was a great first episode and from the 200+ animes I've seen it was also original, i hope this anime keeps it up, I'll definitely continue to watch this one. |
 |
| A nice start,this could turn out really good. |
 |
| This show looks promising it have a lot of potentials. |
 |
| loved it ! Madhouse is da best as always ^__^ |
| <img src="http://myanimelist.net/signature/Laenatar.png"; border="0" alt="Laenatar.png" /> |
| and i thought there would be no good anime this season, :) thankfully, there is ride back, lov it |
| Mizuki Nana as Ogata Rin in Ride Back and Ogata Rina in White Album :D first episode really good, for now best new series in this month |
| Looks pretty freaken awesome, can't wait for the next episode. I love the OP too |
| 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. |
| It was beautiful. Everything. Must... Watch... More! (oh yeah... 2 Ogata Rins this season... One here and one in white album... Well the other one is a rina, coincidence!? I think not! Muahaha!) Not that it makes a difference. Next episode looks good though... Probably a more detailed explanation on the Ride Backs. |
| That was a bit weird but not boring at all, quite entertaining actually. Could be decent if it continues like this. Nice MELL OP too. |

| how bout that ending. the show was pretty good. it should prove to be interesting. its only 12 eps long though so i am not sure how deep they will go with it. |
| that was just pure awesome. definitely my favorite of the new season so far. |
 |
| The first half was rather slow for my taste, but the 2nd one sure was great! Looking forward to more ^^ |
| Really nice ! Animation style is interesting to watch and characters are also interesting. I like the opening and it's (also) interesting when the main character likes balet ! |
     |
| I didn't plan to watch this, but I've read some nice things about it so I gave it a try. The concept is really great, but the choppy background story takes a bit away (GGP taking over the world on a rainy monday afternoon..yeah, I do that all the time, too). However the best part is probably the atmosphere with the really nice graphics. You actually feel like the rideback's dancin'. Looking forward to some more (although she's probably good as dead as soon as she hits the ground, lol) SirMuffin said: I had a good laugh about it toooh yeah... 2 Ogata Rins this season...

Muahaha! cyruz said: That explains how come it's english and yet you can only understand fragments.Nice MELL OP too. |
| not bad at all. Definatly going to watch ep2 too |
| ~five exclamation marks is the sure sign of an insane mind~ |
| looks like this will be one of the few good anime this season |
| Her ballerina view on the machine's movements was a very nice touch, I wish I could find the manga somewhere. I was a bit disappointed when I heard the ridebacks were being done on 3D CG, but it would probably be a necessary thing to do in order to fit any 12ep series budget, and the model, texturing and animation quality were very high, and the interaction with the 2D was very nice and seamless, I'm not a fan of that style of lighting, though, specially Fuego's wheels that were too glassy, they didn't look like rubber at all. As for the story, I'm looking forward to see how the "new militaristic world order" backstory will affect the main characters, because so far it was only presented as something completely isolated and irrelevant, but it should start to come clear by episode 2. I feel that this series will be one that will disappoint me for being too short |

| This kind of took me by surprise. Terrible integration of animated cgi, imbalanced art design, bad op, but good cinematography, good voice acting, great energy, and wonderful pacing. Much better than the sum of it's parts. I'm very intrigued. |
| That made me very happy. By far my favorite of the new season. |

However! The Rideback anime is set for January now and that'll be my next fansub project and it's also invigorated me to truck on with the manga. |

| This first episode was so AWESOME! Can't wait for the next episode. If this continues, this looks to be one of the best new series of the season =D |
   |
| Pretty entertaining for sure. Totally not your typical anime, which is very good. The animation is nice. Yeah, like others said, it looks like it has potential. Hope the future episode are as good, or even better. |
 |
| The first episode was interesting and I am looking forward to more. I didn't really consider this title when looking over the allotment of shows this season but it could prove to be a very pleasant surprise if it keeps up like the first episode. |

| Wow, this sure wasn't what I expected it to be. At the start I was wondering why I even starting this, but I already found myself smiling before I knew it, when she started driving that Ride Back. I'm glad I didn't quit too soon, as this one and White Album seem to be the most promising series for this season in my opinion. x) |
| I have to start off saying that this was the anime I looked foward to the most this season, and I had high hopes, based off the story and preview animation. Not to sound cliche, but i was satisfied with the first episode, and it lived to my original expectation. The beginning started out slow, but once the "Fuego" was introduced, it got pretty interesting. I especially like the animation style, the flat color choice works well. Too bad only 12 episodes...but I bet they'll be pretty awesome. |
 |
| This first episode definitely caught my attention and left me wanting more. I like the animation and the story is a nice change from all the other new animes I've seen so far for jan '09. 12 eps does seem way too short for sure. |
| that was awsome! wasn't expecting at all. and the animation was beautiful |
    |
| looks decent and its only 12 episodes move to list of ongoings to watch ^^ |
| Great first episode, as I hoped this show looks like it will be a great ride. Can't wait for more~ |

| I'm mixed, not quite sure where the show is going right now |
| My reaction: So far, ratings have been very good. I believe Paku Romi is voicing a main character (who is a girl for once. :D). Animation is excellent. Concept is excellent (and is akin to an original work I have started), I actually think the world take over was a nice big picture element to throw in there provided they throw the main characters into the midst of it to some degree. Looks like it's going to be a possible ownage anime. |

| I think the integration between 3D and 2D is a bit much, but I still enjoy this episode. I also loved the animation, but some of the character designs fail. |: |
| Win written all over it. |
 |
| Animation is great, same as colours and detailed graphic. And look like we will get quite serious story. Hope so, i have enough of shounens. |
 |
| Very interesting, another show to pick up, busy year taking off. Can't wait to see more |
 MAL list updates |
| i'm not sure about this anime so far. great animation, although the integration between the 2D and the 3D is a bit awkward. I'm not so thrilled about the story line... I guess I'll just watch the next episode to see if i'll keep it or not. i probably will just to see the animation. this anime season kinda sucks... |
