It's was not the best anime out there.... but it's great.

RideBack talks about a story of a girl riding motorbike-robots called RideBacks... at first it was like a sports anime but it turns out to be unexpected.

The story was very well made and it captivate me in just 2 episodes.... the story of the main character was great (Not AWESOME) and it was definitely a good try for those who like solid storyline.

The dialogue was very well made as well.... there's no shounen-ish crap but bitch crapping was unavoidable..... there one character there that's quite annoying....

Comes down to animation. For those anime fans such as K-On or Kore Wa Zombie lover... sad to say there's no moe moe stuff in this anime. The artwork was more mature compare to the recent released anime and guess what, there's CG inside this anime. The quality of CG was superb... other than Macross Frontier, this anime's CG was gorgeous as well. Action and motion were made very well and detailed.

This is definitely entertaining for me. So i recommend this to the anime fans that is REALLY love great story-based anime and maybe some moe haters. This is undoubtedly one hell of an UNDERRATED anime. (show less)

This was a rather interesting show. Only because how the story unfolded was extremely unexpected! It totally caught me off guard and got me really hooked to the show! Although when i decided to watch this anime i knew nothing about the story neither did i read the synopsis about it. Which I think is probably the best way to go about this anime. The dialogue in on key and the characters talk in a more mature manner, which i really enjoyed. The animation is real good, which is no wonder seeing its done by Madhouse. The story does get pretty sad there toward the end there, so just a little heads up :) All in all Rideback is a very good series, with a really intense plot and how it unravels. (show less)

Ride back starts off with Rin Ogata who no longer dances Ballet because of an injury entering college. There she is introduced to 'Ride Backs' which are basically motorcycles with arms. Rin Ogata gets on one and it goes out of control. She then she realizes she has talent for riding and spends the rest of the series figuring out why she is drawn so much to the Ride Backs and her feelings about it and quitting ballet. That’s the first few episodes are good, then it becomes an anime about the political struggle being the GGP and the 'terrorist' group trying to shut them down ending in a huge battle that ends quickly and it was somewhat disappointing. The fighting was cool but it ended somewhat anticlimactic. Even the last scene was very short and left a sour taste in my mouth as there is no real closure with Rin Ogata.
This anime was good, but not great. If it was more about the ride backs and less about the political war then it would have been really good. (show less)
