Summary: {From MAL} Ride Back is about a girl who is the daughter of a famous dancer. During one of her performances she falls and then quits her dancing career. Some time later when she joins the Theatrical Academy, she finds out about a Ride Back club and then rides the bike to waste some time because of the very rainy weather outside. But something is wrong with the bike and she loses control. While trying to stop she finds out that the bike responds to her movements. She is able to sort of dance with the bike and gets inspired by it.
Thoughts: I was reluctant to try this show, Thinking it was just going to be about an ex-ballet dancer who finds a new hobby in motorcycle racing while strange political crap is happening in the background. The first few episodes met this assumption head on but then came episode four.... Rin uses Fuego to save her best friend from a Terrorist attack/hostage situation/crazy militant action at the mall.
This turns the idea of a racing show into a chaotic government, terrorist crazy show. That wasn't the greatest explanation but, The end has me wondering if I would have liked it more if it had stayed a racing show with some government battling in the background...
The End: It's a happy ever after type end, Other then the chick that got killed by the military when they thought she was Rin..... The terrorist leader kills his ex-buddy currently crazy military leader and then vanishes off into the day {So, I didn't notice if he died or ran off}, Rin's brother is no longer being charged with murder and everyone seems... happy.
