Since I had the day off today, I did some browsing and catching up on my viewing list. Didn’t really get caught up on my list though because I stumbled on a series that I was not aware of, Ride Back. I don’t know how it slipped past my radar but I thought it was pretty good for action and story. This series started airing on January 11, 2009 and is 12 episodes long.
The story is about a ballerina who suffers an injury during a performance. She soon discovers a new passion, Ride Back. A Ride Back is a combination motorcycle and robot that allows its rider to perform some pretty radical riding stunts. Being a former ballerina, the main character, Rin, adapts to the Ride Back better than expected by those in the school club.
She eventually becomes entangled in issues between the government anti-terrorist group and a terrorist cell opposed to the new government by simply rescuing her friend from a hostage situation. From then on she is perused by both sides as a terrorist and as one with great Ride Back skill.
