lemmingllama Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I would propose that we begin something that can become a monthly thing, the Anime of the Month. Simply put, we will watch the anime throughout the month and then chat about it in a thread. As guidelines, the anime chosen will always be 26 episodes or less, and active users of the thread can pm me suggestions for the next month's anime. Also please try something that not everyone has seen before so the discussions arent biased. Now that we have that established, we can now begin with December 2011's anime, Rideback, as chosen by me! For those interested, TCL has encoded this from Blu-Ray.http://forums.kametsu.com/showthread.php?t=19276Type: TVEpisodes: 12Status: Finished AiringAired: Jan 11, 2009 to Mar 29, 2009Producers: Madhouse Studios, FUNimation EntertainmentLGenres: Action, Drama, Mecha, School, Sci-FiDuration: 24 min. per episodeRating: PG-13 - Teens 13 or older Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowtheman Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 It seems like a fun idea but you are going to have to post final results. As in why the anime was chosen. Are our choices limited to anime that has been uploaded to this site or not. It would probably be a good Idea to create two threads for this. A voter thread and a Anime of the month thread to keep things organized. If any thing else My choice for next months vote would be.Type:MovieRuntime:102 minutesAired:October 9, 2010Produced by:Madhouse - Takeshi KoikeGenre:Action, sci-fi, racing, post apocalyptic, robots, echi, mecha, and aliens. Rating:NR. Mild sci-fi violence and minor sexual innuendo. At a time when cars are finally being replaced by hover cars. The great race of yellow line has a huge fan base. How ever yellow line cannot compete with the illegal circuit known as Redline. Jp a racing vet has Redline in his sights but in order to win he must race against his sketchy past and a cast of unusual, robotic, mutant and alien competitors.Link_http://forums.kametsu.com/showthread.php?t=20480&highlight=redline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Anras Rune Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 interesting choice lemming. I enjoyed this series immensely due to its original storyline and the way it went about it. The art work was pretty damn impressive as well, very fluid motion and no jumpy action scenes. It flows....The storyline was very, very good. The whole ballet undertones was brilliant, but it was the flair of rebellion and skater-esque culture that hooked me. Not to mention the rideback designs are excellent...go Fuego!

I just started it but Im already enjoying it immensely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegend1994 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Just finished the first episode of this anime and it was amazing. The opening and closing were great and the songs were even more spectacular, as soon as I saw them I knew that this was going to be an amazing anime.I love the detail and effect of the video and the humanoid bikes look simply brilliant, they had so much detail and colour. I especially like the story so far, I can feel a bit of tragedy in there which always is good for me since I can get more emotionally attached.There are very few anime I have seen that I have liked this much just from watching the first episode. Anyone viewing this thread I highly recommend Rideback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exceed Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 This Anime is actually one of my Favourites, A Girl who looses her ability dance, finds a machine partner that will help her do that, (then they get married lol jokes).

lemmingllama Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Just finished up the anime, really superb. The soundtrack perfectly fits the show. Episode 4 was my favourite, when they are fitting the lighthearted tone of the beginning with the plot of the end. The animation of the ridebacks are also awesome. I highly reccomend this for others.As a side note, I was dissappointed in this anime a bit for a couple things. For one, they drew one of the characters, Shoko, like a man with hair horns strapped onto either side of her head. Also, her tooth bugged me.Now for discussion, was it really necessary for them to put the random lackey that tries to overthrow the Supreme Commander? I think it didnt really add anything to the anime and was just a plot piece that was added for the hell of it. Plus then instead of lackey shooting, it coulda been GoblinAnd remember to pm me for suggestions for next months, or else I get to pick it!

zoranzx Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Awesome anime just wandering is there a version of Kioku by Younha without the guy singing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyguysteve Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I have not heard of this anime yet, guess I'll have to check it out =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegend1994 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Just finished episode 3 and so far I love how sort of care free it is with Rin just getting used to the ridebacks and the new members getting settled in. With the scenes where the GGP officials are talking about the attacks and ridebacks I can tell it's going to get more serious soon. But for now I enjoy seeing Rin reliving her ballet days and participating in the race.Can't wait to see the next few episodes =). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmingllama Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 For next months anime could I request Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (1), heard some greats things about it and seen some even better pictures from it.No problemo. Just pm it to me next time, we dont want to clutter up the thread unless you also discuss the AotM. And my favourite rideback out of the bunch was the RB-Z, looked really awesome compared to most of the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegend1994 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Half way through it and it keeps getting better and better. With the addition of the white riders it's becoming even more interesting but I won't go into detail since I haven't finished this yet and want to give my full opinion once all is understood.One thing I will say is that damn this is a great anime and I can tell it hasn't gotten to the best bit just yet.

Just curious cause everyone says it's good.It's got quite a bit of action and the story is great. Not much action at the start but it builds up as the series progresses. If you like action you should try this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinesecaoboy Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I think Rideback is one of those anime that very few people noticed, but it's a superb one at that, wish more people gave it a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegend1994 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Finished the last episode about 4 hours ago and I just can't get it out of my head, in a good way. It was absolutely superb too bad it was only 12 episodes long I wanted the feeling to last longer.Response to lemmingllama discussion postYeah I know the whole way through this I was think who the hell is she anyway. Also it would of been good for Goblin to shoot the GGP commander, wanted someone to get their revenge at least, but he was saving Rin.Another thing I wanted to discussIs it just me or did the death of Suzuri hit really hard, I mean I didn't even see it coming then all of a sudden there's that silent scene showing the people's reactions, made me tear up.The thing with this is I feel that the ending was great, but somehow missing something.

And we all want to see what happens next. And to respond to your question. yeah her death did hit hard, I kinda expected it but still didnt think at first that it should have happened. Was sad...
