Koby Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Last series I finished was Rideback. Gave it an 8/10. It was actually a lot different than what you'd think based on the description and artwork. Turned out fairly nice, but it just had too much going for it. If this would have had the time to really pace itself better I'd have enjoyed it a lot more. I say it could have easily been a 22 to 26 episode series, but they crammed it down to 12. Would love to see a movie or ova come out later to show another race and the outcome between the blond chick and the main character. That was my favorite part in the beginning.

That was my favorite part in the beginning.Yeah it was pretty much a 25 episode series crammed into 12 episodes, it felt like the whole story was rushed and it felt like there were unexplained bits here and there especially the last 2 episodes. If Tamayo & Rin did face off again I'm pretty sure that Rin would win it she had the technique from the very start, but it would be fun to watch.

gundam205 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I saw this on netflix a couple of months back and thought it wasn't interesting, but I was desperate to watch something and I have to say, it's spectacular. The storyline hooked me on quick and the ending just made me gasp how good it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, more racing would definately be nice to see, plus a tricks course would be really impressive thing to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumRoll Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I will definately give this a watch.Also, we can't have Redline as AotM because they only thing to say about it is: EPIC. END DISCUSSION.Also I think this a great idea and will hopefully hely to articulate the kametsu community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saifudeen Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 i proffer animes that allow a character's personality to grow rather than jamming a bunch of storyline in the first episode. Progression is sometimes the key to a lasting series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmingllama Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Question: sub or dub? I personally enjoyed the sub voices more, but that was mainly since it wasnt a huge action type thing. And for those who want to vote for AotM #2, please pm or visitor message me asap, since only a couple votes have come in and I may just end up choosing another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegend1994 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I preferred the dub because although the sub voices were actually better I find that if I read the subtitles I miss small details every now and again from the story or scenery. Plus sometimes I can't keep up with reading the subs and have to rewind which spoils the effect of the anime a little for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it via TheChaosLegion 720p dual-audio encodes which has the English Dub set on default. It was really good and I was able to watch it so I didn't bother checking out the other audio. I even ended up buying the Blu-ray from RightStuf on their 12 days of Christmas sale for $25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
