Rideback - for all you anime fans out there ^_^

[AweOfShe]

Anyone seen or heard of this?

So..... this better not be a repost haha.
I've searched and nothing so yeah.

There is an anime series set in the future called "rideback" about a girl who races motorcycles. A former ballerina who uses her stage skills to explore the limits of control on a futuristic bionic motorcycle thing? Sounds like my kind of party ^_^ Just wanted to share! Anyone know of any other noteworthy motorcycle racing anime / manga around?

The show is fairly new but they are on Youtube with new ones being added every week as they come out.
Here is the first episode (they are broken up into threes). They start racing soon after!

Freaky...

I've seen the first two eps and now I want DVDs.

The freaky thing is just two days ago I was prompted by the electric moto threads to start wondering what it would be like to have a bike with both wheels powered and steerable.

its worth taking a look haha

I wish they would make a motogp series.. kinda like Capeta style watching riders go from rooks to pros that would be sick..

 

[MackeyStingray]

the closest anime i've seen that's semi-GP/race related is Blassreiter. even then it wasn't really but it did have some bikes.

Active aero bodywork FTW with Blassreiter. haha. The whole time, I was thinking how cool it would be to have that technology in real life.
