It's Miku!
Finally got around to watching anime again after working on the site for a day and a half, then taking a nice long nap. I just took a quick look at Rideback and I’m not really sure what it’s supposed to be about. The story is supposedly set in the near future where the world has been taken over by some terrorist group and is orderly because everyone is scared of the guys with the guns. Some random girl (I didn’t even bother paying attention to her name, I think it was Ogata something) who was really good at ballet injured herself and quit because she didn’t feel like doing ballet anymore. She started going to college and stumbled across a strange bike with arms that also can transform into a humanoid kind of shape. She rode it because of some kind of wierd accident and she liked it. Episode one end.
I really don’t know what the show is supposed to be about! The main character woman keeps saying something like “the world is changing”. This and the summary on wikipedia which says more stuff about terrorists and oppression make me think that she’s suddenly going to take her new mecha and start to perform armed interventions around the world. The feel of the show kind of reminds me of Over Drive though, how the main character just finds something they really like, so I’m also under the impression that she might join some kind of bike-with-arms racing contest.
