| This series continues to a lot of fun and surprisingly better than it ought to be. One does need to keep up a very high level of suspension-of-disbelief, but when you do it is well worth it. The thought that kept on going through my head during the episode was: Who would have thought that some panty flashing could save a life or two? LOL |
| Man, that was some awesome episode, really exciting! |

| holy sh!t, best episode so far, everything was perfect on this episode, the plot , the action, the music. Rin is in some deep sh!t right now, since ggp thinks she is a terrorist, lets see how next episode unfolds ( waiting anxiously for next Sunday to grab the raw :D) edit: nice backflip btw |

| Does the man standing in the helicopter (ep 1) somehow remembles キ一ファ ( Kiifa )? ( the one who were riding the gray RideBack ) or is it just my imagination?! edit: I think it's just my imagination Kiifa's hair are white ... -_- ( blurted some nonsense again) |

| Frustrated raw watching tentatives... Veredict: Failure... too much talking / getting little of the story... |
| Some parts doesn't make sense, just thought that the normal racing storyline before this was good enough. |
| really good ep, but i want subs.......... |
 |
| "Fansubbing Taken Seriously" just subbed this. lulz. I'll be back to let you know how this experience goes in a bit. As far as I could tell, it was fine. I don't normally have the best eye for that sort of thing though, so who knows. Anyway, Rin is pretty well caught up in the middle of this now, a suspected fleeing terrorist especially after jumping off of a bridge, as an RPG was launched at a helicopter. That's a great way to attract some attention. Some creepy dude with silver hair too. What's this with Rin being 'chosen'? And does it have anything to do with the 'Linked' mode her watch showed us a few times this episode? Looks like we're finally into some srsbznz with RideBack, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I wasn't expecting the whole "war" side of this to be nearly as captivating as it was. I'm just curious to find out where the club comes into this conflict, I've been getting eerie vibes from Okakura for a while, not to mention Tamayo's family. I guess that'll be revealed shortly though. |

| This thing just keeps getting better. I hope that things don't get too rushed, considering it is only going to be 12 eps. Subs for ep 5 better not take so long :x |
| so its shoot fist, ask questions later eh? well the moment she broke through the blockade she branded herself a terrorist. somehow i think the whole thing was planned. although that's just a guess. now people with ridebacks will be suspected as terrorists now. especially red ones. |
| Another excellent episode. This time she was jumping around all over the place and really showing off some skill with handling Fuego. I want to know who that guy was who knew about Fuego and going on about being chosen. The story's getting interesting. I wonder if we'll get to see any more racing after this. |

| "Hello! Guy who makes the medals for best anime evar? Get me the one who makes the trophies!" God it took forever to get subbed. I was starting to loose hope. Ok so the story is moving forward and even if a bit odd and ridiculous sometimes, the heart-pounding adrenalin-filled atmosphere is back and it's stronger than ever! I just love this show! |
| Aww, Rin is so beautiful ;;_______;; ♥ She is my favorite ! This episode was nice, little action and Fuego is so nice ! And terrorists... nice turn of events \o |

Sassle said: Could I get a link to the subbed? thanks Sassle Well, on www.animeseason.com is episode 4 subbed :3 |
|
| Great episode, I really didn't expect it to turn out like this....but I'm glad that it's become more serious and not only about the races and stuff. |
| uwaah, excellent, good action, nice riding/jumping Great episode and what's more to come soon ?! Looks like Fuego choose Rin as her driver and now they will do more sorts of amazing stuff... (with the white-haired fellow? or Okakura?) |

| It was awesome! More and more interesting! Shouko was being brave hiding with a cell and even trying to make a call. Rin is really brave. I only wonder who asked her about a jump before the rocket aimed at Fuego. They can calculate Rin anyway because there are not many excellent Rideback riders (sort of battology sorry), and Ogata Rin participated in that race in the previous episode. |

| I wasn't planning to visit this thread because of the spoilers. However, it looks like this episode will be another smashing hit for the series. I can't wait to watch it. |
     |
| Me: "Hey RideBack, what the hell are you doing?" RB: "Oh, just being awesome." Me: "Ah. Well then, carry on." |
| It was kinda ridiculous when Rin saved that girl and fled, but it was awesome! |
 |
| Err wtf. Why in god's name didn't she just stop at the final roadblock and just explain the situation instead of being risked shot at by like thirty soldiers(who all have Stormtrooper aim apparently) and now is branded a terrorist(who would be pretty easy to find as she has a rare Rideback and they got a good look at her and her passenger). The terrorist leader also fits the part dead-on. I mentioned earlier that the political side would be the weakest part of the show and it is. |

| Another really exciting episode. I don't really know how this manages to captivate me with some really generic things, but this show has such an awesome energy that I'm sucked in. I will say that the white haired guy telling Rin "You're chosen" was a little too cheesey for my taste. But still, ridiculously good. |
| Didn't like it. Rin crossing police lines to go play hero was retarded, and she definitely should have been shot. She put all of the hostage's lives in even more danger by being stupid. And then she blows up a helicopter. Great. Also, lol at the police and the terrorists for sucking at aiming. I get the feeling that Rin is going to join up with the terrorists to overthrow Mr. Obviously-Evil-Military-Dictator. To top it off, apparently Rin is the "chosen one" and her rideback gives her super powers. Lame. I had a feeling this show was going to go downhill once we got to the military section. |
| Loved the part where she does a backflip over the blockade; they must have been like, "Whaaat?" Jarmel said: Why in god's name didn't she just stop at the final roadblock and just explain the situation instead of being risked shot at by like thirty soldiers I think she had already made her decision when she got on Fuego. She doesn't really need to explain anything to the soldiers; I mean, they already know the situation. It seems that she just trusts herself more than the authorities which is slightly justified considering the higher ups seem pretty shady. I guess the decision she made isn't one most people would agree on, but it seems like something she'd do. naikou said: And then she blows up a helicopter. Not sure if I missed something, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't her... |

Well, it was an accident, but she dodged the missile on the perfect trajectory to destroy the helicopter. It's bad luck, but she shouldn't have been there in the first place. |

From what I gathered, the white haired dude in the drainage underpass somehow says to her "jump" (probably because they're both "linked" to their Ridebacks) as he launched a missile at the helicopter. The missile was never intended to hit her. |

The missile was never intended to hit her. I thought that it was her "inner voice" or her rideback or something telling her to jump, and that the army was trying to shoot her with a missile. Your explanation seems more likely, though. However... that opens up an entirely different can of worms. Telepathy via fancy motorcycle with arms, huh. It's going to take some explaining to get me to buy that one. |

She's mature in the other 3 eps and then acts like a kid without understanding of the world. Wtf |
| What the fuck just happened. Really. I kept asking myself why they didn't just stop and surrender and after Shouko asked Rin that, I wandered where this episode was going to go (would Shouko be shot? Killed?). But yeah, HELLO MISTER LEADER OF TERRORISTS WHO IS HOT. I know your voice but can't place it. D: I was also tossing up between who told Rin to jump: Terrorist!guy, or Fuego? Hmm. It's cheesey and wtfworthy but still watchable. |
naikou said: Telepathy via fancy motorcycle with arms, huh. It's going to take some explaining to get me to buy that one. Well, no. If it was terrorist!guy (and not ~Fuego~) it was most likely him patching into the speakers in her headgear/watch thingy or something. (Like how in previous episodes Rin and the blonde chick talked during the race.) Not exactly paranormal. |

| Impressive episode. Guess Rin won't be able to ride her feugo in public for awhile. |
    |
| Quite lame but still exciting. I was hoping RB wont hit typical plots but it seems i will have to deal with it somehow (rb and Rin are worth it). Still good, unfortunately no longer great. |
 |
| Well, I was really excited about that anime from the start, but with this episode it kind of went downhill. Don't get me wrong it's still way better then most other anime shows out there, but I don't really like the new direction. I mean this was kind of totally unrealistic and stupid. I didn't buy that! Don't think it fits her character to do something stupid like driving into a building where hostages are kept by armed terrorists. This is no super hero anime. Moreover the whole GGP chasing after a girl in a white dress on a bike and shooting at her like crazy. Then the mysterious pretty cool terrorist guy appeared and helped her, while she might end up with him against the "evil?" GGP. I know it's anime but I had hoped for something different this time. Anyhow this really crushed my love for this show a bit. That said the episode was very nice nevertheless. |
   |
| Awesome and ridiculous at the same time, action packed and emotional, beautiful and nasty. All in all, an excellent show. If the GGP isn't able to track down Rin with the information they have (red RideBack, type Fuego L, with a girl riding it), they suck. How many matches can there be? |
kuroshiroi said: If the GGP isn't able to track down Rin with the information they have (red RideBack, type Fuego L, with a girl riding it), they suck. How many matches can there be? Haha, just what I was thinking. Nevertheless I find this episode awesome. |
| I am amazed on how she was able to withstand those gunfire and everything. She even managed to save her best friend on the hands of the terrorists. Pretty cool for a lead female character and her driving skills drive me nuts! I can't wait for the next episode. |
|
kuroshiroi said: I usually don't suggest something like this when there's a manga to an anime series, but this is a rare exception. Though they're different story lines, but the manga does provide a few details the anime has not yet. I'd recommend looking for the scanlation of the first volume.... If the GGP isn't able to track down Rin with the information they have (red RideBack, type Fuego L, with a girl riding it), they suck. How many matches can there be? Though it's more hinted at in the anime than the manga, Tamayo has... connections... and maybe influence... |
    |
| Nice job Rin, you're now a terrorist. She was pretty damn stupid enough to even attempt a rescue. She should've just plainly stepped off at the last blockade but instead she goes "lolz zomg i wunt 2 b linkz 2 da fuego" and runs away when Mr. RPG-man shoots the chopper. |

And neither she or Shoko receive even a scratch. Yeah, sure. Rin's behaivor = very stupid So what good is left in this anime? Only the graphics. And they stay great, pure eye-candy. |
| What the fuck has happened to my Rideback. |

| Rin's alone against a whole army, but hey, she's got a helmet so nothing can happen to her right? :p Pretty extravagant episode but the action was great and animation was superb as always. Very metal-gearlesque, so I love it. 8) The plot seems to be moving on too, it's gonna be less 'slice of life' from now on I guess. |
