just didn't feel the adrenaline i felt on the first two eps. Rin going slow and then failing wasn't really enjoyable

But she was doing her best and it's not at all her fault she couldn't win - the Rideback was too weak for her.
(Well, it's not like I'm insisting everyone should like it - of course not, opinions differ.)

Not to mention it kills the momentum of the show for her to win this early.

That was magnificent and amazing! After I watched the next preview, it would have military moments. I'm looking forward to how this develops goes.

Rin was too good for her machine. I'm actually surprised that she didn't win. Well, I'm glad, because it would've been too stereotypical, and unless Rin is aiming for world championship or something, the series would've climaxed too early. Probably Rin winning this race is how the series will end.

I'm hoping she creates a new sport, RideBack ballet, I'd totally pay to see that in RL.

I really liked the episode. It's too bad that her bike broke down on the last minute. I am pretty sure that she would have won the race if her bike didn't break down.

It turns out that this series is one of my top choices this season. I would like to see her do the ballet dancing on a motorbike though.

Ohh too bad her brother didn't hear her name! Of course the headset is taken away just before the name is announced... *Rolls eyes*

I was really hoping, as well, that she would overcome the "snake brothers", but having her engine blow out since it couldn't keep up with her... Well, honestly I thought it was a nice touch - though I wouldn't have minded having it after she passed the finish line... I think it still would've gotten the point across that Balon isn't Fuego, and that it was the RideBack that couldn't keep up with her awesome riding skillz...

I really liked the race. :D If the war comes to the forefront of the anime, I hope riding RideBacks still has centre stage. The final scene with Rin on Fuego... Awesome. <3

I also think that Okakura is the war hero. After all, didn't one of the girls say before that he had an aura about him that seemed like he could take out a bear? I bet he has that aura because... he did take down a bear! No, just kidding. But I'm sure that he would have had to be really strong to be a soldier, no?

I still don't get what's up with those GDP or whatever guys. The war/terroism thing isn't so clear but that Okaura guy seems like he's part of it.

the reporters should have interviewed her, if her engine hadn't blown she would have placed for sure, and I'm sure that the fans would like to know more about who she is after that performance.

Balon couldn't handle Rin's awesomeness. Too bad Rin and Tamayo could have been 1-2 or 2-1 of the race.

Substandard vehicle and you get results like this.

Now if only Fuego was in the race...

The dub voices were so familiar that I went and researched them. A lot of them have done some of my favorite anime series so that adds a bit to this one. A nice episode with good racing and a touch of sub plot coming forth.

Rin didn't win, the Rideback was too weak for her. They're trying to add politics to this.

A bit disappointed when they skipped to animate the training story whether it does exist in the source or not.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Race was not that exciting but this episode foresees a promising upcoming content. I hope I am not miscalculating.
