Rideback 10 -- casualty !
0
Decided to kinda skip ep 9. It was good and all but pales in comparison with 10 and was mostly set-up.
Noteworthy stuff form 9 (hardly spoilers IMO) :
- Rin being captivated by the scenery of a burning forest. Maybe she was into flames all along ? I mean Fuego = flame right ?
- Girl-only fishing trip
- Tamato discovering her preference in older men
- Rin rejecting Fuego and throwing away the watch-thing. Yeah as if that'll last...
On to 10 !!
- The anti-GGP demonstration takes place and most of our gang participates. Rin is also on her way with Tamayo.
- the BMA is preparing to make it's move. With the help of Okakura they find a flaw in the enemy's defenses and intend to exploit it.
- Karenbak's hot ass assistant (is there a name that comes with that body ?) reveals a bit of her motives. In short - 'my boss is history and new times are approaching. Would someone kindly waste him so others might claim power ?'. I so do loooove ambitious women.
- and now for the hammer ...
...
Wooot ! As if Rin didn't have enough motivation to ballet-foo GGP out of existence already. An emo stage is portably approaching but judging from the number of eps left it's gonna be halla short. Afterwards that smexy butt of hers will definitely get reunited with Fuego for some major (less-smexy) butt kicking. And since Karenbak seems to have something even better than the Shiro Rides in the making this is shaping up to be an even more exciting perspective.
There was also some buildup on Kiefers side. As expected - his main goal is to claim Karenbak's head and the ends will probably justify the means.
Personally I'm a bit scared about Rin's development. She's interesting and all but we're getting some obvious hint that the series might end with her resuming ballet and since she's still at the 'fighting addiction' stage, a ton of things needs to be stuffed into 3 eps. Heck - she just gained a reason to hate Ridebacks altogether... I do hope they won't sacrifice a shred of gorgeous action for it. One of the main reasons people watch this, ain't it ?

Yeah, great episode. I agree about the hot assistant.
Mmm, nothing further to add really. Except maybe that this deserved more episodes.

Look, there's even something going on between Tamayo and Okakura which I've failed to realize sooner.
(ROMANCE WILL NEVER DIE!) - it only lives on forever. A series without any form of romance in it sucks hard!
And Kiefer has only but Romanov in his sights. (he didn't necessarily murder the enemy that time) and as he claimed in the following episode.
The thing that Okakura was working on in that particular scene (ep10) made me recall about "packet tracer" for some reason. :roll:
(ep10)
Seriously, I don't know if I'm going to laugh or cry about it but more than anything else, I was vexed by the events that led to it. I knew that one had to fade out of the picture (sooner or later) but I never expected it to be Suzuri, of all people. Damn! yet in the end, I did get a moment of laughter out of it, considering that it was only her. I really felt awful at first but that's the way the story goes. :roll: They even paid tribute to her passing instead of a normal preview...
Despite all the drama, the world shall continue to revolve; and on the other side of things...
I so despise women with such a "delusion of grandeur" like ambitions! She could only be that confident if not for something/someone powerful and influential backing her up from the shadows. Surely, I doubt that she's in it alone. * Hey Romanov! Don't just idly sit there! Show that bitch who's BOSS! She seriously needs to learn her place - the hard way! :x
I'd have to agree though that she's (undeniably) Smokin' HOT! :D
With what I've seen so far, and most importantly Rin having such a feeling of regret, in regards to the string of unfortunate events she had to deal with (ever since learning about RideBacks)... I can't see anything conclusive if the series is indeed to end in just a couple of episodes more. A second season is highly probable, if ever. (I sure do hope so)
I'm certain that ALL of US enjoying this series feels the same way about it.
HOW ABOUT WE ORGANIZE A RALLY OR A PROTEST TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER SEASON TO THIS AWESOME SERIES!? (but we'll need a escape goat in case of the worst) - Who's willing to volunteer and become a HERO? :lol:
Don't be, I tell you; Have faith. I can't be certain about anything at this point myself but heck, this series is about "RIDEBACK" not ballet, and nothing else besides that. It wouldn't FUCKIN' make sense if she wouldn't RIDE ever again and just end up "resuming ballet" after everything that has happened! Believe in MADHOUSE as most of their adaptations have never strayed/deviated away from their manga counterparts. (fyi, this series is in fact adapted from the manga) - We'll just have to wait and see what they have in store for us next...
