Line 3:
''Rideback'' is a [[Manga]] that was made into a [[Twelve-Episode Anime]] produced by Studio [[Madhouse]] in 2009, based on a manga published in 2003. [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|In the near future]], an organization called the [[A Nazi by Any Other Name|GGP]] (known as the GGF in the manga) had taken control of the world. As they maintained order in society, the citizens quietly accepted their existence. However, a smaller resistance group, the [[La Résistance|BMA]] wished to overthrow the GGP.
The focus of the story is on Rin Ogata, a girl who was a promising up-and-coming ballet dancer, but suffered a serious injury and decided to quit. Years later, during university, she came across a club building and soon finds herself intrigued by a transforming motorcycle like vehicle called a [[Cool Bike|Rideback]]. She finds that her unique ballet skills with balance and finesse make her a born natural on a Rideback; as Rin becomes entangled in the government's affairs, she finds herself struggling to come to terms with both herself and the world around her.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Ace Pilot]]: The three most notable Rideback operators are Rin Ogata, [[Biker Babe|Tamayo Kataoka]] and [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Kiefer]].
* [[
* [[Alphabet News Network]]: SNN
* [[Badass Biker]]: Rin, plus most of the Mushashino Rideback Club.
Line 18:
* [[The Chase]]: Most of the action outside of Rideback racing boils down to chase scenes.
* [[Cool Bike]]: The Ridebacks are essentially transforming motorcycles with advanced balance and control mechanisms
* [[Conspicuous CG]]: The Anime has quite a lot of this.
* [[Conspicuous Trenchcoat]]: Tamayo: when she ditches her hat, it suddenly becomes a [[Badass Longcoat]].
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Shouko
* [[Dance Battler]]: Rin lives and breathes this while on her Rideback, since her skill comes from dancing.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: While this is the case in the anime, he appears in the manga.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: RideBacks have a mode called the 'Spread Legs' form.
* [[Fan Girl]]: Suzuri Uchida
* [[Fan Service]]: There are subtle traces in the series.
* [[Foreign Language Theme]]: The anime's opening is a Mell song (who also did the ''[[Black Lagoon]]'' intro); ''presumably'' it's in English. Good luck deciphering the lyrics on your own, though.
* [[Four Is Death]]: The show takes a darker turn after the fourth episode and culminates with {{spoiler|Suzuri's death}} in episode 10.
Line 40:
* [[Meganekko]]: Suzuri.

Line 48:
** [[Hidenobu Kiuchi]] and [[J Michael Tatum]]: Ryunosuke Kataoka
** [[Shinichiro Miki]]: Romanov Kalenback
* [[Never Be a Hero]]: Rin doesn't actually want to be a rebel nor understand the cause that others think she represents, she just impulsively uses the Rideback to try to help those she knows and unintentionally gets dragged into more serious conflicts.
* [[New Technology Is Evil]]: The usage of Ridebacks is linked to the rise of the GGP; Rin discovers this the hard way when her obssession with her Rideback leads her to actions that draw the GGP's attention and subsequently finds herself involved in their campaign to consolidate their power in Japan.
* [[Opt Out]]: When Rin's brother is framed for murder and she realizes that she might have to hurt people, Rin proves unable to bear the burden of being a member of [[La Résistance]] and quits just as the rebellion prepares to strike.
