Overview: Endride was actually pretty enjoyable. There are some sappy parts in it for sure, and there are many parts which feel a little rushed--but it is complete and the story is actually not that bad. It really picks up later in the series as well. Though I wouldn't rank this in my top 10, it is good if you're between shows and want something quick and decent to watch.
Review: I actually liked the plot enough to sit down and binge watch it in two different sittings (though I figured out quickly why Shun was able to use warp relics). Shun is not always the brightest character, but he is optimistic and likable. However, I feel like there really should be more emotion between the characters--especially when you realize in the second half what's really going on. Emotions are very short lived, and characters recover from some things MUCH faster than they should, while dwelling on others that don't seem as important. I feel like the ending was not as good as it could have been. It wraps everything up neatly for the most part, but the later interactions with Shun and his parents seem very unrealistic (you'll understand once you get there), and the final couple of minutes feel a little unnecessary and unsatisfying. There is a little clip at the end of the credits after the last episode to hint that a better ending could be possible--but I hate it when they don't just show you the ending you want. It takes the satisfaction out of it. That being said, the ending was okay, but not great.
Like I said before, if you're looking for a show while in-between shows or while saving up episodes for another anime, this one is a pretty good one to fill your time. It's worth watching once.
