G-on Riders English Sub & Dub

About G-on Riders

G-on Riders (G-onらいだーす) blends comedy, drama and ecchi by Shaft and TNK (2002). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: At Saint Hoshikawa School there is a secret group called the G-On Riders. Learners with superior strength and ability are chosen to be in the group, which was formed to fight against alien attacks on the earth.

Also worth knowing: However, many of the problems that the members face are ones amongst themselves, and the same is true for the invaders. Another student at the school, Ichiro, tries desperately to confess his love to Yuki, one of the Riders.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Yuuki Kurama (Ryouka Shima) and Sera Arashiyama (Omi Minami) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Shaft and TNK, which means the visual identity of G-on Riders follows that studio's craft. Within the comedy category, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. With a 5.6/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Ryouka Shima voicing Yuuki Kurama gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2002, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
