Summary:
Minami Itsuki never thought about seriously riding Air Treck motorized roller blades, until he got his butt handed to him by a street gang of Storm Riders. That day, he discovered in a locked up room, a pair of AT's and a box of stickers belonging to the Sleeping Forest street gang. One thing leads to another, and Ikki dons the wheels and begins to ride. As his reputation builds in the AT street fighting/racing world, he begins to develop his own gang and participate in more fights, gaining more and more territory.
Air Gear.. Hmmm, where to begin? I think the main point I need to get across is that this anime is bloody amazing. Yes, it pales in comparison to the manga, but which anime doesn't? The animation perhaps could've been better, but don't let it take away from what truly is an amazing anime. The concept is superb - it left me wishing Air Treks were real. The story, entertainment and character cast were all excellent. The only flaw? It was too short. I really would've loved for the series to have progressed further, because it really is just THAT good. The humour is great (whilst at times slightly ecchi), I loved it, as will you, so what are you waiting for?
