Air Gear

If your reading this that means your reading the first Hey Hey Anime review ever. So YAY!!!!(confetti falls to the floor) And this must really be your lucky day cuz this is a 2 in 1 review. Today I am reviewing Air Gear both the anime and manga.





Now we have a 5 star rating system it goes as follows:


1 star= SHIT


2 star= POLISHED SHIT


3 star= WOULDN'T BUY IT, BUT IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS IT CHECK IT OUT.


4 star= THIS SOME GOOD SHIT


5 star= FUCKIN AWESOME





So lets start with the anime. Air Gear tells the story Itsuki "Babyface" Minami a high school student who at the beginning of the series is the leader of a gang called the East Side Gunz. And he is considered very strong by his classmates, but one day he gets his ass kicked a storm rider gang called the Skull Saders. Now storm riders are people who ride these things called ATs. Which are motorized skates that allow them to pull off cool ass tricks. So after Ikki gets his ass kicked, and gets firecrackers shoved up his ass, he goes home where he lives with four girls who without out his knowledge are a big storm rider team called the Sleeping Forest. While at home he finds these tapes on storm riding and becomes smithin by it, and decides to become one. And after that the story just follows him trying to be one and making a team. Now before I go into what I think of it if you plan on watching it don't watch the sub version before the dub. Cuz you will be disappointed in the voice casting for Agito(once you watch it you'll know who I'm talking about). So this anime is one of my favorites, it has everything I enjoy in an anime action, fighting, a excellent storyline, a little drama, and hot girls. In fact I have had fantasy's of being a storm rider. But besides that it does have it's flaws. Like the fact the series just cuts off I mean the manga has way more story after that. I was VERY disappointed because of that, and because of that and Agito's voice I'm giving this a 4 star review.











Now it's time for the manga. Same basic storyline but with a little more story to it. And a feature I really like they have notes at the back of the book like AT designs and how to make a AT. I'm on volume 5 and so far I really like it. So Air Gear the manga for not just stopping and not having the annoying Agito voice it gets a 5 star review.
