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. Nonton juga anime ini.
Synopsis Itsuki Minami needs no introduction—everybody's heard of the 'Babyface' of the Eastside. He's the toughest kid at Higashi Junior High School, easy on the eyes but dangerously tough when he needs to be. Plus, Itsuki lives with the mysterious and sexy Noyamano sisters. Life is never dull, but it becomes dangerous when Itsuki leads his school to victory over some vindictive Westside punks with gangster connections.
Now he stands to lose his school, his friends, and everything he cares about. But in his darkest hour, the Noyamano girls come to Itsuki's aid. They can teach him a powerful skill that will save their school from the gangsters' siege–and introduce Itsuki to a thrilling and terrifying new world.(Source: Del Rey).

Overall5Story3Art9Character5Enjoyment6I'LL SHOOPDAWHOOP YOU TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN!^This actually happens in the manga.Enter the ridiculous world of Oh!
Great (Ogure) manga: Air gear. If you are familiar with his other works (such as tenjou tenge) then you should know what to expect. A convoluted mess of absurd amounts of fanservice, a cast of cliches, a great deal of random events, amazing art and (as an added bonus for this manga) bullshit physics.Air gear takes place in a world where highly advanced, state-of-the-art, motorized roller blades known as air treks are used by people to zoom around the town, partaking in territorial warsand other competitive events.Pros:-BOOBS! ASS!-Awesome art!-Great concept.Cons:-Characters are bland.-Story is just a mess.-Random stuff happens so frequently, you just have to accept it.-BAD. Anyone who gave a crap bout their grade 8 physics class would see a lot of mistakes in Ogure's 'explanations'-Did i mention the story is a mess?-Bad inclusion of humor at inappropriate times. This would actually be a Pro if it wasn't so overused.-And just so you know, the story is a down right horrid mess of crap.Story: 3/10Follow our protagonist as he dreams of soaring through the skies! Delve into the world of air treks and witness as the shit hits the fan!!
The story starts off great but quickly takes a turn for the worst. Bad science + no clear direction + too much fanservice + even more yaoi fanservice + random mecha + president of united states = not very good. I ain't gonna spoil it for you and you can read the synopsis for more detail. And seriously. This is one of those manga's where you would benefit from skipping anything YOU, the reader, deems retarded and irrelevant. Because it probably is.Art: 9/10Friggin' AWESUM! The art is just great!
If only there was less fanservice and more focus on the story, this manga woulda been top-notch. The attention to detail, the fight scenes, the backgrounds.
Its all just so good!Characters: 5/10A massive cast of just about every cliche out there. I wouldn't give it a 1/10 cause it sticks to the nature of cliches. But no higher than 5/10 cause there really isn't any originality here. One big problem in my opinion is the characters age.
Way way way tooo young for what they look like and what they do.Overall: 5/10Read it if you want lots of Pseudo-Hentai with a story in the background. Maybe if you wanna check out some awesome art. But don't read it if you are looking for this super awesome concept executed with an amazing story and quality art. All you'll get is disappointment and quality art.The following is a more detailed review.
Don't bother if you don't want a giant wall of text full of my opinions.Genre tags:So! You should have a basic idea of what this manga is like. A few things I'd like to add to the genre tags would be 'fantasy' or 'science fiction' Why?
Because the story starts with simple motorized roller blades and ends with super high tech parts that use vibrations in the air to trap people. Or techniques of breathing in to accumulate more nitrogen in your body, causing nitrogen bubbles that generate excruciating pain but also heighten the bodies senses. Even ways to skate on the water by creating so much heat that you generate a surface on the water. Like i said, bad physics. Simply adding a genre tag other than 'sports' would help the story do what it wants. But nope, Ogure chose to break his own rules. The 'sports' tag is misleading.
There's way too much bullshit going on for it to be regular sports.Story:See, it starts fairly simple. Guy wants to fly. Gets super-awesome skates. Flies around. Suddenly, he gets into a fight with a group. Suddenly, another group appears.
Then suddenly, more information is given to us about the world of air trek. It was just so sudden. Suddenly, people start executing techniques that are just absurd. Stopping time with roller blades?
WHAAAT!?WITH FRIGGIN' ROLLER BLADES!?!?!? Suddenly, wheels turn into whips (but don't hinder the riders mobility). Suddenly, falling from heights that would have killed someone in chapter 2 isn't a problem in chapter 15. Suddenly, some guy appears. Suddenly, he betrays the protagonist.
Suddenly, this person dies. Suddenly hes alive (of course, cause. Adding a motor to a pair of roller blades allows you to resurrect people by causing super sonic vibrations that resonate with the mitochondria in their cells causing the body to go into overdrive preventing them from losing their consciousness thus allowing them to remain alive.not) Then suddenly, the president of the United states of america appears (not kidding.). Then suddenly theres a body swap. Then suddenly giant robots destroying cities.That is how to story goes. Suddenly something happens, we start getting crap explanations (if we are even lucky enough for one) and before you can even begin to wrap your head around it, suddenly something else happens and there are more explanations.
Then the story ends. And you realized you just wasted a great deal of time and energy trying to give a crap about a bad story. And lets not forget, random bullshit is hiding at every corner. Every single time the story takes a turn, some giant pile of bullcrap comes raining down on the reader. This manga makes less and less sense with every volume.Oh and don't get me started on Oh! Great's naming sense. That's another clue the sports tag is uber misleading.
You get attacks like 'bloody killer fang,' 'Unlimited atmosphere,' 'Pile Tornado.' Even titles like 'gravity children'. Seriously, if this guy wasn't smoking something while coming up with incoherent bullshit, he would be deemed insane.Art:Like i said. The art is great. But there is way too much fanservice. Which is great if you like that.Every girl gets naked here.
EVERY ONE OF THEM. And so do some of the guys. We also have some serious (STORY RELATED) yaoi here. Every chapter is perverted. Every volume has ridiculous amounts of cleavage, boob-grabbing, ass-slapping, cloth-ripping and just plain on panty-shots.
If you, like me, cared about the story then this would start to get in your way of enjoying the manga. But then again, the story is crap so this really is all you got going for you. Fanservice and fight scenes. The two things that don't need to make sense are the only reason you should read this manga.Characters:Boy oh boy oh boy. Main male protagonist is your average full of himself, 'i-cant-define-cool-without-making-him-a-douchebag' douchebag.
He's got a friend who's full of determination and self-doubt to the point that he is a normal person. Another friend who is just a complete and utter pervert. And one who's the fat guy who just don't stop eating. One is gay for the douchebag and has multiple personalities.Then there are the female cast who all are very. 'well-endowed' when it comes to the body department.
NO LOVE FOR TEH PETTANKOS!! The majority fall in love with the douchebag main protagonist. What else did you expect?How do these characters develop? A lot actually. But they just sorta loop around to being how they are in the beginning with just more skills. Not much i guess.Facts, credibility and imagination:You might be thinking, WTF IS THIS? Well, i had to add this criteria simply because Ogure does such a wonderful job of making up total and utter bullshit and expects it to make sense to the reader.As far as facts go, they go along with the world of Air gear then fall flat on their face.
They last about. 3 volumes.Credibility, just the same as facts. Everything goes along just fine, seemingly appropriate for the world of Air gear and the fancy high-speed roller blades known as air treks. Then credibility fails Ogure as mystical, magical and down right moronic science kicks it to the curb.Imagination, however, SHINES! There is a lot of imaginative material going on in the manga. And it really really really isn't bad.
Like i said earlier, this manga has a fantastic concept. But the great ARTIST Oh! Great screws up big time and (probably started smoking something new) just gets too wild and crazy that the reader must begin to imagine that this is a good manga. Oh, and i capitalized the word artist because that is what Ogure is. He can't write a story for shit, but he sure as hell can draw some amazing things. Did i mention Ogure can't write a decent story?
Just making sure you get my point.Final thoughts:Go dream up a better story involving motorized roller blades and i guarantee you that it will be a bazillion times better than air gear. If you are too lazy, then read Air gear. Feel free to skip the 'SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATIONS' since they just ruin stuff (unless you have no knowledge of anything physics-related i guess). Heck, it actually is BETTER to skip lots of the stuff past volume 5 to keep the story in the direction it's MEANT to go. You could literally skip 1/4th of the manga and you would have a more cohesive story. Would i recommend this? Maybe if you want lots of fanservice, or if you want to know what not to do to a story or just wanna check out some awesome art.Hope you found this review helpful or at the very least enjoyable.
Overall7Story6Art10Character7Enjoyment10So I stumbled across a few artworks by Oh! Great and was simply fascinated by his art.
Overall7Story6Art8Character5Enjoyment9For the past ten years, Oh! Great (Ogure Ito) has created one of the most bizarre pieces to ever hit the shelves: Air Gear. To be blunt, it's bizarre because you just can't seem to figure out what Air Gear is trying to be. Is it a sports manga that's over the top? Is it a battle manga with the most peculiar choice of weapons? Is it a harem manga of sorts?
Is it actually a comedy manga with ridiculous amounts of fanservice? The manga jumbles its focus on these genres as it goes on, and does so until its final chapter.Nevertheless, I finished readingAir Gear. I just finished reading it out of sentiment; I still fondly remember the days when it was good, and continued reading hoping that the good times of Air Gear would return. Alas, it would not recover, but I read it anyway.
I suppose this is the sentiment produced by reading long-running series; you just can't let go so easily. Anyway, let's get to the nitty gritty.Story: 6/10The story is about Minami Itsuki, referred to by his friends as 'Ikki,' and his story in the world of ATs. What are ATs? Think of over-the-top inline skates. And skate in the sky. With powers.I actually hooked on to this concept, and thought that it would produce some of the most ridiculous sports manga ever.
Air Gear, however, tries to attain a multitasking attitude, and attempts to do several genres all at the same time. What we end up with is a sports manga tied in with battles, romance, comedy, and fanservice. It juggles the concepts each time, and ends up with a bizarre mess most of the time.
Imo model course 1.23 pdf. IMO MODEL COURSES PROFICIENCY IN SURVIVAL CRAFT AND RESCUE BOATS (OTHER THAN FAST RESCUE BOATS) (Model course 1.23) (2000 Edition) This course covers training in the mandatory minimum requirements for the issue of certificates of proficiency in survival craft as specified in section A-VI/2-1 of the STCW Code. English TA123E ISBN 978-92-801-61156.
It does have its moments, though, although the mess really is more frequent. It was jumbled so much that the last 20+ chapters ended up being romantic, then more of a shounen battle, and finally finishing it up sports manga-style. It's confusing, but you tend to grow on it if you've been reading it for years.Art: 8/10I've always liked Air Gear's character illustrations.
Details are pretty much just right where you need them. It's just puzzling, though, how the female characters don't seem to know the concept of 'underwear.' Or even 'sports bras.' Heck, sometimes, even 'bras' too. Well, setting all forms of fanservice aside, the characters look great.The battles look amazing as well. It's amazing how the artists envision all the powers of the ATs, and bring them to life as backgrounds each time the user of the AT uses the said power. Dragons, vines, typhoons-name it, they got it.What sets me off, though, is the scenery.
Sometimes, it's great, but often times, it's really messy. Setting that aside, everything else is pretty good.Character: 5/10Here's where the other problem of Air Gear lies: the characters are so plentiful they're cluttered and completely lack characterization. Most of the characters are cool and collected, or hot-headed sports jocks like our lead character, or some pretty girls with awesome sets of inline skates (and vital statistics). The only guys I remember so well aren't even the lead characters; they're just members of the group Ikki forms later in the story. If anything, you'd find strength in the characters not as individuals, but as a whole. Heck, even Ikki's personality was pretty uneventful.Enjoyment: 9/10Nevertheless, Air Gear was a pretty unique experience. You'd never thought you'd see genres so diverse in one single manga, and the author manages to execute the story while keeping the ridiculous instances at bay.
(Sometimes.) The tricks and the ATs give life to the story, and keep readers on. You can even play favorites with your choice of the best ATs in the series.
It's that catchy. Either that, of course, or you're really just interested in certain curves throughout the series. Or the almost complete ignorance of women's underwear. But hey, all's well that ends well, right?Overall: 7/10For the record, this is simply the average score of everything I've rated above. Overall, Air Gear brings about a story that's just as ridiculous as the sport where the entire story revolves about. Whether you're in it for the sentiments, or the women, or the tricks, or the powers, Air Gear remains to be quite an entertaining read.
It's certainly not the best out there, but it's nice to read something to bizarre it's entertaining. I guess the bizarre nature of this manga is one of its strong points after all.
