Editorial Reviews

Welcome to the world of Storm Riders, where motor-powered inline skates called “Air Trecks” take extreme sports to a whole new level. Those who dare to ride with these high tech devices risk life and limb in a struggle for fame, power and wings to take to the sky. Enter Ikki Minami, the toughest fighter on the east side of town. He rules his school, takes on violent gangs single-handedly and lives with the Noyamanos: four sexy sisters with a surprising secret. And after a humiliating defeat by a terrifying gang of Storm Riders, the sisters welcome him to the world of Air Trecks, where his strength, speed and ambitions soar to brand new heights. Now, with powerful new wings, he must protect his friends, his school and his pride in fierce Air Treck battles known as “Parts Wars.” One mistake could cost him everything, but each victory brings him one step closer to becoming the king of the sky.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun, Entertaining, And Very Action-Filled Anime Worth Getting, December 5, 2008
This review is from: Air Gear: Complete Box Set (DVD)
If you've seen or heard about anime series like Pokeman or Angelic Layer this series has a somewhat similar but still different story plot but also a very fun series to watch. The main part of the story is a new fast-action sport mania called Air Tracks(AT), the AT's are basically powered roller blades that can proper a person to amazing speeds allowing them to perform incredible aerial acrobatics and tricks giving them the sensation of flying almost. This new sport gives rise to groups calling themselves StormRiders, These groups battle each other for either the glory of defeating another rival group or winning much needed parts and equipment from the other rival StormRiders they defeat. Thus a young man named Minami "Ikki" Itsuki after loosing to a leader of a storm rider group becomes enthralled with the abilities of the AT's and the feeling of flight that he's always craved as a young child. Minami lives with four girls who he finds out were nearly legendary famous former StormRiders themselves but seem reluctant to discuss their past AT time with him. After a few episodes Minami decides to form his own Stormrider Group consisting of his friends to become legends in the StormRiders groups as well. The series is dramatic but not to hard-core like Wolf's Rain so while there might be some serious scenes it keeps pretty light-hearted for most of the series. There is plenty of fan-service as well as a few topless scenes but no adult hentai scenes to really worry about. The series was an a incredible find for me and I'm very happy to have gotten this set, so while this is not your mecha or supernatural fighting anime this series is still worth a look at you might be surprised at how much you enjoy the series...

5.0 out of 5 stars Actually a great anime..really, August 25, 2009
By 
This review is from: Air Gear: Complete Box Set (DVD)
When i watched the first episode online i thought "ugh another sport anime", but after some time I saw a bit of style in it. It's very comical, and call out on the anime special effects where people get noodle arms and such. This is definitely a guy anime, not just because of the nudity but because the humor hits home. This anime has a techno type style to it. The soundtrack also helps this style with some actually good beats that fit the situation and rarely repeat the same crap again and again. Lots of fan service, some good hard headed antics, and hilarious moments make this a great anime.

4.0 out of 5 stars Formulaic but entertaining, June 2, 2010
I'm usually not into anime like this. I prefer Ghost in the Shell or Cowboy Bebop. And even though there is a lot of juvenile humor all over this series, I still felt compelled to keep watching. Sure, it's formulaic; a young man discovers that he's secretly gifted at something he's never tried. And through constant trials, becomes everyone's hero.
Except with motorized roller blades. Apparently, there's a legend about a roller-blader that... Anyway, the plot has been used before.
What I liked about Air Gear was the characters. They each actually have some depth, and react to the situation with their own insecurities. That is, when they're not pooping in front of everyone.
Air Gear is a light, fun series that kept me entertained. I do wish someone would pick up the project and finish it though. The show ends about half way through the story line.
