    Air Gear

    First episode hasn't been released yet, but I found the OP on tokyotosho so we can at least see how the animation will look like:

    http://www.frozen-layer.net/bittorre...o.php?id=31429

    I'm just going to go ahead and warn the many manga readers of this series to be very careful on how you discuss this series, or I may have to start banning people for spoiling.

    For those of you who don't know this series is by the same mangaka who did Tenjou Tenge so you can at least expect a fair amount of fights, hot chicks, and fan service.

    "*Based on the manga by Oh Great!*

    Air Gear is yet another work of "Oh Great!", other known works by him were Tenjou Tenge and Majin Devil. The story revolves around Ikki (Minami Itsuki) and the sport of air treck- sport involving self-propelled shoes. Ikki is fascinated with flying and his chance meeting with the sport changes his outlook and priorities in life. The middle school student is pushed forward to the underground world of A-T by Simca, a mysterious..."

    Heh, and for all of you, like myself, who cant wait on BT for this, the OP has been posted on youtube.com

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycYQs...rch=air%20gear

    I love the choice of opening song. It has a good feel to it, and the animation looks essesally nice for certain parts. Other parts look like its counter part og Tenjo Tenge, which imo had pretty good animation. I'm really looking forward to see if any groups like Kraze pick this up.


    For all you awesome people, it's just Phoenix. The numbers are just the amount of times people misspell it.

    Awesome animation for this series, it fits the manga style very well.

    Can't wait till this is released and a good subbing group pick this up.

    I don't know if I really want to watch this, something about a 15 sec. title shot doesn't sit well with me.

    I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking with the manga. The animation style doesn't seem to go with the art style as far as I'm concerned. With broadcasting, we will also lose many of the the heavily perverted sequences that make Oh Great! titles sucessful as manga, but once lost, produce a bomb of a series.

    Why in god's name is Ringo's hair almost purple? It's a lightish brown on all of the covers she's featured on.

    I'mnot all that worryed about the lack of pervertedness. I just hope they dont try to cram 12 volumes into a 26 episode series, or even do the first half of the story and leave us hanging with no animation *cough*tengotenge*cough cough*

    I wish I still had Jet Set Radio Future.
    Decent premier episode. Plenty of hot chicks, to be expected from Oh! Great. The music was good as well. (The ending theme video reminded me of FLCL)
    I'll probably have to read the manga soon.

    second that. mediocrity seems to exude from this series... way too many other new shows and ones still ongoing that i'm taking over this one. heck, i like Zoids Genesis better than this... but hopefully this will get better in time?

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    I really doubt this show will get any better with time. They kinda homoganized Air Gear int oa TV freindly version. This show was dead before it was even drawn.

    Hmmm... the seconed episode made up a lot for the short-comings that the first episode had. It seems that they'll follow the story better at three and on. I am still hoping they don't speed through everything too much.


    For all you awesome people, it's just Phoenix. The numbers are just the amount of times people misspell it.

    Think I'm gonna wait this one out to gage everyone's reactions later in the series. My experience with Black Cat has made a huge skeptic out of me =P

    Well um I don’t know what to say about this after watching the first 10 mins I figured this would be like Initial D or something but its crap. I mean he just puts the skates on and after like 3 episodes all of a sudden he is fucking Jesus? I may give this one more episode but I doubt ill keep watching.

    Well, there are people that are better than him on the AT's.

    They seem to be going through this fairly quickly. I'm not so disappointed with this show. I'm just a big fan of Air Gear, although there are parts that I don't agree with and don't like, but on the whole I'm enjoying so far, upto episode 3.
