  • Air Gear is a Shonen sports echi manga by Oh! Great (Ito Ōgure) that was released in the early 2000s and got a toei animation anime adaptation that last 25 episodes. This series was extremely important to me in my early years of watching anime it is a very nostalgic series to me especially with my love of Jet Set Radio. I always felt for how interesting and unique this series is it never really got the spotlight It deserved. So I thought Air Gear would be the perfect series to start my new series of giving spotlight to underrated anime. Hope you like it!

    The Air Gear manga is one of my absolute favorites. It's incredibly unique and full of that vintage 2000s skater culture you can't find anywhere else.

      It's crazy, when all people have to do really is just find it, but simply refuse to because they're used to being drip-fed by mainstream media. And they turn on to a series just to keep skimming it for reasons to get turned off again, at the slightest toning down of blinking lights and "fast" action. When all it is still animated pictures on the screen.
      That's not really the case for me, because stuff I like such as Rideback or Toshokan Sensou, or Kemeko Deluxe will only just be discarded anyway for "turn-offs" like being too contemplative, when the anime audience simply doesn't have that dimension to them as watchers to care about such things. That's why anyone who says they "love" anime... yeah, that's the opposite of the concept of love. Just drop things the moment they start giving something against your expectations.
      That's already packed in with the idea of making this special slot for japanese animation as "anime", instead of just crediting Japan as maybe they jsut make some of the best and worst stuff out there because other countries lag behind.

    It's about skateboarding instead of rollerblading, but the sense of teamwork, ride battles, and over-the-top moves is still there.

    SPOT ON!!! brother man, you hit the nail on the head with why the manga and anime were so appealing in the early 2000s. Specially those soundtracks, op and ed were bangers (I have them on every device I own 😅). And if you want an AT feeling adjacent, just cruise downtown on a skateboard or roller blades during sunset with the whole musical album in the ears. Of course choose safe routes such as streets with less trafics or even 3am cruise when there is absolutly no soul around 😊 and don't forget the baggy clothes for wind sensations. It's bliss!!!

    As a pro blader myself, I have to say, air gear has been everything to me, from sonic the hedgehog teaching me to be cool, jet set radio teaching me to have style right to air gear teaching me to be dynamic on my blades, I have to say from aggressive rollerblading for 11 years now (I'm 26) this Aries brings the fire with the wind to become a FIRE TORNADO!

    I read this manga a long time ago and I simply loved it from the first chapter. It’s a once in never experience. The comedy, the coolness of it all just hit me as a teenager. Despite it escalating into the stupid levels of superpowers I still loved how the author never let go the main idea of the series and the end was perfect for that reason alone. You never stop having fun. The last episode of the anime shows exactly what I loved about it.

    Air Gear manga is EXTREMELY UNDERRATED!
    It is the series that touches on a pretty deep topics about humanity and life choices.
    Sadly, most of the people do not stay with the story long enough for it to evolve from simple funny story about roller blades with over the top gags, to the divine philosophical phase of how the environment affects person and a meaning of choice and paths you take, being affected by your past.
