Synopsis

Air Trecks, also known as AT, are motorized and futuristic inline skates that are the new craze taking the nation by storm. Although each AT comes with a speed limiter, a community of daredevils known as the "Storm Riders" are brave enough to tamper with the device. Utilizing AT's in underground battles, individual teams wager valuable AT parts or team emblems—their symbol of pride—to dominate the streets.

Living in this era is Itsuki Minami, a middle school student notorious for engaging in street fights. Always wanting to reach heights no one else is able to, the reckless punk will break through any obstacle that stands in his way, alongside his best friends Kazuma Mikura and Onigiri. However, it is when he discovers a pair of Air Trecks in his house that the path to his true desire finally opens: to rule the skies.

Overview:
While it's a mindset I'll never quite wrap my head around, it's an indisputable fact that some people enjoy risking their lives for dumb thrills, which is where extreme sports come from. "Air Gear" is what happens when extreme sports do shonen battle anime, following teams of people racing, fighting and competing against each other with what are essentially very hi-tech rollerblades. However, while the premise is fresh, "Air Gear" sadly falls short in a number of areas, even if it is still an enjoyable series that I do not regret spending my time on.

Mixed Feelings
Any positive reviews of Air Gear are mostly filled by nostalgia from those who watched it in the early 2000s. The art style, fashion, and music are all great (art and fashion in the manga are even cooler seriously look up the manga covers) which are what drew me into watching. It has all the making of a classic 2000s anime like protag male living with hot sisterly female characters and over the top ecchi scenes which have not aged well in 2022.

The first few episodes are interesting, but the plot never really goes anywhere? The premise of roller skating gangs sounds super ...

Air Gear aired in Portugal in 2009, when I was 17 years old. I didn't watch it back then but it was very popular with teens back then. That made me add it to my Plan-To-Watch list. I'm almost 31 years old and maybe I should've watched it back then because as an adult, I lack the patience for some themes common in animes similar to Air Gear.

Before deciding to watch this, people should know the following:

- Expect a lot of ecchi and fanservice
- Expect terrible voice acting from the main character
- Expect very inconsistent animation


If these three aspects don't bother you that ...
