| I love it, ofc this is only for air gear geeks. If you'r not and still thinking about seeing this just gtfo :P |
| I'm big AG fan and i have to say they rushed too much we waited years for the OVA, we could have waited a bit more why the hell did the push everything into 1 episode.It would be so much funier to see the party and Aeon panicking face. Alsoit started too random at least the could have shown a little recap 2-3 minutes. And they gave Ikki(no offence) but what's with that gay voice it's more or less shoking. That was the bad stuff, despite all this fouls the episode was better than the original anime at least i think so, and i enjoyed the last scene although they did leave Agito out of it. And we finally got to see the so call KISS~ (Kyaaa) (rofl). Well iit was prety good entertaiment. |
 |
| i waited quietly for this and finally its out well and yes it wont be the only episode as it seems |
 |
| Only a good watch if you've read the manga. My friend watched it with me and he had only seen the anime and we had to pause over 5 times so that I could explain what was going on. That aside, I personally really enjoyed it as I have read the manga. If you were hoping for a season 2 type OVA then you'll be very disappointed. |
 |
| I need to catch up with the manga so I can understand what just happened because I was confused but i'm glad to see that Kururu hair is officially pink and not blonde like others believed. |

| It sort of felt like the OVA was missing something. I thought that the OVA would have more of an effect on me, but it just seemed like some parts of the OVA wasn't as 'strong' as I thought it would be. I really loved reading these chapters, and there were some Ikki and Ringo scenes that were done very well, such as the end of the race, and before Ikki left the house. After the credits was funny, didn't expect Aion not to be wearing any pants :P |
| me demand s2!!! ^.^ |
     |
| I agree with most things said here, to reiterate a few... "It's for hardcore AG fans" - Duh, i didnt see any explanation making it accessible to none hardcore fans "It was missing something" - IT WAS! it didnt have the feel of the original despite having better art work and sound Personally, i really enjoyed it, it wasnt perfect, and hopefully they'll work on the flaws of the first for March's release. But it was still good to this bit animated so beautifully :) Hope we get to see more from the storm king as opposed to the wind king soon And finally i leave you with this... What happened to Aeon's hair?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! its been brown for as long as i can remember, why did he suddenly become old? |
 |
| I havnt been reading the manga and I watched the series and I thought it was fantastic and it left me beggin for more. 9/10. I would love a season 2. btw. |
 |
| Never watched the Air Gear anime series, but enjoyed the OVA. Think I'll check out the series now. |
 |
| God I wish A T's were real T_T.The animation and the way they move was much better in this ova. |

Honestly, I can't even remember anything about the first season by now (except that I enjoyed it), but I just wasn't feeling anything from this OVA.Meh, only hardcore Air Gear fans who read and enjoy the manga can truly enjoy this. The art was better, but it just lacked the feel that the original anime had but who cares it was fucking great and i got to see Kururu screen shots |

| whoops. Totally thought Kururu was Simca. |
|
| I enjoyed the OVA. It was fun. But I will say that I wasn't expecting much. And I was confused early on as it's been forever since I watched the tv series and have only read a few volumes (and that was long ago too). |
 |
| dem exploding clothes!!!!!! x) |
    |
| I wonder why... it's just.. slightly off, this OVA. (They should've done a LOT better on Kururu. -.-) |
 |
| this OVA reminded me of why i fell in love with Air Gear in the first place. those beautiful skate moves they do, seriously it's like combining figure skating and cirque de soleil in anime form. the change in voice actors i can get use to and i liked Kururu on this episode. and i don't know if anyone noticed, but near the beginning half of the episode Simca answered "She's my older twin sister." to Ikki when he asked about ringo (I HATE HER). was it just a typo from the subbers or did they change that fact from the manga? because I Do Not Like It at all. I definitely Like It (4.5). would have loved it but my hatred for ringo is just to much |

| the animation was good but: when did Simca's eyes turned purple o.O and Ikki has a stupid face and is never serious~in the OVA he looked completely different! and i miss Kenta voice soooo much T.T and that Kanon boy was pretty hot XD.Why the hell didnt put him in anime T.T AND I DIDNT SEE AGITO AT ALL DX |
| good ova but little short imo they skip some important parts. |
 |
| Incomprehensible, in every sense of the word. |
 |
| How long this OVA will be? Has anyone know a number of planned episodes? |

| I would have preferred season 2, but this is good too. The battle animation really brought the manga to life, which is a bit of a feat considering how good the manga is at showing motion and action. But...but...where's the Skankfunk music??? D= |

Citrix said: Watched the OVA and thought I missed the season 2 of this series...The OVA seems so far ahead from where they left off in the anime series =/ This. Considering that I haven't read the manga and have only watched the anime, where should I pick up in the manga to actually understand WTF is going on in this ova? |
| Having not watched the anime and only read the manga, I don't have the same complaints with it being different from the anime. I expected that it will skip over a lot of details but I didn't think it was this many. But what I was looking for in this OVA was not the details but the fight, which was done good, and the KISS, which was awesome. This OVA was bundled with the manga so I think manga readers would be the only ones to understand and enjoy this. Sadly, this is one of the few fights left that was really good in AG before it went downhill fast. Hoping the next episode would be the next big fight in the top of the building that was awesome. |

| anyone care to explain what Ringo was doing on the bed? ;D and what side effects does she normally get for using her regalia? |
 |
PBnJamz said: That was the side effects after using her Sonia Road. I don't know if you still remember what happened in the anime, there was a battle between Sora+Ikki vs All of Noyamano sisters. In that battle they explained how the Sonia Road work when Rikka was using it to fight against Ikki. And the side effect is the more you use your attack the more you take damage from your own attack. And if you want more explanation then read manga chapter 132 which was skipped in the OVA.anyone care to explain what Ringo was doing on the bed? ;D and what side effects does she normally get for using her regalia? |

| I really enjoyed watching this OVA. Ringo's getting more alluring and sexier while Ikki's getting becoming more serious. I can't wait for the next releases. |
 |
| I was not to blown away by this episode abit confused by the whole thing |
| I found this OVA wasn't as bad as I thought it was. I had way higher expectations considering the anime. However, couldn't pull it off as well as I thought it could. Apparently, there's going to be another OVA release, and I hope they can pull this one off a little better than this one. Looking forward to the next! |
| Everyone seems to be saying "I can't wait for the next OVA", but who knows? maybe they're using these episodes to test the waters and see how the fans respond to an Air Gear anime that follows the manga closely. Now I know that they DID leave some things out, but is it possible that they're thinking about going for something like what FMA did with brotherhood? Personally I hope they are, because the darker tones of the manga would make for a really good anime :). I know it would be somewhat of a pain if they started from the beginning again, but let's face it; after all this time of NO AG at all, I'd much rather have a total restart and a long-running series than a couple more OVAs (for the record though, AG is totally one of my fav anime so a continuation would be nice too) |

RingoPie said: From what I remember Kururu's here IS supposed to be pink not blond, it was in one of the color pages. The original anime was so shit in compared to the ova, original anime wasn't an anime it was just colored pages of the manga put together, at least the ova had a better feel to it, 2nd season in this quality would be so much better. >_> It was in the special color 3 pages of some random chapter, it was blond and everybody on 4chan were like :o she's not pink. |

| This is everything in a nutshell. It doesn't follow the end of the original series with Ikki winning the new Regalia. In this OVA, Ikki already has the Wind Regalia. WTF!!!!!!! It has way better art/animation specs. It doesn't follow the original series in terms of character demeanors and attitudes. Ikki was way different than he was in the series. He wasn't funny or perverted or anything of the sort. Ringo was kind of strange and Simca was a softy (like she would be so easily defeated like that). The characters were off. There was a bunch of random new people we've never seen before and we didn't get to see the original characters at all besides the main tier. Ikki's teammates were MIA. The action element/superpowers were way better with super-saiyan type destructive force and auras. Ikki and Ringo tore each other to pieces. So you get the idea. It was epic and needs a full blown second season, but it has to be the original Air Gear feel, not this new one. |

| Totally disappointed with this OVA. It seems that I'm watching a different anime. They totally cut off where Ringo is feeling hurt. I hope they will make the second OVA better. The seiyuu is really bad also. |
"Perhaps the distant part of the sky always seems clearest, so that we will always strive to reach it."  chiquit |
| It was quite nice, but somehow it felt, that they could have done this better :/ Well that's probably mostly because I personally disliked the change in their voices |
| Watched the original anime, didn't read the manga, didn't enjoy this as much as I should have. A 2nd season or a rebuild following closely the manga would be welcome but I doubt that will happen one day. |
| Woah, awesome. I mean, I've been reading it for a year now, finished the anime, and never got bored of it. Kanon is love~ <333 |
 |
| I Still dont get why they changed the whole cast....but i agree the art is much better (though i did spot some character's eyes had a different eye colour from the series) ---------------------------------------- Well, just finished watching episode, noticed better art compared to TV series and change in voice actors, previous voices seemed better, atleast for me. Too bad they didn't show the rest of the Kogarasumaru gang. SLIPLV said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST.

| Well, that felt quite generic IMO The animation quality isnt great. I think the TV series adaption captured the manga's energy way better. And its definitely lacking in the BGM department. This needed some Skankfunk lol Anyway, this kinda killed my hopes of a 2nd animated season. If its to be animated by this same studio, I do not want it. The manga is still awesome. I recommend anyone who hasnt started it, to read it instead of waiting for this. |
 |
| hell yeah! I liked the original series, but this just blew it out of the water! Great action, better looking, felt just like reading the manga :) Annnnnnnd the after the credits clip!???! LAughed for a good minute! That chap was hilarious. |

Yet this is also true true. I read the manga and I'm so happy at least they still make the OVA, I hope they'll make the 2nd season instead of OVA... And I want Kazu vs Gabishi to be animated too!! Omg I want a 2nd season!! |

| I'm still reading the manga, and NONE of this shit makes any sense.... Why and How exactly does using roller blades make you fly??? Well whatever, what I really don't understand is the whole "kings" thing they have going... I guess I just have to keep reading, although I liked this series best before the whole Genesis thing, I felt it made more sense and it was more enjoyable back then... Oh, one more thing.....these VAs are HORRIBLE.....I have no idea why they changed the original VAs from the first anime series. |

| Well it was nice OVA. Though the VA rather disappoint me. |
 |
| I Didn't Know There's An OVA. ._. I Totally Love This Episode But I Got NTR'd On That Ringo And Kanon Kiss. DAMN! D: Sumeragi Is <3 . Finally I See Her But Only In OVA. :( |
