Air Gear Review

Now I won't reveal how long it actually took me to watch this anime because it's Friday night and I don't want to seem like a complete loser. But anyway, this anime actually took me by surprise. I watched a couple of episodes with my friend and it was a little slow for me at first. Okay the main character is this cocky kid who starts riding on glorified roller-blades on steroids; that's new to me but I'll bite. The story and characters start to develop through the first ten or so episodes and that's where I got hooked. You have the stereotypical horny school guys and the love stricken girls (in middle school which I didn't believe at first) and the comedic relief added into their personalities. You also have the "I'm going to fight this battle, no one is stronger than me, watch me kick ass, I ride for freedom" bit which is classic and in this case different because of the whole rollerblading (ATs) thing. Each character's personality is unique and adds to the story instead of being thrown into the shadows by the main character. I really recommend trying out this anime for anyone who likes animes with cute romances, bishoujo, and some fighting. I would say more about it but the story is a little difficult to understand if you don't physically watch it or read it. All in all I enjoyed it which surprised me because I didn't think I would so you never know. I learned not to underestimate some anime.
