man why cant they come up with a semi-inteligent male for these types of anime. Just a waste really. I might check the manga out if i have time, otherwise the show is on the list of watchers for me. So far it's decent with humor so unless they crap it up somehow I'll keep watching.

Just checkd this anime out and i think this is a good anime and the characters look good. I agree the male character personality is a little off but i think that will make this anime funny so i am expecting this to be a interesting anime Very Happy

Well I doubt I have anything good to contribute, since everyone's almost saying the same thing. The characters look really nice, and the whole idea is good, but I feel the animation and overall quality (mostly the coloring of the backgrounds) isn't that excellent. It's still good overall, I especially like the music introducing the sisters, and the whole idea in general.

Sadly, I didn't get into the manga when it started since I couldn't find it, and now only volume 3 and up are available.

wonder if the anime story will finish b4 the manga's

well my initial reaction was fairly positive. But after the first ep i hunted out the manga and made i all the way to vol7. Having done that the anime doest seem all that great anymore but purely because i know how theyve had to shorten/adjust everything to fit within the anime's time limit. Saying that i still think the animes ok and i like the music in the first 2 eps at least.

just watched ep2 and that was some bitch slap ^^

lmao yea i was like PWND@!!!

Anyway music is pretty good, artwork is good, hopefully the storyline will be decent. As I dont read manga i cant really compare but I dont think any(many?) anime totally follow the manga.

I thought the first episode was fairly well done in the time frame they had. I really like the music they play during the show. However, the manga is really good cause you get the whole picture on what is happening. Plus, the manga goes into more detail with the story and drawings if ya know what i mean.

this anime didnt really represent the manga well.. it made the lead look too much of a dork, spec with the choice of his seiyuu..

and due to that yeah, it seems a 'typical anime', i(mo it was degraded into a typical anime..) really.. this is what happens 'again', if they take something say.. a nearly r18 manga and turn it into a gp/pg anime for kids.

anyways the pacing is too horrible for me(from an airgear manga fan's POV) they crammed at least 4 or more volumes worth of characters into the first ep.

and at least two volumes worth of story for the first ep. yeah, i know, they were tryin to cut it short for prolly the reason of the anime limited to only a few episodes.. but meh, why bother making it into an anime if theyre gonna ruin the story. i think the only purpose of this show if any is give a form of fanservice for fans wanting to se an animated AirGear.

the animation.. is about average.. but the quality seems to lack even for the first ep, usually the first ep has the best quality to get viewers glued, but i see a lot of *frame shortcuts* going on.. looks like a really budgeted anime to me.

kinda like what i felt when the first anime of I''s came out. good thing they made good on 'I''s Pure' this time

After watching this I'm definitely going to check out the manga now. Of course, I'll keep watching the anime as well.

I do like the characters though, and yes they don't look their age, it's an anime... Did you expect it? For the most part, they almost never do, it's kinda a normal thing now. But like said earlier, people grow fast these days, it's not like you couldn't find people their age that look like that.

Well... To get back on topic. I like the show, it's interesting. And as said, the soundtrack seems good. It'll be worth watching.

... rollerblades with a motor called "AIR trek"??.... bleh

just saw the first 2, im not impressed. it seems like some fanservice and a lot of retarded fights on wheels.

animation kinda reminds me of tenjou tenge; but TenTen was a lot more badass.. come to think of it, the entire plot seems kinda similar to TenTen, just a lot more retarded.... and on wheels. lol

im dropping this like its hot

Good music and animation but manga story is more interesting and funnier. Anyway I'll be watching this. Sounds interesting. Rollerblades with engine and you can ride wall, ride in high speed and make very high jump but what about landing Question

after watching ep3.. how to put it.. umm.. the animation qualty seems to be getting worse.. lots of repeating frames, and ugly movements, even cg not really blending well...

i bet the animation director thought he could prolly do a better job or presenataion by doing his own version of AirGear, but yeh.. he failed. wouldve been much better if the story was crap and the animation was superb or vice versa(story good>so so animation).. i really cant find anything worth redeeming the anime..

really sad to see a good manga turn out this bad as an anime.

ive watched the first 2 eps and ignored the third when it came out. the anime totally fails in face of the manga. the battles are so much less dramatic and action packed. and they completely cut out the ecchi scenes. ikki is a wimp. the only character that didnt change was simca, but i guess they gotta keep some type of sexiness in to keep an audience even if they covered the panty shots.
