"Air Gear is about a typical 15 year old, Minami Itsuki aka Ikki, the leader of East Side Gunz, Higachu Junior High school gang. After being utterly humiliated by a street gang of Storm Riders using Air Treck (abbreviated as AT), the Noyamano siblings gave him a pair of Air Treck and helped him to deal with them. When the incident is over, he finds that he really likes the feeling of "flying" and he is sucked into the world of Air Treck. In the earliest part of the story, it mainly focus with Ikki finding his footing as a Storm Rider among with little episodes of his friends' lives. Later, the story is further developed to look into the issues of the AT world when Akito and Agito appear. " - Quoted from a site i'm not alowed to post ;p

Quite an entertaining ... er.... ecchi, comedy, fun show that I have been keeping tabs with since it started comming out a few weeks ago. Its based off of the insanely popular Manga of the same name.

and btw, Shimca, the girl that first noticed Ikki's potential with Air trecks, is HAWT! If nothing else, watch the show just to see her :lol: In Episode 5, She even snuck into his bathroom completely naked to wash Ikkis back, ended up getting tackled by Jelous Ringo chan, who sent her flying... landing right on Ikki's face ....in quite the position :lol:

This is one of those shows where you watch it and you think to yourself: "this has to be the most retarded thing ever".

Then you think about all the other shows that are just as bad... and wind up getting hooked on the shows unique style of animation and 'camera' angles.

thanks to the crows magical ability to cover up suspect body parts, the show is mostly family friendly (just don't show it to someone that things they can ride roller blades down the side of a building), and strangely addictive in it's presentation and stupidity.
