How did I miss this one?

[Baka Gaijin]

Um..... So yea prob belongs on a blog or somethin, but i dont have one so.... I Just started watching Air Gear. 2006 I think? Im old I guess, 27, so started with Project A-Ko, the Dirty Pair, Ninja Scroll etc. I cant believe I missed Air Gear, im only on episode 8. But wow, amazing. Aside from the fanservice elements, ( Which I certainly dont mind ) I just cant get enough. Really just wanted to post this for anyone who is looking for something awesome to watch, and also because once in awhile, something just clicks with you, and you have to tell people about it. I cant wait to finish it and then re-watch it again. I now know what I would wish for if I had a wish, a pair of AT's

Air Gear is fine at the begging, but becomes a messy battle with confusing plot afterwards (at least in the case of Manga).

Oh!Great is fantastic at running series into the ground, and AirGear was no exception. I can't speak for the anime, because by the time it aired I was already sick enough of the manga. Nevertheless, AirGear has 3 stages:

1. The Beginning - It starts off pretty well, and it seems like a typical sort of shounen sports anime. They compete, fight, train, and improve themselves in the running to be the best.
2. The first mention of Sleeping Forest - From here on out AirGear turns into an absolutely ridiculous supernatural shounen battle manga. The plot still makes sense, but it goes from being slightly believable to completely far fetched. The cast explodes, and Oh!Great starts drawing diagrams and making up absurd explanations for attacks using real physics terms.
3. The first mention of the Gram Scale Tournament - Nothing beyond this point makes any sense. Battles are super-saiyajin level, the dead come back to life through a computer program, President Obama becomes a primary character after swapping bodies with a schoolgirl, and every other week Oh!Great decides to make some current event part of the plot (Obama's campaign, the Occupy movement, scientific discoveries, etc.). Things are made up, previously establish facts and rules of the world are disregarded, Agito/Akito has 4 total personalities and is a clone of his mother and his brother is his father, and Ikki manipulates the wind to make the whole world fly.

isn't that enough of a reason to read it?

Trust me, it's not a good thing.

Oh man, I hate it when they do that. Super-complicate things in the last half or third. Im still going to finish watching tho, because I really do like the characters, and the sport itself is just so cool. I know its not the most original sport out there, but it just does it for me. And I love the music, even the opening theme. Maybe the anime will be less of a mess than the manga. I really hope so.

Nothing in that is a series spoiler - or at least one that matters.

Ah well, doesn't matter.
