Well... What can I say...

Well I'd say that this is EXACTLY what I would have expected from Oh! Great: Random ecchiness and a failed attempt at a story...
That said, the story this time isn't as horrible as one would think, it's mildly entertaining, so I guess if you just want to waste some time this isn't a bad choice. But if you are searching for something captivating... continue your search.
Edit: Forget what I said about the plot being entertaining. It fails pure and simple. As always.

Excuse the Bashing

I would like to point out that if you guys based ratings on mangas from the beginning of the series you get no where. Air Gear at the beginning is a bit boring and repetitive as an ecchi series. Sure I admit I just read it at first for the art, being it was done by O!G, I assumed it would just be art whole. Of course unlike most of these people who rated it lower, I actually went a bit further than they did. I discovered it was actually an opening to what would open to Minami Ikki as he would venture out into a much more chaotic battle to become a king of one of the roads (read if you ant to know what I mean bigrazz) Battle Styles are great with lots of in-depth action. As a part of the scanlation group doing this you may think it's a biased rating. But I had been reading Air Gear and loved it a 100+ chapters before I even started. There's a lot of series out there that get easily boring (One Piece, Bleach, Naruto of course, this is in my opinion) but it goes to show if you stick with it, it'll turn into something Oh! Great.

For those of you who criticize the storyline, you simply haven't given it enough tie to develop. Yes, some of it can be predictable, and it is very true to the shonen style, but later on when guys like Gabishi and Yoshitsune come into play it gets much more interesting.

...........WTF happened to this

Welll lets do this and some small spoilers below............basically there are so many problems i dont feel like saying them all, all i can really say about this is that it was a great manga in the beginning with amazing art and an interesting story with funny characters. although the art just keeps getting better the story gets way worse (id say mainly after he starts being storm King) the it just gets confusing and eventually all the author does is make several and i mean SEVERAL metaphoric sequences with his characters doing random unexplained Things. Dont get me wrong they do get the story in a good place several times but then they go right back to the confusing random stuff with more and more metaphors. i basically read this to the end because of how i used to like this and how amazing the art was; but i can only recommend this if you dont care too much about the "story/dialog" cause it got lost in this manga. ESPECIALLY the last 100 or so chapters that lose most of it sense and story to Metaphors and randomness again. The only thing i wanted by the end was some answered questions/mysteries and a future ending where you see who ended up with who and what became of every one, it didnt have to be years in the future it could have been just after everything but you didnt get that you just got a few random pics of all the characters saying and doing different stuff. if anything i learn from this and Tenjou Tenge (his other series i was reading that went exactly the same and i mean EXACTLY) is that in both he had a great story in the begining but now a days Oh! Great (author) cant keep up a story to save his life and cant end one to save his family. i really liked these two series and i cant stand the way they turned out and how he butchered them. i only gave this a 7 cause i did have some good time with this in the beginning and the art is still really great

The emotional roller-coster of Air Gear

Rating: 8.0  / 10.0
His idea for the manga was excellent. let's make a manga about roller blades. But he lost control of the story (as usual) around chapter 150 or so. After following this since the anime and continuing from the manga, I thought that this might be pretty cool. Both story and art work was great. As I was reading this from the continuation of the anime, there just seems to me the story was just getting dragged on and on and it made it confusing for me at times, but it picks up a bit near the end which I'm kinda glad the story ends at volume 36. I find Air Gear my favorite creation by Oh Great! But, he REALLY needs to get better at his storytelling. =.=

Seriously, how hard can it be to make something comprehendable. Currently at Vol. 14 (heard it gets even worse), and I have no clue what's what. The setting's interesting, and I have no problem with the super-powers that is starting to appear. Wouldn't have*, rather, but it feels so off when compared to the earlier volumes which was based more on fringe-science.

Regardless, the main thing he needs to work on is STORY-TELLING. The quality of it makes his name seem like a poor joke. Bah. Bah. Bah!

I can't really see how this got to 30+ vols in Japan unless they were all about flash without substance and the "nudity" (not even any frickin' nipples?! Weak).

(Is it easier to comprehend if you're a Jap/fluent in it?)

At first I read it to see what all the hype was about...but man is it boring. In the end, I had to drop it. Too much unnecessary dialogue. Sure, he battles many opponents but it gets too repetitive. Most of the time, I literally just flipped through pages without reading the dialogue.

Thank god it's over, and Oh! Great proves again that he has NO CLUE HOW TO END A SERIES.

lol. What a crack smoker. I swear he gets bored at the end and just start throwing random shit in there in order to fill space. Thank god it's over and I can pretend it ended 200+ chapters ago. God this series sure got boring and stale and weird.

What amazes me is, even though here you can read many diss comments, this shit still has 36 volumes and is ongoing. So, I won't say, just because it's popular it must be great but, if you like amazing drawings, awesome battles and cool powers, you've got it. If you're for stupid feelings and rofl situations, you got 'em. If you get off on mindless ecchi, funny sometimes and actually really cute, you got it too. This manga is packed with good things (and I haven't told the whole list yet). So, if you're just passing by and looking for a good manga to pass time, you got it, and then, it's up to your own judgement for the whole story-line because though it may be good(in my senses), it's true it has some quite fucked up point. But judging a whole 36 volumes for a few points is like Hitler nitpicking about skin-color, hair-color and the such.

I loved it at first but now it's just confusing as hell. Not saying it's bad or anything but you will have to think really hard when reading any of the newer chapters.
