   Revues


This is Simca. She is cool.

Well, after pimping the awesomeness of Haruhi and Higurashi...

(Recap- The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is one of the greatest animes of all time, hope hope HOPE for a quality dub, and Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni is a beautiful yet creepy-as-all-get-out murder mystery where you get to see your characters kill, get killed, and just generally suffer in the most horrifying ways. Fun for all ages (even the little girls get dismembered :3 )

I have decided to speak on some of the other anime I am loving, currently. First up is Air Gear, by the creator of Tenjou Tenge, Oh! Great.

Review:
Air Gear- Jet Grind Radio with less personality. Well, to be fair you couldn't capture the awesomeness of JGR very well anyway, and they try. Kids roll around on Air Treks, motorized roller blades that let them race, do tricks, etc.
The manga was by Oh! Great but it seems the characters got even LESS love than in Tenjou Tenge. The guys, anyway.
Simca = love. Ringo's cool too, especially as her seeeeecret alter-ego, but Simca has "THE HAT" which is awesome. Hat = love.

Where was I...um, a lot of fighting and racing and such as Ikki, the main character, races to the top. Kind of a lot of pervy humor, and some real time-wasting storywise, but the manga fills you in a bit better. The guys just tend to be so generic compared to some awesome girl characters...again like tenjou tenge, heh, but
as it goes along I think the people start to get defined a bit.

Okay art, good female character designs, lots of pervy humor (and crows covering...naught bits...) but the actual fighting during the A.T Battles are cool. The music is also great. We're not talking on a level like FLCL, here, (although they should try that again sometime, this woulda been a great opportunity) but enough to make you feel like you're watching Jet Grind Radio the anime.

Verdict: Watch it, it's good. Do not be angry that it takes awhile to get going.
