The series is about the MC joining the "Secret" world of AT's. I think they are called AT's. Basically they are roller blades with engines built inside of them. Which lets them ride anything. The better rider you are, the longer, the faster you can ride them. Essentially its like a battle manga. In fact it gets a bit weird in the later episodes. But the emphasis is on the roller blades and what crazy shit you can pull off on it.
Now the series isn't some super serious type stuff. Its campy. Its ridiculous. It understands its zone and plays to its strengths and i think it works very well. Most of the time.
Now i liked majority of the characters. Some surprising character development also took me by surprise. As well as various personalities that play off each other very well. I think some of the perverted characters kinda feel out of place. The series is good at building up hype with Dramatic pauses, and dialogue but it sort've cuts that moment short with improperly timed gags or panty shots. Like a little too much.
The action and hype surrounding is fantastic. Every time the music played I sit upright. It gets the idea of hype very well and thats really all i could ask for.
The main issues of this series basically falls down to gags that aren't funny (which are most of them) and ecchi scenes (lets just throw in all female characters here). For real female characters have 2 personality traits. To be in love, Or to be in love with the Main characters. If they are wearing clothes you bet your ass they will be shown naked, usually at inopportune times taking you out the action. I really do wish the author would keep nudity and awesomeness separate. Not that boobs aren't awesome.
If there is any consolation with the fanservice its that it has more nudity than the manga. So its ecchi is objectively better.
But again like i mentioned. The action is solid. The moments are sometimes are cut short but they always pick itself back up. I do think some of the action gets a little crazy especially with the cube. I think some of the characters like the fat midget is really annoying and out of place with this series. But the thing is it takes itself super seriously at times but in its campy way where it doesn't feel out place. The tension is still there. When the main characters achieve there goals it is exhilarating watching that.
It also has this weird love triangle thing going on. Its hard to tell who's gonna win though since neither of them have any sort of presence besides being eye candy so who knows. Is the main character gonna pick the one with comically large boobs? Or the one with the comically large boobs? You decide. You can literally take BBCM (Big boobs common multiple) with all the female characters. It really is a shame how all of them are reduced to this.
There is also an inconsistency issue like how did the Male lead not know about his sisters being into rollerblades but that seems like a minor issue tbh.
Despite this issue, I think the anime gets its message across. Its crazy in a fun way. And thats really i ask for. A fun series, its fine if its stupid if it knows its stupid. I do want to read the manga but im aware of its infamy. So im curious cuz i found the anime to be somewhat crazy as well. But lets see how crazy the manga can get
TLDR: If it took itself more seriously it could have something really special. Fun time killer nonetheless. 6/10
