Growing up and learning about anime, is what I think is the best thing to ever happen to a developing kid. For me I was a rumbustious, wild kid, I was longing for the taste of adventure and thinking of ideas out of thin air like I was in a different world. Seeing anime was like, seeing a new look on life for me. Getting to see all the characters talk and interact with one another like I was watching from the side lines. Now you understand how I feel about anime, lets go into why I love this anime so much.
Air Gear is about the life of Itsuki Minami,"Ikki",(also known as "Baby Face" and "Lil (Little) Crow") and his friends. The story follows their use of Air Trecks, an in-universe invention derived from inline skates. The early parts of the story carry out the introduction of characters that eventually join Ikki. (From Wiki)
Why I think this anime should be at top with the great like FLCL, Chobits, and Fruit Basket is because we can all relate to it so quickly. It's about a kid who wants to go against that the worlds wants to tell you, or what the world wants to shape you. Growing up this made me so happy to see him over come so many people trying to stop him from what he believes in himself, to sore great heights and to counter the playing field is something of like power rangers. You know he can win, its just how is he going too, that what so many people love about anime. We can relate to this in such a easy manner, it just takes a little bit of work to see it in that light. Lets say, you know what you want to do for college and your about to get out of Highschool. Just like the Lil Crow he says the road, like how you see what college you want to go to. Its about how you get threw it, and meeting/Seeing the People along the way. But I think I didn't have to tell you that, for you to understand that life can be so relatable if you understand anime.
I think this brings back the 90's fashion, and color but more darker and gray. (Talking mostly about the anime, haven't read the manga sorry) How they use 90s colors like blue, orange, lime green, yellow, but just all dark in the anime. Witch I love the style, but this could have been just due to the coloring style back then so we have no way of knowing this was done on purpose, nevertheless, one of the best coloring choices. Looking at the art style fits well during its period of time. Half-Skater, then Half-90's feeling really good, Mostly there dressed up like Delinquents, but I like to believe its something to due with the 90's. Anyway, I think this part can just explain itself to you how to relate, you can just put on the same cloths as Lil Crow and live life like he is doing now. The High road, the Winds taking him, riding life by its wings, he want to go as high as he can to be number one and I think we all can say the same. We want to be number one at something right?
It take hearts in matter of seconds if you give it the chance to let it, you must at least like some type of under dog, because that what he is. That what we are, someone who is the under dog and wants to rise up. They to claim something for there sells, and getting to the end of it no matter what it takes. To be known and respected for there achievements, that is what Air Gear teaches you. There good comedy in between, and some lewd scenes (Not too bad) I think its the best anime for someone to start anime. This is something that is not talked about more on YouTube, so I made a YouTube video about it go check it out. Thank you for reading this, much love.
