What if roller skates had high power engines that enabled the skaters to do stunning new tricks that defy gravity? What if you saw a beautiful girl effortlessly glide through the air with them? To Ikki, this is reason enough to secretly borrow a pair of Air Treck skates, and step into an underground world filled with gang fights and strange customs. Enamored with high-flying stunts and the flirtatious Simca, Ikki forms an Air Treck gang of his own and starts a life of fighting rival gangs and flying over the rooftops, chasing the girl always one kick ahead of him.

add recBoth Air Gear and Air Master have those mind-blowing moves in the air. I guarantee you that you will love it as I did.
Like the mind-blowing ( combat ) moves? Then you will definitely love this series. Both Ikki and Maki make wonderfull moves in the air. If you like the one, you will like the other.
Both of these animes display extreme competitiveness. They have similar humor that keeps you laughing for hours. Great intro and outro songs. Plots and storylines keep your adrenaline constantly pumping. These animes are great to watch while you're working out.
Some crazy action and fights, trying to prove who's the best. Yea, that's what both of these anime are bout. There's almost none similiarity in terms of plot but the action makes up for it.
Both series have similar feel to them, utilizing the street for combat, both using aerial combat and swift movements. The main characters are also similar as they have to fight their way to the top.
Both of these anime emphasize almost super-human physical skills that seem amazing and yet just-about within grasp realistically, adding a great touch of realism to skills performed that just look stunning.
They are also about self-discovery through performing a certain art, be it futuristic skating or street-fighting, as is the case here, and emphasize friendship and self-improvement.
Both anime are really quite great, and should be watched together, methinks.

add recBoth series are about fighting redheads battling their way to the top. The fight scenes are intense and very unique. Each of the stories have quite the depth and structure and the characters are all rediculously interesting. These could quite possibly be at the top of your action/fighting anime list after you start watching.
Looking for some serious beat'em up anime where bare-handed martial arts are more important and thoroughly considered than your average lame 1000 episode long anime?
Try this one and you won't regret it!

add recViolence has a rhythm of its own. In Tenjou Tenge, the rhythm is the struggle between two groups in a high school obsessed with martial arts of every kind. In Air Master, a different, more individualistic, approach is taken - yet the struggle is no less intense.
Sounds dreary and serious, doesn't it? Well, forget about that! Without giving up the element of drama and descending into parody, these are two of the funniest fighting anime you're ever likely to see. The battles are a joy to watch - they're in turns hilarious and stunning. If you like either of these fighting animes, give the other a chance.
If Air Master is about street fighting, Tenjho Tenge is about school fighting. It is more violent, the plot is harder to understand (especially if you don't read the manga and/or watch Ultimate Fight), the heroes are not that diverse style-wise and tend towards swords and ki-empowered fist attacks, but TT is anyway probably the most similar anime in this genre you will ever find.
Air Master and tenjho tenge are both great fighting anime with added ecchi. Tenjho tenge's main characters (the teenage boys at least) start off as typical delinquents then get strong, but air master's Maki starts off pretty strong, then pulls off crazy new moves to defeat her stronger opponents. Both have great fights, plus ecchi and some light comedy(mainly air master, it had some good funny moments XD) If you liked one, you should like the other.
