Air Gear - Recommendations

ermeyers says...

Both Air Gear and Tenjho Tenge are anime that have a male protagonist who tries to become the best that he can be. You can sum these series up with two words: action and ecchi. They both also have at least two woman with large breasts around the main character, one of which likes him. Adding to that, both of these anime are created by the same mangaka, Oh! Great. So, if you have seen one of these and liked it, you would definitely enjoy watching the other.

VivisQueen says...

Silly characters and serious combat are the combination that makes both these series so entertaining. Air Gear is all about style, the extravagant finishing moves, the sense of honour to one's team, and crazy humour - and that's exactly what you'll get with Tenjho Tenge. With both you can just sit back, laugh, and enjoy the ride.

kilrothi says...

Both Tenjou Tenge and Air Gear were originally mangas by Oh! Great. Both have amazing fights and beautiful, interesting character designs. There's also a good amount of strategy, and of course the main character who knows nothing about anything at the beginning. And a good amount of fanservice. ;)

KiraRin says...

Both set in secret clubs within school, the characters in both Air Gear and Ten Ten are the cool, charismatic kids you wanted to be when you were younger. Starting from the bottom of the pile, the shows follow the male character fighting his way to become the best in his field.

An abunbance of action, a plethora of panty-shots and a mass of mirth will ensure fans of one will love the other.

Vallenncia says...

Air Gear and Tenjou tenge are extremely similar in many ways. Both have combinations of rookies reaching for the top, love triangles and include so many great supporting characters that help liven up the entire anime ;)

KittyEmperor says...

Both series are all about using style to fight, some rather nice moves, and quite a bit of humor and ecchi if you care about that.  Both series also feature school kids who start out near the bottom and the battles they fight as they try to make it to the top.

hamletsmage says...

High school gangs, girls with epic hair, and ecchi galore. The main character is trying to make his own way, and he's got some strong opponents. Drama, unrequited love, and humor thrown in for good measure, these pair of anime are a good match. 

JohnWatchAnime says...

if you like one you'll like the other, since they both have not so interesting stories, awesome fights, similar protagonist and ecchi stuff

cameronanimeangel says...

Air Gear and Eureka Seven are two shows that I think anyone can like. The both have a love story that you can get wrapped up in as well as character depth and development. In Air Gear it the development is on the main character and his interactions with the ones closets to him and the ones that try to protect him. In Eureka Seven the development of the character comes to life when the world is at war and change is needed to get through the tough times. Both serious have action and sometimes comedy while Air Gear has more of the latter. The emotions that the characters express and feel will hit you the viewer sometimes when you don't even expect it and other times you will. One thing that they both share in common is their ideas on personal transport and their methods. One has you flying around on personal air boards and the other on your own motor powered skates. If you like high flying adventures, love, depth to your characters and a little laughter then watch either one of these shows. There is a small warning as some episodes of Air Gear contain swearing and covered nudity.

isathara says...

Both of these animes are visibaly the same, the animation fairly new, and in many cases the plot is to. Both are about sport-related things to a degree, reffing and trekking are similar sports at time, speed and powerwise. Both animes also have great action sequences, as well as emotional, slightly sentimental parts at times.

cbb692 says...

Both shows deal with tools that are used in order to allow humans to fly. Groups form; one "prodigal" child comes from nowhere and sweeps the world by storm.

tooxmuchxcsi says...

Both Air Gear and Eureka Seven focus on a young boy who is incredibly determined to succeed. In Air Gear's case, it's Ikki, a young boy who just wants to be amazing at Air Trek and in the case of Eureka Seven it's Renton, a boy who has fun by lifting. Both of the series are full of action and maybe a few crushes. They both hae great art styles and are highly recommended.

BrandonHeat says...

Both anime put a fantasy spin on extreme sports, Air Gear is to Roller blades and E7 is to Surfing. Thats the obvious comparison. I also think the the story builds in a similar way with the main characters wanting to live life in there own way. both are very fun anime that makes you really root for the main characters and their passion. If you liked one, you would definitely like the other.

kooltilldend says...

Both stories are about a young boy who is a little naive and is sometimes easily fooled by others...he is however, very very good at what he does best and also has (eventually) a group of friends that truly care for him (and vice versa)...I personally found both series very entertaining, with some tremendous action scenes along with some really laugh-out-loud moments

Although, Air Gear does not have a "proper" ending (the story continues in the manga), Eureka Seven has a very fitting ending (although some may suggest the story could've been a little shorter - it was fine for me though)

Overall, however, there's much to like about both series and despite the obvious differences (story, Air Gear has more ecchi, etc), I personally enjoyed both series and open-heartedly recommend them both.

hamletsmage says...

Both Air Gear and Eureka Seven have fairly young protagonists that learn to use equipment that allows them to fly. For Eureka Seven, that's an advanced form of skateboard. For Air Gear, that's an advanced form of roller blades. Each anime has a wide range of characters with varying motives. Among these characters are the protagonist's families, which hold secrets tied to the plotline. If you like a little action, a little drama, and some comedy, you'll like either anime. 

Makoshe says...

Both Air Gear and Air Master have those mind-blowing moves in the air. I guarantee you that you will love it as I did.

Migandas says...

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.

wickedshizuku says...

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.

jurexplay says...

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.

Jenbu says...

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.

LysnForSound says...

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.

sothis says...

Air Gear and IGPX both have an incredibly similar tone and feel. In addition to being about a high-action and unusual "sport", each has a unique and techno/hip-hop influenced soundtrack. I'd definitely recommend one to a fan of the other.

Bateau says...

Both of these shows are incredible. The each have tons of great action, and a very rare high dosage of character development done "right". I highly recommend both of these shows.

KittyEmperor says...

Both are about sports that while they aren't what you would see in the real world they do hold some similarity to some sports that you see everyday.  Sports that have been taken to something of an extreme and full of action.  If you liked one then you should really consider checking out the other.

narutoshocker says...

Similar style anime. Both focus on the freedom of the ride and both have main characters seeking to find themselves. Watched both. Love both.

Inu230 says...

Looking for a sport you won't find in the olympics, at school, in your typicall neighborhood, or really any place outside fiction? Than these are right up your alley, both animes center around an activity many wouldn't consider attempting or replicating outside of drawings or literature - with an emphasis on the former.

While there are differences in the plots and the likability of characters - this typers byass - these two shows will give you something to think about beyond the phyisical effort required to be victorious.

There's more to life than skating fast or stiking hard but sometimes being the best means crushing your opponent.

Migandas says...

Like the mind-blowing ( combat ) moves? Then you will definitely love this series. Both Ikki and Kenichi have to stuggle with opponents and friends to do what they want, and fight for their own "freedom".

Adrnlne says...

Both series start with your average person. No different from you and me, but once they set a goal on their mind, they stop at nothing until they reach it. For Ikki Sky King, for Kenichi, it's all about protecting others. Becoming Stronger in order to protect the one's you Love.

hamletsmage says...

Both of these animes feature a protagonist whom goes from zero to hero over the course of the anime. Both start out with little experience in their chosen field, but quickly climb the ranks through battles and training. Both anime feature broad casts of characters, gang battles, and plenty of backstory. If you like one, you'll probably like the other. 

Rayray1000 says...

they both are hilarious at times but have some serious parts to them in which the action is amazing. So if your looking for something to keep you interested the whole time and keep you laughing along the way you should seriously watch one of these.

NoOneImportnt says...

Both of the series follow along a path of advancement. In Air Gear each episode is about becoming stronger, and learnning the new world he has found himself in, while History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi follows along the same path, except focusing in on fighting.

AlmightyHanakoChan says...

Both Air Gear and Bleach are about a thug-like male lead discovering a society made up of squads/teams and getting into battles. Sure, one's about swords and the others about some sort of roller-skate hybrid, but the two are actually pretty similar.

wimbley says...

If you like Air Gear or Bleach you'll probably like the other. The main characters are really similar, and even though Air Gear is a much shorter series than Bleach they have the same feel. If you like the down time in Bleach you'll enjoy Air Gear. If you liked Air Gear Bleach will definitely hold your attention.

hamletsmage says...

Both Air Bear and Bleach have a lot of action that will often take steps away from the plot in order to show off fancy moves. There's a bit of ecchi involved, more so in Air Gear than Bleach. The protagonists start out as street fighters with little knowledge of the world that they stumble upon. With a strong cast of supporting characters, these protagonists set some lofty goals. The animation style is also similar, with the characters pulling faces for comedic affect. 

batmannoLuckysocks says...

Both Air Gear and Bleach are very clear cut shounens. Both have a main character finding out he is special, getting stronger, making enemies and becoming incredibly strong in a short amount of time. Air Gear has quite a bit of fanservice compared to Bleach but it is by no means a harem. Watch if you enjoy action anime that has particular emphasis on 'gut' and determination.

Trojohn101 says...

both will wow any spectator they are both enjoyable to watch and both have an interesting cast of charactors they could make you interested with just a few simple words and the plots are easy to understand but very in depth

SeiyaManG says...

Are you a fan of fun? Do you enjoy watching things that put a smile on your face? Well both of these shows have plenty of laughs and will both "show you a good time" if you know what I mean. The stories aren't too similar, but if you're a fan of the action and comedy in one you will enjoy the other.

slavikman says...

If you like the fooly atmosphere around air gear you may also like Tengen Toppa for its cheasynes,

which although you know its cheasy it still moves you to watch ityou should like the adventues behind the plot in this anime

oninosweeney says...

A normal kid, just minding his buiness, gets involved in a competition that he had no clue about. So upon trying it, he quickly excels and gains the respect of his peers as well as the girl at the top of the food chain that he lusts after; if only his bad luck and perverse tendencies did get him into so much trouble.

Even so, win or lose, he's gonna try his best and not take any short cuts to the top, becaise if he didn't give his all, it wasn't worth doing!

So, am I talking about Satou or Ikki?  Why don't you watch the other one and see for yourself.

Oralom says...

Both are about a guy who gets caught in a crazy compition where people fight over something that most people don't usually fight about. Of course the main character is naturally good at it an excells at a crazy speed. Still both Ben-To and Air Gear are highly entertaining.

DaCode says...

If you liked Ben-to then i myself would also strongly recomend Air Gear not that they are totaly the same but they have the same kind of "Aura" and it's one of the most important part when making a recommendation after my mening 

Phenian says...

Both animes are about progressing beyond the main character's initial limitations. The characters are different, but they both end up fighting in groups/guilds/legions over territory. Accel World gave me a vague nostalgia, reminding me of Air Gear a lot. They just each have their own unique flavor.

Raza123457890 says...

There are a lot of parallels with the series. The main character starts from nothing and wants to get faster and fly, there is also a similar competition/tournament thing going on.

JohnWatchAnime says...

Air Gear and Accel World share that people can fight when they challange eachother. But instead of using an armour in a videogame they use rollerblades 

JohnWatchAnime says...

Both anime have a similar set-up by rank. Kings rule over groups and they fight with each other. 

KingArthur13th says...

Both series revolve around a set of kings ruling over certain terroritory and groups that fight amongst each other. The major difference is that the main character of Air Gear, Ikki actually takes part in the fighting where as the MC of K, Yashiro does not. While K is more superpower based, Air Gear is more based around extreme physics.

zerowires says...

Extreme personalities defying physics and the finding ways to blow your mind. Attractive men, clueless morons with high hopes and lovely ladies, it gets you sitting on the edge of your seat cheering for more.

Definitely both are binge worthy, like Pringles. Can't stop at just one episode.
