| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, just finished watching episode, noticed better art compared to TV series and change in voice actors, previous voices seemed better, atleast for me. Too bad they didn't show the rest of the Kogarasumaru gang. |

| The after credits was funny...and for some reason it feels like Ikki's "inside house" voice doesn't fit at all. The battle was awesome though the deciding winner still leaves me like "AHHH Why" even from when I read it the first time. It feels like they didn't focus on Ringo getting hurt from her Regula till the very end. Imo it would cause more of a effect from people if they slowly showed her taking damage from it instead. I hope they do a OVA on the Jet battle as well! |
 |
| I want more! It was too good. |
| Dunno lol, but i asked my group about doing this. Got left with a bitter taste in my mouth as it would take too much time to gather encoders and timers. But hey, AG is well known series, im sure someone will pick it up. As for the anime, it was great, but i think they, on some occasions, made little too visible the usage of too much CG. |

| aeon has white/silver hair? good ova. looking forwars to the next one |
| Meh, only hardcore Air Gear fans who read and enjoy the manga can truly enjoy this. The art was better, but it just lacked the feel that the original anime had, but I guess the poor direction the manga took is to blame for that. |
| At first I hardly was able to recall this episode from the manga but as it went on, I slowly remembered the whole zombie fake regalia thing. I have to say it was a pretty good OVA and dam Ringo is such a tease. Kuru-girl (ugh keep forgetting her name) isn't as appealing as when she is in the manga. Ah well, awesome scenes, I wish a season 2 of this quality would come out instead. |
    |
| So badly done but w/e, rather stick the the manga. On a serious note, what did they do to Kururu ffs; the seiyuu is so bad and her hair is meant to be blond damn it. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| From what I remember Kururu's here IS supposed to be pink not blond, it was in one of the color pages. The original anime was so shit in compared to the ova, original anime wasn't an anime it was just colored pages of the manga put together, at least the ova had a better feel to it, 2nd season in this quality would be so much better. >_> |
 |
| I just,,,what happened with all seiyus,,,,their voice really sound off place...even Haruka Tomatsu cant replace old Ringo... |

| Kururu's adaptation is disappointing.. |
 |
| I loled. let's just see if they can make the 2nd OVA more interesting ヽ(´ー｀)ﾉ |
| It wasnt what I was hoping.. but still it was interesting and waiting next episode xD |
 |
| And they cramped every awesome things into just 25 minus episode? Most of all they skipped the explanation of the use of Sonia Road. All the new seiyuu were really bad, specially the one for Sima she seems really off of her character. As for Ringo and Ikki's they were somehow acceptable after a while. And Both, seiyuu and anime they did not do any justice for Kururu character at all. Only the moment she repair the wing regalia which gave her a little shine other than that she is just a side character in this episode. Well they would have done everything right and awesome if they just followed the manga everything. I can't say I want to complain that much since I got to see that KISS >_< NEED A SECOND SEASON OF THE SERIES AND BLURAY OF THIS OVA. OR MAYBE THEY SHOULD REMADE THE WHOLE SERIES AND FOLLOW MAGNGA. |

| Just watched it, but I made sure to have reread the matching chapters first. It was okay, the animation was good, but they shouldn't have tried to force it all into 1 ep or at least not in such a short one. Because they left out lines and made some situations way too short, I felt like I was watching a 28 minute summary/recap. It's logical you can't completely follow if you haven't read the manga, since it's like in the middle of the story, but this is too much. If I hadn't reread the chapters, even I wouldn't have been able to follow the story in this episode. They left out parts in such a way it lacked consistency. The current score of the OVA is 8.01, which I honestly can not understand. It's not a complete failure, but it doesn't deserve it. I also miss the skanfunk music guiding the TV series, really loved that. oh right, one more comment: what's up with some of the colouring? Aeon's hair, as mentioned before is probably the best example. Both in manga & tv series he obviously has brown hair, why the hell make it white :s |
| I love it, ofc this is only for air gear geeks. If you'r not and still thinking about seeing this just gtfo :P |
| I'm big AG fan and i have to say they rushed too much we waited years for the OVA, we could have waited a bit more why the hell did the push everything into 1 episode.It would be so much funier to see the party and Aeon panicking face. Alsoit started too random at least the could have shown a little recap 2-3 minutes. And they gave Ikki(no offence) but what's with that gay voice it's more or less shoking. That was the bad stuff, despite all this fouls the episode was better than the original anime at least i think so, and i enjoyed the last scene although they did leave Agito out of it. And we finally got to see the so call KISS~ (Kyaaa) (rofl). Well iit was prety good entertaiment. |
 |
| i waited quietly for this and finally its out well and yes it wont be the only episode as it seems |
 |
| Only a good watch if you've read the manga. My friend watched it with me and he had only seen the anime and we had to pause over 5 times so that I could explain what was going on. That aside, I personally really enjoyed it as I have read the manga. If you were hoping for a season 2 type OVA then you'll be very disappointed. |
 |
| I need to catch up with the manga so I can understand what just happened because I was confused but i'm glad to see that Kururu hair is officially pink and not blonde like others believed. |

| It sort of felt like the OVA was missing something. I thought that the OVA would have more of an effect on me, but it just seemed like some parts of the OVA wasn't as 'strong' as I thought it would be. I really loved reading these chapters, and there were some Ikki and Ringo scenes that were done very well, such as the end of the race, and before Ikki left the house. After the credits was funny, didn't expect Aion not to be wearing any pants :P |
| me demand s2!!! ^.^ |
     |
| I agree with most things said here, to reiterate a few... "It's for hardcore AG fans" - Duh, i didnt see any explanation making it accessible to none hardcore fans "It was missing something" - IT WAS! it didnt have the feel of the original despite having better art work and sound Personally, i really enjoyed it, it wasnt perfect, and hopefully they'll work on the flaws of the first for March's release. But it was still good to this bit animated so beautifully :) Hope we get to see more from the storm king as opposed to the wind king soon And finally i leave you with this... What happened to Aeon's hair?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! its been brown for as long as i can remember, why did he suddenly become old? |
 |
| I havnt been reading the manga and I watched the series and I thought it was fantastic and it left me beggin for more. 9/10. I would love a season 2. btw. |
 |
| Never watched the Air Gear anime series, but enjoyed the OVA. Think I'll check out the series now. |
 |
| God I wish A T's were real T_T.The animation and the way they move was much better in this ova. |

| whoops. Totally thought Kururu was Simca. |
|
| I enjoyed the OVA. It was fun. But I will say that I wasn't expecting much. And I was confused early on as it's been forever since I watched the tv series and have only read a few volumes (and that was long ago too). |
 |
| dem exploding clothes!!!!!! x) |
    |
| I wonder why... it's just.. slightly off, this OVA. (They should've done a LOT better on Kururu. -.-) |
 |
| this OVA reminded me of why i fell in love with Air Gear in the first place. those beautiful skate moves they do, seriously it's like combining figure skating and cirque de soleil in anime form. the change in voice actors i can get use to and i liked Kururu on this episode. and i don't know if anyone noticed, but near the beginning half of the episode Simca answered "She's my older twin sister." to Ikki when he asked about ringo (I HATE HER). was it just a typo from the subbers or did they change that fact from the manga? because I Do Not Like It at all. I definitely Like It (4.5). would have loved it but my hatred for ringo is just to much |

| the animation was good but: when did Simca's eyes turned purple o.O and Ikki has a stupid face and is never serious~in the OVA he looked completely different! and i miss Kenta voice soooo much T.T and that Kanon boy was pretty hot XD.Why the hell didnt put him in anime T.T AND I DIDNT SEE AGITO AT ALL DX |
| good ova but little short imo they skip some important parts. |
 |
| Incomprehensible, in every sense of the word. |
 |
| How long this OVA will be? Has anyone know a number of planned episodes? |

|
| I would have preferred season 2, but this is good too. The battle animation really brought the manga to life, which is a bit of a feat considering how good the manga is at showing motion and action. But...but...where's the Skankfunk music??? D= |

Citrix said: Watched the OVA and thought I missed the season 2 of this series...The OVA seems so far ahead from where they left off in the anime series =/ This. Considering that I haven't read the manga and have only watched the anime, where should I pick up in the manga to actually understand WTF is going on in this ova? |
| Having not watched the anime and only read the manga, I don't have the same complaints with it being different from the anime. I expected that it will skip over a lot of details but I didn't think it was this many. But what I was looking for in this OVA was not the details but the fight, which was done good, and the KISS, which was awesome. This OVA was bundled with the manga so I think manga readers would be the only ones to understand and enjoy this. Sadly, this is one of the few fights left that was really good in AG before it went downhill fast. Hoping the next episode would be the next big fight in the top of the building that was awesome. |

| anyone care to explain what Ringo was doing on the bed? ;D and what side effects does she normally get for using her regalia? |
