Finished Watching Air Gear and Hajime no Ippo

I recently finished watching Air Gear, unfortunately the ending was not too good due to it being so short. I might take a look at the Manga seeing as that is extended but they only managed to air the vital episodes that shows the plot and storyline.

Hajime no Ippo was brilliant I managed to watch the movie as well. Hajime no Ippo is all about boxing, a guy that gets picked on the usual standard plot so I figured it would be boring. But the technique and the history of boxing that they use is spot on and very well done.

Air Gear

Synopsis
To say that Itsuki Minami leads a good life isn't exactly accurate, but he does live an interesting one. His buddies know him as "Babyface", the strongest punk in his school and the fighting linchpin of the Eastside. His parents are gone, but he lives with the four Noyamano sisters, an arrangement that any hot-blooded young man might envy, were it not for the outrageous abuse they heap upon him. Overall, not a bad life. That is, until the day that his routine existence is turned on its head after some rival punks sic a very nasty gang on him. Afterwards, while at the end of his proverbial rope, the Noyamano sisters extend to him an unexpected helping hand, introducing Itsuki to a new technology with unusual hand-to-hand combat applications: Air Gear.


Air Gear is a sports/action Anime. The main character Ikki finds a mysterious girl riding roller-blades. The roller-blades aren't just ordinary wheels, Air Gear has its own physics to the Roller-blades on how it all works which makes it an amazing Anime and a believable one.
