Few post before, I said that I’m determined to study hard for these few months before SPM. But, before facing SPM, I have to face July monthly test and SPM trial exam. So, instead of studying alone, I invited PeiFeng, ChoonYong, HwaZien and JuShuen to study with me. Don’t you think that group studying is more fun and effective than studying alone?
Photo of PeiFeng and ChoonYong (holding highlight pen) studying on my bed… yah.. my room is small…
They agreed with my idea… wow.. usually they will agree with: “Hey, go cosplay..” Don’t think that we only go Cosplay play oni.. We also do group study. hehe
Thanks to my friends, my results for the monthly test surprised me… increased 40-50% than usual… of course, their results also increased…
I’m planning to continue this study group project… to save PeiFeng and ChoonYong. lol..
Minami Itsuki (Ikki), is a student and a delinquent. Also known as the “Unbeatable Babyface”. His friend, Kazu is the leader of the youth gang by the name of “East Side Gunz” (Hikatsuganzu). Upon his return home after being humiliated by a Storm Rider team called the Skull Saders, Ikki discovers a secret of his benefactors, the Noyamano sisters. The sisters belong to a group of Storm Riders who go by the team name of “Sleeping Forest”.
Learning the sisters’ secret angers him and he steals a pair of Air Trecks (AT). Ikki eventually settles his grudge with the Skull Saders, but in the process he receives more than the simple satisfaction of revenge. Determined to experience the sensation of “flight” for as long as he can, Ikki is quickly engaged in the mysterious, irresistible world of Air Treks.

Story
One of my friend, JuShuen recommended me to this anime. He said that this anime is very cool, about roller blading, well, motorized roller blades, Air Treks (AT). So I give it a shot and I just finished watching this series few days ago.
The first half of the anime is about introducing the characters and Air Treks, but to my surprise they don’t properly explain some events such as what is a “Parts War” or AT battle or whatever, but they leave the explainations to later episodes… Well, I don’t really know why they’re doing this but this leaves a lot of question marks on my head when I’m watching the first half…
While in second half, the story is getting more and more exciting. Yeah, yeah… Sometime I’m laughing myself because the story is just too great… Ah, I forgot to mention about the comedy of this series. “You’ll definitely get blasted.” This sentence explains all…
Unfortunately, this series is too short, counting 25 episodes total. The story ends after Ikki defeats ”erm.. (I forgot the guy’s name). I can tell that this story has very high potential, they can expand the story more longer until nowhere… too bad they choose to finish the series and I don’t hear any news about second season. Quite dissapointing…
I’ll have it rated: 34/40
Animation
Studio: Toei Animation
Year: 2006
Type: Series
This anime doesn’t have much fancy Computer Graphics… just pretty normal… Well, Yeah, I’m pretty dissapointed with this issue cause I thought that 2006s anime should be using lots of CGs already.
but no worry, Toei Animation isn’t completely not using any CGs, they’re have some in battle scenes, whoa, pwnage.
Despite not using the latest animation technology, Toei still manage to produce such marvelous anime, what can I say more… salute. But i dont know whether they’re doing this in purpose… or.. they already do their best.. lol.. anyway keep it up Toei..
I’ll have it rated: 25/30
Audio
Music Production:
Marvelous Entertainment
Opening Theme(s):
“Chain” by Back-on
Ending Theme(s):
“Sky-2-High” by skankfunk
Insert Theme(s):
n/a (mostly remix-es of “Chain”)
Firstly, the Opening song, “Chain” is da best. Kind of hip-hop/rap/techno style… and most of the insert songs are consist of remix versions of “Chain”. Meanwhile, for the Ending, instead of animation, they use real-life-enviroment as the Ending, make it looks like we’re riding on the Air Trek, but, I dont like the ending song, “Sky-2-High”.
As conclusion, selection of music is very suitable with the anime, it rocks!!
