Air Gear

If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Air Gear is available on streaming right now. The 1-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. 61 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Kenta Kamakari sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Available now — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Air Gear is worth clearing space for. Air Gear gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Itsuki Minami is a school student notorious for engaging in street fights, a reckless punk that will break through any obstacle, alongside his best friends Kazuma Mikura and Onigiri. However, when he discovers a pair of Air Trecks his true desire to rule the skies takes off. The chemistry Kenta Kamakari and Mariya Ise bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It first aired in 2006. What keeps Air Gear from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Air Gear. If you have already watched The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse, Air Gear is a natural next step. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Kenta Kamakari is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.

Air Gear wrapped up in 2006 — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
