[Anime] Air Gear: THE GRINDING

I know the one, its the same as Johen mentioned, its Chain, the opening song, theres about 3 or 4 variations of it they used in the show that unfortunately are missing, but like Foshi said, it has pretty much every other song they used.

Hopefully at some point we'll see them but in the meantime we've got the rest of the OST that Johen was good enough to upload.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Its when Akira is going to the helicopter and Simca is talking to Spitfire

I really really want that song, if anyone has it, post it here please?
Also, can someone link to that full version of Chain? The link i followed on the earlier page was dead or something o_o; Thanks.
And yes Air Gear rocks! Reminds me so much of JSRF, i'm gonna wait to read the Manga, at least until this season is over.

Thats another variation of Chain playing in the background, as I said before they have a number of them, none of which came out on the OST.

Heres the full version of Chain though for anyone that didn't have it.

Chain - Back On

How ya doing, buddy?

Could you post it for us? I think we all really enjoy that sound and would love to have it in Mp3 form ^_^;
From the looks of it, Episode 21 isn't out yet.

I'd like to 2nd this if you wouldn't mind uploading them.

I like pretty much all the tracks, though I'm not as big a fan of Anthem 4 Pipe Dreams.

Sky Grinder, 2 Blind 2 See, Mad Babies, Mr Shine, Rock From Da Bottom are my favourites, with Fly Da Mission heading the list as my favourite by far.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Chain variation, courtesy of Hiku. So, yeah, thats one down. Thanks Hiku.

I was speaking idiomatically.

But looking at their team list, I only see 3 kings.

Spit Fire - Flame King
Nue - The Thunder King
Nike - Gem King

Then there's Yoshitsune - Rumble King, but I don't think he joined the team until a while after Nue asked Ikki to lead Genesis.
So who are these 4 kings Nue is refering to? Perhaps he was refering to Sumeragi Kururu's Pledge king of Tool Toul To?

And who is this girl, and whats the story behind her?

~Edit~
Oh yeah, I can't post URL links..
Well I was thinking of the girl who has some sort of ports all over her body, and it seems Nue is the same.

The Pledge Queen I think. I'm just going from what I've read though, but I'm unsure as to whether they are a part of Genesis or are a neutral team that helps kings regardless of what Team they belong to.

Most amazing jew boots

Yes, 25 is the last episode of this season, just finished watching it. It was interesting they didn't touch some of the tracks from the OST and used some there were not on it.

Oh, also, as to the questions regarding there being so many kings. Yoshitsune (Rumble King) mentions in this episode that while there may be more than 8 kings, only 8 of them are closely related enough to the sky to be able to ascend the top of the tower with the Sky King.

The path of the Wind King is the purest and therefore only someone who was the Wind King may become the Sky King.

Overall though, I did enjoy the series. The animation wasn't incredible, but I thought that the music suited the show perfectly. Hopefully they'll get Skankfunk back to cover any other seasons or OVAs they end up doing.

FELIPE NO

well i heard there's an air gear movie coming out? is this real?

Not that I've heard of. Also, I say we turn this into Air Gear manga thread now that the anime is over.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I was browsing through Play-Asia looking for some DS games and came across this.

So, we finally get the missing tracks.

Also, has anyone been keeping with the manga? Its been picking up a lot since after the Devil's 30-30.

Spoiler:

The entrance of the new generation of Sleeping Forest, the tuning team and its given a lot more depth into the history the Kings and Genesis/Sleeping Forest. And Sora planning to go into rehabilitation so he can stand again.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Stoptazmo is where I get mine. They update every few days, or you can grab them straight from the actual Air Gear forum.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Chapter 118 has been released on torrent here.

For those thinking about reading the manga, I really did enjoy the anime series of Air Gear, but I have to admit that the manga is head and shoulders above the anime.

If you do want to read it but want to watch from where the series left off, grab all the eps from 90 or so and you'll be good. And it completely takes off after 30-30 challenge.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The fan service is sort of extreme to the point of you get sick of seeing it, but it does drop to a more reasonable level later on. Well as far as Oh Great! standards go anyways.

I'm actually tempted to buy the dvds.

Did they carry the music across or did they change it?

My only rant about the dub is why Spit-Fire was given an accent.

This might be easier if I could just get a link, if you don't mind posting it.

Also, Air Gear chapter 120:

Spoiler:

Ringo fucked Simca up hard.

And Sora is still awesome. I'm really hoping he goes through rehab and manages to start walking again.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Where did you get chapter 120?

The Air Gear boards on Stoptazmo. Chapters usually go up a couple of days before they officially go up on the website.

FELIPE NO

Chapters are now out up to 126 and god damn they are good.

Spoiler:

Kazu has been one of my favourite characters for a long long time, ever since the episode in the anime where he raced against the Sabel Tigers so its good to finally see some more depth, rather than the pessimism. And the artwork is as outstanding. Plus we finally get some insight regarding the betrayal of the original Sleeping Forest, what happened to Sora as well as a conclusion to the Om battle.

The tracklist is excellent, its pretty much everything that was missing from the first we wanted.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks a lot Johen.

Anyone seen the new chapters up at Sleeping Forest?

Spoiler:

Ikki and Ringo finally face off.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
