Air Gear - Trick 16

Rating: 8/10

Crows: 0 (omg?)

So Air Gear turned serious again. There was only a few funny portions of the whole episode, yet I was still enjoying it and anxiously awaiting what tragic turn of events might present itself for Team Kogarasumaru. Not a bad episode at all, but I’m sure next episode will be MUCH better since this felt like it was setting the stage rather than delivering the goods.

Agito/Akito is getting more and more badass as the days go on. He’s turning into quite the superpower and could probably hold his own against Ringo. That’s kinda scary…

I loved this part, when he grabs Ringo’s tongue and says its “wagging too much.” I was like “hoho she just got told!” Not that I don’t like Ringo, in fact I love Ringo, but I thought it was just an awesome moment and something you don’t see done often.

Side Note: Don’t try this at home kids, it’s extremely hard to grab someone’s tongue. I’ve tried and failed miserably.

Yay! Basically the only fanservice of the episode was Ringo in her Croissant Mask uniform. Part of her swimsuit gets ripped which may cause nosebleeds, but no crows. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. I would prefer less crows and more fanservice! Yeah!

So apparently this “Team Behemoth” is “really good” and can “kick major ass” but that doesn’t stop Ikki from smashing their awesome hilarious-looking bicycles into pieces with a wrecking ball…LoL. This actually got one laugh, yes ONE laugh out of me. It was like a burst of air escaping from my mouth that I was saving for a funny moment. Too bad it didn’t induce any more laughter than that. Sad.

Hey pretty boy, you don’t look so badass to me. Go pop ya collar some more and come back when you’re stronger. I guess he’s super strong but we’ll see next episode how Akito fairs against him. They both sport extensions (he has chains on his wrists) from their bodies so maybe that’s the secret to everlasting, incalculable power…

And then of course, the team getting ready to plunge into “the Cube” or whatever crazy/scary name they called it. I’m really looking forward to the next episode.

This episode was a LOT more serious than I had hoped for, but it did it’s job. I actually enjoy the AT fight scenes almost as much as the hot girls, so to me it doesn’t really matter. As long as they pull some crazy shit out of their butts and end up victorious, I’ll be happy. Although, that seems highly unlikely, but it’s gotta happen somehow. Serious, but enjoyable. Not so bad!
