it's gonna be fun to talk about the ova's for one of my favorite manga. The kuro hane ova's are like a small glimpse of what the air gear anime would have been like it or got the second season it deserves. It's an underrated manga series and could use some more fans. These 3 ova's sum up everything there is to love about the series.
The first episode adapts the chapters concerning the fight between Ikki and Ringo while the two proceeding ones adapts the inorganic net arc. A strong sense of tension and action is ever present and the fights are quite exhilarating. Viewers who have not read the manga may be confused by the plot I enjoyed it even more when I didn't know what happened next. I watched this anime before marathoning the manga so all those cool scenarios and drama just sparked my…

The ova in air gear was amazing. I think it was made just to see how people would react to the ova and see if they wanted to animate the second season of air gear or not. It will definitely answer some questions for those who haven't read the manga but it will add a lot of more things to air gear where unless you read the manga you won't have any idea what the hell happened.
Story: 8
I am speaking strictly from the continuation of air gear it answered some things but still have lots of questions for those who didn't read the manga
Animations: 9
The animations was so much better than the previous anime but it could still be even better (might be because I have high standard in animation)
Music: 9
The music was very good and it was on point with the show, however I liked the music from th…

Let's start with the positives. The art, is gorgeous. If you've read any of the manga you'll be pleasantly surprised to see the art style is more similar to the manga than to the air gear series itself.
I thought the sound was also pretty good, great voice acting and good soundtrack.
Unto the negatives? Plot? What plot? Everything was so rushed and hectic I ended the anime in more confusion than when I'd started. Character development? If you're into shallow, this is the OVA to watch, they don't touch the characters. There's no time! It would have made more sense to just make a season 2 or a longer OVA at least.
I still enjoyed some moments though, some made me laugh even though I wasn't sure what was going on, and the art was great to look at. If you've not read the manga, this will…

I watched the Air Gear anime years ago, but then later learned of a manga, so I read all of it and loved it. I'll clear up a few things for the people who haven't read the manga.
This OVA is basically a random part of the story, many chapters after the anime ended. The art is really close to the manga art as well, so that's why it's different from the original anime.
After watching the OVAs again, I just wish they remade the entire anime, and continued it to the end.
Pretty cool to hear and see Kururu in an anime for the first time.

I really enjoyed these OVAs, the thing is they are way out of context. If you just finished watching the anime, read the manga until you get to this part otherwise you WILL be confused by this. If you read and follow the manga all the way through you'll understand this. Air Gear is a great manga and anime, but if you want to get the full enjoyment out of this you have to understand it, so i recommend before watching these catch up to the point in the manga before watching the first OVA, the next 2 OVAs jump like 80 chapters after that.

So... here is a short review:
I personally think, that the art wasn't that good... I expected much more from the anime that took my hear away *crying* but it didn't meet my expectations.
Story: Okay, the story wasn't bad... i mean, it just follows 2 battles out of the manga and so for many neutrall viewers it may seem like some "Amazing Fight"
Overal: As a fan of Air Gear i will give 10 (because they diserved it) and say one thing : Except for the art that was some crazy ass fight. I rewatched it severall times and it's just the best. I can't wait for the second season (Oh god, please give them money so that they can make it!) because just this 3 OVA (especially the 2nd and 3rd)

ahhhh Air Gear: Break on the Sky.....on one hand, I like the fanservice, strangely, and found the battles to be quite enjoyable....on the other, I despise how poor the story is, how strange the are characters, and how this seemly came out of nowhere.
Air Gear: Kuro no Hane to Nemuri no Mori or more awkwardly known as, Break on the Sky, is a collection of 3 OVA's that take place after the storyline of the animated series...I think; it looks like it is supposed to be more in tune with the manga which would explain why it didn't make a lot of sense.
Essentially, it is about Ikki and his team, Kogarasumaru, trying to enter a tournament that will help them to reach the top of the trophaeum. Ringo, as a member of Sleeping Forest, is now an enemy of sorts, and the team, for some bizarre reason…
