Reception Both the anime and manga have gained a lot of popularity, both in the east and the west.[10] Anime News Network rated Volume 1 of the manga, 'B', saying "Make no mistake, Air Gear isn't high art (in either the literary or artistic sense). What it is, is entertainment. And sometimes that's all you need."[11] BlogCritics said "It mixes this action and comedy quite well with a storyline that doesn’t fail to leave a reader wanting more."[12]. The anime has often been criticized for not remaining true to the manga, and skipping parts out. The English Dub has received positive reviews since it's release.[13] AnimeOnDVD said "The concept of the show is one that is pure anime though and something that visually can be done very well"[14]
