Airmaster: Difference between revisions

 

A [[Seinen]] [[Manga]] series written by Yokusaru Shibata that was then made into a 27 episode anime. The anime is notable for it's lead being a [[Huge Schoolgirl|extremely tall, muscular redheaded schoolgirl]], and actually animating most of its scuffles, to the point that stuff like story, plot or motivation comes second place to the fighting. The unusual art style borrows a lot from the 70s, with some fans disliking or liking for the exact same reasons.

* [[Action Girl]]: Maki, Sakiyama Kaori and quite a number of minor characters.

* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Due to ''a lot'' of over the top violence, hilariously long-winded speeches about fighting and other exaggerations, many fans view the series as a [[Homage]] to other series of the same genre.

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Mina.

* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Mina. She always seems to be getting kidnapped or in the middle of a very bad situation.

* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Far too many street fighters seem to become Maki's friends after she beats them up. Bonus points go to {{spoiler|Julietta who received one of the most physically painful "Let's be friends" speeches ever witnessed.}}

* [[Determinator]]

* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: Maki. Because every other character, including a couple of girls, seem to be chasing after her.

* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Kinjiro.

** [[Meaningful Name]]: Maki can mean roll.

* [[Fan Service]]: Played with. There are some [[Panty Shot|Panty Shots]] but not a gratuitous amount (as is usually found in similar series), and only at logical times.

* [[Fight Unscene]]

* [[Gag Boobs]]: Also Mina.

* [[Gecko Ending]]: The anime finished three years before the manga. Last episode much?

* [[Idiot Hero]]: Maki

* [[I Know Madden Kombat]]

* [[Jerkass]]: Yuu causes quite a bit of trouble for her friends -- especially Mina -- for no apparent reason other than seeing them embarrassed.

* [[Kick Chick]]: Maki.

* [[Statuesque Stunner]]: Maki herself.

* [[Tournament Arc]]

* [[Unknown Rival]]: Sakiyama Kaori (you have to say the full name).

** Although this is subverted by the end of anime.
