Welcome back to your trusted anime corner, ready to roll out the freshest news on a sequel we’ve all been waiting for, Air Gear Season 2. Let’s take off into the sky realm and ponder over the potential of a second season. But let’s not forget, even the Sky King can’t chart the course of the future with total precision!
News:
Despite being a fan-favorite anime series since its debut in summer 2006, Air Gear Season 2 is still unconfirmed. Even though the anime has garnered a lot of attention, Toei Animation has yet to disclose any details regarding a continuation.
About Air Gear:
Air Gear, also known as “Sky Road”, revolves around a young boy named Itsuki Minami, who dreams of dominating the world of storm riders with his team, Kogarasumaru. However, without proper recognition or any sponsors, Itsuki finds himself battling rival teams to climb the Trophaeum Tower.
His life takes a thrilling turn when he crosses paths with Simca, a mysterious girl who recognizes Itsuki’s potential as a Sky King. As Itsuki seeks Simca’s guidance to improve his skills, they both become entangled in the world of storm riders, gravity children, and the endless sky.
The Anime Adaptation:
The anime adaptation of Air Gear was produced by the acclaimed Toei Animation, known for other hits such as One Piece, Dragon Ball, and Sailor Moon. The series contains one season for a total of 25 episodes, with three additional OVAs. The first season aired from April 4, 2006, to September 26, 2006.

The original series was directed by Hajime Kamegaki, with series composition by Chiaki J. Konaka. The character design was handled by Masayuki Sato, who also served as the chief animation director. The captivating soundtrack, which added depth to the high-flying action, was composed by skankfunk.
Will there be a Season 2 of Air Gear?
Air Gear Season 2 has not received an official announcement, and the decision regarding its release remains uncertain. The delay may be influenced by Toei Animation’s attention to other ongoing projects. Additionally, a decline in Air Gear’s popularity and less-than-stellar sales may also be influencing factors.
One major issue was the underwhelming sales performance. The DVD sales for Air Gear’s first season in Japan fell short of expectations, with only 1,355 copies sold per disk. Additionally, the anime didn’t provide the substantial boost to manga sales that the production committee had anticipated for a shounen sports title.

Another contributing factor is the conclusion of the manga series. It’s also worth noting that it’s been over 15 years since the first season of Air Gear aired. The long gap and the end of the manga series could be potential reasons for no season 2.
However, it’s important to note that there have been instances where anime series were picked up for a new season after a long hiatus. So, while the future of Air Gear Season 2 remains uncertain, we can keep our hopes alive!
