Air Master (Anime)

Air Master (エアマスター Ea Masutā) is a seinen manga created by Yokusaru Shibata and serialized in Hakusensha's Young Animal. The story focuses on Maki Aikawa, an ex-gymnast turned streetfighter. A 27-episode anime adaptation was produced by Toei Animation. The manga ended in 2006 after a 28 volume run.
Geneon signed an agreement with Toei to release the anime series on DVD in the United States and Canada, but as of August 2006 only four discs have been released, and no further releases have been announced.
Its main character is a 16 year old redheaded schoolgirl who, rather than fighting the typical Anime martial artist mold popular with many otaku, is enormously tall and fairly muscular. In addition, the art style has been described as anything from charmingly rough to crude, resembling the more old school fighting manga style rather than similarly themed (but even more fanservice oriented) works, like Tenjho Tenge or Ikki Tousen. In addition, the series itself is a homage/parody of the fighting genre, as well as other genres, which are well hidden within the entire series.
The series title comes from Maki's nickname as a street fighter, a reference to her acrobatic skills. Maki has climbed buildings, executed death-defying leaps, changed course in mid-air, and pulled off multiple aerial attacks.
Plot:
Behind the scenes of the hustle and bustle of every-day life in Tokyo, there exist many people who strive to become stronger by competing against each other in street fights. Air Master is the name given to one such undefeated fighter who is known for her aerial combat style. Her real name is Aikawa Maki and this anime follows her experiences and those of a few other people she has a great impact on.
Maki is a teenager who has lived on her own since her mother passed away a short time ago. The story begins when she is befriended by a few female classmates. When she's needed to save them from some bad guys, the fighting begins. Maki's desire for competition leads her to face ever stronger opponents and find out what she's truly capable of as she strives to see just what will happen in the future.
