What the story covers: Ex-Driver is set in the future, when all transportation is easily controlled by AI. Though like all machines they tend to break down or lose control or re-programmed.

Soon after, this is where three high schoolers with non AI cars, Subaru WRX, Super 7, Lotus comes in to save the day and make sure the public is safe at all times.

It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 6 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.4/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Yumiko Kobayashi as Soichi Sugano, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 2000, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
