About IGPX

Here is what IGPX (IGPX Immortal Grand Prix) is about, retold in plain terms: a drama, mecha and sci-fi anime by Production I.G and Bee Train (2005). In short: In the year 2048, people are raving about a fighting race called “Immortal Grand Prix”, or IGPX in short, which is faster and more exciting than any of the existing motor sports. The phenomenon is so big that an entire city was built for the racing industry where competitions take place on a huge track.

Further in, in the “Immortal Grand Prix,” two teams of three IG machines, high-tech humanoid mechs driven by humans, race at speeds greater than 400km/h. The teams make three laps of a 60 km course while intercepting the opponent as they vie for a first place finish. The best machine performance, the best pilots and the best teamwork are the only factors that can make them the winners.

In a drama series like this, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Voice work is led by Kouzou Mito as Takeshi Jinno and Akeno Watanabe as Liz Ricarro. This one is best suited to viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. The run is 13 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Production I.G and Bee Train, so the studio's house style defines how IGPX looks and moves on screen. Because it leans on drama, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. With a 6.6/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Kouzou Mito voicing Takeshi Jinno gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2005, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
