About Speed Racer

If you are hunting for a new action series, Speed Racer (マッハ ＧｏＧｏＧｏ) deserves a look (1967). The setup goes like this. At its core: The Mach 5 is one of the fastest and most technologically advanced race cars built by man. Equipped with various gadgets and a formidable engine, it provides a challenge for anyone who would dare race against it.

As things develop, the driver of this amazing vehicle is Gou Mifune, a teenager who dreams of breaking into the world of professional racing. In spite of this, Gou's father and the creator of the Mach 5, Daisuke Mifune, does not want his son anywhere near a racetrack. Undeterred, his girlfriend Michi, younger brother Kurio, and Kurio's monkey sidekick Sanpei become Gou's biggest fans as he sets out to become the greatest racer of all time.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Go Mifune, voiced by Katsuji Mori, leads the cast you will follow most closely. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 52 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Tatsunoko Production is the studio behind Speed Racer, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. Within the action category, 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 Katsuji Mori as Go Mifune, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 1967, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
