One of the first "Japanimation" series to air in the U.S., Speed Racer (Mach Go Go Go) debuted in syndication in September 1967. Eighteen-year-old Speed Racer wants to become a race car driver, but his father, automotive engineer "Pops" Racer, "blows a gasket" at the idea. Pops, who designed the amazing Mach 5, relents when Speed demonstrates his extraordinary driving skills. He embarks on a series of fantastic adventures that pit him and his friends against Skull Duggery, Snake Oiler, Mr. Wiley, and the Alpha Gang. With their wide chins, large mouths, and small eyes, the Speed Racer characters reflect the influence of contemporary Hanna-Barbara series, rather than the indigenous style the Japanese animation industry would later develop. Members of Gen-X who grew up watching the original show will enjoy this "collector's edition" that offers the first 11 episodes, a theme song sing-along, a villains' gallery, and an interactive demonstration of controls of the Mach 5. (Unrated: suitable for ages 6 and older: mild cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

 Feels like a ripoff September 15, 2008

I thought this was the new live action movie that came out. It's a bad time to have this on sale. The unbox version also seems to have only 2 arcs. Maybe half of what you get on the DVD.
Bad deal in every way. Avoid this. I rented the Unbox for Tivo

The Real Speed Racer July 6, 2008
Purchased for my 7 yo son and he loved the show. It left him wanting more, he could not get enough.
what a trip July 3, 2008
this is a great dvd! i bought it for my six year old and we watched it together. it was awesome. it was more like two kids sitting on the couch. brings back the memories.
Such A Treat! June 29, 2008
When I saw the DVD for the first time, all the images came roaring back to me! I'd forgotten how much I loved this show until the movie came out and I've seen that 5 times now!
So glad I got all five volumns, the picture quality is so much better than the old VHS tapes my brother has and the price is very resonable!
My only complaint was that I had to buy a new DVD player to watch these on because they are so compact my DVD recorder which is only 2 years old can't play them...but still worth it to see my old friend Speed at it again!
