It is time to show my age with this topic. One of the first Japanese Cartoons I watched was Speed Racer. The series animation looked cheep even back than but it didn't bother me due to the drama being played. The main character Speed is as simple you can get he want to go fast as his name would suggest. The most memorable episode to me was the devil car known as GRX. A car said to have killed five drivers even its creator. They made it very ominous. I had hoped they would put it in a movie. Speaking of movies, I found the Speed Racer Movie cute for having a Wacky Races vibe and making it future cars. I felt that missed a point and put unneeded exposition. This series was known for overwhelming exposition that it was laughable but it seemed some parts of it failed to get. Speed only wanted to race and did not changed much. The nickelodeon series that supposed to be a descendant cluttered itself with bad hi-jinks to be wacky and there were no epic challenges or anything worth mentioning about.
