 Go, Speed Racer, Gooooooooooooooooooo! June 10, 2008
Aaron R. Reed (Brockton, MA USA)
My only complaint is the original Trans-Lux credits and Speed Racer logo replaced with that uninspired '80s logo. Otherwise, the DVD plays fine and seeing one of my childhood pleasures again is of so good! :)
Speed Racer episodes 1-11 May 31, 2008
Paul Jutras (Florida, USA)
Those of you who have been enjoying Speed Racer The Next Generation on Nick Toons network are sure to love the these classic origin adventures of the original Speed Racer with the first appearance of such characters as Crusher Block and the car acrobatic team. Also interesting to learn how the true origin of Speed brother Rex and Speed's beginning as a racer compared to the live movie that hit theatres in 2008. Though I don't recall the original Speed actually ever doing the 180 reverse thrust car move that his son does people are sure to enjoy the secrets of the Mach 5 being reveal to a new generation of viewers. For those who do enjoy the special features on this disk I also suggest Speed Racer The Movie DVD which came out in 1993 and has a wonderful commentary track with the voice actors.
Speed Racer the first volume May 31, 2008

I guess I have always been into Japanese anime, since I was a little kid and now I am into the new anime. Speed Racer is an adventurous cartoon that my whole family grew up with and is glad we found the DVD. The new Speed Racer does not match up to the old, sorry to say.

Can't go wrong with a Speed Racer DVD in your collection. If you're a Speed fan, this will bring back the memories.
 A few issues but decent May 29, 2008
David Carlin (Philadelphia, PA USA)
Those of us who grew up with Speed Racer know the theme music for both the start and end of the show. The episodes are of good quality and faithful to it's era. However The opening sequence is different. It appears during the remastering process they superimposed a new logo that is digitized. It is noticably different and sloppy a bit. Also the same thing was done with the ending credits. New Credits were digitized over what appears to be a copy of the animation at the end. The animation sequence at the end looks like a 3rd or 4th generation copy. My feeling is that they lost the originals for this. Also the Trans Lux original logo in the beginning is absent as well.
Still at this price it is worth checking out.
