It has been about a year that I have waited trying to get the money saved up tp buy them all at once, and I am so excited to say that it was well worth the wait. I would recommend anyone who wants to buy the Speed Racer tv series to do so from this seller. I do not know if you can tell how long someone has watched an item, but if you could you would know that I have been watching all of your dvd's since I knew that they where sold on Amazon. The quality and condition of the videos where awesome.

This is a great purchase as you cannot buy classic Speed Racer in the stores now in my area.

The final volume of Speed Racer episodes

These final episodes include the unmasking of Racer X and Speed's world championship race. During these final episodes, you can see that footage has been re-used more noticeably than it had in earlier episodes, and that plot ideas were recycled a little more at this point. It seemed like the Japanese writer didn't take the time to think the story all the way through in these last two episodes. Also, the final two-part episode ("Race Around the World") is full of plot holes. Even with the re-used footage and recycled plot ideas, I would still recommend this DVD to a Speed Racer fan, especially for one who wants to have the entire series on DVD. Between the re-used footage and recycled plot ideas, it was pretty clear the Japanese studio was ready to "call it a day" for this series. This disc contains the final eight episodes of the Speed Racer anime series. While some of the plot holes were created by the American dub, many of them were created by the original Japanese studio.

I remember these episodes from when I was a kid and now my kids are getting turned onto them too which is a kick for me. Another great season of Speed Racer. If you like Speed Racer then you will love this disk and it is a must have to complete the series.

Of course it was. That's what made it so fun. How can you not love something like that. You could laugh every time Racer X showed up and the narrator reiterated that he was Speed's older brother, Rex, in disguise. This series was a lot of fun when I was a kid and is just as much fun now that I'm all grown up. The funniest thing is Speed was usually the one in distress and not Trixie. Was Speed Racer campy. Then there was the way they spoke almost too fast to understand.
