Description[edit]

Speed Racer is an anime series made by Tatsunoko in the '60s, that made its way to the United States (which was, at the time, a rarity). The series was originally a manga, written by Tatsuo Yoshida.

Stateside, Speed Racer would prove to be highly popular, to the point where it would become a pop culture icon, with toys, games, and various merchandise, and even a film adaptation in the Noughties (reviewed hilariously by Nostalgia Critic and Bennett the Sage here).

The English dub is well-known for its fast dialogue, which was originally done in order to synchronize with the lip movements of the characters (who were originally animated with Japanese in mind).

Further Information[edit]

Main Source for Poopers[edit]

Most of the episodes are available on YouTube

Trivia[edit]

  • In Germany, the show was pulled after 3 episodes due to complaints about violence.
  • In the '90s, the show rebounded in popularity after a re-airing on cable.
  • Partly inspired the visual style of the Matrix series.
  • Why is the Mach 5 numbered "5"? In Japanese, "Go" is how you pronounce the number 5. Since the Japanese title is "Mach Go! Go! Go!", the Mach 5's number is actually a pun on the word "Go" (which is used in the English sense in the title).
  • Danielle Pluzsik has stated that her dad watched the show when he was a kid.
