Description

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). 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.

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).
