(someone correct the spelling on this topic argh)
Eh, it was an alright show. And it can't be denied of its fame and impact in the early years of the American anime industry.
Episodes of it used to be shown on SPEED network (some race car channel) late at night several years ago.
I'll probably end up going to see this when it comes out. Just to see how bad or good or mediocre it turns out to be. It could turn out alright but Speed Racer is a hard anime to make a good live-action adaptaion for, even for the Wachowskis (not that hard of a name to spell). If you want good solid live-action anime adaptations, go watch the Death Note flicks or wait for James Cameron's take on Battle Angel Alita.
It'll be interesting to see which will turn out better - this Speed Racer movie or the live-action DBZ haha
Btw, new Speed Racer trailer
