Customer Reviews

Go! Speed, Go!

Well I'm not one for doing huge reviews, or writing them much at all outside of official gaming reviews, but I felt after reading this package I should. Speed Racer here is a fantastic compilation of the world of Speed Racer as intended by the creator. The cartoon took quite a few liberties, had some unique episodes too, but it left gaps including things about Rex, Racer X, Trixie, and others. This covers it all and does it in fine fashion. The box set really gives the true impression of what was intended with Speed Racer and ties up the loose ends and other bits that didn't quite make sense but as a kid you would have accepted. I admit this is something that is made all the better if you watch the cartoon, but standing alone it's outstanding too and works as a fantastic loner piece or compilation with the cartoon. This is a must read for Speed Racer fans.

Nice set!

This arrived in good shape and it was well received by the children who never have seen anything like this. I picture this being a collectors item someday!

It's about time

It's nice to finally read the uncut (as far as I know) manga of Speed Racer. There are some differences from the Anime, but I like both as a fan. The only disappointment was the last chapter in the 2nd Manga. The artwork felt rushed and drawn poorly compared to the other chapters. Other than that, I enjoyed reading it and admiring the artwork. I hope they release more Speed Racer (Mach Go Go Go) Manga.

Speed Racer at it's original Best!

Arriving in a stunning two-volumed, hard backed set, with slip cover, this edition is perfect for the die hard Speed Racer Completist, or a great starting point for the novice. Collecting the original Japenese manga with english translation, I have to say that I am as pleased by the presentation as I am with the material. The original artwork is gorgeious, and it is refreshing to read works with such charm, which seems to be an element lacking in the more modern, complecated, and uber violent world of Manga.
