Unless someone actually lived through it, they'll never know just how great anime shows like this, Astro Boy, Gigantor, Kimba, Marine Boy, and American TV shows like Batman, The Green Hornet, Lost in Space, and other shows from the late 1960s (most of which have been mocked and demonized by today's society), really were, and how they helped shape the morals for the kids in those days, who went on to become decent citizens. It was a different time.

@millyb2326

I haven't seen speed racer but I do find it interesting that a show this bizarre is so nostalgic for people who grew up with it in the 70's. Nostalgia is a powerful thing!

@BrandonHilikus

Nostalgia for me as well it wa showed on a car channel here in canada so even being born in the 90s it was still nostalgic for me.

@wintermagebarthow8481

I grew up on Speed Racer, somewhat enjoyed aspects of the live action, and routinely play the Anime theme song in my head while in traffic. The best way to watch Speed Racer/Mach GoGoGo is an episode or two at a time on the way out of the door to work. You cant binge everything. Racer is fun; featuring frenetic feats of fantastic flagellation , unparalleled driving skill and a chimp. What more do you need? Oh yes the most iconic car ever!

@Skyskysky92

I knew what I was getting into when, in one of the earlier episodes, the first episode of a two-parter literally ends in a cliffhanger (over an active volcano).

@bobsamurai

my big hangup was expecting something to progress with the Masked racer or maybe the Mach 5 getting new abilities. remember the one episode where the guy copied it, added a laser gun and wings? they could have reverse engineered it and added those features to the original.

@theautisticfilmmaker1944

Speed Racer is one of my favorite classic anime of 1967. Along with Birdie Wing Girls Golf Story is one of my newest favorite sports anime of 2022. And, please, BobSamurai, you need to do the review of Lagrange The Flower of Rin-ne real soon, you got that!?

@JustN0tMe

I saw this as a kid on Cartoon Network (it had to be the only anime on that channel 🤔)
I barely remember a thing about it😅

"Imagine how confused were the japanese kids watching this?"

Well, I'm portuguese(a kid at that time) and this aired dubbed...in English 🤣

@Calloflunacy

really refreshing to come back to this and see someone be objective about the absurdity of old school speed racer. but man, that goofy show really did stand the test of time.

@bobsamurai

just wait for my Judo Boy review tomorrow, it's even more absurd
