DVD Reviews of Speed Racer, Vol. 5

DVD Review: Awesome
Summary: 4 Stars

I do not know if you can tell how long someone has watched an item, but if you could you would know that I have been watching all of your dvd's since I knew that they where sold on Amazon. It has been about a year that I have waited trying to get the money saved up tp buy them all at once, and I am so excited to say that it was well worth the wait. The quality and condition of the videos where awesome. I would recommend anyone who wants to buy the Speed Racer tv series to do so from this seller.

DVD Review: Classic!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great purchase as you cannot buy classic Speed Racer in the stores now in my area.

DVD Review: The final volume of Speed Racer episodes
Summary: 3 Stars

This disc contains the final eight episodes of the Speed Racer anime series. These final episodes include the unmasking of Racer X and Speed's world championship race.

During these final episodes, you can see that footage has been re-used more noticeably than it had in earlier episodes, and that plot ideas were recycled a little more at this point. Also, the final two-part episode ("Race Around the World") is full of plot holes. While some of the plot holes were created by the American dub, many of them were created by the original Japanese studio. It seemed like the Japanese writer didn't take the time to think the story all the way through in these last two episodes. Between the re-used footage and recycled plot ideas, it was pretty clear the Japanese studio was ready to "call it a day" for this series.

Even with the re-used footage and recycled plot ideas, I would still recommend this DVD to a Speed Racer fan, especially for one who wants to have the entire series on DVD.

DVD Review: Speed Rules!
Summary: 5 Stars

Another great season of Speed Racer! I remember these episodes from when I was a kid and now my kids are getting turned onto them too which is a kick for me. If you like Speed Racer then you will love this disk and it is a must have to complete the series.

DVD Review: Remembered fun returns
Summary: 5 Stars

Was Speed Racer campy? Of course it was. That's what made it so fun! You could laugh every time Racer X showed up and the narrator reiterated that he was Speed's older brother, Rex, in disguise. Then there was the way they spoke almost too fast to understand. How can you not love something like that? The funniest thing is Speed was usually the one in distress and not Trixie.

This series was a lot of fun when I was a kid and is just as much fun now that I'm all grown up.
