DVD Review: Speed Racer, Volume 5 sees the end to a true classic!!.......
Summary: 5 Stars

Picking up where Volume 4 left off, Volume 5 of Speed Racer careens around the corner and up to the finish line with the last 8 episodes of the classic series. While I don't applaud Lionsgate for stretching things out to five volumes, I will applaud them for giving us fans a chance to collect the series on DVD so I can share it with those near and dear to me.

The last eight episodes have got to be the best, most imaginative episodes of Speed Racer I've ever seen. Speed goes up against a car acrobatic team, motorcycle apaches, & a car that can think for itself. Trixie and he join a junk car grand prix, Speed and his friends use everything they can find to transform the Mach 5 into a hydrogen-powered dirigible to go for help when their plane crashlands on an island going to a race, as well as Speed racing in a global race.

I really enjoyed the conclusion of the show's last eight episodes. I really wish Speed's adventures could have continued way back then. I loved the show when I was a kid and I still love it now. You'll love it, too!!!

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.
