"He's going over that cliff ahhhh" *Falls off cliff*
I heard. 😄
OAHHHHH
*sees X3*
OHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The live action movie is a hidden gem. It's literally a live action anime and it's amazing!
Agreed!
There are some pretty cringe-worthy parts, but it really is something incredibly special, relevant and emotionally impactful. The editing and cinematography are also revolutionary.
Hell yeah someone else who likes the film
No it's not, it's not even made by the Japanese. 😕
@@ElricSowrd calm down Weeabo Jones. You do realize that Shrek is an anime right? Just ask someone from Japan
Unexpected, but not unappreciated.
"Unknown to Speed, Racer X is actually Speed's older brother Rex Racer who ran away from home years ago!" - the line the narrator repeats any time Racer X appears in an episode.
If you do not want to feel annoyed by the Dub Narrator's Commentary watch the Subbed Version. But unfortunately kissanime and 9Anime are the only places you can find the Sub Versions
You can buy a $300 collectors Edition on the FUNimation website or wait until December and pay $150
Why is speed racer suddenly invading everthing i watch...
It's weird, right? I hadn't thought of Speed Racer since the 90s, then I had a dream recently where he was in it. Naturally I go on CZcams to look up the theme song, etc. and the algorithms dump me here. But "here" is no old video, it's less than a week old! Where's all this Speed coming from?
Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer~
He's a demon on wheels~ ^^
He’s a demon and he’s gonna be chasing after someone
Go speed racer, go speed racer, Go Speed Racer go!
Man this take me back. First anime I watched as a kid.
He's going over the cliff. Ahhhh!
Only real ones who seen the original speed racer dub would get this.
Jumping onto white base
AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
This was the first anime I've ever seen. Reruns during the 90s
Speed Racer is such a classic to me, I even have a Mach 5 toy xD
- V.D.
I'm 22 but this is actually the 2nd ever anime I watched (the first being Pokemon), It's actually really good, the dubbing is so bad that it's hilarious though.
That was on purpose - the writing and dubbing of SPEED RACER was intentional.
Watch Mach gogogo. It's more mature dialogue. Only downside is it's really hard to find. Funimation accidentally trolled by putting out the blueray and saying it had both Japanese w/ English sub and the dub but that was a lie
I met Peter Fernandez around 1990 and in his voice dubbing panel he revealed that Tatsunoko only provided a translated script for the first episode. They would go from having the film cans arriving from Japan to dubbing an English vocal track in 48 hours! Keep in mind that the English episode would air in America before the Japanese version aired in Japan.
The Live Action movie is probably the only live action anime adaptation that I not only enjoyed, but actually like more then the source material.
One of my dad's favorite shows as a kid. Good episode
Kinda funny that everyone has seen an anime once in their life lol
My Dad loved it too
First anime I ever watched. I never even knew it was an anime at the time.
Just 1$
I forgot that speed Racer was my first 60s anime and my first sports anime. And probably my only sports anime, because I don't much care for it. But I remember I love keeping up with the story of speed Racer! And even though I didn't totally love the movie, The visuals and the writing stage true to the original mood except for how they handled Racer x.
A True Classic.... :)
A true classic indeed.
the show my dad talked about where everyone in his class loved it so much
Oh god, I used to watch this as a kid.😆
shame the attempted reboot anime failed and never got its second season it hinted at
Lyceaos You mean the one at 5:08, or the one with the “Safety Seven” version of the Mach 5; the one with Aero Jacks, Emergency Wires, Balloon Tires, etc.?
At least Next Generation managed to wrap up neatly.
"Did you know? The origins of Speed Racer can be traced back to World War II."
OOOHHHHH
I think Speed Racer could make a good Cartoon Comback in the Modern World, The Movie is so Underrated.
Speed Enters the shot
Announcers: ITS SPEED RACER DRIVING THE MACH 5
Great narration, Jonny. I seriously need to check out this anime.
Will there be a Speed Racer crossover. With Initial D or Wacky Races? There should be.
Speed Racer did cross over with Yatterman.
and then there was that time when Chim-Chim appeared on Yatterman Night.
Thanks so much for doing this video!! 💖 This anime means the world to me right now.
Great video, thanks! I came here after watching a video clip on the IMdb page for Gigantor of Fredd Ladd discussing picking up Gigantor for the US, which I watched as a kid in the 1960s. I was so enamored of that show that I sought out expensive VHS copies of it in the 1990s! BTW, Speed Racer was syndicated in the US, I also watched it often as a kid growing up in NYC.
Suprised you didn’t mention that the original english voice actor made a cameo in the live action movie.
If they had crammed all of the tidbits of Speed Racer in this video, it would've ten-times longer...
I suppose so. I just thought it was worth mentioning, even if it is just a small thing.
I remember when I went to see the movie, after the credits when the house lights came on, I was the only person in the theater.
*_Go Speed Racer Go!_*
Another random fact back then they called anime back in the days japanmation or something like that.
American fans and journalists used that term to explain what it was, simply, back in the late '70s/early '80s, until the term "Anime" no longer had to be explained as "Animation from Japan."
@@augustragone1159 Ah I see thank you for explaining it better.
@@zombieslayer095 Huh I never knew that. I kinda thought it was use around the 60's and 70's but thanks for telling me anyways. ^^
@@zombieslayer095Unless one lived in a cave, that term was phased out by the early 1990s.
@@mc.gemstone it was coined in the late '70s and was completely phased out by the very early 1990s.
Hey, Tatsunoko! That other company that versed Capcom. Great game too. I think it's better than 3 and infinite.
I'd like to see the people that made "Voltron: Legendary Defender" do their own take on "Speed Racer."
I could see that working really well
I'd be down for that.
No.
oh my God that would be amazing holy shit
Im currently tweeting at the Director of Legendary Defender hopefully he responds
Totally remembered this watching it with my brother along with the movie and Dexter episode.
I can remember watching Speed Racer in the early seventies in the mornings while waiting for the school bus
Speed Racer is still a classic anime series. I even went to a comic book convention and saw a custom sting ray corvette of the Mach 5. I was stunned. Although it didn't have the gadgets in the car, I was lucky to have a ride in the car itself. Years later, I saw another version of the Mach Five, but this time I wore my Speed Racer cosplay out fit and got my photo taken. The series celebrated it's
50th anniversary last year and Funnimation has released a head bust of Speed with the classic series, uncut japanese version and the never before release to the U.S. Mach Go Go Go in 1997.
I constantly have an inner debate with myself if Speed Racer or Silverfang (Ginga Nagareboshi Gin) was my first anime that I ever watched. After a while of thinking, I am starting to believe Speed Racer was my first. I first encountered Speed Racer on Amazon Prime with the "Speed Racer Movie" (No not the 2008 one) But the one that had both The Race Against The Mammoth Car and the Car Hater episodes in it. I loved it even though I noticed some problems with the Anime as I was watching it the first time but I found it very charming and still do years later. I remember watching the Speed Racer: The Next Generation on Amazon Prime as well and loved it. While the animation didn't age well in that series I still find a lot of charm in it even though in my opinion it did a little too much towards the end of the series. My favorite episode of the Next Generation is Fast Track, it's very fun. I feel like the Speed Racer movie is over looked and I know I am biased because I used to watch that movie a lot as a kid and still love it. I think the 2008 Speed Racer movie knew what it was and went full throttle with it and it's a very fun and cheesy movie. I saw a bit of the 90s Reboot Speed Racer and The New Adventures of Speed Racer as well. I grew up with Speed and have very close nostalgic ties, so when I see those Speed Racer out of context videos and Speed Racer is a Sociopath videos I laugh. I laugh and say "yup, but I still love him," but that's the thing, I can describe the whole Speed Racer franchise with one word and that is charming. I love Speed Racer despite all of its flaws and it will always be a childhood classic to me.
Do yourself a favor and watch Redline.
I love speed racer
Speed racer is still an classic anime series. 😀👍
Speed Racer: the Next Generation:3
I love Next Generation as much as I love the OG series and the movie. Hell Next Generation has Captain Terror as the main antagonist for most of it. Captain Terror, Zile Zazic, was the leader of the Car Acrobatics team.
fascinating insights as always
Nothing's gonna stop the Racer except bankruptcy.
I loved Kimba and ya boi Speed thanks for making this!
My family uses the phrase "to Spridle and Chim Chim" to mean hiding something in the trunk of a car
My uncle on my mom’s side loved this show growing up. She herself preferred Kimba the White Lion.
My mom and dad loveeeedddd speed racer it had spread runs in Ecuador in the mid 70s
theres also a Big Black EP and song called Racer X about Racer X
Nice piece buddy 👍👍👍
I keep wondering why Tatsunoko's logo looks like a horsea
The studio's name has a double meaning: " Tatsu-no ko" (Tatsu's Child) is the ancient Japanese name for "Seahorse"; the studio founder's first name is Tatsuo (Tatsuo Yoshida).
@@augustragone1159 Oh, I've always loved how in Japanese, names mean different thing depending on the kana, that's pretty interesting, thanks.
@@FernaMedel I think you mean kanji
Speed racer best anime ever
Do ashita no joe next
Hey I was just watching Speed Racer AND Mach Go Go Go. Thanks to Funimation Now and "He's going over that cliff", but why didn't Funimation just do both Versions of the Anime? 😕
Can you guys do Golion/Voltron next?
They have mach gogogo English sub? I've been looking everywhere to find it. Only found a website to watch 10 episodes
@@stevangonzalez5908 I said " Why didn't Funimation just do both Versions of the Anime?"
You can only find the English Speed Racer on Funimation Now. 😒 As for Subtitled Versions I know a couple: KissAnime and 9Anime.
@@ElricSowrd shows how much I pay attention 😅. I'll check em out, thanks
@@stevangonzalez5908 Don't mention. Just keep it a secret, you never know if someone will shut them down.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Tatsunoko, hear me out. Racing RPG game similar to Square's Racing Lagoon set in Speed Racer Universe.
DYKA Nadia Secret Of Blue Water. I beg you to make one on this amazing underrated anime
First anime I managed to watch.
It has nothing to do with why I’m studying engineering at school ;)
I'm expecting either a Mach 5 or Mammoth Car in the future lol
The Mammoth Car.
Best Arc in the series.
some random trivia if you play the pc game shadow warrior in one of the levels is a speed racer easter egg
*the movie is amazing*
Do Gatchaman next
I'd buy that for a dollar!
I’ve never watched Mach GoGoGo sadly. I just don’t know which version to watch.
I've only ever seen the original, I think it's really good actuallly. The dub is from the 60's and it's technically pretty bad but I actually find it rather charming, I'm sure the subbed version is higher quality though.
For new viewers I recommend the original japanese since the American dub didn't have any translation of any kind and the writing was done based on what they saw in the episode. So with this, there is a lot of continuity errors such as villains returning but being called different names. Still I love the english dub since that was what a Grew up watching on boomerang and cartoon network. I should mention the recent blu-ray re-release is dub only (contrary to what it says on the box) and the only version with official Japanese subs is the limited edition one which is over 150 dollars last I looked.
@@mattwolf7698 The original English Dub is written and acted *intentionally* - so, it's not "technically pretty bad." It's technically good, with campy dialogue and voice acting - again, all intentional.
For new viewers I recommend the dub. Yes it's meme-y, a bit cringe, and yes, Spritles voice when crying sounds like a dying cat being nailed to a chalkboard, BUT the characters are good, the story well done, and the action 100% UNCESNSORED! Yes, there are guns and blood uncensored in the Funimation English Dub release of Speed Racer, as well as the names are just so damn funny to me. "Ace Duecey" that's all I have to say about the names.
I used to thought that this was a Hanna-Barbera cartoon as a kid. The artstyle and the dub intro doesn't help, as well as the lack of internet back then.
It was a time when anime wasn't really that distinct from Western animation.
Do initial D
Anyone hates Trixie's Nightmare ?
Speed racer x was the shit
Did you know Speed is dead in Yoru no Yatterman?
Wow, a dollar bought a lot back then...
0:09 is that a JoJo reference or a speed racer original?
thats the original its part of the original intro :>
so the creators of speed racer are actually westeraboo. no wonder 1967 Speed Racer feels so western and HanaBarbara-ish.
Do hellsing
Did you know? Speed racer is a psychopath
Speed Racer 2008 is amazing. Bad stuff, sure, but amazing. Change my mind.
Damn, Jon sounds so bored.
The dude that bought the rights was responsible for that joke of a live action movie? The brothers' writing/take was so *terrible.* I did not want to be reminded of that movie haha. Fantastic video though, thanks for covering my first/my dad's favorite anime ever!
Sorry they could have done a better movie depends on directors
The movie was fine.
Did you know that the anime sucks?
Did you know that if it weren't for the Speed Racers English Dub, anime would never have taken off in the West? It was the first Anime to be transferred to Western Audiences and it was a hit.
@@megaman37456 i dont watch anime
@@PeakoftheApex Well then your opinion of "the Anime sucks" is invalid. If you don't watch anime then clearly you've never watched the OG series.
