Are you sure it's scheduled for this spring?

What about the driver from Black Lagoon who is always high. He's hilarious.


He was only in two episodes, so not really a main character. I agree Though.

Phew, managed to finally pick the five(after a 'short' trip to anichart...). Is it just me or are there a LOT of shows the coming season?...

Also, it might be a bit early, but I'm placing my bets on Re:CREATORS picking up the torch from Hand Shakers...


Doubt it. It's the Aldnoah team, so even at it's worst, the animation will be on point.

Outside the obvious big shows, I'm really looking forward to Warau Salesman for some reason. I like horror anthologies, so the plot is catching my interest.

On the other hand, Hand Shakers was by the K team...

Yeah but K was never that great to begin with, outside of a few good fight scenes. I imagine Go-Hands is bleeding money at this point after three straight misses.

It's not slated for April, I betting October but it's supposed to be sometime this year.

I do like the inclusion of Rin from the much under-rated Rideback. I was sure the Gunsmith Cats' Irene or Kaneda from Akira would make it on this list for owning two of anime's most iconic super-charged vehicles, though. Redline's main character also got the shaft here.


It was hard to choose Bean over Rally Vincent but his abilities at driving edge ahead of hers.

Kado: The Right Answer (Seikai Suru Kado) also seems to be missing. That one's a CG project by Toei.

Of course there would be a lack of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.

I don't remember any getaway driver in 5D's. Maybe some helicopters, but those characters are unnamed.


Yeah, as far as the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's that I know, most of the Duel Runners are racing or just dueling while riding motorcycles for no real reason. There doesn't seem to be as pronounced a driving skill component in these--how well they go depends on how well you can duel. There was one duel where Yusei was trying to escape from an elite cop who specializes in Duel Runner riders though, under the contrived idea that losing a duel disables a Duel Runner so he'd challenge criminal riders to duels and beat them.

Y'know, I clicked on the thread just expecting that someone would mention Lupin and/or Jigen driving up and down cliff walls in "Castle of Cagliostro"?


Lupin is a thief who does his own driving but he's not specifically a getaway driver.

I know I'll be watching Beserk but I didn't vote for it. The sequel just wasn't up to the standards of the original.

True but he's generally the one whose driving the car whenever a chase with the cops or the bad guys comes up. In the series he's considered one of the best drivers in the world.

Thaaaank you.

I guess you could rationalize it if the list were limited to people who were part of thieves' gangs, but if you're looking for the fastest car on the road, it's probably a pink Batmobile. I mean hell, at one point Cougar provided a getaway car that he wasn't even driving. Very Happy

Speed is probably the driver listed here that might get the most speeding tickets were he real.
