Came in expecting Red Line at #1 and was not disappointed.
Speed Racer is definitely one of my favorites and still holds. Would be cool if it got a remake in tone of the recent Yatterman. |

Between it getting snubbed here and in the international co-production lists, either you've never heard of IGPX or are pretending it doesn't exist.
FYI, the terribly dated CGI is one of the best parts of Initial D's first season. Gives it a certain charm. |

There's this one racing anime that I've heard of; apparently it used to play on the scifi channel in the '00s, took place on an orbital track, and the g-forces were extremely intense. Does anyone know what this was? I've been trying to look for it

There is indeed nothing one can say against the sheer velocity of Redline. Any notion of restraint is left far behind the absurd escalation of the film's principle contest. Sadly the film itself becomes fungible and forgettable for this very reason. With little room for anything beyond haste and horsepower, one could watch a great many other action films for an equal effect. It is like a toboggan flume or water slide—there is little that binds the participant's affections to a particular descent in a way that could not be attained by something similar. |

Extremely disappointed with that Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds is not mentioned, one of the best SPEED!!!! Show I have ever experienced (sorry, speed racer and redline, I still love you).

Thank you for getting Rage your Dream (ED for Initial D) stuck in my head.

I have not seen any of those. I guess that I am just not a racing fan.
If I made a list Future GPX Cyber Formula would be on it. Actually it would probably be the whole list because I cannot think of anything else that I have seen that would qualify as a racing show. I did enjoy GPX, but for the characters not the racing. It has been a long time since I watched it but I do plan to watch it again, someday. I probably would have watched it again already if it had been dubbed. As for the current poll I voted no answer because I do not know who those brothers are. |

It's only 10-15 minutes long (depending on cut) but Yoshiaki Kawajiri's Running Man deserves a mention. Maybe just as a spiritual predecessor to Red-Line.
It was shown on MTV in the early 90's as part of Liquid Television and probably propelled many an impressionable youth into an anime hobby... and maybe chasing the ultimate racer's high. Old article link with still functioning embedded video: 'Running Man' by Ninja Scroll's Kawajiri Streamed |

A racing movie that I really enjoyed was Tailenders. Awesome, Gurren Lagann-esque graphics and a nice story for how short it was.
For Valentines, Yato always wins to me. |

I forgot about that one! The Neo Tokyo collection is an under-appreciated gem. |

It was renamed the Datsun 240Z for western markets. |

Oh man, the poll...
That's what's so great about Otomatsu-san. Each of the Matsuno's traits gets played to the point of becoming tiring but the show knows when to focus on someone else. With this strategy, the show never feels bogged down and it's hard to pinpoint the most likeable character. |

I was about to make a joke about 5D's not being here. But in all seriousness, 5D's is not a racing show. It's card games on motorcycles. Actually it's three dudes on motorcycles, two children and one witch against seven dead people (three of them on motorcycles) with gigantic "immortal" gods that draw Nazca Lines as race roads. And then we have three dudes, one chick and one left-handed android on motorcycles and two children on skateboards against left-handed androids on motorcycles and a skateboard with giant robots, and then against a flying left-handed cyborg with giant hands with eleven Time Gods. In between all of that, we have three dudes on motorcycles with dragons against three dudes on motorcycles with Norse Gods to decide who is going to save the world. |
