Customer Reviews

Speed Racer
I purchased this video for my grandsons. They enjoyed watching these episodes a lot. The movie was in great shape and was received before expected. I would buy again from this seller.

Good episodes, but no extras and bad packaging
This DVD contains episodes twenty-four through thirty-six of the Speed Racer anime series. Because thirteen episodes were crammed onto the disc, the video quality is noticeably lower when compared to the first two DVDs. In fact, when I was watching some of the episodes, the picture was noticeably fuzzy, and this made it harder to enjoy the episodes. Also, with thirteen episodes on the disc, there are absolutely no special features included.

The copy I purchased of this DVD came in a circular tin that is supposed to resemble a tire, and a cardboard slipcover slides over the tin. Unfortunately, there is no hub in the tin to hold the DVD steady, so the disc just slides around in the packaging. This means that there's a greater chance that the DVD could become damaged if it's left in that packaging.

I'm at a loss as to why thirteen episodes were crammed onto this disc, especially since the last two volumes only contain eight episodes each. If it had been up to me, I would have split it out this way: disc one would have had 11 episodes, the second disc would have had ten episodes, disc three would have had eleven episodes, and discs four and five would have had ten episodes each. Also, I would have tried to spread the special features across all of the discs a little more evenly.

If you're a Speed Racer fan that wants to have all of the episodes on DVD, then you need to pick this up. However, be prepared to be disappointed in the video quality and the lack of special features.

Speed Rules!
Another great season and release from the classic Speed Racer series. A Must Have for Speed Racer fans!
