Movie Reviews of Speed Racer - Episodes 1-11
Movie Review: speed racer episodes 1-11
Summary: 4 Stars
i think speed racer is great, i grew up watching it and it is nice to see it again. I know the quality is nothing near todays cartoons but thats what i like is to see all the old stuff coming back and getting to watch it again.Movie Review: Some rubber, some not
Summary: 4 Stars
FYI, I have seen Volume 1 of Speed Racer in two packages. One is faced with "real rubber" which has about 1/16 inch of tread depth. It's pretty cool packaging. There is another package, though, which *looks* exactly the same but is just ink on paper made to look like a tire tread. Caveat emptor! I assume the disc is the same, but IMHO the "real rubber" package really makes this an extra special item.
I'm not overly disappointed in the quality of the video as some appear to be, but it's true that it could be better. There are some scenes where the digital artifacts are distracting or obfuscate important details. Bummer. Perhaps they'll redo it for BlueRay and cram all 50-odd episodes onto one disc!
I'm happy with my "real rubber" tire package and the enclosed DVD, for now. It's the most watched DVD in my entire collection.

Summary: 4 Stars
At last, one of our fondest Cartoon memories of the 1960s is available on DVD. This set, together with volumes 2 through 4, present the whole series that gave millions of us youngsters of 60s and 70s a reason to watch TV on weekday afternoons. Yes, the animation is not the best. No, the plots and dialogue are not on par with CITIZEN KANE. But, this cartoon gem showed loads of imagination and was just such escapist fun, you couldn't help but watch.
The DVD has some nice extras, is smartly packaged in genuine tire rubber, and has good sound and picture. No, unlike some reviewers I didn't measure the compression ratio, time the title sequences nor even investigate the coefficient of friction for this disc. I just watched this very affordable DVD for what it is, and found it to be entertaining and in good working order.
Movie Review: One of the best Japanese Cartoons ever made!
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't bought these DVDs yet, but I will because I was a great fan of Speed Racer. I like many other 40+ year olds, used to run home from school just to watch Speed Racer & Gigantor on channel 11. Man those were good cartoons. Not too violent,(for me that is) no real hidden political agendas. Just good clean japanese cartoon fun! The Japanese cartoons of today are SOOOOOO stupid and uncreative, it's just a shame that so many kids think that these crappy cartoons are good! Garbage cartoons such as Yu Ghe oh & that little yellow piece of crap Pinkachu or the ridiculously named cartoon, Satch Bell? What the hell did they get that name from? Are the people that created these cartoons out of their minds or were they just high on some bad speed? (no pun intended for Speed Racer) The way these japanese cartoons are drawn today, you would think that the cartoonist must have been a drug user or alcohol abuser, or just plain violent! MAN THEY'RE BAD! And I mean BAD in the real meaning of the word, not the "cool" street lingo it can also mean. THESE JAPANESE CARTOONS TODAY REALLY REALLY SUCK! Plus the storylines are geared towards the older teens not the 5 to 12 year olds that could watch Speed or gigantor or Marine Boy, which unfortunately, I can't find any DVDs for. My son is just turning 5 & he is going to know what good cartoons were like. So I am going to buy these DVDs of Speed Racer, Gigantor and when available, Marine Boy. Hopefully,in the future, I'll be able to buy another great japanese cartoon called Tobor, the eigth man, again when it's available. For now I will just take my chances even though some reviewers have said the quality of the Speed Racer & Gigantor weren't that good.
