  • drive a real car a PAGANI ZONDA R

  • the first time i heard of this i thought it was about Racer X but it was a reboot

  • who wants a dvd of this show? raise your hand

  • @tehblackarachnid, as long as it's the complete Japanese version.

  • the x reminds me of megaman EEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXX

  • I remember when this came on Nick :) shame they got rid of it.

  • NO CHIM CHIM??? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @kungfuquincey, after recently stumbling on an awesome article on basically all things Speed Racer at ScifiJapan, THERE WAS A CHIM-CHIM!

    BUT... there's a catch.

    He appears later on in the series (as in the Japanese-released episodes, episode #20) and his name was changed to Rocky instead of Sanpei (Chim-Chim's original Japanese name). Not to mention he looks different because he is now a young African Lowland Gorilla.

  • Best Speed race, if you disagree your a nigger

  • @JamaicanBoy41 Woah now

  • @JamaicanBoy41

    whateva you moon cricket...

  • @fromstart2finish i can't be racist, i'm black you dumb trailer trash

  • @fromstart2finish laughing so you don't have to accept the truth. Typical cracker there should be a mass genocide of you ass wipes, except for your women

  • Man, if I would have known this series was going to be so hard to find, I would have recorded some episodes back when it came out on Nickelodeon GAS.

  • AI galera se auguem souber em qual canal esta pasando este desenho me retorna e me avisa por favor!!!! saldades deste grande clasico!!!!!!

  • is rex racer

    

  • the song is just making this opening look like shit..

  • I like the classic, the next generation, and the movie. (Yes I like The Next Generation and the movie; dont hate)

    But I've never seen Speed Racer X and I really want to. If anyone knows where I can get the episodes for it then please tell me!

  • This theme sucks so hard compared to the japanese one XD

  • does speed ever find out the truth about his brother?!!

  • @SsentaiX does speed junior ever find out the truth about speed? THE STORY HAS GOTTEN SO TWISTED!!!

  • Despite some sacrilegious changes (NO CHIM-CHIM!!!) I really enjoyed this series, but never saw the end of it. Rumors say that Nickelodeon didn't transmit the final episodes (that's the type of shit I'd expect from Cartoon Network).

    Still the few episodes aired were WAY better than the Next Generation crap.

  • @deepmelody1991 Only 13 episodes were dubbed in English, they couldn't air the other 20 something because Dic didn't dumb them. Although, I can't remember if this show was part of their "Slam" programming block or not. You know, when they showed Super Duper Sumos and MIB. I seem to remember a CGI Speed Racer driving on walls.

  • @deepmelody1991 The other rumors are that, because of brand issues in the original country it never got ended.

  • @deepmelody1991 I'm in the same boat, I can't remember specific moments like his older brother's death being shown, and specific races but can't remember an ending for the show, granted I was about six or seven at the time....

  • typical japanese animators, improve the characters, add details to the car, don't change the story, not even a little bit

  • O shit, here comes sperm racer :O

  • where's the better japanese version?

  • didnt toonami come out with this at first?

  • @4everDilla no it was a section of Nickelodian call Slam that also shows TV shows like Invader Zim. Ah the good old days.

  • WTF is this?

  • Wait what happened to the girly looking Speed Racer with the recycled animation clips? Come on! You think I watched it for the story?

  • 0:07 WTF?!?! the car is... bleeding?!?!

  • @maxchamullento no its sparks and exploshions

  • HERE HE COME HERE COMES GAY RACER!

  • OMG thank you! I couldn't find this!

    My friends thought I was crazy!

  • what in the heck was that ?!

  • To be honest I don't know if I like this show or not, becouse it came out a year after i was born!! Could someone please tellme were you can get this so i can see what side of the war on bad and bad remakes i'll join.

    GO SPEED GO!!!

  • @Botakuchan Gosh dang... you just made an 18 year old feel old. :'(

  • He is a what "on wheels"?? I have never understand that part of the songs.

  • @mrjoelfilms

    Demon on wheels

  • ah the memories. rember watchin this for the first tyme in 1997.

  • that car is like asurada from cyber formula racing!

  • I love this version of speed racer. Does anyone know where to buy the episodes

  • The opening theme is gay as fuck

  • @NIGEL520 the original theme was awesome. This one is an insult to Speed Racer.

  • Theres a reason this only lasted for 1 or 2 episodes you should never remake a classic like speed racer,the movie america made and the nick cartoon are shit

  • Speed Racer Original American and Speed Racer X = FTW

    Next Generation = Storyline okay to me but other than that, it's not that good

  • @khfreakIII The american version was a remake of mach go go go to speed racer originated in japan

  • @khfreakIII ???Tastunoko-anime is Jajanese anime.Original isn't American.

  • Honestly this version is a hell of a lot better than whatever bullshit they have running on Nicktoons right now

  • where's the damn monkey? =/

  • Original was much better, but this could have been a hit if done right, keep the updated graphics with the feel of the original, better acting from this with the stories of the original, combine the two right and this could have been great, instead they tried to update the whole damned thing and failed horribly.

  • oh my god, this was like my first anime ever

  • pain...lots of it

  • why don't japanese cartoons, ever have japanese characters ?

  • What do you mean? They do.

  • @xxedwincorexx dbz had japanese characters, dobe

  • the best speed racer intro was the original japanese one.....MACH GO! GO! GO

    !

  • Eww. The Japanese intro to this is way better.

  • Spridle Looks Screwed there

  • that new speed race is fuckin gay I rather watch this than that garbage

  • Why do the remakes of this song always suck?

  • yeah he would ay hahahaha. this one has nothing on the old speed racer atleast its normal lol

  • why does everything japanese turned american ruin my childhood memory? :*(

  • dasa!!!!!!

  • Speed Racer is awesome, but I just never really cared for any of the theme songs.

  • *vomits on self* Old version is better.

  • this show sucks the original is better

  • Then you try to watch the Speed Racer Next Generation and LIVE TO TELL THE TALE. D: Because I think this is at least WAY better than that PIECE OF SHIT I just saw... But you are right. I don't think either one could beat the original. :)

  • Speed Racer TNG is a fucking travesty. It has worse animation than the original and the story just sucks!

  • Your mother this is god vs shit compared to the Speed FagWanker Next deGeneration Intense Colonoscopy.

  • wheres Captain Falcon? he'd so fit in here lol!

  • Probably falcon pounching bitches in Super Smash Brothers

  • @fallenlino

    Probably racing Speed's kid

  • The memories, THE MEMORIES

  • Anywhere to watch it?

    Also missed that 3engine Mach 5 more than the original.

  • this looks awesome! gotta love racer x's new costume!

  • I remember this coming out on SLAM on Nickelodeon. That whole program block only lasted like a month, I used to love it just because of this cartoon. Le sigh...

  • I have watched it before, it was on Kids WB channel.

  • Is it still on Kids WB? If so, what time -- I'd like to see it again. I saw the first five episodes -- including the first appearance of the mysterious Racer X.

    Belle Book

  • Its already cancled years ago sorry

  • Too bad. Is there any U.S. channel where it appears and I can watch it? If not, I'll just wait and hope for more episodes to come out on YouTube.

    Belle Book

  • it must be set in 20XX

  • I only watched a few episodes of this before it was taken off the air, but I think it was a good show.

  • seeing this on retro junk makes me feel so old...

  • I have to admit, that speed, and racer X look better, but they totally destroyed the mach 5. I'll stick with the original , although i do have to say, this was pretty damn good. But the mach 5 has jump jacks, not thrusters. It isn't that pussy KITT that was patterned after the greatest car ever thought of and designed.

  • To be honest, I prefer this show to the original one. It's more interesting.

  • Blasphamy. I'm kidding. but still I perfer the older 60's version but i could why someone would like this more. at least your not jumping on the band wagon saying that the older one is better and everything else sucks. (but thats not saying that the movie wasn't absolute shit.)

  • Don't get me wrong, I like the original, heck I even have the first 11 episodes on DVD but I just prefer the remake. To me its more interesting. Now the movie is a different beast but even that didn't seem bad to me just long.

  • no I agree it is more interesting than the 60's version it's just that by interesting i mean illogical, and I just perfer shows I watch to be more realistic. it's all just a matter of opinion. BTW thanks for respecting my opinion on this show (i usually don't see people like that).

  • Yeah I know it happens to me too but hey its the internet XD

  • I probably would too, the art and animation look WAY better.

  • And it is. the story is better IMO.

  • what a gay version ... clssic Speed Racer humilates this one  X_X

  • So true. Speed Racer 60's is in my top 3 anime of all time list. This show sucked, as did the hollywood movie.

  • I actually liked this because it proved as a better (bearable) remake than that HORRIBLE movie!!!!!

  • Hey man, ease up. At least we got to see the mach 5 in action in the movie. Yeah, I agree, this sucks. But I was born in 63, and grew on speed, and astro boy, and marine boy. Sucks yeah, but i'll take it where i can get it.

  • lrn2spell

  • @cappenguim Hey, some of us semi-grew up with this version, thank you! Honestly, you have to admit that this was at least better than that NEXT GENERATION crap on Nicktoons Network now. =__=

  • @KitaraStrife No offense, but if you grew up with this one, you got screwed over.

    There's a reason this one failed and the original had 52 episodes.

    And I'm not one of these snobs, I sat thee and watched the first few episodes when it was playing, they simply tried to make it a lot darker than it was originally and failed horribly.

  • @DarkHeartofblank I can't really argue either way because I hardly remember it. xD That's how much I actually paid attention back then. XD Though, I think I want them to redub the original just because the first dub had them going "HAHA" at the end of any sentence where there was still lip-movement.

  • @DarkHeartofblank I think I might have already replied to this a year ago, but I'm replying again cause I got another idea. They tried to make it darker than the original, yes, but I don't think they aimed it at the right group for that tactic. They should have had it airing on Adult Swim and have more swear words. But then, I wouldn't have seen it. XD

  • @cappenguim Your Opion is false.

  • @cappenguim I agree. The original show destroys this one.

  • @cappenguim not sure what you're smoking... but the orginal speed racer was REALLY REALLY gay... like... did u see the length of speed's eyelashes!? they're so long they make spongebob's look normal!

    i've never really seen this new series (beyond the opening theme) but it looks really posh... and speed actually looks like a guy this time...

  • @cappenguim don't diss this version.. dis the new adventures.. now that sucked..

  • That version is awsome!!!!!!!, I just watched the old version (first one) and recently the new version in Cartoon Network, but I prefeer this version!!!!!

  • it's just as I remembered

  • This wasn't "Bat Man"!! He was of honest begginings, who had an older brother looking out for him!!!!!!!!!

  • Whoa didn't even know about this one. The drawing is much more american so I guess it's not originally japanese?

  • No, I'm pretty sure this was animated in japan first...I'm pretty sure it was.

  • Yep. Believe it or not this series was actually animated by the ORIGINAL studio that made Speed Racer, Tatsunoko.

  • hmm... never saw this show... i think it didn't make it to the Brasilian TV screens...

    i liked the ideia to Xtend (WTF XD) the series

    i used to watch the original when i was 7, now i am 18, and i liked the movie too

    and it has a Petrobras car in it (Brasilian oil company)

  • of COURSE PASSED!!! On Tonami on cartoon network i saw that..that passed liek at 3:00 or 01:00 am...or in ther morning im braziliam

  • What a pathetic opening, but the character designs are kickass compared to the original series.

  • I nearly forgot about this show

  • I used to watch this.

  • big-bad-rubbish

  • wow...that sounds horrible XD

  • The old one had more charm..

  • i choose the old one but racer x design is pretty nice

  • I wish they showed all Speed Racer shows now like Y2K,Speed Racer X,and the original one as well.

  • it's better than the Y2K one.

  • Old one is better.

  • why the hell do they keep making these songs in english?!

  • The real question is "Why do they keep shortening the song to 'Go Speed racer go'"?

  • i got thumbed down because people are offended that i asked why they made the song in English (every body here knows that that song sucks)

    that's pretty pathetic.....

  • that song KICKS ASS, you suck

  • the song berly has any lyrics at all , it keeps repeating "go spead racer"

    give it up...the only reason you would say that is if you wanted to any way close to japanees people(poser)

    or you have horrible music taste

  • wen has the number of lyrics made a song goo or not? chants are a type of song and I think the chant peace love and happyness is very good, even with only 3 words

    and saying the only reason I like that song is beacuse I want to be closer to the japanees people, and calling me a poser? that shows your own level of ignorance. why the hell would I want to be closer to a bunch of sceen emo, or corperite fucks?

    your opinion of my taaste of music is your own, all thoe based off of little information

  • its "barely" and "speed racer" and "Japanese"

    WEEEWOOOOWWEEEEWOOOWEEE

    Here comes the spelling police!

    o btw its because it has so few lyrics that the song is so catchy... just think of the Adam West batman songs.

    nananananananana ananananananana bat man

    "Na" "Bat" and "Man" thats it... in fact i wont be surprised if that song was an inspiration for this one.

  • why do idiots like you think your smart just becouse people make typos?

    i know how to spell you idiot if you had any sense of logic you would notice people make typos!!!

  • woah woah woah relax! i wasnt insulting you to begin with...

    i understand people make typos, but when you make 3 typos in just a few sentences, it leaves me to think you really dont know how to spell.

    btw its "because" ;)

  • The Speed Racer on Nicktoons version with Mach 6 the show sucks

  • yeah i know , even the drawings suck....

  • is speed grown up on this show please anybody reply

  • It's more of a reimagining.

  • nope

  • Wasn't it another cartoon a lot like these but when raced at arenas with monsters and underwater facing machines with cool specialties. It was also about a car and i think it was called mach 5 or something, does anybody know then please tell me cause i cant find it :(

  • the original was aired via 1996 and this one i dont reall know

  • What's the difference between this version and SRY2K? Both seem to use the same footage, but Y2K's theme is longer and sung by a male. Are these different dubs?

  • I remember watching this version!

    While my Dad was a fan of the original...

  • me is the fan number 1

  • I remember this being on nickeloden about 6 - 7 years ago.

  • The old one is better

  • true it is but this one wasnt that bad

  • This one gives Speed Racer a meaning of Adrenaline

  • just plain uuhhuuhuhuhhhh??????????

  • é um remake... mas, tá bem melkhor que o Next Generation, que seria uma tentativa de história dos filhos de Speed, uhahuahuauh

  • racer x in purple no sir that is just wrong

  • The mach 5 in this series looks AWESOME!!!!!! Way cooler then the 60's,93,SRNG,or movie version

  • 60s?????? thought this (awesome) shit was from the 80s!!! damn...

  • This MACH 5 was from Speed Racer X the 1997 version.I thought it looked cooler than the original 60's version,the American 1993's Speed Racer cartoon version,the SR Next Generation version and the SR Movie version.

  • i dunno... i still think the 60s version is the bast (with this one coming in a very close second) the movie one is pretty much the same as the 60's but a little more modern. im not sure wat the deal was with the 93 version and dont even get me started on SRNG (cuz i hate it XD)

  • esto es una verdadera mierda

    nada como el "Speed Racer" o "Meteoro" (para los latinos) como de los 70's y cuando volvio a salir en los 90's, ese es el unico y original

    los demas, fueron puros re-makes sin exito

  • This show is way darker than the speed racer show I originally watched as a kid, but I actually liked it. I thought it was good, the intro sucked balls but it had good writing.

  • I disagree for the Intro. It is just simply shorten, that's all. If they make it long as the original, then that is a different story.

  • Kein Kommentar ;-)!

  • Nada a ver com Speed Racer!Uma porcaria!

  • To all those complaining, at least it's better than that new generation one. This is an actual anime.

  • not bad

  • wow they totally fucked up speed. old one is was wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better. oh and they fucked up the song to.

  • EPIC FAIL

  • where can i watch this online

  • i forgot about this show & i forgot how bad the intro was.

  • This is.... terrible.

  • The mach 5 in this series looks AWESOME!!!!!! Way cooler then the 60's,93,SRNG,or movie version

  • Its very new for me...es muy nuevo para mi...
