Dating back to the mid 1960s, Speed Racer (initially titled Mach GoGoGo) was created by anime legend Tatsuo Yoshida and started as a Japanese Manga comic. Shortly after it was made into a cartoon show and was one of the first shows from Japan to gain an American audience after it was translated.
However, Speed Racer wasn't for everyone. The Japanese style, glittering eyed characters, fast dialogue and overly complicated plot lines meant that many kids failed to latch onto the genius behind the show. Now over 40 years later, Speed Racer is back and looking stronger than ever."
