HE IS A DEMON.
me, who has been watching random speed racer clips the whole day : you don't say

[FloatingSunfish]

Good to see that Speed still kills his fellow racers in the intro.
Never change, Speed. Never change.

[jrod]

This is how you reboot a classic, I loved every second of this show

[DraculaXHunter]

This was the Speed Racer I grew up with.

I can’t believe I finally found this intro again!

[raphaelmarques]

HE'S GOING OVER THAT CLIFF

AAHRG

[Montesama]

Geez, they wanted to make Racer X look as evil as possible.

[ChristoAbrie]

this version of the Mach 5 has to be my fav, no doubt that the original has a gorgeous shape, but the Le Mans-inspired look this one has was awesome

[MatthewTheWolf]

This is a solid reboot of a classic anime.

I am today years old finding out this exists. I was a teenager when this dropped originally how did I miss this?

Speed Racer X, by DiC Entertainmnent (Inspector Gadget, Captain Planet, Kissyfur), appeared on Nickelodeon (Jimmy Neutron, Rugrats) in 2002, but collapsed after only 34 of a projected 52 episodes aired, in a combination of production and legal difficulties.

"he's a demon on wheels"
Yeah LITERALLY a demon on wheels

[Wolf_Dominic]

I think this might have been a show I watched for a bit. I didn’t watch it for long, but I remember that I absolutely loved the car.

[emberman]

Speed Racer with great animation...how bizarre.

[DHable]

I remember watching a few episodes of this.

[SgtBilby]

The reason it was short lived because Speed Racer Enterprises sued DiC over this dub
Kinda ironic that SRE failed to give Tatsunoko any credit in their US work (i.e. The New Adventures of Speed Racer, Speed Racer [the movie] and Speed Racer: The New Generation) thus leading them to lose their name sake license in court and it reverting back to Tatsunoko

[MrWii]

I really the English dub hadn't been cancelled.

[chefcantcook]

How have I never heard of this 1997 re boot, I need to watch this

[tybarker]

Still stuck in my head when I drive fast lmao

[manuelgrothe]
