Speed Racer Aka Mach Go Go Go

[wwwmwww]

I've got this...

http://www.socheapithurts.com/com200001.html

And on it is one episode of what it calls Speed Racer Y2K but I've also seen it called the 1997 Japanese re-make. Looking around on the web I see references to it coming out on Nickelodeon in 2002 but to be honest I don't know if that ever happened or not. If it did I missed them.

Anways is this re-make available on DVD yet? If not here in the US what about Japan?

Quite curious,

Carl

Yeah, it happened and then it was gone.The new show was called Speed Racer X. I think DIC(who was licencing both Classic Speed Racer & Speed Racer X properties from Speed Racer Enterprises) had a falling out with S.R.E. that led to cancellation of Speed Racer X.

I'm still looking for this.

Anyone know if this has been released to DVD in Japan yet? Also I once thought I saw an art book for this version of Mach GoGoGo on Yahoo Japan. Does anyone know if there is an official art book for this series and if so where one might be able to find it?

Thanks,

Heh, that's the only speed racer show I've seen. I liked it a lot when it was on.

Is is just me, but why does that helmet look conspicuously like Hikaru Ichijo's?

That was rad cool!

I wonder if the original Japanese Mach Go Go Go will ever see a US release?

[mister_e]

I had no idea there were newer versions of Speed Racer. Pretty cool, I guess

That was a horrible version of Speed Racer.

I've only seen some of the US release, which wasn't that bad. The series itself looks really good. I've been wanting to get it but never found anywhere to download it or buy it from.

Well I've only seen one episode and I really really want to see more. There were 34 episides seen in Japan and the original Mach GoGoGo was released on DVD. I would think at some point this series would see a DVD release as well. Maybe it already was and I missed it... I would just really like to find out more.

I ended up seeing about 10 episodes out of the 15 or so that Nickelodeon aired. I liked what I saw and was disappointed that they stopped showing it. I'm still hoping that one of their other networks will pick it up as a late night filler.
