In 1967, "Speed Racer" made its debut, igniting the first Japanese anime cartoon to ever succeed in the United States.Originally titled "Mach GoGoGo", the English-dubbed series "Speed Racer" soon became an instant classic. Four generations later, it continues to inpact American naime and rev up the hearts and imagination of over 45 million fans as one of the most beloved animated series of all time. "Spped Racer" fans can now enjoy the incredible "Speed Racer: The Complete Classic Collection" and be thrilled as Spped, the intrepid young race care driver, races for the flag, chases notorious villains, and pursues fast-action adventires. Join the full-throttle excitement with an unforgettable supporting cast; including Pops Racer, Trixie, Spritle, Chim Chim, and the mysterious Racer X. This remarkable 6-disc DVD set includes all 52 classic episodes together in a DVD release for the very first time. Plus, a bonus disc with additional features that include "The History Of Speed Racer" featurette, a bonus episode of the series entitled "The Next Generation" and and "The Making Of Speed Racer: The Next Generation".

Fun for Mach 5 fans of all ages!Read full review
Quality of picture is better than the DVD transfer. There's nothing too fancy with the packaging or extras but it's the best Speed Racer I could find and it's "groovy."

The story lines are remarkable and creative through all 52 original 60's episodes! Well written for all ages. Includes action without excessive violence, shows good vs. evil (good wins), character family holds up well and is mutually supportive, can not tell that dialogue is a translation from Japanese to English. The animation is on par with all from its day but looks a little rough from the eyes of year 2009 and modern computer graphics. American cast's voice over is fantastic even at today's standards. The Speed Racer original series is an unsung hero among the classics!
Looks great places well thank you

this is a great set at a great price,lottsa fun sharing one of my favorite childhood shows with my grandkids,the only drawback is,it didn't come in the mach 5 shaped box like the picture in the ad shows,the seller shouldn't show the car shaped box unless the product comes in it,other than that,very happy with speed racer dvd set
While I am not a Speed Racer fan, my son sure is. He just about passed out when he opened this for Christmas. He just adores Speed racer everything and the gift set completed his collection. If your child is a racing fan or loves fast cars, I would highly recommend this set.
So this complete series of Speed Racer completes the set

I love Speed Racer and love the set. I grew up on speed racer love the Mach 5 my favorite episode is the Mach 5 vs the Mach 5. I only the real Mach 5 would fly like the fake one and had that laserbeam like the Phony mach 5 did
The Anime classic is over 40 years old, therefore the sound is 2 channel mono for you audiophiles who prefer 5.1 digital surround sound. That is the only con I can find, the pros are; the video is awesome, the user menu/ episode guide is great.
