Sixteen years after the release of the Wachowskis’ Speed Racer zoomed into theaters, I’m still amazed by the anime adaptation’s status as a severely underrated movie. Based on Tatsuo Yoshida’s manga series of the same name, 2008’s Speed Racer also takes cues from the hugely popular anime of the mid-60s. One of the first anime to become successful in the US, Speed Racer in all its iterations, including the Wachowskis’ movie features a titular protagonist defined by his love of high-speed racing, his high-tech and high-speed Mach 5 car, and his family.
