Well that sure got my interest. An anime set in Formula 4 motor racing? I'm up for that.

There's a bit more info at ANN here.

Guardian Enzo · 2023-01-20, 10:00

Just fucking finish the Capeta adaptation.

grecefar · 2023-01-20, 10:01

Certainly this is something new at least for me.

I've never seen a racing anime.

Nachtwandler · 2023-01-20, 11:36

I've seen a few racing anime. And damn, I would rather see Troya finish YagaKimi, El-Melloi files or make some decent new sci-fi animr than this...

Just watched the first episode of this and was pleasantly surprised. It's totally a "explain racing and race teams to newbies" episode, for the most part, but the animation was good with some nice dynamic camera shots of the cars on the track. That, and the human bits like some drivers being hammy stars and others being serious, or whatever is contained in the main photographer's past... they were all interesting enough for me to want the next episode.

I don't even know yet that this is the best racing anime this season, but I enjoyed it so far...

Blaat · 2023-10-01, 13:40

I really enjoyed the first episode definitely a keeper.

Dop · 2023-10-01, 14:12

Yeah, I enjoyed this. I mean, OK, there was an awful lot of Motor Racing 101 infodumping about F4, formation lap, flags and safety car, but that's understandable if they're aiming at an audience who don't know much about this kind of thing.
Also, I know British Formula 4 introduced the 'Halo' safety device this year, so I was surprised not to see that but maybe they'd planned this one in a previous year or Japan hasn't introduced it yet?

While the CG racing sequences did look a bit 'video-gamey' at times they seemed pretty solid in terms of depicting the racing, so that was good.

This is on my list of shows to watch this season, for sure.

I'm genuinely surprised by the amount of attention to detail to the actual racing in this. They aren't making stuff up, they used a very believable event in track for the action, explained the sport correctly and showed a tone of care and attention to the subject matter.

Not gonna lie, if this keeps up it might beat MF Ghost as the better sports car Anime this season. And this doesn't even have eurobeat!

First formula racing anime ive seen since Capeta, i think im gonna enjoy this one

grecefar · 2023-10-01, 18:54

not my first sports anime but it is my first racing cars anime that I've seen. It was nice and I'm really looking foward to see haruka winning against those 2.
