So I am going to talk about the story, its characters and my enjoyment of the anime and what i would change.

Story started of well and I really liked it, villain of the week style and ...

Nothing gets the blood pumping like a high-intensity race, be it in a car, bike, or even mecha suit. Youthful passion and energy fuel these shows about drivers, pilots and athletes all striving for that #1 spot. As Ricky Bobby once famously said, "If you ain't first, you're last".
