A little bit too long but I recommend this if you want to watch something very different from what Japanese productions usually deliver. This in summary is a an anime made by a half Japanese, half french production about a star ship racing championship that will lead to an ultimate prize. The aliens, ships and art style is very unique and well thought and although the main plot gets boring quickly and the main villain is kind of generic the suspense is interesting enough to keep you going and the deliver at the end is quite better than I expected.

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".
