Synopsis

With the introduction of Hybrid Performance Exceed Reactor (HyPER)—a technology that injects new life into racing—race cars can now reach incredible speeds of up to five hundred kilometers per hour. Five years after the inception of the NEX Race, a competition where the cars are enhanced by HyPER and even AI, one man stands as the undisputed champion. Having won every title since the inaugural NEX Race season, Lorenzo M. Salvatore is the king of the racing world.

Unexpectedly entering the tournament is a former ballet dancer, Rin Rindou, who has been given a chance to become a real racer after setting a world record in a racing video game. Forced to give up dancing, Rin shifts her focus to chasing a new goal, despite her lack of experience. Making the most of her peculiar skill set and the NEX Race innovations, the young newcomer may just be the one to dethrone the absolute king.

A Thrilling Ride with Room for Improvement

Highspeed Étoile, the latest anime series from Studio A-Cat, has finally arrived, and it's a wild ride that promises to deliver high-octane action and excitement. Set in a near-future world where vehicles can reach speeds of 500 km/h, the show revolves around the NEX Race, a cutting-edge racing event that brings together both human and AI drivers. The story is straightforward, focusing on the rivalry between the reigning champion, Lorenzo "The King" M. Salvatore, and his closest challenger, Alice "The Queen" Summerwood. The series also introduces a new rookie driver, Rin Rindo, who joins the fray with her trusty ...

Mixed Feelings
Highspeed Étoile - Studios utilising full-on 3DCG with dense stories always (and obviously) never end up doing well...but somehow, this show did, and surprisingly, did not crash and burn.

3DCG in anime is always criticised in one form or another, from the intentional (i.e. last Spring's Kaminaki Sekai no Kamisama Katsudou a.k.a KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World) to the outright bad (i.e. 2021's abominations of Winter's Ex-Arm and Fall's Tesla Note, and the like). For one such studio by the name of Studio A-CAT, this is their bread and butter for producing the projects that they've been given, and from bad animation to ...

Preliminary (3/12 eps)
Lowspeed Toilet

Somehow the makers of this show managed to make an ultra-high speed racing series unbelievably boring. There are multiple things that cause this, from the commentators sounding bored out of their mind, to us not knowing anything about the characters since we get tossed into the races right away without any buildup, to there being no music for a lot of the driving, which means that most of the racing shown is cars going down a straight with no BGM with only the low hum of the engines and a commentator droning on about something while sounding like a robot.

I really cannot stress enough ...
