I've never had the urge to write a review for an anime before, but Capeta is disgustingly overlooked and underrated. I've put off this show as I've not had the keenest interest in professional racing. But I am willing to say it's the best anime I've watched to this date, it's true that the anime doesn't have the best style art wise but you get used to it very quickly and its actually good enough and suits the anime anyways.
But besides the art style, the way this anime blends real life difficulties with the sport really well, had me tearing up multiple times for
...
the character because the different struggles he faces financially and his upbringing just feels so real.
I cannot believe an anime like this was overlooked by the masses, leading it to be discontinued early on. This is a hidden gem, and definitely something worth watching even for those not into cars.
As a racing anime, in my opinion despite loving initial d, Initial D pales in comparison to Capeta (and that's with my bias towards street racing in japan). Capeta doesn't feel like a story built upon plot armour, it feels so gripping that you literally ride the emotional rollercoaster with the characters.
I don't even read mangas, but as the anime was ended abruptly due to lack of popularity upon its release, I will finish it off properly by reading the manga.
Please, give this anime a chance, it's genuinely that good.
I wish they would just complete the series properly.
