grant i have see some speed racer and but i never really watch it and i have also see other show some feature these character dress a bird who fly a ship call the phoenix and another revolve around a space ship that look like a giant ocean vessel and it fly backwards at time for some reason and be really dark and hard to understand for someone who be maybe five . this one though i watch nearly every episode and the amazing to me at the time be that this show have some resolution to it . it actually end and the bad guy do in unlike nearly every american cartoon where nothing really conclude such a the last episode of the generation one transformer that end with galvatron and this new bad guy vow to get the autobots and dungeon and dragon with the kid never make it home and with gi joe with cobra still out there ready to try again and so on and so forth . this one do end and do feature a rather cool robot that get new weapon a the show progress and it be a bit bland to begin with a it could not fly and have only a few really cool weapon . a it go on he get a cool shoot fist like the one android 16 use against cell in dragonball z and then that weapon evolve to include razor that shoot out . then the big robot even get wing so he could fly and even more weapon be incorporate into the wing . he would also get a couple of ally in a female robot and a rather funny one call bobo in america . the villain not only consist of dr. hell and but a really weird person that be half man half woman and a dude with a fly head . interesting show and it be kind of nice see a conclusion .
