WAIT... Remember Oban Star Racers?

Oban Star Racers is a unique slice of the animation world that combines a great sci-fi story with so many different animation inspirations. Now with a full HD blu-ray version on the way thanks to the fans funding it, Oban Star Racers and what could come next for this franchise are coming back into the conversation for this originally 1 season show.

    W E W ! ! ! Sci-fi/fantasy racing games were one of the many reasons why I even tuned into Oban Star-Racers at 10 years old. I've always wondered what a video game based on the show itself would've been like, but I never thought I would actually see the day that anything close to this concept would be in progress. Watching this show was one of the best parts of my rather lonely childhood, I always felt like this show was very underrated and ignored when compared to the rest of the anime-inspired shows of the mid-2000s (Avatar, Code Lyoko, Teen Titans, Super Robot Monkey Team, etc) and finally seeing one of the things I fantasized about for 15 years being realized makes me feel a slight bit old now that I'm in my mid-20s, but it isn't any less awesome. I could never find a fan community for this like I could for Avatar and Code Lyoko, though. The fandom probably only has slight activity these days due to it being a 26-episode show from 15 years ago, but I'm hoping stuff like this revitalizes the fan community like how Evangelion on Netflix made thousands of new fans.

    This show KICKED ASS, man. Episode one as a tad clunky in some of the writing, but the rest of the show? Yeah, you could argue that this was an animated drama that also happens to have some racing cause it's pretty dang mature instead of feeling, well, like a kids show. And the fact that Jetix got it is still unbelivable since, as great as the show was, it kinda got overshadowed by Ying Yang Yo. Oh BTW, Eva/Molly shares the same VA as Hamtaro and Daring Do.

    Oban Star-Racers is the GOAT! I used to have such a crush on Eva/Molly back in the day, and I also remember hating Don Wei with a burning passion too for how he treated her. So glad to see more people talk about this show, it's legitimately a good one. The animation was great, the story was solid, the characters also had great development, and honestly it's still very unique series even today. I definitely recommend anyone who hasn't done so yet to give it a watch.

Anyway, IMO, he's not a vicious person, but rather a sad man who hurt not only Eva and other people around him but also himself. Moreover, he has the best character development.

    Honestly the thing I'd want most is more with the character Spirit. Despite him being a part of the biggest event in Eva's life, her mother's death, and being a source of both fear and anger, we never see the two interact properly outside of the episode Silent Like Spirit, which I always thought was a missed opportunity. Some theorize that Spirit was competing in the great race because he spent years wracked with guilt over his inability to save Eva, and wanted to use the prize to bring her back. THat's an interesting thing I'd love to see explored.

As an adult, ALLLLLLL of that is background noise to a genuinely fantastic, heartbreaking story about a girl trying to piece her broken family back together, and her dad who doesn’t even recognize her after abandoning her so many years ago.

    I remember the series very well. OSR and WAKFU are among my absolute favourites. It starts with the intro. The Japanese intro is really good, but the German intro makes you want to activate the afterburner immediately. Molly is a very good protagonist. One of the best female main characters I know. The other characters are also well written. But what makes the series exceptional is the story. Races are usually rather boring, but here we have different challenges every time that push our pilots to the limit, especially on the creative side. And then there are the character dramas. OSR actually tells a very sad story. So much pain and sadness, and only because someone pulled the strings. My favorite scene then is the end, which didn't go as planned at all. But that's the point, because the future hasn't been written yet.

Even as a kid, I could tell there was something unique about the show, and after it ended, it left me wanting more, and no other show scratched the same itch (kinda how Avatar is for many people) Even though it's been like 15 years since I watched this show, the opening and ending songs are still stuck in my head, and that should tell you something about how fondly Oban fans think of it.

    Good to finally see a show (of the episodes I've seen from you) that didn't lose all of its potential for continuing beyond its initial airtime. Clearly a successful project even for a short-term one!

    There are 2 cartoon shows I'm trying to remember from my childhood but still haven't found them yet, One is about a group of pirates with a submarine who trying to find the location of an ancient sunken golden ship using magical swords as a stearing wheel, the main character's best friend is a super soldier with white hair, and he also adopted a kid with a laser eye he uses to hack satellites, the show has excellent hand to hand combat, and a great cast of characters, that's all I remember from the show, and I really want to remember it's name, The second one is this cartoon, so thank you so much, now all that is left is the first cartoon.

    this is genuinely the first time I have to answer the question of your title with a no. (Not counting the good burger episode.) only after saying the title out loud I remembered that MAYBE I saw a few promos for it on Jetix, but I'm not even certain about it. But now that you brought a french show, I might as well go see if you made a Code Lyoko episode, and if not, recommend you to do it.
