Oban Star Racers Volumes 1 and 2

Oban Star Racers Volumes 1 and 2

After watching the first couple episodes of the French/Japanese animated show Oban Star Racers, I was hooked. I got restless waiting to see how the story would end. Oban Star Racers Volumes 1 and 2, which was recently released on DVD, is an amazing series that combines sci-fi, fantasy, and drama with Japanese style animation. In Oban, which has as many twists and turns in the plot as there are high-speed races, we watch a team of humans who carry the responsibility of saving the Earth. And this team is led by a 15-year-old racer known as Molly! To save the planet, they must participate in a race where the winner gets any wish they want. The problem is that one of the race's contestants, known as the Crog Imperium, wants to annihilate the planet Earth. So obviously you can see what's at stake here. Oban Star Racers has one of the best stories I've seen in an animated series. It covers loyalty, family issues, courage, and taking risks while chasing your dreams. Also worth mentioning is that it has some really awesome high-speed races. This 2-disc set is definitely worth checking out. It'll keep you on the edge of your seat as you follow the saga's beginning all the way to the dramatic final race.
