It all began two days ago. Two days ago i went on a family trip to one of the country’s biggest lakes. We visited some ancient ruins and looked at a massive statue of a saint… but that’s not important, is it? The reason i was so excited about this trip was that, this time, i was the one driving.

Speed Racer ), which was hugely successful at the time, but there are still a lot more racing anime in the world.
