Oban Star-Racers Volume One: The Alwas Cycle - coming to US DVD!

I can't tell you how much I loved Oban Star Racers. What a phenomenal show - a great story, with fantastic characters and amazing design and animation. The creators really cared about this thing, and it showed all the way through. This show was a joint French / Japanese production and aired on Jetix here in the states.

The Complete Alwas Cycle UNCUT!

It’s 2082. Ten thousand years have passed since the last great race on the remote planet of Oban. Now the time has come for the pilots of the galaxy to compete in a new race, and Earth is more than ready with its spectacular Whizzing Arrow star-racer. Built and maintained by racing legend Don Wei’s team of engineers and mechanics, the Whizzing Arrow has become the Earth’s only hope against annihilation by the greatest foe the world has ever seen—the menacing Crog Imperium.

There’s just one problem: Once he arrives on the distant planet of Alwas for the competition, Wei’s top pilot is forced into early retirement, and the controls of the Whizzing Arrow are placed into the inexperienced hands of “Molly,” a 15-year-old racing prodigy!

The Race for the Ultimate Prize Has Begun!
