Tobidase! Machine Hiryuu
Two rival car company chairmen decide to settle their business beef through racing, each backing their own team. Chairman Gapporin recruits the legendary driver Okkanabichi, while Chairman Misaki takes a gamble on Riki Kazama, a rookie piloting the experimental flying car Machine Hiryu. The show mashes together Speed Racer and Time Bokan vibes—think cute girlfriend Nana, pint-sized mechanic Chuta, a cute monkey and dog mascot, and over-the-top villains constantly scheming in the background. This Tatsunoko production features early work from some seriously talented people, including Yoshitaka Amano and Kunio Okawara, though the animation is pretty standard for the studio at the time. The story also got adapted into manga that ran in magazines like Terebi Magazine and Terebi Land. Racing anime were having a moment in Japan around this period—you can see it with shows like Arrow Emblem that came out the same year.
