![]() The violence is a hard one, there is some serious fighting and some of the concepts as to how a person died may be a little scary to the younger kids, but a lot of this happens very fast. There is a scene where there are some boobs hanging out, but the story never gets sexual, so if you don't mind your kids seeing a little bit of breast you should be fine. The movie isn't about the subtleties of racing such as taking corners well or the art of overtaking by any means, its very much a "I'm much more driven and angrier than you, so now I'll catch up and overtake!", but with the world this is taking place in, the different array of vehicles all going up against each other and the obstacles that keep popping up, its just fun. Plus the characters are a fun mix of races and designs. But don't let that stop you, as it is what gives this story a bit of depth rather than being a series of mindless races. Plus the usual loud characters or cool tough guys. Of course this is anime so they did have a few of the cliché characters such as dashing yet arrogantly confident pretty boy and the "I have to be independent and strong" female character that gets his attention. You can almost imagine a whole prequel movie leading up to the events in this movie. There were hints of politics, history and other tidbits that made each of the locations that are visited and the characters shown have a lot more substance than just a pretty backdrop. What surprised me most other than the very energized racing sequences, is that there seemed to be a whole back story to the universe where the races were taking place. I went in without any preconceptions other than the movie looked very zany after seeing the trailer on YouTube. Its an experience I haven't had with a movie in a long time. When you see this movie, have the sound loud and the screen big. My only regret is that I didn't see this in a higher quality cinema. Out of random happenstance I went and saw this movie at the Reel Anime movie festival as it came to Canberra Australia.
