I remember the amazing final falcon punch is so iconic

The meaning of truth is unironically one of the greatest anime openings of all time in my eyes

I still remember my buddy showing me that this is on KZfaq for free

This whole anime is all worth it just to see that final FALCON PUNCH while The Meaning of Truth plays in the background.

I just can't get enough of that theme song, it is a real shame that this show never got a proper localization, if only Funimation did it instead of 4Kids

It was one of those anime that i remember almost nothing about even after all 52 episodes. But it does have one of the best anime ops of all time.

I remember watching and enjoying what little we got here in the states when it aired. I should really go back and finish the whole series in the original Japanese.

The only reason I remember this show is that they made some characters who weren’t villains into villains Characters like Pico, -Beastman- ,Bio-Rex, The Skull, Baba, Octoman, and -Leon- ,were the ones who became villains in the show. I feel like that there was a missed opportunity to have Octoman and Leon be supporting characters instead of villains. Considering they do have interesting backstories. This anime does seem to be an interesting watch, might check it out later.

Forever He will be my hero!

This anime has always been on my backlog, thanks to you it’s at the top of it now and I’ll give it a try.

This is really great how you took time to check out the F-Zero anime. Thanks for help shed some light on it. It's really something more people should experience at least once.

Im supprised it wasnt more popular at the time given Captain Falcon is a character in Smash Bros. Thats how I found out about the game...I havent even played it yet but the music track (specifically the song Mute City) is an absolute banger.

I watched this back in the brawl days. Loved it. Didn't realize there was a translation.

My only major flaw is that it was so frustrating it's in an alt. continuity and it differs from the games themselves, especially portraying some chars, even the minor ones that had only 1 episode. To me it's...hit-or-miss, thus I made podfics for my own F-Zero timeline; I can never stop talking about it! And I find the English dubs to be underrated. I only wish it'd have a 2nd shot like One Piece did.

I'm SO glad you made a review video on F-Zero GP Legend the anime series! Literally NO ONE ever talks about it! I really don't know why, other than what you pointed out in the video: 4Kids aired only 15 episodes. I'll tell ya the US really got screwed when it comes to certain video games, and animes. Great video Stanley! Loved it!!!!! - Brendan

I agree that opening theme is true magic. I just found out about this anime TODAY you're also underrated as a reviewer. Subscribed!

I didn't know about this anime. You made a great review, enough to make me curious to watch this anime.

Beautiful memories!!!

I played Meaning of Truth in the background while playing Smash against my friend the other day and played the best Falcon of my life

Thanks for the video. Watched this anime as part of my racing anime checklist and loved it. I love the characters and Ryu in particular and I love how the plot became very epic by the end. Great show.

good review, encouraged me to check out the whole series right after i'm done with watching this video!

when i was i kid i didn't realize this is F Zero anime. the one i know is this anime is about hovercar racing and that's all and i didn't even remember its name. until i find out the game in Arcade (you guess it. F-Zero AX) that has "The most cool and badass racing game i have ever played!". until i found Captain Falcon from smash bros that from F-Zero that brings me back into F-Zero AX to GX and then looking foward to F-Zero franchise entirely until i found this anime. and i remember! the hovercar racing anime i watch as a kid is in face F-Zero anime. which is makes me mindblowing didn't realize i have ignore this cool anime imo. thankfully im able to watch it until the end. and that was incredible imo.

Pretty sure i watched this as a kid because when i discovered F-zero Cpt falcon felt awfully familiar

This was a great show. But the BEST, yet most heartbreaking part was The Falcon Punch finale~!

So far I've watched all 51 episodes 4 times and I'll still never get tired of it.

We need the anime Falcon Punch in Smash

I really enjoyed this. Good stuff

Hey I know I’m very late. But after successfully finishing the show, I couldn’t help but watch it again. Even with its flaws, it’s a classic in my book personally. It’s just too bad it lead to the end of series for a very long time. But we can all hope to bring this series back.

I'm surprised you never heard of or watched it! I think I personally discovered it during...the later Brawl years, and I really enjoyed it!

I think nintnendo should make a spin off game/anime where they push the captain falcon character based on smash, because thats what he is known for nowadays. Imagine following a story where he has to learn the falcon punch, knee of justice and so on. Or he learns the phoenix punch(a stronger version of the falcon punch) I think that would have a great potential because captain falcon is just a cool character and you could get really creative with that idea (Sorry for bad english)

This was a really good review and made me want to see the F-Zero anime sometime in the future. Will you at some point be looking at other anime adaptations of video game franchises?

started watching f-zero just for captain Falcon while it did take like 30ish episodes for Captain Falcon to step into more of the spot light but i realised thats because he was doing the cool mystery racer kind of guy so it just took longer to get into his story and boy what a story it was

I just watched the first episode (all are available on KZfaq) and pretty good so far. I intend to keep going and who knows : if I end up liking the show enough and watch until the end, I might put it on DVD and add French subtitles.😄Yeah, I am crazy like that.

You forgot to mention the coolest character, Miss Killer!!

It's pretty metal you're using the High Quality rips from this series and it looks soooooo good. Also, the best thing the anime has over GX is Jody and i will not retract my opinion.

Well to be fair...the games I mostly play are based on it

I'm still pretty early in the series but I've been enjoying it so far, it's pretty fun.

FALCUN PUNCH!!

Only 15 episodes? Really? That's shocking. I also remember that on foxbox it had a later time schedule like near the end, in hindsight, not good. The idea would be watch yu-gi-oh like at 7am or something then switch it to foxbox and back and forth iirc. This was the era where pkmn,ultimate muscle, fighting foodons,megaman nt warrior,etc where on air, and by the time gp legend came on, I either missed it, or it was too late. Crazy how this was neglected, but now that I think about it,this could have been big on say toonami. But lack of proper management maybe too blame here, heck viewtiful joe even had a longer showtime than gp-legend and I don't recall anyone talking about that.

Uhh the Street Fighter clip you shown at the beginning was from the cartoon. The actual Street Fighter animes are actually really good.

Anyone know where to watch the dubbed version?

Wait, if they're the police, then why don't they just make it so criminals can't enter F-Zero?

Dame el link de los soundtrack del anime, hace mucho que los estoy buscando porfavor tío senpai :"(

I only knew Captain Falcon from Super Smash Brothers. 😁

This was the very first anime I ever watched, great great memories! :’)

Much Like Touhou Fantasy Kaleidoscope The Memories Of The Phantasm And P4 The Animation They Almost Look Like Anime

I just came back from watching the full series blind (except the Falcon Punch), and yeah, more people need to watch this gem of an anime.

You finally noticed

I finished this anime not too long ago and then checked out the gp legend game after finishing it. Shame that it flopped in the west as its a blast to play

Wasn't there a sequel series with racing mechs, tho??? I could've sword there was.....

I always cry to the ending.

This anime was my favorite show. The racing moments, character development, even good moments. My favorite episode was Songstress Kate Alen because EAD had a role there. Kate and EAD is my favorite pairing in the anime. The anime really made me happy. If I have to choose a favorite character, it would be Rick Wheeler, Jody Summer, Lucy Liberty, Mr. EAD, Kate Alen, Super Arrow, Jack Levin, Clank Hughes, and Dr. Stewart. The anime is 10/10 for me. (EDIT) What are your thoughts on Songstress Kate Alen? #MrEADNeedsMoreRoles #WeNeedAnotherFZeroAnime #MakeaNewFZeroGameNintendo

I thought the F-Zero GP Legend Video Game was selling well thanks to that...F-Zero Mega Moolah Sweepstakes that FoxBox was doing during Late 2004. 😮😯 Where did you get these Raw Episodes in HQ by the way? :)

I used to watch it on 4kids I dont remember it much though but i always watched it with viewtiful joe and kirby

Stanpai NEVER heard of the F-Zero GP Legend anime untill Now?! Yo thats BLASPHEMY! XD

This show probably didn't go into how James McCloud is from StarFox or how Zoda is the villain from StarTropics...

This is what Captain Falcon's move set in Smash Bros was based off of.

The possible main reason it flopped here in the U.S is because it was given to censor happy 4kids the company that censored any and everything that they thought was “not child friendly.”

Every time I hear the words "fan service", I cringe hard. Rule 34 ruined everything.

Captain Falcon did not have an anime he merely appeared in one as a Masked Racer/Racer X knock off when the character has never come off as mysterious they also foolishly canonized his techniques from smash bros when nothing has ever been confirmed in an official title prior to GP Legends that he has pyrokinetic abilities. This anime deserved my disdain and it deserves everyone else as well. If you want a good F-Zero anime watch Nascar Racers it has great voice acting, great writing, doesn't alter the ethnicity of the main character because they have an anti-foreign policy that should have died upon creation. F-ZERO fans deserved better.
