Since I’m on the topic of sports anime, I figure I may as well use this platform to evangelize for an even more obscure title…

Not only is Capeta a sports anime, but one about one I don’t especially care about – motorsports. It passed under the radar a few years ago without much attention. But it’s good – the kind of series that creeps up on you and before you realize it, you’re sweating and shouting and raising your hands in triumph or groaning in despair. It’s the characters that matter, and this series makes you really care for them – especially the likable and inspiring lead, Taira Capeta. The action sequences are terrific too. Be open-minded and give it a shot – you might be surpised…
