I don't know anything about this show, I suppose a racing theme could be pretty interesting. But gosh, can that logo be any more generic? It looks pretty bad...

That show was aired in Singapore (where I lived, finished airing recently) and I have to break it to you that it's as lame as it seems. The story is extremely generic, the voice-acting is bad and be prepared to see plenty of CG shots that does not blend together with the 2D animation. Just... don't expect it to stand out from the rest of other racing theme series. Last edited by Vampire Reverse on Thu Jun 07, 2012 9:26 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Yay, another toyetic anime for Saturday mornings that'll be put at six in the morning to make room for the only one of them CN has ever had success with; it's dear Pokemon.

It looks like it's made for little kids. I'll pass on this one.

I knew it was gonna be a Pokemon clone. Don't blame 'em, but still.

I'm still waiting for a REAL racing anime to come up...come on, Japan, with a tuner scene as big as yours why hasn't it happened yet?!
I really need to start Initial D one day... |

At least the names "Bakugan" and "Beyblade" seem unique and catchy. I can't even say Scan2go has that much.
I don't wish ill of the series yet, but c'mon people be creative. |

Scan2Go sounds like a service provided by Kinko's, not whatever 'cool thing that all the kids are into' this is supposed to be. I'd guess that this will amount to something less than a marketing triumph.

It's not even real anime, since it never aired in Japan. Why doesn't CN license some good kids' properties like Pretty Cure or Phi Brain?

Because Caucasian Middle-Class Boys don't want shows about girls. Sad, but true. On a completely unrelated note, your avatar is frickin' adorable. |

I think the fact that Scan2Go's Wikipedia page skimps on details but still includes a section on merchandise says something about the intent of this series.

Another crappy anime. CN will air it for a few episodes then cancel it for poor ratings. Just so CN can use it as a excuse for why they don't air anime.

Legend of Korra would like to have a word with you. Cartoon Network's want of toyetic franchises makes me wonder why they didn't keep Sym-Bionic Titan going. |

I'm legit surprised this got picked up by CN. Good going Cookie Jar! However, I suspect this thing will get the Saturday morning 6AM death slot.
Written by Japanese people. Animated (well, probably just key animated) by Japanese people. Directed by Japanese people. Funded in part by Japanese people. Not a Japanese show because it didn't air in Japan. Makes sense. |

I don't see anything about the writing and direction being done by the Japanese. For all we know, it could simply be a case of animation outsourcing, like Madhouse episodes of The Boondocks. |
