Description
They may be the returning champions, but Team Satomi is about to find out that keeping their title in this season Immortal Grand Prix won't be any easier. Faced with operating system failures, team injuries, and a new team that isn't afraid to play by the rules, Takeshi will have to buckle down and learn that it's not all about speed and power in the IG-1, but teamwork that will bring back another championship. Luckily, he'll not only have the support of his friends, but of the living legend himself: Rocket G! From Production IG! Studios. Genre: Action/Sci-Fi/Sports.

 Again Igpx is the best!!!!!!!!!!!! August 9, 2008
Here i go again so i bought the first season and loved it and now i've bought the second season anyway in this season there not the rookies anymore there the champions and the team to beat!
With a shakey start they lose alot of confidence and start looking slopy then takeshi finaly wakes up and start's acting like the champion he truly is and with the help of his teamates and some new help with some old skills (when one of there teamates gets hurt) nothing can stop Team Satomi.
Oh and with this season you can realate to takeshi not like last season when alot of people realated to river now i bet most people relate to takeshi cause he lets him being the champion go to his head and makes him lose sight of whats really going on.
last season proboly had a bit more action well both the seasons even out but with this season there are alot of answers where they left off of the first season.
well this is the final season (wish there were more on the way but i guess not =[) so prepare for a good one cause it rocks oh and theres a new team called white snow (this years rookies) (thow there not really pure) replaceing team black egg.
Well i hope you buy this season (of corse after you buy the first lol) trust me you wont regret it if you like Racing,robots and fighting with some drama so go and buy it already..........
........ oh and do i smell love in the air?
The second and final hot thrilling season! July 29, 2008
This is the second and final season of IGPX and its just as action packed as the first one! This time the main characters are the champions and ever other team is out to get them. There really isnt much to say if you saw my review for the first season, its all the same action packed series with alittle twist and a little more action. Its great! For all out there who love action anime this one is for you. (Dont forget to buy the first season before this one) Its just a suggestion!
 Still gets 4 stars, despite one BIG DVD flaw. July 16, 2007

While I normally wouldn't review IGPX DVDs outside of my website, I think it is worth mentioning one big point that I believe consumers need to know before going out to buy this set on this site. The 5.1 Surround sound does not work properly. Instead of providing genuine 5.1 channels of sound, it fronts all 5 channels to the front 3 channels, and then the back 2 channels barely output any sound. Bandai (the publisher/distributor) won't fix it or replace it because it still outputs some sound, so they can claim that it is a 5.1 mix, but anyone with a 5.1 setup can tell it is not.
I am still giving it 4 stars for a rating because that only affects about 1% of the consumers buying this set. That's because the 2.0 mix works fine. It is definitely something you should know before buying. It's actually rather odd, as the Season 1 set and all other IGPX DVDs prior did not have this problem. It's a big deal to me, because I am an audiophile. It's not just that-it's just I really wanted to hear these episodes in 5.1 sound. However, that issue doesn't change the 2.0 Stereo mix, and that is awesome. The music and sound effects that were added/changed from the other volumes for the Toonami version that was aired on TV are all excellent. While some episodes suffer from a few seconds of cut footage, the majority stay in tact, and provide excellent sound experiences.
Also keep in mind that there is no Japanese audio, but that's what the other DVDs are for. This set also includes numerous extras, including audio commentary for some episodes, and promos. Overall, you will likely appreciate this set if your a fan of the show, and don't mind some cut footage. Just be warned that if you are that 1% who is buying this thinking you'll hear true 5.1 surround sound, you won't. I thought I could actually get into these sound mixes, but I was very disappointed. At least I can somewhat enjoy them, but it is really sad to listen to stereo quality sound (especially when the other DVDs are 5.1 quality) on a 5.1 system.
A nice overlooked series May 7, 2007

Although this season wasn't quite as climactic as the first one, it's still exciting and fun to watch.
