    In IGPX, the year is 2048 and the "IGPX" has become the world's most-popular sport. It's so big that an entire city was built for the racing industry where competitions take place on a huge, 60-mile track called "The Big Eye." In the "Immortal Grand Prix," two teams of three Mechs, high-tech fighting machines driven by humans, race at speeds greater than 350 mph.

    Gah. Mechs. Before I clicked on the link I knew there would be mechs in there somewhere. I could care less about damn gun mech-centric anime.

    I haven't watched Cartoon Network in a while so I had no clue what "Toonami" was nor what "IGPX" was. (I wasn't "highly anticipating" it either).

    Shouldn't they at least have posted a link to the official website?

    Toonami is just riding the Japanese fad right now, anyone who has access to a PC has already found fansubs and is downloading them rather then watching the poor quality dubs. Do we honestly care what a children's channel does?

    How about we start seeing news on how Tech TV has started a new show based on sex, drugs and sports instead? Same thing really, anyone who cares isn't here..

    Just what we need, more bug eyed cartoon freaks. Is there some sort of contest among the anime people to see who can do a whole cartoon in the fewest frames? Can't they be a little more..oh, I don't know,animated?
