In the year 2048, people are raving about a fighting race called "Immortal Grand Prix", or IGPX in short, which is faster and more exciting than any of the existing motor sports. The phenomenon is so big that an entire city was built for the racing industry where competitions take place on a huge track. In the "Immortal Grand Prix," two teams of three IG machines, high-tech humanoid mechs driven by humans, race at speeds greater than 400km/h. The teams make three laps of a 60 km course while intercepting the opponent as they vie for a first place finish. The best machine performance, the best pilots and the best teamwork are the only factors that can make them the winners.
The new season starts this year, as Team Satomi, winner of the lower league IG-2 past season, joins the top league IG-1 competition. Under the guidance of Satomi, the team shrewd female owner, four young pilots, Takeshi, Liz, Amy and River, run for the top of the world! But their opponents in the league overwhelm Team Satomi in every aspect, including strategy and skill, as well as funding. How are Takeshi and his comrades going to face the challenge?

Now I've got to check it out!

Oh! I've been watching this religiously. It's really good, actually. You can pull up a couple episodes on Youtube, if anyone is interested.
Yes, the cat is telepathic. But that's also a really bad picture. His name is Luca and he's ADORABLE!
And Liz, of course, is a tomboy, but she's lovable. Honestly, one of my favorite characters. You can really tell it's Michelle, and she does a fantastic job.
I secretly ship Liz with River, because he reminds me of Sawyer...
My name is Alli, and I have a problem....I'm addicted to Sana.

:yeah: ;)
Never seen it, but looks cute :D For anime at least :P
InMemoriam - September 30, 2006 01:03 AM (GMT)
It's cute, Hoelli. Just saw an episode (26?) on youtube and it put me off at first, cause, y'know...giant robots and a psychic cat? Come on! But I enjoyed it immensely.

i just used that photo because when that came up me and my friends were already hysterical about the cat and its attitude...then when they go to attack the other team the screen splits in three and you see liz, the other chick and then BAM the cat in the middle with that face...we had to pause the dvr because we all broke down laughing so much....
now when ever we need to make our friends happy or something we just say "catface" and try to copy that...
also at the end of the finals when takeshi tells liz he appreciates her and she punches him...she said it was cuz she wasnt used to him doin that...and then a lil while later her sys 'thank you' and she just says 'shut up'...my friends and i do that now to...of course only to eachother since others may be offended...

That's what he gets for calling her "baby"!
So all I need to do to get Michelle to go out with me is ask her out on a rooftop with unnecessarily intense music playing in the background?
I have to check out more of this series!
Oh, and I've got three more words for you Leigh...
Samurai Pizza Cats
I sh-t you not.
