Japanese automotive giant Toyota is set to debut a brand-new anime series titled Grip. Scheduled for release on Feb 26, 2024, the five-episode series will be available weekly on Toyota’s official website.
The anime series is produced by Long Beach-based marketing agency Intertrend, and aims to use the essence of Japanese animation with Toyota’s renowned Gazoo Racing motorsport division, to capture both Gen-z and young Asian-American demographics.
A new trailer was revealed to commemorate the announcement.
The series follows protagonist Jae Kang and his companions as they navigate a futuristic metropolis controlled by the tech conglomerate SynthCorp. The series unfolds in a time where the joy of driving has been suppressed by SynthCorp’s dominance. Led by the enigmatic Dr. Synth, the corporation has convinced the public of the superiority of its cookie-cutter vehicles, which he has successfully persuaded the public to perceive as safer, more efficient and will lead to a more controlled society.

This Fall season Crunchyroll has started releasing episodes for Mf Ghost and Overtake! The Man Who Races, giving audiences not one but two racing anime shows after years without them. The genre hasn't had much representation in recent years, so it would be a waste to skip out on either while they're airing. This may be the best chance to watch racing anime and understand the allure of cars in animation.
It's been nearly a decade since Initial D's last season was broadcast, and since then car shows have been a minority and out of sight. It's, therefore, surprising to have two different racing shows turn up this season. But this only means there is no better opportunity to see what the genre has to offer to new audiences. Crunchyroll steps up and delivers two racing anime shows that will surely pique the interest of fans.

Everyone loves fun car films. With Fast X spawning a spin-off and sequel and Gran Tusimo (out on VOD Tuesday) doing decent business at the box office, the genre isn’t going anywhere. We thought now would be a good time to check out some less-known (or underrated) entries into the genre.
Taxi
We’re going to cheat right off the start by counting this whole series and one entry on this list. The films here are action-comedy classics for fans of French movies and those who love a good car stunt. The first established the characters, but the second is possibly the best of the bunch. Only die-hard fans will want to bother from the third to the fourth to the fifth. However, those first two are worth seeking out what the French do with a modified Peugeot 406, the vacation town of Nice, and a cast that most will recognize from other movies.

Anime is an endlessly versatile animated storytelling that grows more ambitious and creative with each passing year. There are modern anime classics like Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, or Fruits Basket, but it’s fair to say that none of these current hits would be where they are without the innovative series from the ‘90s.
The ‘90s were a crucial turning point for anime that helped expand the medium’s horizons as well as introduce some series that have become permanent parts of the anime landscape. There are naturally some ‘90s series that are products of their time, but there are even more standout programs that pushed anime forward.

One of the most iconic anime of the 1990s and early 2000s is Initial D – it's even recognized by non-anime fans. The classic drift racing series quickly became a firm part of the international anime landscape, thanks in part to its somewhat jarring use of early CGI and its pulse-pounding Eurobeat soundtrack. Despite how enduring the property has been throughout the decades, its mostly overlooked sequel hasn't raced to the same type of success.
Mf Ghost began publication in Kodansha's Weekly Young Magazine in 2017, over 20 years after its predecessor started. Unfortunately, it hasn't had nearly as much mainstream success or recognition as Initial D, however. This stems from the quality of the work itself to how much the first series was a product of its time. Now that Mf Ghost is getting an anime adaptation, its relation to Initial D and comparative lack of success is worth exploring.

When it comes to sports anime, the premise is usually a group of high school students playing a team-based sport, whether that's volleyball, baseball, tennis or basketball. However, a few have strayed away from the usage of ball sports to focus on lesser-known or less popular ones such as rock wall climbing or ice hockey. Although some might not think it counts as a sport, competitive car racing has also had its fair share of anime in the industry given its popularity in Japan.
Beginning in the late 1960s with Speed Racer, multiple racing anime have been produced, each one giving off a strong rush of adrenaline.

HONG KONG -- New Stephen Chow comedy "CJ7", which cleaned up at the local boxoffice during the Chinese New Year holiday period, is providing the inspiration for the world's first film-inspired, motion-sensing mobile phone game, Sony Pictures Television International and Sony Ericsson said Tuesday.
"The high penetration rate of mobile phones in Asia presents us with a growing market for our branded movie and TV-based mobile content," said Rosemary Tan, SPTI's director of mobile entertainment Asia. "The CJ7 mobile pack is a vivid example of our dedicated effort in developing cutting edge mobile content,"
The plot of "CJ7" revolves around a struggling man who discovers the titular alien in a garbage dump one night and presents it to his son as a toy. In the mobile game, users must care for and look after the daily needs of CJ7.
The "E.T".-inspired CJ7 is the first CGI character in a Chinese-language film. It was created by Hong Kong's Menfond Electronic Art, whose portfolio includes "Initial D", "A Chinese Tall Story" and "Fearless".
Rather than use the keypad to control the action of the game, the user need only shake their mobile telephone.

HONG KONG -- A Christmas push from a boy wizard and a giant ape failed to push Media Asia's Initial D off the top rung of Hong Kong's 2005 boxoffice chart, according to figures released by the Hong Kong, Kowloon and New Territories Motion Picture Industry Assn. Harry Potter knocked Pixar's The Incredibles off its second spot with $4.48 million after 10 days of release, while King Kong lumbered into fourth place with $3.92 million. Both Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and King Kong are still in release. Tom Cruise's War of the Worlds managed fifth place with $3.02 million, just slightly ahead of Mr & Mrs Smith which took $2.98 million. These were followed by Howl's Moving Castle, Madagascar and Constantine.
HONG KONG -- Media Asia's Initial D topped the Hong Kong boxoffice for the year through Dec. 16 with a gross of $4.85 million, according to figures released by the Hong Kong, Kowloon and New Territories Motion Picture Industry Assn. The adaptation of a popular Japanese manga of the same name was released during the summer and featured the film debut of Taiwanese singing heartthrob Jay Chou. Chou played a tofu delivery boy with an inherent talent for car racing. Hong Kong's top grosser for 2005 was a steep drop from last year's boxoffice champion Kung Fu Hustle, which became the highest-grossing Hong Kong production of all time with a take of $7.69 million.
