...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. Team Satomi, a crew of amateur pilots, has just won a minor-league championship, vaulting them into the sport’s highest level, the IG-1. Now, the untested rookies of Team Satomi must overcome impossible odds and beat the world’s most skilled and ruthless pilots in the planet’s biggest event, the “Immortal Grand Prix.”This is IGPX, the latest anime creation from Production I.G. and Cartoon Network. Directed by Mitsuru Hongo, IGPX takes extreme sports to a whole new level. Expected to be a Toonami feature in late 2005, promises to be an exciting new addition to our anime collection.
