One of my best purchases of the year. All episodes here are top notch and include my all-time favorite, the three-part episode "The Most Dangerous Race".
It has been a long time since I've watched the episodes on television, so I can't comment about lack of quality due to compression or shorter lenght of time in some episodes. But I sure think the producers should have put all 52 episodes into one single DVD box.
Technical aspects aside, the episodes are timeless. Adventure, friendship, charismatic villains, cool cars, clever plots. Of course, the potential is limited due to the quality (or lack of it) of some Japanese animated productions. But, considering when it was made (in the sixties), Speed Racer is still head and shoulders above a lot of Japanese productions

All issues of time compression aside, there are several excellent episodes on this DVD:
The Great Plan - watch Speed enter his first professional race and learn the special features of the Mach 5.
Challenge of the Masked Racer - our first introduction to Speed's older brother Rex who ran away from home years ago. This episode and The Great Plan set up the last three episodes in the series.
Race Against the Mammoth Car - a classic two-part episode.
The Most Dangerous Race - forget about physics and enjoy this three-part episode. Very well written and features the Car Acrobatic Team.
I'm 40 now and I still remember rushing home from school to watch Speed Racer on our little black and white TV set. Can't help it, I still love this show!

FYI, I have seen Volume 1 of Speed Racer in two packages. One is faced with "real rubber" which has about 1/16 inch of tread depth. It's pretty cool packaging. There is another package, though, which *looks* exactly the same but is just ink on paper made to look like a tire tread. Caveat emptor! I assume the disc is the same, but IMHO the "real rubber" package really makes this an extra special item.
I'm not overly disappointed in the quality of the video as some appear to be, but it's true that it could be better. There are some scenes where the digital artifacts are distracting or obfuscate important details. Bummer. Perhaps they'll redo it for BlueRay and cram all 50-odd episodes onto one disc!
I'm happy with my "real rubber" tire package and the enclosed DVD, for now. It's the most watched DVD in my entire collection.
