Shradow Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 [center][img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/de/Oban_promo_poster.jpg[/img][/center] [color=#000000][font=sans-serif][size=3]In the year 2082, Earth[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=sans-serif][size=3] has been invited to compete in the Great Race of Ōban, an intergalactic race whose winner can be granted any wish in the world — even bringing back a loved one. The invitation comes from the Avatar, a mysterious entity who ends hostilities between Earth and the sinister race of the Crogs, in return for Earth's entry into the race[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=sans-serif][size=3]. Eva Wei, an Earth student, escapes boarding school[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=sans-serif][size=3] to find her father, Don Wei, president of Wei Racing and the best race manager in the world. Having left his daughter in the care of the boarding school for many years without ever visiting, Don Wei does not seem to recognize Eva as his daughter. Unable to tell her father who she really is, she lands a job as a mechanic[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=sans-serif][size=3] in his team under the name "Molly", a name chosen from a convenient poster on a crate in the hangar. When Wei Racing is ordered by the government to represent Earth at Ōban, Molly stows away as they are taken to a far-off planet[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=sans-serif][size=3]. During the first race, the Whizzing Arrow, the Earth Star-Racer ship, crashes due to sabotage. Its star pilot, Rick Thunderbolt, becomes unable to race. After finding that the gunner, Jordan Wilde, makes a miserable pilot, Molly steals the ship and enters the next race. Don Wei grudgingly decides that the only one who can replace Rick is Molly. Haunted by the death of her mother — a famous star-racer — and the harsh "reunion" with her father, Molly is determined to win so she can be with her parents once again.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=sans-serif][size=3]Just an old anime I have fond memories of.

Susie Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Oh my goodness I remember this series I always remembered seeing it and what the characters were like, but I forgot what it was called I used to love Oban Star Racers so much I wonder what happened to it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 It simply ended. [spoiler=Tis a spoiler]The truth is that the winner of the race isn't granted a wish, but the race is to choose the next avatar. In the end Jordan becomes the Avatar in Eva's place after they win the final race, and after getting used to it they all live happily ever after, Jordan as the Avatar and Eva with her dad.[/spoiler] That's the best that I remember it, I know there were some complications with an antagonist but I don't remember exactly.
