IGPX: Immortal Grand Prix (2005)

1 - Time to Shine

By 2048, motor racing has evolved into a popular fighting race called IGPX, a competition of humanoid high-speed mechs running at 600 km/h. As the winner of the IG-2, Team Satomi is now joining the top league, the IG-1. But on the other side of the shining glory, the young team suffers for a total lack of teamwork. To begin with, defense pilot Liz does not get along with Takeshi, the forward; they always get into fights. And when Takeshi meets with Yamma, from the next opponent, Team Sledgemama, he gets a harsh greeting. Will Team Satomi make it in the IG-1?

2 - Win or Lose

The new IG-1 season opens. The first opponent for the rookies of Team Satomi is Team Sledgemama, known for its rough play. While Sledgemamas leader Yamma relentlessly aims at Takeshi, Liz and Amy desperately fight back, but the battle in the IG-1 is tougher than anybody in Team Satomi had imagined. Takeshi looses confidence and the team spirit slumps for the worst. Then a depressed Takeshi meets Princess Fantine from Team Skylark, the idol of the IG-1.

3 - Black Egg

Air date: October 19, 2005 Withdrawal from the IGPX was the decision of company headquarters. Team manager Satomi Satomi is astounded. The board of directors only gave the team one day. The race has already started, so Satomi leaves for the racetrack, but she cant keep calm inside. Now at the race, the opponent Team Black Egg takes an aggressive defense-only strategy. Takeshi and his teammates encounter difficulty shaking off the tough defense. Can Team Satomi crack the egg?

4 - Under the Name of the Emperor

The brain of Team Satomi is Amy. She has been called a genius since she was little, but she has a problem she would never tell anyone. Meanwhile, Takeshi is walking along the racetrack and meets Team Satomis next opponent, the champion team Velshteins Cunningham, who graciously tells Takeshi, theres a whole world of difference between our abilities. Takeshi is baffled. How is Team Satomi going to challenge the dominating team Velshtein?

5 - Come Together

The second pilot River is restless thinking about Team Satomis match with the champions of Velshtein and his present position in the team. I will drive the forward machine. Nothing will stop me! Meantime, Satomi has gone to see someone for some crucial parts for her mechs. But this turns to be a stubborn old man and gives Satomi a hard time. Late at night in the mechanic room, River climbs on the forward machine... What are his intentions? Could Team Satomi get new machine parts on time?
