Our first look at Fall's other auto racing anime, Overtake! - the one I had much higher hopes for. And for good reason, as it turns out.

Overtake! Review
Overtake! is a drama anime built around the high-speed world of Formula 4 racing. But, is it more of a drama or racing series?
Overtake! – 04
One of the hallmarks of a good sports anime is that it can do a competition episode and a no-competition episode and have both be compelling.
Overtake! – 09
「厄災の日 -What really happened?-」 (Yakusai no Hi: What Really Happened?) "The Day of the Disaster -What really happened?-" Take a picture, it’ll last longer.
Overtake! – 07
「露出アンダー -What I really feel...-」 (Roshutsu Under: What I Really Feel...) "Underexposure -What I really feel...-" "Like a picture, I was overexposed."
Overtake! – 01
「走る男」 (Hashiru Otoko) "The Man Who Races" “I know this track. I've raced it a thousand times.”
Overtake! – 06
「鈴鹿, 雨 -I don`t want you to race.-」 (Suzuka, Ame: I Don`t Want You to Race.) "Suzuka, Rain -I don`t want you to race.-" When it rains, it pours.
Overtake! – 05
Flame Runner would've been a cooler name for the movie.
Overtake! – 07
Kouya's backstory is quite complicated and dark, and it's well-integrated with the sports side (effectively Haruka's arc).
Overtake! – 11
「ホップ→ステップ→ -Godspeed! Psych!-」 (Hop -> Step ->: Godspeed! Psych!) Hop -> Step -> -Godspeed! Psych!- Who is shadowing who?
Overtake! – 06
If I had a kid I don't think there's any way I could let him or her race cars - the stress would be unbearable.
Overtake! – 09
As this episode wound down I kept thinking of Gegege no Kitarou 2018's Episode 20, "Memories of the Y?ka" (the war one).
Overtake! – 03
Overtake is shaping up as one of the best sports anime of the year. Only it's reported length is a yellow flag at this point.
Overtake! – 05
「炎のランナー -It`s just luck.-」 (Honoo no Runner: It`s Just Luck) "Chariots of Fire -It`s just luck.-" Flame Runner would've been a cooler name for the movie.
Overtake! – 10
「ネバー・セイ・ネバー -It`s gonna be a long race.-」 (Never Say Never: It`s Gonna Be a Long Race) "Never Say Never: It`s Gonna Be a Long Race." Now's not the time to…
Overtake! – 02
There's a lot of personal investment behind this project, and it absolutely shows. Read more
Overtake! – 08
This is assuredly the right decision for Haru in the long run, as Futoshi makes clear in no uncertain terms.
Overtake! – 03
「表彰台まで何キロメートル? -Why?-」 (Hyoushoudai made Nan Kilometer?: Why?) "How Many Kilometers to the Winner`s Podium? Why?" You can't have two number ones.
Overtake! – 02
「ノリと勢い -Told ya, roller coaster.-」 (Nori to Ikioi: Told Ya, Roller Coaster.) "Enthusiasm and Spirit: Told Ya, Roller Coaster." I’m glad Raceman only deals with car racing.
Overtake! – 05
With only 12 eps I kind of hate to see one spent like this, and if it were to be repeated I'd start to get a little worried.
Overtake! – 11
Everything in Overtake! is setting up nicely for what should be a very satisfying ending
Overtake! – 08
「同じ穴のムジナたち -Y’know what makes a fast driver?-」 (Onaji Ana no Mujina-tachi: Y`know What Makes a Fast Driver?) "Birds of a Feather -Y’know what makes a fast driver?-" The hierarchy of…
Overtake! – 04
「過去と後悔 -His good points? Don`t ask me.-」 (Kako to Koukai: His Good Points? Don`t Ask Me.) "The Past and Regrets: His Good Points? Don`t Ask Me." You miss 100% of…
Overtake! – 10
There was no way Overtake was going to try and follow up last week's emotional blockbuster - that would have been pointless.

Overtake! – 12 (END)
「オーバーテイク -Do your best!-」 (Overtake: Do Your Best!) Overtake: Do Your Best! The real Overtake! was the slip-stream we took along the way.
Overtake! – Episode 1
Even if cars going zoom isn't your thing, the intriguing characters and highlight of financial barriers to competing make a good hook.
