Oban star racers was first born as a short animation that would Skyrocket "Sav-The-world" production studio to embark on a small journey of financing and promotion to bring molly to the small screen in her own 26 episodes animation series.
Oban Star Racers is a france/Japan co-production created by Savin Yeatman-Eiffel and animated by Sav the World! productions(France) and Hal film Maker(Japan) with the 3d Cg handled by Pumpkin 3d.
Yeatman-Eiffel took his sweet time to create the series. That's because he wanted to strike a deal that would still allow him to have control as the creator, all to shape Oban into the series of his dreams. And in a very nice industry case of dreams do come true, the series started airing after nine years of work.
Plot:
In the near future, an intergallactic war between the first sentient species discovered by man; The krogg and the earth forces erupts. Years after the terrible war, it seemed like the earth defense forces managed to attain victory against all odds, repelling the Krogg from earth Orbit.
Enter Eva. A feisty orphan planning a daring escape to find his father: Don wei, owner of Wei racing corp. After finally escaping and infiltrating his father's company: She finds that his father does not remembers her at all and takes up on the alias of Molly and enrolls as a mechanic. Soon, things go Helter-Skelter as goverment forces require the aid of the Wei racing team to compete in an intergalactic race organized by a misterious god-like beign known as the "Avatar".
Of course, things never are what they look quite like and never end as expected, and Molly/Eva embarks on a journey to discover the secrets behind the invasion, her mother's tragic accident, the identity of the avatar and many other revelations that encompass the entire universe.
It's a very heartwarming series with a very cool ending. True, it's a racing-themed series; but the characters are so well thought and the story is so tightly woven that it manages to be one of the most fun series I've ever seen. Besides, the designs are very cute and original.
Oban Star racers gets 5 out of 5 stars of Racing Wayward Orphans.
