Some Help

Could anyone here find some info on the IGPX Video game and fix the old dated main page entry? It seems odd that no one touched this page since September.--WngLdr34 05:01, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Just a Note

Yeah, I updated the regular series section for this article, but I'm wondering if the two shows are actually related. I doubt it, but I want to know what you think. ~ JP The Wanderer 16:45, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Episode 2

Anybody know when I can catch IGPX Ep.2 anytime but Saturday, November 12, 2005 at 10:30pm; and still before Saturday, November 19, 2005 at 10:30pm? My curfew's 9:30 instead of the usual 10:30 tonight... --Wack'd About Wiki 02:41, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Cartoon Cartoons

Is this a cartoon cartoon? It's a Toonami original, and Toonami is a Cartoon Network original so techneclly... --Wack'd About Wiki 21:18, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

It is not one by they own admission of calling it a "Toonami Original Series" rather then a Cartoon Cartoon. Also I believe most of the Cartoon Cartoons made were done mostly by Cartoon Network Studios or local animation studios. Immortal Grand Prix obviously has a major and well-known anime studio, who equal credit is given to, Production I.G, helping to produce this show almost entirely overseas. It is also not perhaps solely an original Cartoon Network idea as Production I.G is said to have first approached Cartoon Network with the "IGPX" concept back around 2003. At first Cartoon Network was hesitant about such a series, so instead of a full series opted for the mircoseries whose major success and popularity spurred Cartoon Network to go back to Production I.G asking for a longer series with some changes to the general idea of the IGPX. This of course eventually lead to the anime television series currently airing on Cartoon Network, which is very different then the microseries. These differences from the original microseries might be from ideas offered to Production I.G from Cartoon Network hence how in part it might have become a Toonami Original Series by both Production I.G and Cartoon Network rather then a Cartoon Cartoon.

Relation between the Miniseries and TV series

There is an interview at Animenation[1] that mentions how the TV series evolved from the miniseries/pilot episodes. They kept the competition, battle aspect and the characters, but changed the mechs so they could race as well. Ana 20:15, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

That voice...

Isn't the voice of Luca also the voice of Haruhara Haruko from FLCL? 03:47, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

You are right, it is Kari Wahlgren, who is also the voice of the team manager Michiru Satomi in Immortal Grand Prix TV Series and interestingly also Liz Ricarro in the Immortal Grand Prix Microseries. Ryokosha 05:31, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Season 2

I am curious why the Season 2 Episode titles were taken down? I know they haven't aired on Cartoon Network yet but they are known titles and I believe have aired on Japan, so why are they down at this time? Ryokosha 21:03, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

When Season 2 resumes

Does anyone know if season 2 will also air at 10:30 Saturday's or an earlier time?

Gunnm's Motorball possible influence

Hi, i just got the IGPX ps2 game today, don't know about the series, but to me this game IGPX is a copy of the [Motorball] (Cobra's Rugball inspired) racesport that can be found in the Gunnm (aka Battle Angel Alita in your country) manga. Don't you think? It is almsot the same thing except there is no ball. Even the fall of characters and their running style seems to be inspired by Yukito Kishiro's work. Here's a really impressive [Motorball CG animation (26MB)], don't know who did it but it's good quality work. EnthusiastFRANCE 05:36, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

While the two are similar, the original concept of IGPX (the microseries) did not include any racing aspect, as far as I know. There have been many examples of mech combat in anime, so while the additional racing aspect could have been influenced by Battle Angel, it's just as likely that the CN suits wanted a NASCAR atmosphere to add to the show.

Explaniation of IGPX mecha

Can anyone please put up a section explaining how the IGPX mecha work, or should I just go to another article? Ever since I saw an episode last night, I've been very interested. Thank you. 71.111.215.224 01:09, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Uncut vs. Edited

What's the difference? Should we edit the differences in? --Gaming King 04:57, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Team ?

Hello.I am the person who FIRST found out about team?Thank you to whoever edited it but please,give me info on this page.I have a picture but I cant gety it on here.

DVD Release Dates?

Fridays! That's just great! Well, looks like I'll have to buy the final DVD to see the end of the story. Thanks a lot, Toonami! >:(

Well, anyway, is it known when that DVD will be out, or any more DVDs, for that matter? --Gaming King 06:03, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

DVD Boxsets

I am requesting that someone make a table of all of the DVD sets and their release dates, possibly in the style of the DVD table on the Space Ghost Coast to Coast page. I'd do it myself, but I'm not completely familiar with the table format. Interrupt_feed 22:24, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Velshtein forward?

Why is the name of Velshtein's forward listed as Alex Cunningham? The character's name is Cunningham Hume. - 23:31, 28 July 2006 (CDT)

Looks like someone fixed it. DestradoZero 16:02, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Animation style differences

Does anyone know about the reasons for the difference in animation styles? I've only seen stills so far here and on ProductionIG's website. One looks 2-D while the other (the longer version?) looks 3-D. Is that one 100% 3-D or is it a mixture? And could the reasoning behind this be added. Was it that Cartoon Network felt 2-D was old fashioned? Was it marketing? Was it just to get the show done before a certain deadline? I've read of some series in the past, the Robotech Macross for example, had used different people or studios? to do the drawing resulting in one episode looking slightly different from the next due to time constraints. As an anime fan and not having seen either I am also interested in other differences. The two pics at the top of the article, the top one is darker, the bottom one is all bright and sunny. Is this the general mood of both in their entireties? Also if they are different like this, could such differences be added and perhaps reasoning, if any, as to why this changed? 67.53.78.15 15:19, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

The differences are caused by the fact that those are two completely different series. Perhaps, you could, y'know, read the article? =P XFactorInfinity 03:53, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Of course it is 2 different shows. I probably should have stuck to my question on anime. But, apparently Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z and GT are different shows as well, but they have the same animation style. And the three shows that ended up in the US as Robotech, the variations there are not as drastic as the variations between these two. So they being two different shows in itself isn't reason enough for the variations in animation style. Maybe I should just scour fan pages instead. Probably more to sift through, but it's probably at least there. 67.53.78.15 22:00, 8 May 2007 (UTC) 21:58, 8 May 2007 (UTC).

Ah, I see your point. The fact is, IGPX Micro, the first series, was pitched to CN as is. It's in essense a pilot, but split into five episodes.

CN later felt like going in a different direction with the series when they later went to IG, and the two worked out a completely different show. DBZ and DBGT are different shows that follow each other up: IGPX and IGPX micro have nothing in common other than the name and the production company. I hope that clears things up. =) XFactorInfinity 00:03, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

OK, yes. But i still deserve your first response. 67.53.78.15 23:38, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

OVA?

There is a strangely small addition to the article describing the decline in popularity. Although this is very true, it says an OVA is set for 2009. Could someone confirm this? If not true, it shouldn't be in the article. XFactorInfinity 03:58, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I can't find anything. I'm removing it. If anyone can find conclusive evidence to the contrary, then I'll put it back. XFactorInfinity 08:20, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Expanding On Video Game?

There is only a small snippet on the video game. I would think it's deserving of it's own section in the artcle. I'll add it later. XFactorInfinity 15:03, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to help on that if I can Fokkerfanjet (talk) 00:24, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Rules

Both Satomi and Velshtein called up running sekeltons in the same race during season 2 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fokkerfanjet (talk • contribs) 00:25, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Split off characters section?

The information on the various teams and characters takes up an enormous amount of space. I think it would make sense to split that section off into a new article, which would be named List of Immortal Grand Prix characters or something similar. tktktk (talk) 03:11, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Since there are no objections, I'll go ahead with this. It seems appropriate given the "excessive detail" tags. tktktk (talk) 01:04, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
