Hey, guys. This is Olukayode Osisanya, a.k.a. Highway 355 Racing. What if there was a manga and anime about diecast racing? Would it be cool to watch?

Interesting concept...Initial D only smaller? Lol - I think there's an audience for just about anything these days, and manga/anime isn't getting any less popular. Grab your pencils and start drawing!

I'd watch it! I don't watch manga or anime regularly but if the subject matter interests me I do. If there was one about diecast racing, I think it might work. But, that's just my opinion.

Gundam Build Fighters, but for die cast racing? I'd watch it.

That's what I was thinking too — JBlotner42

Redline, but 1/64 scale.

THIS!! Speed Racer sci-fi with a crazy story premise but somehow it works. — GspeedR

a unique well done "noir" street race thing could be cool
maybe like mark @ gtr did with the street scene, but use that as the "catch box"
contact = conflict = story line during racing

a modern speed racer, but with some actual die cast action sounds fun!
I'd watch it

I'm excited to see what kind of manga/anime it'll be, mate! Maybe something with a Toyota, a Nissan, or any other JDM car!

I'm a bit confused whether this would be media portraying to people racing diecast... or a tale in 1/64 scale from the perspective of the drivers. Or a combination thereof.

But it sounds intriguing!

You could take an existing actual race (like the Gravity Chaos Rally Series) and use the placings, race happenings etc as the guide but make the story around the missing parts, driver interactions, then racing with views inside the cars etc. Then it's a perfect combination of the two things :) — Chaos_Canyon
