I thought the music was good and well-used. The action of the races and the backgrounds are done well enough and I thought the general style was really appropriate to the atmosphere of the story. The character designs remind me a lot of Hajime no Ippo. I'm not a huge fan of the way the characters look, but it's fine. It doesn't even come close to original or unique and it's pretty repetitive (how many obstacles and disadvantages does one kid have to face?!?!), but it's loaded with fighting spirit and nail-biting races. I'm kind of a sucker for this sort of story so I don't know how much you should trust me, but I found the story entertaining and heartwarming. It feels a little young and simple, but there's plenty of action and drama and excitement. It starts with Capeta in elementary school and follows him through his mid-teens. Toss in the additional weight of a bunch of financial difficulties with his never-die attitude and you've basically got Rocky (or Hajime no Ippo) in a go kart. It's not an unfamiliar story: a humble working class kid (Capeta) with a natural aptitude for a sport struggles to climb to the top. Personally, I'm not big on racing in real life, but I found it really fun and exciting here. Capeta is a blue-collar, work your hands to the bone sort of sports anime about racing (mostly go karts).
