Okay so typically in anime I assume the characters are meant to be Japanese unless otherwise specified, and in Speed Racer's case the original characters have conspicuously Japanese names (Go Mifune, after Toshiro Mifune) But then why does the Mach 5 have left-hand drive

I mean, Speed Racer spends a lot of time traveling internationally, and if the Mach 5 really is his only car then there's a lot more countries with LHD than RHD, but this is honestly overthinking it

i mean the thing is that anime occasionally exists in a weird phantasia america where many of the details are more japanese

It's an important question for determining whether the 2008 Wachowski movie is "whitewashing" and therefore problematic

There's a surprising amount of very American focused anime... I think my favorite is a show about a couple of gun shop owners/detectives, gunsmith cats... I am fairly certain that the Chicago PD frowns on even cute blonde girls carrying around grenade stockpiles
