HIGHSPEED Étoile

HIGHSPEED Étoile is an original TV anime produced by studio A-CAT, directed by Keitaro Motonaga, with series composition by Takamitsu Kono. Crafted as a modern action sports series with a passionate shounen spirit, the project is launched under the HIGHSPEED Étoile Project banner. Centered on Rin Rindou, this high-octane animated series delivers a thrilling blend of competitive intensity and youthful drive in a contemporary setting.

HIGHSPEED Étoile takes place in a world where motorsport has been pushed beyond imagination. Rin Rindou grew up with a passionate dream of becoming a ballet dancer, but an injury forced her to step away from the stage she loved. Settling into a peaceful life alongside her grandmother, she seemed to have found a new sense of calm — until fate intervened in the most unexpected way, pulling her into the electrifying realm of professional racing. At the center of this new world is the NEX Race, a groundbreaking motorsport competition where machines hurtle at speeds surpassing 500 km/h, redefining what it means to push the limits of human and machine alike. For Rin, a girl who once chased perfection through dance, this high-octane arena presents a challenge unlike anything she has ever known.
