MF Ghost follows a young English-Japanese racer, Kanata, as he participates in Japan’s high-speed Motorsports event called the MFG. Promising high-speed motorsports action, this anime delivers exactly that. With amazingly animated race sequences, the show delves into the technicalities of the sport and race automobiles. However, it makes a poor attempt at building a plot and storyline.

Season 1’s story begins with Kanata’s move from England to Japan in search of his father. During his time, he stays with a family friend in the city of Kamakura while trying to find his way. With a background in hardcore racing, Kanata tries his hand at the MFG tournament and successfully completes the qualifying round, securing a spot in the top 15 for the next round.

The races in MF Ghost Season 1 are filled with speed and power, showcasing incredible driving skills and delivering adrenaline-pumping races. Each competitor utilizes different cars, leveraging their unique attributes to compete. Kanata opts for a borrowed Toyota 86, a powerful car that lacks power.

This disadvantage becomes apparent on uphill sections or long straights. However, the track’s numerous turns allow Kanata, with his skill and precision, to optimize his path, gaining an advantage. He strategically forms a slipstream with competitors to compensate for his car’s power deficiency, showcasing a fusion of passion and technical prowess.

Season 1 attempts to reveal Kanata’s life but struggles due to its structural limitations. His primary reason for coming to Japan is to find his father, but the series fails to include sufficient content to build anticipation for his appearance.

Additionally, the anime tries to introduce a romantic angle between Kanata and the daughter of the family he stays with. However, their relationship feels distant, lacking the depth to carry emotional weight. The characters seem underdeveloped, leaving the romance and dynamics devoid of any depth.

Ultimately, MF Ghost is a speed-driven spectacle that admirably caters to racing enthusiasts. However, for those seeking a substantial storyline or compelling character arcs, the series falls short.
