* UncertainAudience: The anime was a [[AcclaimedFlop flop]] with general audiences despite its good critical ratings -- it revolves around a [[TheBigRace cross-country race]] in a {{Steampunk}}-inspired setting very loosely based on turn of the century America, but despite the over-the-top setting, characters, and action, the series also has multiple character arcs and backstories revolving around serious topics such as women's rights and the folly of revenge. Viewers who tuned in to see colorful, ridiculous action a la ''Anime/{{Redline}}'' found it hard to tolerate the angsty backstories and morals, and those who might have been interested in the characterization found it hard to take seriously because of the more out-there elements, and the series' sales suffered because of it.
