Overview

Overtake! (Japanese: オーバーテイク!) is a Japanese television anime series centered on the fictional motorsport team Komaki Motors (小牧モータース). The official website presents it as a TV anime, with the copyright line ©KADOKAWA・TROYCA/オーバーテイク!製作委員会, indicating that the production is a joint effort between KADOKAWA and TROYCA under a production committee. The series is set in the world of competitive auto racing, following the team's struggles and ambitions as they work toward reaching the podium. The story follows the team's driver, Yu, and the photographer Koya, whose personal and professional journeys intertwine with the racing season. Episode synopses describe races, tire problems, sponsorship difficulties, and the emotional stakes of competing without a large budget. The narrative emphasizes perseverance, teamwork, and the desire to stand on the podium despite limited resources. The anime aired in Japan and has been rebroadcast on BS11, with special theatrical screenings such as the all-episode event at Tachikawa Cinema City. The official site serves as the primary hub for news, story summaries, and broadcast information. The series is a commercial media product, not a real-world racing team or automotive brand, though its fictional team name, Komaki Motors, is used as the domain for the official website. As a brand, Overtake! represents a transmedia anime property owned by its production committee, with KADOKAWA and TROYCA as the primary creative and licensing entities. Its identity is tied to the motorsport theme and the fictional underdog team, appealing to fans of sports and character-driven drama.
