IGPX, which stands for Immortal Grand Prix, was a futuristic sports anime series that aired on Cartoon Network from 2005 to 2006. The show was a unique combination of sci-fi and sports, which attracted a wide range of audiences. Michelle Rodriguez, Haley Joel Osment, and Peter Cullen provided their voices to the show's main characters, which added to the show's appeal.

The show revolved around a futuristic racing league, the IGPX, where teams of mechas (giant robots) raced against each other. The league had teams from all over the world and was a crowd-puller, drawing fans from across the planet.

The story followed Team Satomi, a young and inexperienced team, as they rose from the bottom of the league and competed against seasoned teams. The team consisted of Takeshi, Liz, and Amy, three talented pilots who worked tirelessly to make a name for themselves in the IGPX.

The show's plot was not just limited to the racing league. It also had a captivating behind-the-scenes story, following the various challenges and rivalries between the teams. This aspect of the show made it even more engaging and kept viewers on their toes.

IGPX also depicted cutting-edge gaming technology and futuristic designs, which added to the visual appeal of the show. The mecha designs were particularly impressive and had a unique, sleek look that set them apart from other giant robots seen in anime.

Michelle Rodriguez played the role of Liz Ricarro, the IGPX team's mechanic. She was responsible for maintaining and upgrading the team's mecha, which played a crucial role in the team's success. Rodriguez's character was fierce and determined, and her strong personality helped the team through many challenges.

Haley Joel Osment played the role of Takeshi Jin, the team's captain and star pilot. He was a natural talent in the league, and his skills were unmatched. However, Takeshi's abilities alone were not enough to win races. He had to rely on his teammates' skills and work as a team to succeed, which was a recurring theme throughout the show.

Peter Cullen provided his voice to the role of the team's coach, U-T. He was a seasoned veteran in the league and was famous for his no-nonsense approach. His guidance and advice were invaluable to the team, and his presence added to the show's star-studded cast.

Overall, IGPX was a thrilling anime series that combined sports with futuristic technology. The show had a captivating plot and an array of unique characters that made it an instant hit with fans.
