1980s Classic Anime Leave it to Mecha-Doc Comes to HIDIVE

Attention classic anime fans!

HIDIVE has brought a nostalgic gem back to the spotlight: the 1980s racing series Leave it to Mecha-Doc.

The story follows Jun Kazami, a skilled 18-year-old tuner, and his team at their shop, Mechadoc.

Unlike many high-octane racing shows, this series stands out for its realistic focus on automotive mechanics, detailing the process of upgrading everyday cars for intense competition.

While it was a hit in Japan, it remained largely overlooked in the West for decades.

Now, as part of HIDIVE's June 2026 initiative to revitalize underrated Tatsunoko classics, modern audiences can finally experience this technical racing treasure.

Available in a subbed format, the show is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys the roots of car-culture anime, serving as a perfect predecessor to later hits like Initial D.

Whether you are an automotive enthusiast or just a fan of 80s nostalgia, this series offers a grounded look at the passion for speed and engineering.
