Broke, the two decide to compete in the Trans-America Wild Race to win the prize and return to Japan.

Where it came from
Appare-Ranman! was produced by P.A.Works and directed by Masakazu Hashimoto, debuting in 2020 as an original anime series. The story follows a brilliant but socially awkward engineer and a cowardly samurai who find themselves stranded in America during the late 19th century, eventually entering a cross-country trans-continental car race to win the prize money necessary to return home.
The series draws aesthetic inspiration from the steampunk genre and early American history, blending historical adventure with high-stakes racing action. Designed to showcase the character dynamics between the antisocial inventor Appare Sorano and the grounded Kosame Isshiki, the show was noted for its vibrant animation style and its ambitious premise, though its production schedule was significantly impacted by the global events of 2020, leading to a mid-season broadcast hiatus.
