Plot
The series is an alien adventure invasion story, however instead of using brute force to overpower and conquer earth, the aliens use a subtler method of assimilation and integrating their own ways into human culture. The title refers to an intergalactic competition where a participant is selected from each continent to race against other aliens. The preferred methods of transportation are custom-made creatures that are genetically engineered, incorporating the attributes and DNA of animals past and present. The creators wanted to follow the human competitors and dive into the characters’ choices, and show how their previous life and experiences motivated their decisions. The series was inspired by a design book of visuals and the writers created a whole world and story based off of the illustrations.
