Stage 4

Last I heard it was due out in Japan (on pay-per-view) on the 11th of this month (april). Anybody hear otherwise? And if it does come out then, I wonder how long before we get a copy with english subs, even if they are all, "How could a Akina 86 the car beated FD raced down again the mountain? The roaD!?!? But it's 350 horses power!" Like the subs in the battle stage movie lol, so funny to read. From what i've seen/read/watched/heard stage 4 cgi and animation are gonna be insanely good, i cant wait!

probably give it about a week or so after each episode to get a subbed version out.

Yeah, I'd link it up
but this place is anti "bootleg"

:(

It will take a year for them to air all of the episodes of the 4th stage according to the official thing...

yeh and theres only 12 episodes....BLAH heheh

but if its as good as we hope its gonna be, waiting aint so bad...

it starts on the 17th with 2 eps per month.

where'd you see that?

from the official site.

PM me your email for torrent file for episode 1&2.. I don't like the idea of piracy much, but since Stage 4 wouldn't be for sale in my area for probably anohter year or more, I'm downloading it for now...

They're non-subbed btw, so unless you really want to see, don't bother..

Get the manga, read it, then watch the unsubbed two episodes for the races, you'll already know what they're all talking about...

i know that you are supposed to wait until Tokyopop releases the professionally subtitled release in due time.

Don't try to make bootlegs available with AF as the meeting place. signed Layla's Keeper.

For the people who have seen ep. 1.
What do you think.
Personally I'm glad that some new characters are introduced.

1st eps continues right where 3rd stage vid leaves off, so i think in that light it's pretty awesome. I like it that new characters are introduced as well. Overall, it seems better then the other stages (partly b/c of the suspense in the race), but also the quality seems up'ed a bit. By the way, i love the into vid and song. MOVE kicks ass.

yea. move is awesome. I really liked episode 1. the graphics are way better quality and the music changed...but is still good. ^_^ gonna see the 2nd episode today....

just to recap:

Eps 1,2 17th of April 2004
Eps 3,4 19th of June 2004
Eps 5,6 21st of August 2004
Eps 7,8 16th of October 2004
Eps 9,10 18th of December 2004
Eps 11,12 19th of Feburary 2005
Eps 13,14 16th of April 2005

i googled for that;
anyone want to verify that for me?

Initial D 4th Stage ep. 1 & 2 is going to air on April 17th. Bad news is that it's going to take a long time to air all the episodes. (ep. 3 & 4 will be aired on June 19th; ep. 5 & 6 will be aired on August 21st ... etc.) There are total of 14 episodes in 4th Stage. Initial D 4th Stage is going to be viewed on a Pay-Per-View basis. Each episode is around 25 minutes in length.
