if you guys didn't know already

episodes 13 and 14 are out.

i really hope those arent the last eps.

The tokyopop ones?

Yea me too. I don’t care what all the "true" initial D fans say. I don’t think the tokyopop versions are all that bad and they are the only ones in english.

FOURTH STAGE episodes 13 and 14.

who cares about the tokyopop BS?

Does fourth stage mean like season four?

well

first and second stages were series but 3rd stage was just a movie.

so i guess its the fourth season.

hey drftk1d, what did you think of the episodes?

man i love how keisuke is such an asshole to that girl.

but i think the battle between keisuke and wataru didnt have a good ending.

i dont wanna spoil anything.

yea its funny how he totally ignores her. i agree with you on the ending of the battle...not a good ending. i was going to say more in my last response, but i don't wanna spoil anything for people who haven't seen it yet. but i did like takumi's experimentation with his driving :)

Which girl are you talking about? Iwase Kyoko or Akiyama Kazumi? Funny how those two comprise 40% of the lead female characters in the series.

I haven't seen the episodes yet, but what the hell would Keisuke have to do with Kazumi in the first place? Were we expecting something to happen... or what? I don't get it.

I'm braindead today.

Oh, and I care about the Tokyopop versions because they include the Japanese dialogue on a 5.0 track. Plus it's hilarious to listen to the stunted acting on the english track.

keisuke ignores kyoko (as always), and something happens between itsuke and kazumi in episode 14.

Yo Moprpheus... I mean drftk1d, I didnt know you where here too.
last episode I saw was the one right before he goes up against the Capichino.....or was it and Expresso....whatever.
which episode is that?

10 i think.

and its a suzuki cappuccino

well my bud gets the fansubs like three days after the straights come out. so that means I got 4 episodes to catch up on right.
kewlness!

There was too much god damn romance. 13 was pretty good. But 14 was just utter crap. Kinda funny how kazumi went back to that guy in front of Itsuki though. lol

man. we tried so hard not to spoil it and there you go telling the story.

I wasnt really spoiling anything.... but what ever floats your boat

Um, yeah, you did kind of spoil it. How is revealing the result of a relationship between characters not a spoiler? It was only a minor one, though. Don't sweat it. :lol:

When does the episode 15 fan sub come out? I just finished 13 and 14 and man are they awesome! I have been watching the tokyopop ones and I switched to the fan subs around episode 24/25 I think, and man tokyopop does ruin it a little but not as bad as people make out. I think ill still buy the tokyopop ones but from now on I’m also watching the fan subs. So when does 15 come out? Is there a standard waiting period between the time it comes out in Japan and the time the fan subs come out that im not aware of?

each 4th stage release is 2 months apart.
every 2 months we get 2 episodes at the same time.
so people watching it faithfully, (like myself) have been watching it since last year.

consider the 2 months wait and the time for the subbers to translate it (its usually about 2 weeks give or take some days).
