Initial D

At first the thought of it didn't appeal to me, but my friend started telling me about it and I got kind of interested. I'm too cheap/poor to go out and buy the DVDs on my own (especially if it turns out that I don't like them), so I'm making him burn them for me.

Anyone got any reviews or anything to say about Initial D? I'd like to know more about it before I start watching it.

Re: Initial D

Initial D is very good. The drifting CG is very nicely done, and every race there's a new song. Some race even have two songs. Definitely a good racing anime.

Re: Initial D

the 1st stage has 26 eps, 2nd has 13, and then theres the movie (3rd stage), special stage, battle stage, and now 4th stage is airing which is going to be 14 eps.

Oh and by the way, this is my favorite anime by far and I recommend this to anyone who likes racing.

Re: Initial D

Initial D is more than just racing, it also has a decent story line... but the racing does kick ass!

Re: Initial D

you mean american dub with tricked out visuals right? yea it is shit. Tokyo Pop was on crack when they decided to do that stupid shit. Thank fuck they put the original dub on with original video
though it should've been that way in the first place. Don't get me started on the names either.

Re: Initial D

It's a lot different from the Manga; I'm just glad we can even get it at all!! I go to the bookstore and read the Manga for free since it's untouched and original, then I watch the videoand compare the two. I'll eventually sell the whole DVD set once I watch them all and get a burner to make copies.

Seems like a damn good series. The manga deserves kudos as well.

lol NSX yeah, I just dont understand it the demographic for anime is really 17 and up why in the hell do they feel the need to "dumb" it down for americans? Like what Funimation did to dragonball-Z they litterally murderd that anime to the point they even changed the story line. I seriously cant stand all of these dubs. Lol and whos the people that actually makes these? Its like they feel since its animated its a cartoon, ah well I say Pokemon screwed alot of animes lol. If it wasnt for that damn yellow Rat some Dubd animes would actually be ok. Only ok dub Ive seen is Kenshin even though it still sorta sucks compared to the subd you gotta admit its not that horribly bad.
