And hence why I'm confused... Did they go to Europe in the Manga/Anime? or are you saying that Europe has places that look like some of the tracks/ settings like in Initial D

i dunno why they are filming in europe. its just an article that is pretty recent that i found. it could be a variety of things. maybe there is a sponser there and its a contract agreement? maybe they filmed or made streets there that resemble the courses in japan 'cause they couldn't get clearence to use those actual places in japan. or maybe this movie doesn't follow the manga or the anime and its a different storyline. i really can't say.

as for the movie, you guys are asking too much. if you expect too much you will be unhappy either way. its best not expect it to be great, if it happens to be alright but if not no big deal.
