Personally this is one of the most exciting anime i have seen~
I like it very much ~ Takumi and his 86 :c16:
The eurobeat really help a lot to enhance the battle scenes ~However its not
so good in the 4th series in terms of Eurobeat that is~
My fav is still the first stage and 2nd stage

[maikosaiko]

i was blown away by upgrade he got...(is this spoiler ? )
anyway, best racing anime since "speed racer"
i think live action film was done pretty well and hoping for
the sequel.

Dont worry i think we are all "seasoned" fans here :c40:

[ahaw]

agree2!!! :c40:

[Ayu]

I have to agree, Initial D is of the best series i've seen. Even if you don't have any interest in cars like i do I also think that the 1st and 2nd season was the best. The LA movie is really good too imo

[chihuahua24]

Yeah Intital D is nice~ Of all races the race i like the most is with the 2 female racer and second is the race against his father's arch enemy son in third stage.Bt God leg match is good too!

[ahaw]

so which do ya prefer?

comicko o anime?

:unsure

[chihuahua24]

The anime show the racing real good but the manga show more in depth how they felt during the racing.. both have its own goodness

[maikosaiko]

i never finished the graphic novel, but good comic like this, i can't really say which is better.
animation has its good sides... fluid motions when in racing, good transitions, characters more life like (of course), and on the other hand, the graphic novel handles each scene dramatically. good empahsizations of drifting. excellent dramatization of the racing scene. i think you get different feels watching anime and reading comics for this sort. another example would be Slamdunk. comic captures each moment carefully and draws you into that particular 'moment'. so IMO, there's no winner between anime & comic.

I watch the anime & read the manga. Initial D is freakin Awsome! I like the manga better just cuz. Or maybe its cuz i can read on the can? :huh

[cool_kickin_dude]

i just went to blockbuster, and they have the live-action movie. I'm gonna try and watch it this weekend.

[(AZN)animedude]

lol enjoy i guess the live action's ok, but i liked the anime a whole lot better (live actions i guess kinda disappoint me cuz i see the aniem first and the live action confuses me )

[momusufan]

what got me into initial D was the arcade game, it's freakin awesome! my car is a nissan skyline GTR.

I've mastered a few courses already, it's so addicting! I can never stop playing it!

[(AZN)animedude]

lol yeah alot of animes have pretty good games too or were based on games
like .hack// best games and anime ever >o< (of course, roxy's gonna agree), people may flame me but i liked some of the DBZ games out there, and also the initial D game, i think that was pretty enjoyable

[cool_kickin_dude]

too bad we don't have a game out here in the states, except for the PC

it comes out at the end of february.

[ThousandSG]

lol
i thought in the states there is the game for the arcade
intital D 3 ....
its really good....now i noe the skills lol~ but seriously the famous (akami?) mountain is really annoying ~"~

too much twist and turns for the arcade version lol (the one u pay for each game)

plus - Ae86 sux-.- once u drift/turn it sort of.....force crash-.-

[AaronD12]

I got to see the Initial D movie on a recent flight to Hong Kong. What a bad-ass movie! I haven't seen any of the animé, but I think I'm gonna have to start after seeing the movie! :w00t!:
