I just binge watched up to middle of 4th Stage. Now I remember why I wanted an Evo.

I used to think Kyoichi and Ryosuke were so cool ... 15 years ago.

My cousin actually installed something similar in his Evo exhaust to produce flames out the exhaust... but no actual performance benefit.

I wonder if anyone ever tried to do gutter runs in real life...

I actually just finished binge watching it like a week ago, great stuff. Like most people, I only ever knew about the music from it but I got a chance to play Initial D Arcade Stage a while ago and it was pretty fun and hype so I started watching it because of it to see what it's like and who all these characters I was racing were (and possibly find out why everyone is so angry all the time lol)

I only know about this show because I played the arcade game at the Pochanoes like, 15 years ago >_>

I remember the songs space boy, and there was one more that I cannot find for the life of me. All I remember is that the lyrics were saying something about love, danger, and dying...or something

GREAT show but...

I didn't like that the RX7 boys became good guys. Such an Anime trope.

I never thought there were many good/bad guys in this show.

First season was my favorite, loved seeing people's reactions when they discovered it was this quiet Tofu delivery boy in this old ass car that was killing them on the streets.

Yea, once they became Project D and were a team of all stars created specifically to beat everyone it lost that overachieving underdog tone.

Agreed - the very start when Iketani realises Takumi is the one always brings a smile to my face (love underdogs). Second season was mixed but still enjoyable as they improved the CG... but felt less race focused.

The other highlights to me are whenever someone ridicules Iketani's 85 and then Takumi ownz.

Second Stage is nice because it shows there's always someone better and Takumi isn't invincible, but then he gets a professional race car engine and every race has him win in increasingly ridiculous manners. The S2000 in Fourth Stage is one of the worst examples of this.

It was pretty obvious the RX7 brothers came in as antagonists.

There were a lot of antagonists. But everyone was just being competitive and not truly bad guys, except...that one dude that tried to win by making Takumi crash

There's also some weird things, like when the Red Suns and the Emperor Evo squad try to take over every prefecture they're the bad guys, but Project D is literally just Red Suns plus Takumi doing the same exact thing and suddenly they're the good guys.

Huh... amazing I'm the only one who felt most of the opposition were mostly cocky douchebags who needed a good whooping my Takumi.

Even so, at the end Takumi joined with the RX7 brothers which was a bad thing IMO.

I mean...that's how you gotta present it, especially in anime. It wouldnt be exciting if he raced competitive goody goodies all the time

Initial D is great. After watching it I hit a guard rail in my Toyota Tercel trying to kick the tail end out. I told everybody a deer jumped out.

I tried to get into it but just couldn't. Definitely seems like a good show though.

I think most of the opposition were overconfident because by virtue of challenging the best in each area, they probably would be used to winning on home turf against an outsider.

That being said I agree with only Shingo being a really bad guy. A lot of jerks but no others who are bad as in evil...

Haha I picked up on that as well. When red suns lose suddenly they need a new team and new mission statement.

It is a great show, and the only bad guy is the one that tried to get Takumi to crash and get killed.
