Let’s go for a drive to the night pass with the excitement from enjoying anime!

>>1

You drifted, didn’t you?

>>2

I’m only driving on the grip, so it’s okay!

It’s already past the statute of limitations, so it’s okay, it’s okay.

If anything, the final boss has been driving since elementary school.

>>5

The memento of my late husband, the 86, instead of the tired me at work.

My son, who was in elementary school at the time, was driving while I was sleeping next to him.

It would be great if you had been doing kart racing or at the racetrack since your childhood…

>>8

I thought they were putting a lot of effort into creating impact with close-ups and screen shaking.

>>8

While using CG in the racing scene

I like that everything else is done by hand.

I want to form an expedition team with Bunta, Kobayashi, Jojima, Hoshino, and the president of Tōdō Academy!

>>9

Bunta seemed to have gone to various mountain passes in his younger days, so he might have a chance of having met him.

I wonder if they could write a side story about that time.

>>14

It seems like they used to be a rally driver, maybe they drove a TE27 or something…

The anime featuring a female protagonist who is actively engaged in what we now call “papa-katsu” is amazing.

>>11

I was surprised to hear that it was made milder than the original…

I might like the direction around seasons 3 and 4 the most.

I like the way of using the exhaust to create excitement.

I think the first season is the most interesting anime work.

>>16

I like the first one the most when it comes to character illustrations.

Next, I like the 3rd one.

>>16

I think the Levin battle encapsulates all the philosophy of Initial D.

>>34

The fastest guy at the pass is the coolest.

You’re looking great!

Mr. Wataru is poor, but I’m glad I could become a pro racer.

The Project D chapter is interesting, but everywhere I go, I keep hearing, “It looks like Project D is coming to an end…” which is no good.

>>17

There are too many lines in this battle of my older brother that seem to be the biggest wall for Fujiwara…

It doesn’t really matter, but thirty years ago it was common to race in the mountains.

Thinking about it now, it’s kind of crazy…

The first season has a very distinct art style that feels just like a late-night anime.

From there, it gradually became closer to the original work, and then suddenly in 5, the art style got really intense!?

Isn’t Keisuke’s face looking too unattractive since Season 5?

I love the Heisei retro vibe from the 1st to 3rd.

I’m watching someone smoke at the gas station and it’s so dangerous! It’s giving me chills.

I was amazed at how much MFG has really evolved.

I was surprised by how intense the enthusiasm for the second season was, to the point that it overshadowed the first season.

The titles of each episode in Season 1 are charmingly uncool, aren’t they?

“Here comes Dangerous Shingo!”

>>29

Are you trying to say that the next episode preview skit is super trendy?

>>33

After the 4th, the broadcasting format changed, and the previews themselves disappeared, which made me feel lonely.

In terms of scenes, the blind attack was the most intense.

Considering the Sudou battle, I also like the last part of the goal with the engine blowout.

It’s nice that in the end, everyone from Gunma became a fan of Akina’s Hachiroku.

Honestly, I remember the euro more from after the second season.

>>35

The reckless Takumi’s Speedy Speed Boy is really good, isn’t it…

>>35

100 Cool and Awesome

Considering his age, it’s amazing how much Ituki has improved, isn’t it?

>>37

He’s a bit of a jokester, but he doesn’t have any strange pride, so he quickly mastered the power slide as Kazumi-chan’s coach, and he certainly had room for improvement.

Until around Season 3, only a few songs would play during one race.

I feel like the more I try to play it at the right moment, the more the impression of the song has weakened.

>>41

I really love the part in the Castle Island match where Chemical LOVE plays as ElDorado comes out.

There must definitely be an Initial D fan in the promotion departments of Toyota and Red Bull.

>>49

Last year at Rally Japan, there was a foreigner who won by coloring a foreign car in the style of Akina’s Hachiroku…

>>42

At the moment when Toyota’s experimental EV is completely like Fujiwara Tofu Shop.

As expected of the third season being a movie version, the evolution of the animation is amazing right from the start, and the fourth season will continue with that same style of animation, which is impressive.

I wonder what percentage of the popularity of Initial D is due to the anime effect.

Why is the person who provided music for anime composing the BGM for Ryosuke Takahashi’s stage in Train D…?

Before we knew it, the overseas popularity has become amazing.

Takumi’s AE86 and Keisuke’s FD are amazing because their movie versions actually exist.

In racing games with a Toyota license, there is usually a Panda Trueno, right?

>>59

And the Panda Trueno with a carbon hood under the pretext of Shigeno’s specifications.

I love the cheesy banter that feels like a radio show in the next episode preview.

>>60

Psssh!

I understand that blind attacks are amazing, but… isn’t this a bit unfair…?

>>61

Public road battles have no rules, right?

>>63

Ryousuke Takahashi’s response

>>61

If you can do it, anyone is free to imitate it.

>>61

I feel like I might end up having too much fun, so I don’t really want to do it.

The fact that the actual car looks cool driving on public roads makes it quite a unique anime work.

Since a long time ago, popular cars have been created from movies where they were featured running.

Running through a mountain pass in the middle of the night without any lights is way scarier.

And the top tier of Project D still can’t win even after performing all those acrobatics, so it mostly ends up being a win by happenstance.

I wonder what Hiromi Go thinks.

Many regions could not view the first season of the anime.

I was sending the VHS tapes I dubbed every week by Yu-Pack.

It’s amazing that street racing manga has become an undeniable presence in Toyota’s sports car strategy.

What is the actual situation regarding tire heat fade in the original work?

>>72

When a tire goes around a corner, it bends and uses its restoring force to turn.

When it gets hot from sliding too much, it becomes soft and loses its resilience, making it difficult to bend.

>>72

The tire tread is worn out.

When I think about it rationally, what I’m doing is an illegal act.

It’s impressive that they were able to bring the actual car into the anime like that…

>>73

Some parts couldn’t use the car names and had to use them with the names concealed.

Other than that, I’m surprised I got permission.

I understand that Takumi’s tactics and ways of winning in the Pro D arc are generally too reckless and questionable.

Since Keisuke has been winning in a solid motorsport manner around that area, it makes me feel even more that way.

I wonder if Ex-Driver will become popular…

“The electric car is crap,” says Shigeno.

Morizou in agreement.

It’s amazing how this song is completely unrelated to the anime.

In reality, elite racers aspiring to be professionals generally start out with go-karts or similar activities from childhood.

>>78

Is it Kanata?

>>107

If anything, if it’s players who have come up from Becken or Kart, then there is definitely Koba.

(These guys are working hard during the day, dodging the police while showing off in the backwoods of Gunma…)

When I think about it, everyone becomes heartwarming.

>>79

Look at Ryotakahashi.

It’s a devil living off of their parents’ support.

>>86

Parents who are trying to pass on their legacy tend to spoil their children.

>>79

To be honest, there were parts I liked about that atmosphere until the third season.

>>79

The people involved in Project D are really successful…

Japan is in a serious situation due to the ethics of public road racing, so what is the author’s sense of ethics like?

>>54

Initial D Hell…

Ryousuke Takahashi’s theme song “Sands of Time” is a masterpiece.

It’s too interesting that Nobuteru Taniguchi was a tofu shop owner riding an ’86 at the time the original series was serialized.

It’s not Gunma, but Hiroshima.

The author’s perspective in the work was better than the ethics of real street racers, so they were being considerate even back then.

Both Initial D and Wangan Midnight are drawn by people from that era…

The man who appears in this play is 99% a criminal.

>>94

Dating a high school girl is also a no-go…

It’s terrifying to realize that something is behind you even though it became invisible in a straight line!

>>95

On the contrary, I can illuminate it again before the blind corner and make it reflect in the curved mirror, causing oncoming cars to be mistaken for it.

>>103

They probably didn’t intend it, but isn’t this quite unfair!?

The Impreza that the protagonist was riding in wasn’t popular, was it?

>>97

You haven’t been riding that much, right?

>>97

Imps are extremely popular regardless of their works…

In the first place, the cars that are really skyrocketing in popularity in this work are mostly already high in popularity, like the AE86.

Keiichi Tsuchiya casually talks about past street racing episodes on his streaming program in Reiwa…

It’s about cars, but it has the vibe of a hobby manga, doesn’t it?

>>102

When I start a race game that’s more like a simulator, I realize that what they said in Initial D was true… but there are parts that are unrealistic… and those aspects stand out, making it interesting.

>>102

The focus is on driving techniques and doesn’t delve deeply into the mechanical aspects, which gives it a hobbyist feel.

I’ve seen multiple cars drifting side by side for fun, but I wonder if the intense battles and time trials like those in the movies actually existed.

>>104

Before they became professionals, Keiichi Tsuchiya and Nobutaka Taniguchi were like that, right?

>>113

Dorikin is close, but Taniguchi isn’t like that in terms of time attack.

Both of them started what is known as a mountain pass battle after turning professional.

It’s okay to imitate crossing the ditch too.

Ah, I made a mistake in the weight transfer.

>>105

How is the local wild racing?

>>123

A car was sealed off because it was involved in an accident.

>>88

Shinichiro Miki: “I absolutely won’t allow anyone other than me, who read the first episode of Initial D in real-time while following Shige-sensei from Bari-Den, to voice Takumi. When the talk of the anime adaptation came, I thought to myself, if I can’t get the role of Takumi with this, then what have I been doing as a voice actor? That’s why I auditioned.”

I think the idea of winning against an old-fashioned, fully functional new model might actually come from the concept of robot works themselves rather than from the robot works.

I like that the ramen shop is a saintly figure compared to my first impression.

>>111

The reason why every member of the Lancer Evolution gang is a troublemaker is because of those lower-level characters from the bad OVA.

>>114

I wonder if it’s an image projection of the guy driving the Lancer Evolution in Shigeno-sensei’s mind…

>>139

According to Tsuchiya, the first car that the teacher bought with the money earned from the street racing was a Hachiroku.

It might be that the image projection in the teacher’s mind is that the Hachiroku keeps winning.

>>111

This is a seminar!

>>119

It’s kind of you to disregard it even though it’s clearly a landslide victory.

Maybe it was Kyouichi who called Bunta by telephone to the Fujiwara Tofu Shop…

I read MHG because I was watching anime.

It’s a bit tough with the uncle-style writing, sexual harassment, and unhealthy nostalgia flying around.

Driving without lights at night is really invisible, so it must be really scary to be in a position where you’re being pursued.

I thought Shinji-kun would appear in MFG, but there was no sign of him at all.

>>118

That kid is not the type to refine their skills like Takumi; they’re more of a speedrunner type who looks for the shortest route on the local course, so I don’t think they’ve improved much.

Mikisin supposedly brings along the Initial D voice actors when going to buy a car and negotiates by saying, “I’m Fujiwara Takumi, so can’t we get a discount?”

>>120

If that happens, I’ll lower the price as much as possible within the limits of my authority…

>>120

I want to sell cars to customers who came through Takumi Fujiwara’s introduction.

Professional racers have been riding on the racetrack for 10 years, but there are plenty of teens without a license…

The senior Iketani who moved Bunta’s heart is quietly amazing, isn’t he?

>>122

Since Takumi was being difficult, I was considering running myself…

Do even anonymous users have a home course?

I heard that Keiichi Tsuchiya was attacking the Usui Pass while delivering for the family business.

>>125

I was talking about how the real place for “mizootoshi” is in Usui.

Are you going to do that…?

>>138

I wish they would organize a private tour to attack Usui Pass while Keiichi Tsuchiya is still energetic.

>>138

Indeed, it’s so ridiculously narrow that if you can’t do that, it won’t turn into a battle at all… the old Usui Pass.

At first glance, almost everyone looks like a thug…

>>126

Even the early brother was quite the troublemaker.

>>132

Trash!!!!!!!!!!

>>115

Due to the influence of Bali, I was riding a motorcycle, so I’m a fan of unusual things, Mikishin.

It’s even funnier when I remember doing it in my parent’s car, breaking the rules.

>>130

Since I destroyed the car once, the screws got blown off in a bad direction.

>>130

Parent: “Do it.”

Child: “Yes…”

So…

In reality, if you want to be a serious professional driver, you have to come up from karting.

I think one of the reasons for the popularity was that Takumi was initially ignorant about mechanics.

Because I can focus on the battle without thinking about difficult things.

Iketani-senpai has become a middle-aged person who seems to feel various sorrows…

Well, I don’t really understand how the other two can have a normal family life, but…

In the manga, they explain the car’s specifications, but in the anime, they skip over that part.

Since I’m watching Initial D from MF Ghost, I’m realizing that this teacher was really amazing… and the person who was giving explanations at the end was actually quite intuitive!?

I feel like the treatment of Silvia isn’t very good.

I have a lot of appearances, but I don’t really get involved in the main battles.

>>146

I never thought Okuyama would be the most successful.

It’s an afterthought, so it can’t be helped, but when you think about the Professional D arc, the way the older brother loses in the first season is just too lame; there’s no way he would lose like that.

>>148

Because Fujiwara was weak under pressure…

Due to the influence of Initial D, there are a lot of voice actors whose brains have been burned by cars… Koyasu got in the driver’s seat of an FC and shuddered, saying, “Is my voice coming from a car like this?” and Yuichi Nakamura also came to know what a good car is and started driving expensive cars.

It feels like there’s such a gap that even considering the performance of my older brother and the fact that the 86 is before the engine blowout, there’s no way we’re going to lose…

Buying my own car is quite a struggle for a MFG voice actor…

>>157

I want Yuu Serizawa to drive the Alfa Romeo 4C.

Mikishin still has his own Hachiroku, doesn’t he?

Sealing even further inside the invader!

I mean, don’t imitate that!

>>159

A sight seen in a dirt rally.

Well, it has a high probability of rolling over…

The BGM that plays in good scenes is so pleasant that it’s scary.

Then suddenly return to reality in the live-action ED.

>>161

Move has also established an image associated with Initial D.

In the sequel MFG, rap is also involved…

Regarding MF Ghost, if drones and batteries have evolved that much…

I thought it would be more exciting to race with a friend’s drone.

There are many things that may be correct as rally techniques, but they are impossible on public roads! That’s something I’ve heard often.

>>166

Sometimes they bring out courses on public roads in the WRC, so it’s tough for real professionals…

I think the flow leading up to Takumi’s first battle is perfect.

Even though it’s a long wait until the battle, I don’t mind it.

>>168

In the beginning, it was enjoyable to strategize how to drag Takumi into the battlefield.

A manager who is overly provocative.

>>175

(This guy looks just like Bunta.)

>>168

Even if it’s not a full-fledged battle, there are still many scenes of cars driving up to that point.

Watching Rally Japan makes me realize that reality is the craziest… that’s nice.

>>169

It’s insane, but the surreal look of a rally car zooming through the city is really cool, isn’t it?

>>169

It’s really crazy to speed through the roads often seen in the Japanese countryside at that speed…

>>184

Please bring back the highway battle…

>>184

Suicide… it was being commented on and I couldn’t handle it.

I’m bad at turning right…!

If it’s an MFG group, isn’t the relatively inexpensive option other than Kanata’s 86 Honda Uncle’s Civic?

>>171

I think it’s quite difficult to get a Civic right now.

New plays aren’t bad, but the exclusion of outdated Eurobeat is just something else…

When I ride in a car from that time, I think the rigidity of modern cars is amazing!

It’s great how the tree’s Eight-Gou gets insulted and then starts running, beginning to complain about Eight-Gou…

Even if you’re just running normally, it’s a bit scary because the road keeps bumping up and down, so it’s reassuring.

>>181

The mountain roads in snowy regions have so many holes in the asphalt that they are genuinely scary!

Itsuki took on the challenge on their own.

I knew you wouldn’t come… right at that moment.

I love how Takumi, who appears and says, “Why are you sleeping in a place like that?” is so much like a hero.

>>183

“A street racer has to accept a challenge when it comes in a car.”

I like you.

In reality, if you use it like this recklessly, won’t it break down in just one race?

Doesn’t Takumi like Itsuki too much?

Rally is making the audience go crazy too.
