It's come to my attention that Brad hasn't seen Initial D. Anyone want to correct this next weekend?

If you haven't seen it... it's Anime, and it's basically Dragon Ball Z with cars. It's a good time.

 

How about I give you CD-R and you burn it for me so I can pound out all the stages in a week or two.

 

Ive played the arcade stage! I got the se3p at 1.5 million points. That game is fun!

 

I'll see what I can do, it's pretty big all together though, 17.5GB

 

Watching the first episode again now... I could see inviting everyone to an MS conference room for it >_> Free sodas FTW?

God, somehow I'd forgotten about the full force of the sound track... Non-stop Japanese Techno, lol.

 

I ended up finding them on YouTube and watched Stage 1 Ep 1-5 before I passed out.

 

You guys should watch the live action version as well

 

Saw the thread title and had to stop in. You should be able to stream every Episode,stage,ova,and movie here Animecrazy.net and perhaps on this new site I found Crunchyroll.com. and of course as so many ppl have taught me here SEARCH BUTTON=FRIEND enjoy ppls enjoy

 

Cool... It's Initial D's fault that I knew what an FC and FD were before knowing what a Rotary engine is

God that was aweful... all Korean and HK pop stars The cars and driving were sweet though

 

i know same here

i have the first 2 seasons sound tracks on my ipod. you can hear the turbos in the songs if you listen hard enough but 28 songs of non stop techno omg lol

 

So im on Episode 22 and Iggy seriously reminds me of like 2 people I know. /facepalm.

 

I love how the FC and FD spit flames in Initial D.

 

initial d ftw!!!!! i wait on my local touge at night for drifters to come around just like ryosuke (white fc owner) lol

 

^lol you gunna chain drift? Don't forget your cup of water! Haha

 

Also, /facepalm @ watching the English version. They changed all the names, most of the music, and removed anything that resembled accurate car talk. Tak = Takumi, Iggy = Itsuki...

 

Like Dragonball Z, eh. So basically when they found out how far the RX-7's can go up in RPM..... they started screaming:

"OVER 9000!!!!!!!"

I have all of the japanese versions as well as all the extra stages and the live action movie. All have english subtitles. Let me know and maybe we can meet up and watch them if you guys are down. The live action movie covers the first stage or so and is actually pretty good.

Also i know brad would like the Extra Sages because it focuses on a girl driving team and you get to see some nice anime ****

Oh yeah i also have Wangan Midnight (anime about tokyo street races), Freeway Speedway (Japanese films, about illegal highway racing in the Shuto Expressway), and all the Fast and Furious movies.

OBSESSED!!!!

 

QQ More plz. Last thing I want to do is read subtitles while I lay in bed watching/trying to fall asleep.

 

dude the rx8 is the cheater car in the arcade game, it has like perfect handling its not fair lol :D

 

I've seen all the Initial D. I downloaded them from a torrent site and have them burned to DVD. I recently got about 30 episodes of Wangan Midnite, but I haven't watched it yet.

 

i will have to start watching this thing anime **** lol
