Admittedly, I don't follow Initial D all that closely, but by the looks of it, the series is still focusing on cars from the late 80's and early 90's. And that makes me wonder -- isn't the author just targeting an increasingly shrinking audience base?

Even with the grand daddy of anime series -- MS Gundam -- new stuff keeps coming out, even if the idea of Gundams is re-hased over, and over, and over again. And even if they were to re-visit some of the older timelines, producers there still do variations and modifications meaningful enough to differentiate the new series from the old series. So in Initial D's case, wouldn't it make more sense if the current GT86 races against some of the current counterparts -- RX8, R35, NC Miata, FD2, S2k, Evo X, GE / GP Impreza etc.?

But yeah, I get what you mean. Maybe, Initial D may make that shrinking audience grow?

11-04-2012, 10:27 PM
^ @ traum
I disagree with you. the cars since Stage 4 has been heading closer to current times with relatively modern cars such as s2k, evos, mr-s etc. Its true that the protagonists are still using 86 and FD, but thats what makes it more original imo. Because current cars have so much electronic equipment to assist the driver. using older cars w/o all the abs and etc. which makes it exciting and taking car control to another level.

on another note, i dont really think the audience base shrunk that much, more so into introducing kids today about Touge racing origins. and also people who look for nostalgia.

nothing can replace the tofu86 lol its freaking legend, unless the author makes takumi total it or it just dies

EmperorIS
11-04-2012, 10:28 PM
I don't think in Initial D's timeline ... the GT86 is even out yet

and the whole anime is based on the philosophy that you don't need a new fast car to win, just heart and talent.

You're right, the timeline of Initial D starts from 1998 or so and has continued only into 2~3 years beyond that. It doesn't matter anyways, after 2002 Japan hasn't produced a whole lot of "pure" driving sports cars compared to before.

Well here is some food for thought.

In the initial (pun intended) volume of Initial D it says year is "199x"

and then Takumi grew from 18 to 19 in the more recent volumes.

So give them all the benefit of the doubt the year is now 2000.

Where did they find EVO 8, 9(?), 350Z and AP1 (with a 2004+ dashboard, lol) in year 2000? :suspicious:

For drift fans it's probably sad news that Initial D is really looking into less drifting and more "how to win races" from here on.

That's what seems to be happening in the manga for a while now.

To be honest they couldn't just keep the manga going on about drifting and still be fresh. It's a lot less entertaining for the anime, no doubt, but driving theory isn't necessarily bad.

I've never understood how 4WD/FWD cars could drift around corners in Initial D.

Because Initial D :alonehappy:
FWD, RWD, and AWD can all drift. The difference primarily lies in how the drift is induced, and what you need to do to keep that drift going.

Also, contrary to what Initial D may or may not be suggesting, everyone knows that drifting isn't the fastest way to get around a course, right?

Yes you are correct, sir. Grim Reaper was going to marry the girl (arranged I think), but she fell in love with Ryosuke. She was verbally abused by Grim Reaper after she fell in love with Ryosuke despite the arrangement, and rather than break off the marriage, offed herself and now Grim Reaper is blaming Ryosuke for her death.

As a whole, I'm actually a bit disappointed with Stage 5.
Somehow, the racing just doesn't seem to stir up my adrenalin as it did in the previous stages. I find the music isn't as good either.

I'm glad they added some more backstory to the characters instead of just mindless racing every episode,
but I'm not liking the way it's executed in ep 9 and 10.

Too much "stoppages" during the race to flash back to the backstory,
and it's killing the momentum of the race for me. Nice cliffhanger on ep 10 though.

just watched episodes 11 & 12, eagerly waiting for 13 & 14 next month!

the way they are ramping up these final battles, it makes it sound like the Initial D series is coming to an end?

It is. The final 86 vs. 86 battle in the manga is in the final stages, and it's pretty much suspense leaning towards Takumi's first loss (not counting the blown engine against the Evo III).

How the hell did they catch up to the manga already, I thought they were behind by years? Did they skip a lot of story between Stage 4 and 5?

WHAT spoiler? The manga is NOT over yet, it's been nearly 40 chapters of racing and dialogue. It LOOKS like Takumi is going to lose, I haven't spoiled shit.added spoiler tag -RabidRat

You want a spoiler? Fifth Stage is rumored to be only 14-16 episodes long.

I don't think the Initial D manga is a weekly serialized series. so, yeah 30min of action packed animation will burn through a lot of dialogue based printed material. they might release one or two chapters a month in Japan. someone correct me if I'm wrong.

not a weekly release in japan, if i remember i didnt see too many releases while i was in japan. therefore its a monthly release or hes just does it whenever he feels like it. each race takes easily 10+ chapters to complete. the manga focuses on everyone, the anime mostly on the ae86. also think that each chapter of the manga is roughly 15 pages of art. this is 18min of anime which would take a lot of pages to complete one episode.

I just finished the last episode of fifth stage.


Quite disappointed in this stage as a whole.
The races were bland, recycled animations, WAYYYYY too much dialogue, pacing was incredibly slow.
Timing of the eurobeats seemed a bit off at some places. They would play it when nothing dramatic was happening.
The last battle was ridiculously boring, because of the slow pacing.
And it turns out to just be nearly full of filler dialogue rambling about nonsense,
only to drag out a full episode to set up whatever is next, with that kid vs Takumi. wtf.

So lame.

Out of all the Deus Ex Machina they had to employ for Takumi's story arc, they choose Shinji to be the one.

It's basically a revival of First Stage with new CG and new voice actors. Takumi is now voiced by the same actor who was Setsuna in Gundam 00, and they've used rather popular VA's for the other characters as well.

I still think it's worth a watch for the nostalgic feels.

As a side note, I also noticed that they placed more emphasis on Natsuki Mogi's chest this time around. Japanese anime and their big animated chests...

Just watched it today. Although it's the same story with minor changes (that don't affect the plot in anyway), it felt refreshing to watch it again.

The updated animation style is much better than before.
