Initial D
Any Initial D fans here?
Initial D is a story about a young boy named "Takumi" and how he becomes a street racer. He leans his driving skills delivering Tofu from his dads shop doing runs up and down 'Mount Akina' from a very young age.
The episodes follow the adventures of "Tak" and his mates and the different challengers (other street racers) they meet.
I've seen a lot of the episodes downloaded from the net but in Australia we are only up to 'Battle 06' (act 16,17 and 18) on DVD.
Being a bit of a car nut, I love this series although the odd act does seem a little boring. I must say though, I really can't stand watching the US 5.1 dub. It has to be the original version with the subtitles on for me. I just don't like how they have changed elements of the story (characters names ect) to better lip sync. Also, I don't like how they have changed all the music. For me, it totally ruins the atmosphere the original music gives.
Anyway, any Anime and car fans out there who haven't seen it should really check this series out. Highly recommended but only in the original format.
