What I’ve learned from Initial D is, 1. Handling and balance is number 1, mastered these then you can start talk about increasing power. 2. Practice makes perfect, skills/knowledge will makes you a powerful person. 3. If you notice, Ryousuke is basically Sun Tzu in 4th stage. He never pick a fight he can’t win, Project D racers always an unknown, he studied everything about the location and his upcoming opponents, he prepared/planned well, he won races with minimum efforts. Ryousuke is a super genius in Initial D. Also, this anime shows us that nothing is perfect, even a superstar like Ryousuke makes few mistakes.

I love Takumi's character development. At first he didn't even want to race, he didn't find racing fun but overtime, it grew on him and it became more and more fun!

Most of, if not all the characters and their cars are based on real street racers from the 80's and early 90's. As are the races/situations.

Honestly, in its final form, with the group a engine, it was certainly one of the best cars, regardless of the character or story.

I actually liked Sudo while re-watching the anime. You know, he was really cool with Takumi, like, "You've lost, your 86 is just ol' clunker, but i won't accept my victory, come back with a better car". Then Takumi beats him with his 86, and he's just "You win, thank you for such competition, i changed my mind, i'm going to be better, blah-blah-blah". You know it's not about his destination as a character, it's about the way.

I'm so happy that people are still talking about this show

"doesn't matter what kind of car you have" Any car is a racecar if you've got the balls to race it

I found out about Initial-D because I saw a glimpse of a clip of it on an early Up to Speed episode, and immediately said "WHAT WAS THAT", and looked it up. It's an obsession of mine now, I listen to eurobeat almost every time I get in the car. The first two seasons and the "season 3" movie are the best, the rest of the show wasn't nearly as good although it definitely had it's moments. For example, AE86 VS EK9 in season 4 was the best race imho, it just has a magic to it. The length was right, it didn't stretch into 4 episodes full of boring monologue, and the absolute banger of a song Forever Young was allowed to play out fully...when those headlights pop up and you hear "FOREVEEEER" it gives me goosebumps, and it was a perfect fit for the race.

The 22B was my dream car. I was very sad to find out they never imported them, and if I wanted one with left hand drive the best I can hope for is finding the impreza 2.5RS coupe, and adding a turbo, proper suspension, correct rims, ext. Probably cost less to just import the damn 22b after all the time and effort that would take.
