One anime that I dicovered is called Initial D it been out for about 2 years I believe. It's about street racing in Japan which contains Drifting :animestun . It fun to drift. Back to the point I wonder what is your opion about Initial D. Also the shot out side the gas station where Tak, Iggy, and Cole work has a MX-5 driving by :animesmil .

I doubt they'll [b]allow[/b] you to download it. I don't know much officially, but I heard the following from my friends.

It's a Chinese movie with famous actors in the lead roles. I forgot their names but I'm sure lots of people at the boards know them.

The movie is being filmed in Japan on the mountains that inspired the anime and manga.

Toyota is building Trueno Hachi Rokus just for the production of the movie.

Should be a fun movie, looking forward to it. ^^

[size=1] [color=crimson]I've seen most of 1st Stage and all of Second Stage series' of Initiald D, and it has become my favorutie anime.

The graphics dont' even bother me, to be honest, I thought they are excellent. The fusion of 2D and 3D was done fluently enough not to worry me at all.

The plot of Initial D is quite good, it twists and turns in some areas and in others, it languishes in episodes where all they do is sit around/drive around and talk about the big race, which ends up being 3 episodes away, those episodes still fit a purpose though. The add another little dimension into what would otherwise be a very flat anim'e series by bringign in more of the human element. Pity that soemtimes it gets a little annoying.

But the only things that bug me about Initial D are that Tak never loses and Iggy is annnoying. -_-;

I mean, [spoiler] Tak should have lost when he blew the engine, period. the time was fitting and it suited the story to have Tak finally lose a race, and then, have the center on him coming to grips with the fact that he's not invincible, and while they did do that to a degree, it would have been more fitting if Kyle, the racer of the Lan EVO, had simply taken the win. pssh.[/spoiler]


And Iggy will always be loudmouthed and annoying, he's so cringe-worthy.

Aftet that, the series took it up a notch, bringins us the new '86, [spoiler] same car, replete with a beast of a new engine and a massive power boost...after a while. The transition form the '86 we knew to the new era was my favourite point in the Initial D series. It was a season of change and upheaval, It was like an Initial D sweeps week. :p[/spoiler]

I have enjoyed the series immensly, and look forward to getting 3rd and fourth stage series' here. I just hope Tak loses eventually so that it can seem less predictable, and more human. Otherwise Iggy got it right when he though Tak might be some kind of Alien. [/size][/color]
