High school student Takumi Fujiwara works as a gas station attendant during the day and a delivery boy for his father's tofu shop during late nights. Little does he know that his precise driving skills and his father's modified Toyota Sprinter AE86 Trueno make him the best amateur road racer on Mt. Akina's highway. Because of this, racing groups from all over the Gunma prefecture issue challenges to Takumi to see if he really has what it takes to be a road legend. |

This anime was probably one of the best suggested anime I had the pleasure of watching I mean WOW! It seriously gives you a rush when you watch it of course you need to have a some what mild interest in cars but even without it you may really come to enjoy the story in this anime. I can not count the amount of times I held my breath watching the races in the anime. Anyway suggest you give it a try because you will really enjoy it. {still uploading the rest of the series just had to:-P}

Initial D is a 1990s 26-episode anime series that contains not only racing but drama and action. While most anime fans, or people in general, are not that interested in cars, Initial D will still keep viewers interested thanks to its relatable main character, unique soundtrack, drama, character design, etc.
One of the key factors of this anime is the main character: Takumi Fujiwara. Like the casual viewer, he is not very interested in cars or races; sometimes even wondering why some are so into it. This makes it more easier for the viewer to ( read more)

One of the key factors of this anime is the main character: Takumi Fujiwara. Like the casual viewer, he is not very interested in cars or races; sometimes even wondering why some are so into it. This makes it more easier for the viewer to share the same feelings with Takumi as the series progresses (especially if the same viewer starts getting somewhat interested in cars themselves (although this is no guarantee and is mainly based upon one's interest)). Another point is how the anime does a great job building up other characters, besides Takumi.
The only nitpick I have with this series is its use for CGI animation. However seeing as how it was quite new at the time and that drawing realistic cars is a time-consuming task for the animators, I will be light on the serie's use of CGI.
Overall, check this anime out. I would recommend getting/watching the Funimation version for a perfect, unedited experience. ( show less)

I started watching Initial D because, just like many other people, I started getting bored over unrealistic fighting, wars etc since they can get slightly boring. I wanted to watch Anime that's a bit more realistic for a change and I'm glad I met with this series! It's made me become into cars madly, and giving me fantasies of drifting when I get my own car :D

I remember watching Initial D a couple years back, and at the time I really loved it. It was quick paced enough to keep me interested, the animation was pretty decent, and the storyline was pretty good. I never did finish it though, I lost interest in the last season for some reason. If you enjoy cars and have ever tried to drift your car this series is awesome. If you don't like cars then don't bother the story may be good, but not enough to keep you watching the entire thing.

This is one of the best anime I have seen so far regarding Drifting and driving techniques . If completely defines what car and a driver skills are meant in reality. This anime is all about underpowered yet pioneer cars battling among each other and trying to dominate either by skill of car advantages as well . I Recemmend this anime to all those Drift fans and car fans out there especially the people who like Japanese cars for instance . 5/5 from me :)

Great series, but ive encountered some C++ runtime library errors. so far episodes 3, 6 and 9 arent working for me, not sure if its just my comp, vlc, or if the download file is corrupt. trying to figure out a solution right now.
