Initial D...

It's come to my attention that Brad hasn't seen Initial D. Anyone want to correct this next weekend?

If you haven't seen it... it's Anime, and it's basically Dragon Ball Z with cars. It's a good time.

How about I give you CD-R and you burn it for me so I can pound out all the stages in a week or two.

Watching the first episode again now... I could see inviting everyone to an MS conference room for it >_> Free sodas FTW?

God, somehow I'd forgotten about the full force of the sound track... Non-stop Japanese Techno, lol.

Cool... It's Initial D's fault that I knew what an FC and FD were before knowing what a Rotary engine is

Also, /facepalm @ watching the English version. They changed all the names, most of the music, and removed anything that resembled accurate car talk. Tak = Takumi, Iggy = Itsuki...

Like Dragonball Z, eh. So basically when they found out how far the RX-7's can go up in RPM..... they started screaming:

"OVER 9000!!!!!!!"

I have all of the japanese versions as well as all the extra stages and the live action movie. All have english subtitles. Let me know and maybe we can meet up and watch them if you guys are down. The live action movie covers the first stage or so and is actually pretty good.

Also i know brad would like the Extra Sages because it focuses on a girl driving team and you get to see some nice anime ****

Oh yeah i also have Wangan Midnight (anime about tokyo street races), Freeway Speedway (Japanese films, about illegal highway racing in the Shuto Expressway), and all the Fast and Furious movies.

OBSESSED!!!!

I've seen all the Initial D. I downloaded them from a torrent site and have them burned to DVD. I recently got about 30 episodes of Wangan Midnite, but I haven't watched it yet.
