I love "Running in the 90's" and "Night of Fire" but I have never watched Initial D. Is all the music like that, is it worth watching if I am mostly in it for the music?

Initial D up till the arc before Project D is good. In short I recommend a watch stop at 4th stage don't go further.

>Is all the music like that

If you like your shit fucked up watch the Tokyopop release of the anime,

It's amazing :^)

Absolutely

The manga's much better.

but the manga doesn't have music.

You'll probably hate the art style when you start, but you'll get used to it. And then you'll fall in love with the series. You already know you love the soundtrack, now you get to experience it set to cars racing. And if you've ever driven with your initial d music playing, you know how fun that is.

I've only seen stage 1 but it's great. You should probably give it a try. Don't mind the crappy CGI though.

>You'll probably hate the art style when you start,
Just because of the age or is there something specific about it that is weird?
I watched anime in the 90's so I don't really mind some age.

The CGI looks very bad. Other than that nothing really.

If you don't notice it after the first episode then just ignore that comment from me. The way the characters are drawn was offsetting to me until I got used to them.

Alright the real people in the ED are making me uncomfortable.
sage for not my blog.

It's partially funded to plug the OPED band.
move's rapper used to look like Shingo.

Watch 1st Stage alone.

Transitions from 2D to 3DPD for EDs is always jarring to me too.

Everything up to and including the movie is good and all Eurobeat

I actually like the crappy, smooth box car animations
deleted everything but 1st Stage though
mango for the screens

This, precisely this.

I've heard that 5th stage ruined the series. Why is that?

I shouldn't even have to say it, but if you do watch it make sure to watch it in Japanese since the English dub changes the entire soundtrack removing all the good songs

I'd go so far as to say that second stage ruined it. The animation, music, and tension get worse every single part except for third stage, which is a movie. Third Stage is the only reason I would recommend Second Stage.

Not anymore it doesn't, there was a new dub that keeps the music some time back.

It was kind of boring. Every episode felt the same.
But, it still had some great moments, so it's definitely worth watching if you liked the rest, or just want to see how the series ends.

I remember that there is a MEGA link that contains the OST collection of Initial D. Where did it go?

is that fucking Ikuhara?

I just realised that initial d love songs are made for your car, not your woman
>Remember me

I thought the vroom vroom sound effects were put in the songs for that very reason

>can't tell asians apart
Das racist.

Is Takumi /ourguy/?

>Talented
>Popular
>Has friends and a girlfriend
>Girls like him
No

This, Iketani is /ourguy/
Alternatively, Mako Sato is /ourgirl/

Agreed.

Skip it and just play the arcade game. If you don't have the arcade game, there's a PS2 port. Or you can just emulate it.

It's all the good parts of Initial D with none of the bad ones.

I recommend you to shoot yourself in the mouth.

>Skipping Ryosuke vs Shinigami.
I agree that 5th stage isn't the best, but it should be watched solely for this race.
God foot vs Keisuke is also godtier.

*blocks your path*
