I was referring to the trailer - looks like it airs in October.

the manga was definitely posted, but not news of the animated series, though i've been watching/waiting from the sidelines for the animated series, as i don't care for reading manga's...

MF Ghost series are okay… was reading for a while, but lost interest in the story & after he (Shigeno) went on first hiatus, I stop reading.

Expect to see twin gets MFG tax… just like AE86, FC & FD got Ini-D tax lol

Isnt MF ghost supposedly a bit more ridiculous than Intial D?

In initial D an old AE86 can beat the other cars because its put in a position of strength (lots of tight turns, driver knowledgeable of the intricacies of the course), and later on a engine swap with a race car derived 4A-GE (helps keep up with the more powerful competition), plus a sprinkle of vehicular superpowers.

MF ghost you have a FT86 beating things like Ferarris, the GT-R...and even more overpowered modern machines....making it more reliant on superpowers and more unrealistic?

I dunno, i just heard it isnt as good as the original Initial D

Not defending a manga/anime because of course those are always ridiculous, but it definitely depends on the road/course. If there's no room to use the power, power matters a lot less.

It's always down to the trunk monkey in manga.

Some of the initial d reasoning made more sense. Like typically the AE86 was better on the downhill since it was lighter and lower powered. So it wasn't depending on brakes as much as the heavier cars.

Anyway there's supposed to be one or two other new racing animes coming which may be more accurate if that's what you're after. One of them IIRC takes place in Super-Formula.

He does explain how it’s possible. One of their rule is tire restrictions. Simply put it, certain hp car allow certain size tires. Result, more hp = limited tire width causing less traction over time. It’s not simple 2~5 min track lap, but decently long town, highway & canyon race (kinda like original GT race). Of course there are several other rules (like points system) to make all cars even plus Shigeno used to track his AE86 & GC8, so he’s no beginner of racing & he's team is full of knowledge in racing (plus few of em used to be pro-drivers).

Now, racing is somewhat reasonable… love story is a different story. Like original Ini-D, Shigeno got no love story creativity lmao

Only in Japanese, but some interesting voices/quick frame if you're looking close:

Ironic part of VA for MFG is, in the New Initial D the Movie they’ve used different VA than original Ini-D TV series VA… but in MFG, they went back to the original VA from original Ini-D.
