Did a search and didn't find this posted - anyone see this yet?

I don't believe it's started airing as far as I know.

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...

sorry only MF i will ever acknowledge is MF DOOM

MF Snakes On A Plane

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.

Heh, yeah. I don't mind it much though! After all the art style changes in the anime, stuff like that is whatever to me. Doesn't affect the story or action itself.

I just wish Bunta's actor were still alive and could play a role :(

I'm sure I'll watch this show out of sheer obligation, but I'd rather have a good, completely new car story instead of an adaptation of a manga nobody seems to like very much.


MF Ghost hits the same beats as Initial D with the whole under-powered car beating out superior cars, but I found that--as much as I love Initial D--the concept did get stale after awhile, and the interesting parts became the subplots, like the Ryosuke one in Fifth Stage. Even aside from a tired concept, the premise of Initial D seems more compelling than MF Ghost. The illegal street racing seems more interesting than sanctioned rally events.

^^this^^ I loved the characters in the original story. The premise of a Corolla kicking everyone's ass got a bit old. I'll still follow this one because...

VA?

VA = Voice Actor/Actress

First episode out! Decent intro to the new story.

Of course the episode ends right when the first race begins.

Can't binge like I did with initial d.

Lots of fan service right from the get-go too. Won't say any so people can notice it themselves :P

Here I am, only having watched up to Stage 3. Plus the 3 movies which are basically an abridged version of Stage 1 and 2.


Anyways, anyone know where and how I can get all Stages in DVD?

I've gotten a couple dvds before but usually they only have like four episodes or something dumb like that. Not sure why.

YesAsia sell 2 Blu-ray Discs… bu it’s only in Japanese. Other than eBay knockoff set, don’t think Crunchyroll have made a complete box set, other than sell em each stage set.

i plan to!

i'm just going to hold out watching it until all of it is released.

but i gotta watch it with the original japanese voice actors, just with english subtitles...

Really enjoyed the first episode. Lots of ID vibes!

Driving fast is more fun when it's unsanctioned don't @ me :burnrubber:

They should had done a prequel. Ryosuke at peak while being "the white comet" and Bunta driving reckless.

I dunno, I think it's pretty clear Bunta's story is almost the same as Takumi's. Would've been repetitive.

They race against similar cars/people, even relatives (like the one guy and his father).

Same car.

They even have similar friends. Gas station manager is Bunta's Itsuki. The shop mechanic who helps replace the engine could be like an Iketani or maybe an amalgam of Iketani and like Fumihiro or the other tech in Project D.

Ryosuke could've been cool though. Racing on the street, gymkhana since they say he participated in that, etc. Good mix of street and some official track days.

Todays episode, so hype!!

Meh, wonder how will be the plot amor(s). I ain't bothered with the manga either

Update: this anime is life because nostalgia of OG characters. And the gt86 finally will be boosted.
