WTF? Subaru x Gainax Project?
 

First thing first, if you don't watch any anime/cartoon then, this topic isn't really matter. BUT if you wanna read, you're more than welcome to read it.

And yes, I am anime fan. Not big fan as JDM car maniac, but it's up there for sure. :bellyroll:

Anyways, while looking around few stuff on Subaru online, I came cross this site Subaru x Gainax Anime Project

and here's the PV

Yes, you heard it correctly in the vid. Main chara's name is... Subaru (go figures right?). Now it's airing... Gainax have released well known anime series. Evangelion, FLCL, KareKano, Gurren Lagann, and recent one is Panty & Stocking w Garterbelt... but now join project with Subaru? wow now I've almost seen everything.

Man, Subaru sure is busy these days making their ver of FT86, co-project with Cosworth for 1.6L Turbo Impreza & now making an anime series. I wonder, next WRC Impreza gonna have "Houkago no Pleiades" decal all over it. :bellyroll:

edit: I just watch til epi 2 and finall figured out where Subaru come along in this project. Can skip it til 2:10

...just speechless.

Damn, What again? Subaru should make the anime version for FT-86. I will get one in the heart beat.... well.. for my girl. hahaha

Never know. They might :bellyroll:

A modern Initial D? Hmmm... I just recently discovered the old Midnight Wangan. Starts off with a kid in a 300ZX turbo (1st 300ZX model, Z31?) with 3 passengers, trying to race an older Porsche Turbo, and is surprised that he gets wasted. Not a great first impression.

You mean Wangan Midnight anime series?

Also if you want, there's another racing series called Capeta. Start out as kids karting race... but later when he gets older he drive on faster car...

Anime. There's a live action movie, too?

bout 2 yrs ago they made it.

Wangan Midnight (anime) was help made by Best Motoring (just like Ini-D). There were total of 26 anime episodes.

lol. I couldn't make out most of it because I don't understand much Japanese, between the anata wa and onee-chan it's all Japanese. Something about them being karuku(sp?) and the blob is a kaiju. But I did catch the engine note from the flying stick. And the sound keeps playing in the background while they blab. Isn't magic girls extremely overdone in Anime?

Pleiades = Subaru. But engine sounds for what I can only guess is a magic stick. lawl, that's cheesy.

Reminds me of the classic anime series, Sailor Moon.

lol im not against anime or anything actually i kinda like some of it, but what is this anime exactly about except that Subaru is the main characters name?

Go find out, and write a review on here. :bellyroll::bellyroll:

Actually, it is the Fairlady Z 280Z-L 2seater (S130) '78 with twin turbo. If you watched the whole series (anime or comic) you will see that.

I think the name subaru is just happen to be that girl's name, but then that engine sound, is that a boxer engine sound or the new FT-86?

BTW, if Subaru is working with Gainax, does that mean we get AT Field (Evangelion) on the new FT-86?

Actually Dimman is correct. First, Akio drove red 300zx (z31).
