Initial D is so amazing because you can actually relate to it. The realism factor in the show is just top notch and that is what they were going for. Hence why Tsuchiya was on the editorial staff making sure that the writers were accurate. God I love that show.. I want to live in that world  |
Nothing like Speed Racer other than it has race cars in it...Speed Racer wishes it were Redline... LOL.
Redline is a masterpiece of anime - a racing story that is not really about racing, more of a love story and different universe happenings that takes place under a crazy race... more deathrace/madmax than speedracer. It was totally done for sheer visual entertainment and to poke a little fun at the anime industry. All hand drawn with the smoothest animation you have ever seen - 7 years to produce. Blu-Ray quality is phenominal, both in visual and audio. Takeshi Koike is the guy behind Redline...and there is none like him. Some of his other animation work to give you an idea of his style (Redline is more subdued than this stuff):

If you want most realism with racing anime, then
Capeta is the top dog... it's about kart/formula racing.
