If you've played the game, the whole other half of the game (based off manga) is called "The Legendary FC" Arc haha

if you notice in most of the eps, they seem to pass FC's alot on the highway

 

^^ and miatas etc.. i figured the studio probably carried over alot of initial d forth stage 3d car models over to this series as background cars

 

i saw a bunch of Subaru SVX's in the back ground too.

 

Oh thank god someone's working on subtitles. I saw this thread the other day. Well actually yesterday. Watched all the episodes with subs so far. Now I just want to see what happens. I actually like the story lines a little. Doesn't always make much sense. But they make racing seem like a key part of their lives. Just entertaining.

 

Is this series any good? I watched Fourth Stage and I thought it was ok, but the best of the Initial D series. Is this the very beginning of the anime?
