>protip: you can't
>4th stage is boring
>5th stage is kinda boring
>art style keeps changing but never improving
>no german or murican cars
>all the girls except Mako and Kyoko are shit
>Itsuki is an annoying twat
But who cares about any of that, all iD threads inevitably devolve into Eurobeat posting, so let's get started.

Only 1st Stage is really great.

>>137630357

FEEL IT FEEL IT BABY FEEL THE FIRE IS RUNNING DEEP INSIDE ME
>>137630428
>all the girls except Mako and Kyoko are shit
Sayuki's not exactly a bad girl at heart, even if there's only one thing she can ever think of normally.
>>137631029
I wish there were more of these.
Is Initial D the only anime made by normies, for normies?
Literally zero otaku pandering, unless you consider car enthusiasts to be otakus.
>>137630432
Having only finished First Stage, this actually makes me glad that I don't have a car yet and don't plan on getting one any time soon. I've mostly only grown up loving open-wheelers and there's no car culture to speak of where I live, but I still loved 1S in spite of its simplicity and its shortcomings and especially in spite of the fact that I couldn't relate to the general feeling the way that anon did. As worried as I am about the relevance of introduced characters falling off a cliff, I'm now more hopeful that I'll be able to at least partially enjoy the following seasons.
>>137631103
The following season are great too, it's just that the first one was the best.
The manga is also great, but you can't read it without some good old EUROBEAT

>>137631160
The Eurobeat's another one of those things that I'm really happy about, but that's more because, for some insane reason, I was introduced to it (and loved it) long before I got into the series.
>>137631093
>normie
Fuck off cancer
Manga fag here, what am I expecting?
>>137631304
If you don't like cars, save some hard drive space
>>137631304
Repetitive story and cool cars.
Still great though.
>>137631304
kickass eurobeat and awesome japanese cars
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu-QEKnTr0s
>>137630357
It didn't end after the 3rd stage.
What
>>137631425
4 wheel slide? How is that a hard concept?
>>137631425
>too little throttle
>understeer
>too much throttle
>oversteer
?
Just a guess
>>137630357
i am not into car.
Mogi is a fucking whore.
>>137630357
>>137631093
Kill yourself
>>137631160
Why don't you post the superior version?
https://youtu.be/K9ALaS8lHGM
>>137631304
At the beginning you wont like it, it took me about a year to get past the beginning. But then you'll get crazy, watching all the episodes you got.
NO MORE ANIME TO WATCH NOW, YOU GOTTA GO AND DRIFT NOW
>>137632199
People are bloody weird if they say that the 1S art style is in any way difficult to look at.
Initial D literally converted me to manual transmissions

>implying this isn't the best version.I listened to this the whole of christmas
>>137631984
She was still second best girl.
>>137632815
Kyoko > Mako > Sayuki > Mogi > Golf Takumi
4th best
I like the part in Initial D where Takumi won the race.
>>137631304
Terrible animation and good music.
>>137632949
He should have lost to Pro Racer guy and Joshima
does /o/ like initial D or is it just a lot of overlap from /a/?
Rank your favorite cars.
>>137633077
FD>all
>>137633107
I liked the look of the NSX the best but the FD is nice.
>>137633077
FC=FD>all. I like most of the cars quite a lot, but given my childhood, I'll always be biased towards the RX-7s.
>>137633071
/o/ adores Inital D
See >>137630828
>>137633071
Not a regular, but the general consensus seems to be that even those who don't normally watch anime adore it.
>>137633107
FC > FC > All
>>137631029
What's /ss/
>>137633077
S2000 > Ek9 > Eg6 > FD > FC
I wanted to get a civic, too bad that they are too expensive in my country for what they are, and either in terrible state, or have been ravaged by cancer tuning.
>>137632845
You forgot that one slut Itsuki had a crush on, she was worst.
>>137633565
Straight shota

>>137634303

>>137632803
