1. He only wins in the first stage by drifting in gutters

2. The rest of the time he wins because Ryoske tells him some wonderous piece of advice

3. He has a pet peeve with “old geesers in fast cars”

4. His love life is horrible

5. He’s always either starstruck or completely oblivious (see picture above)

DISCUSSION (34)

3. He has a pet peeve with “old geesers in Mercedes because they are statutorily raping his love interest”

He ends up with a hot golfing pro who is a lot like him. I’d say he’s quite good on the love front. Compared to say.....itsuki or literally any other racer.

Like I said, his love life is horrible

I was hoping for him to end up with the prostitute, seeing as she gave up her money machine to be with him

Too far, you sir have not experienced the greatness of it

You’re right- I have experienced the awfulness of it.

I think to enjoy Initial D you have to meet a few requirements: you should be 18 y/o or younger, you have to have a passion for quirky cars and you have to be prepared for anything romantically charged to always end in utter disappointment, haha.

Although at age 30 and if I hadn’t watched it at age ~15, I’d still watch it today.

6) Despite him being a fast driver, any “important” races will take 2-3 episodes to complete

Have you seen the whole series? Part of why she gives it up is because she wants to pursue her own dreams on her own so she leaves takumi to go to school. Yeah he was part of why she left the sugar daddy but she did it a lot for herself too. One of the few bits of decent character writing for the series and a semi accurate depiction of how life goes sometimes. It’s a bit of a wake-up slap to Takumi to get his own life together and that’s when he begins asking about Project D and starts taking racing more seriously.

And against the true fastest drivers, he relies on deus-ex-fuckyouina like a cat running across the road or an old man getting sick behind the wheel because he’s old.

Yeah but this show is like the Morris Marina of anime.

...is what I said when I watched it

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > themanwithsauce - has as many vehicles as job titles

Or a pile of debris, or leafs, or the opponent having a stomach flu.

Lol the show really is ridiculous and I so don’t care

You can try, but it won’t work.

Don’t forget Takumi’s dumb luck! Even Ryosuke admits that’s a big part of his success.

I know, I was just rewatching that episode. I like dubs and that was the last dubbed episode

last time I checked they were still together when she went to school. considering right after she left he said that he might have to visit her sometime or whatever

This is so so incredibly true

“deus-ex-fuckyouina”

Thats my new favorite motto

It’s basically mandatory in all classic anime conflicts. Major fights, races, etc take an eternity to complete

I hope Funimation does 5th & Final Stages (& Extra Stage 2). Their dubs for 1-4 were pretty good.

11/06/2017 at 18:03

This is true as well

11/06/2017 at 18:04

Yeah, but I don’t think they would. The last dub was in 2006

[Three episodes pass of drawn-out fighting interrupted by constant talking/monologues]
