Saw Initial D for the first time today, wow... Options

[95CelicaST]

In the beginning I was a little unsure, I thought the fat kid was going to be the God of the mountain, but then everything took off. Real good movie. I thought it was going to be complete trash. It makes me want an AE86 even more. And whats with the guys in the leather jackets and studs everywhere. Tacky.

All-in-all; good movie.

Any more out now?

The movie doesn't compare to the series at all.. Watch the series is you haven't already and you will be amased. I just saw the entire series (up to the point it's at the moment). Stage 1, 2, 3 (it's a movie) and 4 up to episode 23 or something.. And I have the regular movie version. It's good, but nothing compared to the tv show.. And most things are just pure wrong in the movie, compared to the show.

I have every episode of the series, the movie was alright. But the series is so much better.

Oh crap, the price of AE86's is going to shoot up now. I was really wanting to get one of those too. Oh well. I'm not paying 10k for a 20 year old car with rust spots.

nobody wants a SR5
they don't have a LSD and they're just plain weak.
sr5s are DDs
take lots of money to build up, and a good ae86 is 5-7k
wayyy too much IMO, which is why i went sc300.
nothing LIKE a hatchi, but i get looks along w/ my weight

not even close. the series and the fact it is a good beginners drift car is what raised the price over a decade ago when initial D first started coming out. a crappy pseudo-remake done with real actors instead of the CG/Cartoon everyone is used to isnt going to make a lick of difference. overall it was terrible.. ive never seen a remake that actually meshed 2 charicters into 1 person lol they changed too much.

yea, they did a good job of making me hate his friend though
too bad there wasn't even the S13 guy for him to learn from n such...he was just BA in this movie, lol

I had the first couple Manga books for Initial D, and i wanted the DVDs, but when it actually came available on DVD i grabbed it. Realized how popular it was shortly after and quit paying attention. so yea, i own the first one and like 2-3Manga books

anyone notice the 6 gen celica gt-4 in season 3 of initial D?

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I really have no idea how I'm missing all this. I have never seen it. Is it on tv or somewere?

[Jdog1385]

yea i didnt like the movie too much but the series is another story

[Kwanza26]

Movie was gay... the ultimate gay. The series is very good. I've seen them all even through stage 4... which has supposedly ended at episode 24. For those who are inspired to buy an AE86 after watching these movies... the AE86 is a slow car... but with massive build potential. Also... they cost quite a chunck of change considering their age and typical condition.
