Synopsis

It's girls, gangs, and cars in this adaptation of the 1985 manga in Young Magazine, by Lullaby for Wednesday's Cinderella-creator Michiharu Kusunoki. Local punks steal cars, switch the plates, and sell them, but not without racing them for a while against rival gangs. The anime continues the story where the 1987 live-action movie starring Kazuya Kimura left off.

But if by any chance, you enjoy watching stupid guys, doing rather dumb stuff
and on top of that you like JDM culture, i can almost guarantee you that you'll enjoy this show.
I mean, this show won't change your life, don't have any really strong points either.
It's just really enjoyable comedy, which ...

If you were a fan of Initial D for the culture surrounding that era, this would be my top pick for a next up. Think of it like Initial D but for the late 1980's where this story is set- and with less racing and more filler. It is an excellent period-correct show to study Japan's peak "Bubble Era" economy. Particularly about the "bosozoku" street phenomenon.

Would say the story focuses less on racing the machines and instead it is about the people and the lifestyle that surrounded it. Much tradition and cultural experiences are depicted here which is lost on modern media today. Things like ...
