Great OST as usual. So I guess this episode focuses on the girls more...

I'm fine with that and I see that Mako isn't going down without a fight in this race. Not bad.

Aaaww yeah, Mako unexpectedly winning was perfect. I know, she wasn't up against either the number one or two of the Emperors, but still.

Also I spotted one new and very cool beat, great to see there's always room for improvement in that department.

Well the fan service caught me by surprise. That EVO guy was a pushover though.

After watching season five where the girls show up towards the end I came back to rewatch this. I like Mako and Sayuki better than any of Takumi's girlfriends, haha.

Pretty lovely side story and fan service! I wonder if the second episode is a bit more about the romance part!

Been a while since I watched the series... lol I couldn't remember who the girls were talking about by name.

Intense race as expected from this series.

An extra with Mako as the main character? Sign me up! I loved it.

But Iketani truly was the worst, making her wait for more than three hours, and not even having the courage to call her, she waited for him, and it even affected her driving too. But well, Sayuki is a great friend, and when it comes to teaching a conceited misogynist that a girl can race better than him, they are the best. A pity it wasn't one of those two main guys from the team, but it certainly explains why they didn't go to Usui, their lackeys kept the existence of the 'Impact Blue' to themselves. At least the fact that they crushed a "superior" car or whatever, with no trouble at all remains, Mako is the real deal, and I love her.

A pity Sayuki's childhood friend is Shingo though, maybe he was decent when he was a kid, and not a person that sent others to the hospital or tried to make them crash or something, but poor her. Nakazato was bewitched though. lol Their faces when they heard that they had won against that lan-evo was priceless too.

Ah, it's nice to see an OVA that revolves around those two girls. The bath scene though, damn. Seems like it's going to be a rather heated up race.

I'm glad they won against that sexist pig. Mako is indeed a genius, even more with Sayuki's aid.

Cool side story. I liked the way that race was presented. It's visuals were decent and more slightly more detailed than in Second Stage. As always, the music was great - I really liked the track picked up as for the theme of Impact Blue racing with LanEvo guy.

I liked also subtle, yet very pleasant to watch fanervice scenes, I won't deny it. ;pp

Whats the song name in the first episode where mako and sato approach and challenge the lan evo guys (around 17:30 minutes in the first episode)... talking about funimation version...

Overall great OVA and as usual amazing OST...

Pretty cool, it was nice seeing more focus on side characters rather than everything always being about Takumi.

I was trying to fight sleeping in the second half of the episode.

The fan-service came out of nowhere, it wasn't present in the main series, why here? Why would you suddenly add boob shots in a perfectly family friendly anime? I'm rating this episode 6/10 just coz of that unecessary fan-service. Also the race was boring, I was sleeping half the time.

Expected something better, disappointed.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

Team Emperor members who went a head for Kyoichi got too cocky.

Mako and Sayuki show them girls can be good racers, too. It's good to see racers learning from their experience after racing against Takumi and his AE86.

Seeing Iketani make the biggest mistake of his life again was painful.

Never thought this was a fanservice anime in general, I was totally taken back too...

Mako/Sayuki duet is still kicking ass, that emperor douche kinda deserved it with his chauvinist remarks. I bet he will remember that loss a lot more. I see Mako has gotten over Iketani, I'm really glad she did, the guy sucks anyways.

I see Takeshi likes Sayuki.

The animation is simply evolving as episodes pass, it's just so tremendous. The ost has craved a name for itself in the Initial D series no doubt, It's good.

I guess it's the arc focusing on the SilEighty duo, especially Mako. Well, I must profess she deserved the win against that unsightly bloke IMO.

I'm satisfied with the complementary stage. Not bad.

wow, this girl runs really well, it's incredible how she handles curves.

It was good she ran, I couldn't bear that humiliation.

This novel... is very cold.
