Ren is cute and all, but they could cut her out and it would probably be better imo. The set-up is so LAME. He's cute, mysterious, from a prestigious background, has some trauma/troubled past, and is insanely good at what he's doing. Tf is this, 50 shades of Initial D? GTFO with that shit.

The racing is cool though and the Initial D references were a great throwback. Damn, can't wait for the other parts of this story to unfold.

that is easily the opening of the season, yuu serizawa fuckin killed and i've been listening to jungle fire on spotify this whole week. eurobeat is unmatched and the race was undoubtedly hype. my boi ryosuke!!! we didn't get to see his face but hearing takehito koyasu's voice was all that was needed. kanata got shades of takumi due to being his student and the AE86 flashback hit so hard. i like how the new car also has the 86 number.
noticed the animation style for the cars look more similar to the new initial D legends movies, instead of the actual show.
solid episode, i'm definitely liking this adaptation more than the manga so far and this episode was better than the first for sure. now on to the next racing anime for the day lol, overtake.

You're going to sell me the idea that he changed his whole career as a strategist and pro racer to become a surgeon? A career that takes several years of training and expertise just to be able to be a helper at any kind of surgery.
street racing was not his career, just a side gig which he even planned to retire early from. and we already learned in 5th stage that he was a medical student. pay attention, your ignorance is laughable.

Your childish fanboyism is the true laughable thing in here.

A career isn't something you can juggle with an expensive hobbie that takes away most of your time. Any sensible person would rather choose a surgeon to perform surgery on them that has had a decade or more in experience in their expert field than a street runner that returned to the medical field and god knows what's his real experience with people under the scalpel.

Just because the author said hE wAs a MeDiCaL sTuDenT doesn't make it plausible for anyone that has the most basic common sense. That is just plain BAD writing. Fanboys will swallow anything just because the author said so...

@Kimurah "a career that takes several years of training and expertise" the author has already told us that he was a medical student from a young age so he has years of experience and anyone who's paid attention to the screen knows he's not just any idiot, but someone who actually knows what he's talking about. unlike you at the moment, how ironic.

the author has given us a reasonable explanation already, don't blame your lack of basic reading comprehension skills on the author. but don't worry, i don't blame you for your stupidity either, i blame the education system for failures like you. just put two brain cells together for once in your life, and you won't be sweating over this anymore. it's that simple.

Very honestly, it's the second piece of this year that I have replayed the whole of the show immediately following the live air closing (The first one was «Oshi no Ko» ep. #07. «MFG» is rather adrenal).

Pog. A moment of epic. It yields goosebumps...

So far it has been alright.. feels a little less exciting to me than Initial D was, due to the professional racing environment. Think I just prefer the underground street racing scene more. I think there will be many comparisons to the old anime, but I'm going to just go into this as its own show from here on and hope it surprises me. Still early days.

CGI was janky during one scene, made me feel like I was on USS Discovery (NCC-1031), almost needed a sick bag there.

The way MC says one word of English almost every sentence always raises a smirk from me, "Fantashtick!"

Can't say that I'm really feeling this anime tbh. Don't care for that weight-to-grip ratio rule, finding the "trick" to MFG... It's 4-wheel drifting isn't it!? I think that all these professional racers could figure that one out.

Nothing much happened this episode, lots of useless "advice" from senpais, "I can't watch" sad-so-sads from the ladies, a few seconds of Eurobeat here and there, what else was there?

I guess this qualifier race will be complete in Episode 3.

well i think he's a new watcher to this anime so that why he said that but then again he kinda like asking for it with his second reply and of course he should research a bit, im sure is not that hard researching ryosuke life story but anyway atleast now someone has give some info on ryosuke as surgeon and not continuing as racer. peace

I can't help but smile a lot in this episode. Not only were the namedrops of Ryousuke, working as a surgeon, as well as Takumi Fujiwara himself, get mentioned here, but the eurobeat combining with the driving that Kanata is doing in the GT86 does make for an epic time. =)

And, of course, the excellent four-wheel drift that evoked memories of the AE86 which made Fumihiro tear up. Now that's how you end the episode on a high note!

We also got to see the OP for the first time and the song for it is great too. It also showed other cars that weren't shown yet, like the Alpine A110 and the BMW M2, so I do look forward to seeing them in action at some point.

As for the CGI quality, I feel like it's still a bit too early to sum up the overall quality of it, but on early impressions so far, it's pretty good. There are some shots where the framerate drops too much, but there's far less of that issue compared to Initial D 5th stage, so I'd say that's a good thing. As long as the car models and backgrounds work together in mostly good harmony, with some nice showy angles to make the most of it, then I'll be satisfied. =P

I can't help it but get goosebumps everytime ryosuke and takumi are mentioned. and the little flashbacks of the trueno and rx7fc just- I can't help it but tear up. I didn't expect I'd get emoional from this anime, I actually thought it would disappoint me, but it really is a worhty sequel of Initial D, especially with a cliffhanger like this; We're so back

@section96 I'm not trying to fuel any fire here because it seems like it's kinda resolved but just wanted to add that the whole Ryousuke doctor detail was pretty well mentioned in the original series. I wouldn't say integral but definitely relevant.

It's been years since I finished Initial D but



Anyways the other guy replying could have simply forgotten except with that aggression he's kinda asking for it...

so kanatas teacher is takumi eh no wonder

and why they did not show the cars that he pass by though

also kanata has photographic memory it seems since he claimed the race track is playing like a movie in his head
@deg pretty sure its time attack so his place increasing is his time at a certain part of a course is faster than whichever place he just passes up. not a race so not other cars there with him

Like Overtake, this is so so for me. Too much exposition, racing is not enough, speed not felt very well. Maybe as a motorsport enthusiast I want too much. Still, I am not dropping for now.

Better than the first ep (not hard seeing how trash tiers it was) but still 2 billions km away from Initial D.


It's just a rip off not knowing what was good about Initial D: R.A.C.I.N.G.


An alone car running against a clock ... yeah, so interesting they had to put a truck load of Initial D ref' to keep the viewers awake.

Plus, the back story so so sad ... who gives a fuck ?

The slut, who gives a fuck ?

2023, why is there a slut character ? Grow up FFS !


Yeah, if this is all there is to be, it's just going to be a passable thing to watch nobody would have care if it wasn't a a fake Initial D sequel.

Talk about milking ...
@helldraco

🤣🤣🤣 love your comment

Yeah I couldn’t agree more

Old initial D was some thing else
