You kidding that's what the 20 year old 240 with mis-matched primered panels is for.

Downloading as I type. Wasn't too thrilled with what I've read of the Manga so far so I'm not holding my breath. Thanks for the heads up.

alexkosheck · 06-12-2007, 10:48 AM

Watched it yesterday
Good, follows story good, but nothin "extraordinary"
The sounds of the cars were done really well though

2f2fLOL · 06-12-2007, 03:46 PM

I agree with ^. The anime is starting slow, but hopefully it picks up like most animes.

*ManoNegra* · 06-12-2007, 05:16 PM

Wow, saw about half of it. Initial D clone - style, music, art, etc.

HyperTek · 06-12-2007, 05:30 PM

Yeah I know but you don't normally see that much similarity between projects. I mean Evangelion and Ebichu both made by Gainax are polar opposites for example.

SimpleSexy180 · 06-12-2007, 06:01 PM

Its dope IMO.

i like the idea about how the z is literally a cursed devil car.

cant wait to see how this story folds out to the main char.

LB.Motoring · 06-12-2007, 06:05 PM

I'm working on my s30z

hahahaha,

I wanna drive really slow tho.

really? i thought it was moving too fast, but then again i've never read the manga.

chmercer · 06-12-2007, 06:30 PM

man. i really enjoyed that. haha

alexkosheck · 06-12-2007, 06:33 PM

The manga has a lot of crazy cars
Too bad not much of the manga is translated yet
Wangan Midnight is older than Initial D, I believe.

Unholy S14 · 06-12-2007, 07:33 PM

wow I totally forgot about it

thank you so much for reminding me

repped

BustedS13 · 06-12-2007, 11:08 PM

just watched episode one...

kind of a silly story being laid out, the fansubs aren't the greatest, and the video encoding leaves something to be desired... but the action sequences in it were top notch, and it seems they put a lot of effort into the sfx. about time we got some fresh car porn.

This show is pretty dope. I enjoy it so far.
I think the animation is pretty cool, seems more rough than I.D.

alexkosheck · 06-19-2007, 10:41 AM

it looks significantly less like cgi... i can't quite put my finger on it. i think a LOT of the shots with cars in them are hand-drawn cars, with cgi backgrounds, instead of the other way around, or all cgi. at any rate, it looks awesome.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 06-19-2007, 06:45 PM

Those torrents got translations? I started getting it yesterday and i got done with ep 2, but it didnt have any translation.

djkowai · 06-19-2007, 07:06 PM

i just got done with episode one. I havent read the manga but i cant wait to see where this story goes, i liked it a lot.
