A popular anime series set in the early 1990s and based on the manga by Shuici Shigeno INITIAL D (the significance of the title remains a mystery throughout) follows a teenage delivery boy Tak who unwittlingly becomes the best drift racer in his region. Tak works during the day as a gas station attendant and every night he must make a delivery high in the mountains for his father's tofu shop. One night a triumphant encounter with the local racing hero makes Tak a star and he finds himself drawn into the world of touge racing which takes place among the dangerous mountain passes. Tak's father Bunta is a former racing champion himself and he undertakes to train his son offering wisdom between puffs of the cigarettes he constantly chain-smokes. Joining the local Akina Speed Stars and pursuing a relationship with Natalie Mogi--whose worldiness surpasses that of the average high schooler--Tak has adventures and engages in races with challengers who come from all over Japan. The series is drawn in both 2-D and 3-D and features an engaging Eurobeat soundtrack while the characters are well-drawn and complex. Novices to street racing should not be deterred as the technical side of things is very clearly explained in an interesting way. This episode features a battle between the 86's the Toyota Trueno AE 86 withTak driving the car he inherited from Bunta. His challenger is Wataru and neither driver will quit before exhaustion sets in. Did you find errors in this product information? Submit a catalog
