how you get into it, it will be either hard or easy to accept, but I feel this presentation was done for the right reasons even though it will take awhile to get into this anime. I felt that things got exciting way too much at the end and it leaves you wanting for more, but I guess there’s the manga to make you satisfied which I’m now getting into. The 1st portion of this series will be repetitive and slow, but it’s done for the purpose to build suspense, motivate development, and establish the story. I don’t blame anybody for doing so, but if you’re going to watch this with expectations based on Initial D, then you’re going to watch it for all the wrong reasons. Obviously, your 1st reaction so far will be you’re thinking Initial D. The manga follows Akio's various encounters, though the central plot revolves around his constant battle with the BlackBird for superiority. He also finds that all of the car's previous owners had unfortunate accidents in it, starting with the first owner's death. He soon finds that the car is unnaturally fast due to a tuned L28 engine, bored and stroked to 3.1 liters combined with twin turbos, which produces 620bhp. Intrigued as to why such a machine is about to be junked, he buys it. Determined to become faster, he goes to the junkyard to buy parts for his car, when he sees a pristine, unscratched midnight blue Fairlady Z (S30) in the junkyard. With a friend in the passenger seat and two girls in the back, Akio pitifully tries to win, but is defeated. One day, Akio Asakura, a third year high school student, is driving his Fairlady Z (Z31) and is challenged by Tatsuya Shima, a doctor, in his black Porsche 964 Turbo (nicknamed the "BlackBird"). Blown engines are also a frequent hazard, especially with the extreme-high power engines. Because of this, the action is inherently hazardous, and wrecks are common. Of course, there's also lots of traffic to contend with, including a fair number of heavy trucks. The story gets its roots from the actual street racing that occurs on Tokyo's Shuto Expressway, one stretch of which is known as the "Wangan", literally meaning "bay side" (although it is generally used to refer to the freeway), the longest, straightest road in the entire country. Based on a seinen manga by Kusunoki Michiharu serialised in Young Magazine.
