I'm afraid I'm in the 10% of people who have no idea what you are banging on about.

I gather from your second link that Initial D is anime. Not sure that 90% of SN are anime fans...

I'm another Yorkshireman, and I don't know either....

Maybe the full 10% lives in God's own county....

I'm not from yorkshire, but i feel the quantity of people not knowing what you are talking about is rising!

Obviously the signs of modern day society!

If it makes you feel any better I know what you're talking about. Our company is currently doing the post production on this film - editing, colour correction and special effects. Some of the driving scenes are pretty impressive. I've seen bits of the cartoon before but anime is not really my thing. The live action version is much better!

btw, i am a born londoner. only moved here in 2002

now thats sorted.

initial d, is about a 17/18 year old japanese "tofu" delivery boy, who drives his dad's AE86,
accross the mountains (bends and all sorts)
each village/town, there is a team , a racing team,
and they all challenge each other.
one day he got involved with his local team, and they all need his help to save their poor reputation.
the anime graphics etc is absolutely cool.
if i know how to upload an episode/scene i would do it.

Its not just a cartoon. Its a fuking awesome Cartoon!
Seriously, its my life in cartoon form
Everything is totally authentic, from the way the cars move, drift and handle, to the music which is remakably similar to the music I listen to when i go out for a tickle
Trivia for
Initial D (2005)
Three new Toyota AE86 Sprinter Truenos, a car out of production since 1987, were especially built by Toyota for the film.
Oh. My. God.

as well as that, i've just found out the race locations such as Mt. Akina pass ACTUALLY exists and is regularly used by drift racers.

As well as that, there is a "Gentlemens agreement" with the local police where if the racers stick to the early hours, they are not bothered by law enforcement.
I'm moving, thats all there is to it.

Yes, as I have it running on my UK PS2....

You need a HDD, a BB adapter, a copy of winhiip (for the PS2) and hdloader \ hdadvance for the PS2.

(oh and it needs to be an old "large" PS2)
