Product Description

A new challenger appears in the form of Team Night Kids’ Takeshi "Zack" Nakazato. While the rest of the Speed Stars are understandably excited, Tak refuses to accept the challenge since he does not consider himself a street racer. With the scheduled race fast approaching, Tak begins to realize that he just may have what it takes to go head to head with the unbeatable GT-R despite the odds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling fun., February 12, 2004

By	Brian Petersen "otaku" (Lockwood, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The first 2 episodes (7 & 8) on this DVD are just basically the set up for episode 9 in which Takumi races the GT-R. All the episodes were great. Takumi coming to realize that he may have a love for racing. Natsuki letting her feelings for Takumi show more. Takumi's dad Bunta and his boss at the gas station Yuichi plotting to get him fired up about racing. This is a great series and anyone who is a fan of racing should pick Initial D up. There are two problems with this and all the Initial D DVD's by TOKYOPOP are that the episode quantity on each DVD is too low and the release time between DVD's is WAY too long. TOKYOPOP if you are out there please bump up the episode count and bring the DVD's out once a month.

1.0 out of 5 stars forget anything TOKYOPOP brings..., September 3, 2005

By	H-F H "ghettohf" (Canada) - See all my reviews

TOKYOPOP doesn't know anime and transform it into uglyness (change score, characters' names, cut scenes, etc...). Pioneer at least keep the original score and characters' names for their animes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Drift to Victory!!, September 5, 2004

By	T. Banh "oak415" (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Originally I saw Initial D back 2 years ago..the Japanese version with english subtitles. Let me tell you, even that was awesome at that time. But it really takes away from the show. Well low and behold they have finally translated it to English. The voices sound like who they really are not all old like the Japanese version. Soundtrack is alright.. more hiphop but if you want you can customize your ride during the DVD menu and hear the better Japanese soundtrack. After you watch this you will think Quarter mile is so stone aged. Drifting is the latest trend. INITIALIIIIIIZE!!!!
