The teenage street-racing adventure Initial D (1998) is set in a flyspeck town north of Tokyo, where the only thrill the local teens have is racing on the winding road up Mt. Akina. Takumi "Tak" Fujiwara isn't exited by racing like his friends Iggy and Cole. He doesn't realize that his ex-racer father has taught him all the tricks of driving by making him deliver tofu up and down Mt. Akina without spilling the water in a cup. The technical difficulties of performing various maneuvers and the challenges from members of racing gangs lure Tak into competition. Despite his skills, Tak isn't a terribly interesting character; as his friends note, when he's not racing, it's hard to tell if he's asleep or awake. Iggy and Cole feel like stock anime sidekicks, and the girls in the cast are little more than adjuncts to the boys. Initial D mythologizes street racing as if it were a martial art: Tak drives with a "powerful aura," and the road races become duels of honor.

Initial D scored a huge hit in Japan, generating two sequels, two spin-offs, numerous video games, a theatrical feature, and a live-action film. But the computer animation of the races that looked cutting edge in 1998 now feels passé: any video game offers flashier car races. The Complete First Season set includes all 26 episodes of the original series and first installment of the first sequel, Initial D: Second Stage (1999). Although each episode is presented in both "classic" (original video, Japanese dialogue, original music) and "tricked out" (enhanced video, English dialogue, hip-hop soundtrack) versions, including only three per disc seems stingy. (Rated TV PG, suitable for ages 14 and older: minor violence, tobacco and alcohol use, street racing, profanity) --Charles Solomon
