If you pretend that the first season is the only season, its one of the best racing anime, if not the very best, out there

>you will never roam across the deserted late-night mountain roads looking for a challenge in your screaming-yellow rotor-powered duragon
Goddamit.

What's wrong with the other seasons?

>>142328176
Its not that its BAD necessarily but its not up to par except maybe the final season where its a build up from the previous seasons. Also its just that the first season does it the best from introducing the cast to the very end climax. Also the best Eurobeat selections

>>142327540
It is absolutely worth the watch just for the ost alone. Even if it's a subpar race, you'll still enjoy it.

He's driving an old shitbox against people driving cars much better than his. He's punching above his weight-class and coming out on top every time. That's the whole point.

did he die

>>142330007
Nah. Even when I loved Ken vs God Foot and Takumi vs God Hand they used backin the rocks again instead of something else there wasn't much time to make a build up to the fight. Unlike in first stage with all the episodes building to the fight of Takumi vs Ryo

An old shitbox that gets a new engine in Second Stage that can match or even outperform his opponents' engines. Oh yeah, such a fucking underdog.

first stage is about a regular kid who goes to school, has a part time job working with his bros, and happens to be an expert driver. because of his driving skill, he meets many interesting people. there are a lot of races, but in the end it's about the characters, whether you grow to like, respect, fear, etc. first stage does a great job of making all the characters likeable (except kenta, fucking faggot) and fun to root for in their own way.

the other stages just don't give you the same kind of feeling, that takumi's opponents are real people with their own goals and desires. they just seem like opponents to be lined up and defeated in a race one after another and you couldn't give less of a shit about who they are.

>>142333447
Huh, who knew engines were the only important thing in racing. Thanks for that input.

>>142327634
Takumi never feels himself being an underdog. He's not trying to overthrow the reigning champions, instead they themselves come to him and just races because other people prompt him to.

>>142328139
Or in a B-series engine swapped Honda shitbox.

>>142336519
Featuring cars that people actually used is a big part of the charm.

>>142333199
Even though Fourth Stage was boring as hell, that was a pretty great moment.

GET ME POWER
