>if Initial D was made today, all of the drivers Takumi meets would have been cute girls and they would fall for him after he wins
>>146456689
Anon, I hate to break it to you, but 90% of the reason Initial D was good was the eurobeat. Changing the driver's genders really wouldn't matter as long as it didn't affect that.
>if Initial D was made today all the cars would be ugly.
Why the fuck are nowadays cars so fucking ugly , maybe is because I live in europe?
>>146457483
Europe has the best looking cars, though. They're still bad, of course.

All those things belong in the 90s, truly a product of it's time.

japanese anime about carfu's when?

Seriously. I rewatched it recently and it's just comically bad CGI, the laziest shot dialogue scenes ever or zoom ins of someone looking determined while driving a car and having a DBZ esque monologue about a car or driving technique
>>146457717
You mean antro cars like Kancolle? I can dig that.
>>146457794
Yeah, that'd be great.

Now we have shit like New Game!, which they removed the males from the source material for the anime.

Even if Eurobeat made us go wow, character stuff mattered in the first 3 stages and it made us care. The rivals were also memorable. Only in the later stages they just give up on everything besides racing and oyu watch just for the music. That's why Ryousuke's race was memorable, because it had something behind it.
Has anyone else read Countach? I feel that it would probably do really well as an anime.
>>146457581

anon pls
>>146458018
Wangan midnight isnt as interesting as initial d tho.
>>146458245
I like the music/games of WM better than Initial D.
>>146458189
Japan is even worse and everything America makes is a fucking hotrod.
>>146457831
>games of Initial D
Tried the PS2 game. Every car feels identical and it's like you're going on rails.
>>146456689
Theres a H-game with that plot
>>146458459
>PS2 game
You have to play these games in the arcade or else they are all boring.
>>146457635
Is this a joke? Anytime there's a show with more than one male it gets labeled fujoshit by /a/. Look at Rakugo, Haikyuu, 91 days, whatever. There are tons of mainly male casted shows now a days to the point where people actually bitch about "too much fujoshit".
>>146458492
Youve got some balls coming here without naming it.

Tfw no pc initial d / wangan related vidya excluding modded games.
Should I watch the live action?
>>146458519
I suppose. I got more fun out of Race Driver GRID since it actually features Akina and AE86 and the balance between game/realism felt perfect. Too bad you can only use the 86 for drift competitions and racing with timer alone.
>>146456689
Why is Takumi riding on a Toyota-86?
>>146458686
>Akina
There is no mount Akina in real life. You probably mean Haruna, but you are just a poser.
Proper F1 and Rally anime when?
>>146458189
Are even half of those 'sports cars'?
Regardless, they really are awful. Even American and Japanese cars look terrible now.
Why does it have to be this way?
>>146458628
Some day we will have VR and a driving simulator worthy of playing
>>146458887
....yes I'd totally just want a VR driving simulator.
>>146458839
>Why does it have to be this way?
Its not the 90s. Street racing doesnt happen anymore.
>>146458817
You want to bore people to death? Hyouka already tried and almost succeeded, don't do it.
>>146458839
Do you actually think those are the search results for "european sportscar"?
>>146459008
Oh GTR-chan.
I want you so, but it's just not practical or feasible or anything, really.
>>146458706
I wonder if he bought it after he blew up his AE86's engine in the final battle.
>>146459098
Who knows.
The time frame of the series isn't very clear, so it could be anything.
>>146459098
He couldn't just steal his dads awesome Impreza WRX?
>>146459084
gtr's are actually really practical as far as toptier sportscars of their days go

>>146457483
At some point, people decided that having sharp angles and being boxy isn't cool enough so they decided to make shit ugly cars instead.
>>146459008
My car waifu since I was like 8. I will own one some day, some variation of Skyline, at least.
>>146459084
You can DD a GTR just fine.
They've got enough space and there's no bullshit that you need to put up with like with rotaries.
>>146460154
This is my problem with modern tech design in general. Fuck Apple.
>>146459019
Rally itself isn't boring, but I admit it wouldn't really translate well into an anime because you're just driving against the clock.

Blame modern safety standards.
Cars are way bulkier because retards can't be trusted not to roll their car.
I WANNA DANCE
>>146460756
biku racing anime when
>>146460827
Even if it's bulky, it doesn't mean you have to design headlights and stuff like THAT.
>>146460982
that's mostly due to the EU's strict pedestrian safety standards. Because anything that's not a jellybean front end with giant ABS bumpers might puncture a spleen or something
>>146456689
It would probably be all girls with yuribait.
You know what could have been the perfect anime? Girls und Panzer with tank races drifting and Eurobeat.

If GT-R is too espensive you can just get an RWD Slyline (some people swap GTR engines in the too).
If Initial D was made today, what car would he even drive?
The modern day Corolla can't compare to the AE86, it's too pussified and drives like it's on rails. The GT86 is way too sporty and wouldn't have that David vs Goliath feel they portrayed in the show, it fits in with the other drift cars, even if it's """"slow""".
