Is this worth watching if you're not a weeb?

>4chan.org
the fuck are you doing here if you're not

>>16160987
Watch a few episodes and make your own decision faggot.
How the fuck do we know what you enjoy?

First Stage is pretty much required /o/-core, after that it gets more and more "dagumi wins because dagumi"

>>16160991
This stopped being a weeb site long ago.

>>16160987
It's a part of the /o/ common culture. It's up to you.

Just watch the 3 Initial D: Legend movies. It's the first stage redone in movie format. There's no Eurobeat but the pace and the animation is better.

>>16161093
>no eurobeat
Don't listen to this faggot you'd miss out on half the fun

You can't browse /o/ if you haven't watched it

>>16160987
1st season is ok 2nd and 3rd are meh... Right now I'm watching 4th. It has the most awkward social interactions ever but euro beat is still good

>>16161093
Don't watch Legend. Watch the battle stages instead.

What are some other /o/-required media that one should watch? I'm bored and want to watch cars burn rubber.

>>16160987

>>16161312
The FnF movies when they were still about racing and cars instead of heists, Wangan Midnight, Drive.

>>16161312

Stop after third stage. Everything after that is just disappointment and wasted potential.

>>16161093
>>16161124
There's an anon adding eurobeat. Can't remember if he's done with the third movie or not.

Up to the fourth film. The fourth film had cool cars and some pretty nifty chase scenes/races. After that the series dropped the street racing aspect and became full on action films. Also Chrysler promotion became a bit rampant.

>>16160987
First Stage is worth watching for a good coming of age story. The other stages have little of the same animation charm and become progressively duller in terms of story.

>>16161093
The j-rock in Legend sucks because you can't tell the songs apart like, at all. Eurobeat is fantastic and all but the fun in spamming the lyrics is being able to immediately connect them to the scenes.

Yuck. Ruins the music choreography of most races. Especially shingo. You need heartbeat and the ED song for the respective spin outs.

From what I gather its a cartoon about a corolla owner named dagumu whom races pizza delivery drivers down hills.

>>16162816
Better than Legend.

>>16162973
Even the eurobeat edit cant fix Legends.

Some parts just have inferior choreography. Things like inertia drift, turning into the gutter, or the spinouts are rushed theough with no dramatic pauses
Feels so unsatisfying.

1st stage has awful cg and quality but the choreography just makes it so classic despite all that

>>16161312
Drive

>>16163000
Nice digits.

I'm working on a better eurobeat edit of Legend by cancelling the j-rock out, because the original anon just pasted audio on the video file and you can hear it underneath.

>>16162899
Welcome friend

>>16161312
Smokey and the Bandit
Both Cannonball Runs
Le Mans
Bullitt, but only for the chase scenes
Ronin

All these are top tier /o/ kino

>>16163036
how can improved music mixing improve it thought if the content itself is not as exciting

A cut of the actual races in the original would be a better effort. Basically battle stage but better timing on thr music

>>16163683
It's something, I guess. Better than nothing and I just feel like it.

>>16162816
battle stage has some good shot-to-shot pacing, but you're right that making it nothing but racing ruins the larger pacing.

it's amazing and sad how much the filmmaking and cinematography took a dive after first stage

Any anon here has the link to the first 2 Legends movies with eurobeat?

>>16160987
first stage is the pure concentrated essence of 90s anime
second stage is them throwing their budget around
third stage put me to sleep and I gave up on it

Do they have English dubs for all of it?

>>16165766
no, watch it subbed, faggot

>>16161312
>>16163229
If you do Bullitt, add French Connection and Seven Ups as well - the D'Antoni trilogy.

>>16165766
Believe me, the dub is fucking TERRIBLE. Just watch the subtitled version.

>>16163229
Two Lane Blacktop as well.

>>16165798
Dropped.

Speak American or no watch.

>>16168024
the dub voicing fucks with the characters
itsuki sounds nothing like he should in the dub

the flow is much nicer with the sub. i watched the first stage again dubbed after watching the sub. It's not worth it

>>16161093
>>16161124
There are versions of the Legend movies that have fan-added eurobeat to replace the shitty j-pop. I don't remember if they were on youtube or for download but they were so much better.

>>16160987
I know a French dude who hates anime and knows nothing of cars, but owns most of initial D's music on disk. for that reason, watch it for the music

>>16160987
Yes.
It's not a traditional anime where teenage boys hjave a loli harem and must destroy the big end world endingboss with friendship and love

It's actually pretty grounded. Only anime trope it falls into is explaining everything verbally and spoonfeeding, which I guess is an requirement in japan sicne weebs are the most retarded people on earth.

Other than that it is pretty solid and fun. Music is great, some action scenes are great, some lvoe scenes are comedic.

If you can't stomach first stages style, watch the 3 movies. They're a bit less cool than anime but might be enough to make you want the series.

the funimation dub is fucking fine

>>16161124
No one sleep in tokyo!

I hate (most) anime series but thought it was pretty alright.

It's almost /m/ material, think Gundam with cars, less Dragon Ball or K-On.

The Funimation dub is good, all others are bad.

Funimation dub also doesn't get you to the end of the series, you have to watch Fifth and Final stage with japanese jibber jabber and yellow talkin' words on the screen, no matter what.

I'm getting my driver's license because I watched it. Today was my second lesson in town (outside of a school's grounds) and a part of the course was like a thin twisty road, it was actually super fun.

actually beginning to listen to my weeaboo friend

>>16162665
He fell for the "anime-is-shit"-meme

When I came to /o/ I didn't give a fuck about anime and only liked muscle cars. Now, 4 1/2 seasons of Initial D and 4 RWD Toyotas later, I won't shut the fuck up about moeshit. It's a gateway drug.

Did anyone play the game? How much did you spend?

first stage is good the rest not so much because it's always the same
