"For
many fans, a series needs to be extremely complex to
the point of sheer inexplicablity (a la Evangelion)
to be of worth to anyone...For these people, I say keep
walking, this isn't your series. However, for everyone
else (namely near 47% of Japanese television at one

"Initial
D is an action based series that revolves around the
main characters and their love of cars, with a few minor
characters thrown in to help stretch out the episodes.
This series is rather reminiscent of Speed Racer, and
is definitely aimed towards the extreme car fanatic.
As the terms that are used in the series, are most definitely
in car geekspeak, the average individual finds themselves
lost, and in some cases, not caring, that they are lost
in all the carbabble..."
