Synopsis

Takumi Fujiwara finally joins Ryousuke and Keisuke Takahashi to create "Project D." Their goal is twofold: Ryousuke wants to develop his "High-Speed Street Racing Theory," while Keisuke and Takumi aim at improving their driving skills by facing powerful opponents on dangerous roads. The idea of Project D is to challenge street racing teams from other prefectures to improve both their uphill and downhill records. In order to attract the attention of the best racing teams, Ryousuke creates a dedicated website to announce the future battles of Project D and post the team's results.

The fourth season of Initial D details the hardships and successes of the members of Project D as they try to become the best street racing team outside of Gunma Prefecture.

Seemingly after a poor Stage 3, they threw every conceivable race that could in this 24 episode, adrenaline fueled Stage 4. Thank goodness they did too are Stage 3 really could have set the series up to plummet into the depths of garbage.

There are many things to like here. 2 things in particular have become consistent points of quality; The music and the driving animation. There isn't really much more I can say about these elements to be honest. Music fits perfectly to the absolutely perfectly animated driving. Every single race, these elements shine, providing the viewer with everything you could possibly ...

Initial D Forth Stage marks a new low of the series with bad and random characters as well as uninteresting, dull and repetitive races.

I might be the only one when I say that but when looking back at the first three seasons I always felt like that the mountain passes and races had some sort of identity, something that made them special, unique and therefore entertaining to watch.

This season was a really downfall.

You could predict what was about to happen to the arc from the beggning of the first episode.
The suprise element from the previous seasons wasn't there anymore, and this one became just a bunch of repetive cliches. They could have changed something in the last arc, but decided to stick to the same development from beggning of the season. The last race result was pathetic beyond limit.

For an instance: the "top" points of the season was the romances developments. I laughted and got angry more in those occasions that the races.

I still have to watch the last season, but ...

Nothing gets the blood pumping like a high-intensity race, be it in a car, bike, or even mecha suit. Youthful passion and energy fuel these shows about drivers, pilots and athletes all striving for that #1 spot. As Ricky Bobby once famously said, "If you ain't first, you're last".
