| Update: only 12 episodes will air judging from the official site: https://mfg-anime.com/en/news/detail.php?id=1111506 There are 17 volumes of the manga as of now. I suppose that I won't watch the anime, better read the manga then. |

| eurobeat is so back!! loved the little references to initial d. could have lived without the dude creeping on ren though but eh. |
 |
| the cars in ogata's garage are probably all initial D callbacks, he's got a S14 that's the same color as kenta's (wrong generation though), a green S13 with 4-spoke wheels like iketani's, and a blue SW20 like kogashiwa's |
| fgsfds |
| Good first episode, looks promising. It also reminded me I haven’t finished Initial D yet… |
 |
| TAKUMI IS BAAAAAACK LET S GOOOOOOO, I couldn't wait to get the adrenaline rush of this wonderful anime, initially D is the coolest anime with and about cars ever, I missed Takumi and his friends and now let's see what the new character is capable of, is he good enough to beat Takumi? |
 |
| so for anyone that has read MF do the cars get pimped out at all later on ,everyone seems to be driving stock exotics where most likely a lot of stuff been done under the hood rich kids sport is right though i did see a few evo's and one with a carbon hood so maybe there will be some tuner races this episode needed one more to get over all the creepy/romance stuff and get to the cars what we're really here for ! CARS |
 |
| Going into this I had no idea. Admittedly I am a big Shigeno-sensei fan. So I was shocked when I realized this was his source work. I sure hope she doesn't turn out to be a skank like in Initial D. I am super pumped about this anime adaptation. Looking for the manga now. haha |
| I'm glad that I was able to complete all of Initial D a few weeks back before MF Ghost started. As a car enthusiast, seeing the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini and Lotus amongst other well known sports car brands battling it out put a huge smile on my face. =D Kanata is an interesting character so far, aside from saying English words here and there whenever he speaks. Not only does he get behind the wheel of a Toyota 86, but the infamous Eurobeat song kicked in as he lined up for his MFG run towards the end of the episode, which was a pretty hype moment. As for Ren, she's pretty likeable so far. It's a bit surprising to see her working as one of the MFG gird angels in that revealing outfit as a part time job while attending high school, so it does make me wonder if her parents know about it and approve of it or not. Either way, I did enjoy her interactions with Kanata as she showed him around. So overall, this episode was pretty good, even thought the pacing felt a bit quick. A future with full on EV and hydrogen powered vehicles (as was shown with a Nissan Leaf and Toyota Mirai in some background shots) isn't far away, but this series should be a reminder of how fun and enjoyable internal combustion engine (ICE) cars are. I do look forward seeing how this series will develop. =) |
| Waited a long time to see an Initial D successor.. although a very slow start to introduce the world and characters, I am enjoying it alot. Really has the same mood I get from the old show... especially when the eurobeat kicked in.. I was super worried for a moment that we won't have any in this new show since the great music made half of initial D what it is. Super hyped for the next episode! |

| @Memore well, it may still get a season two or more if this one has considerable success. |

FULL LIST OF CARS:
1:29 Kanata Rivington from England should be driving an Aston Martin not a Toyota!
In addition to his first interactions with Japan (the chopsticks, the politeness) Kanata using モバイル at 8:14 instead of スマホ or 携帯 in the Japanese audio is true to his British side, and in the subtitles, while Saionji has ママ translated as "Mom" at 4:06, Rivington has ママ translated as "mum", which is a nice touch.
9:41 The eyecatches are back, too!
17:38 Ryosuke namedropped
No more travelling from place to place looking for drivers to challenge as with Project D. As a legal event, there's foreign manufacturers like Porsche and Ferrari funneling money and talent into MFG.
Engine on and Eurobeat time...
...and it's a damn cliffhanger, next episode, we actually see the protagonist in the race
Rather lo-fi ED
- Lamborghini Huracán
- Ferrari 488
- Porsche 991 GT3
- Porsche 718 Cayman S
- Audi R8 Coupé
- Nissan GT-R Nismo (R35)
- BMW M6 Coupé
- Alfa Romeo 4C
- Lotus Exige
- Toyota GT86
- Nissan Silvia Q's (S14)
- Nissan Silvia K's (S13)
- Toyota MR2 G-Limited (SW20)

| @Fortress_Maximus was this list published in the manga or did you recognise all of them yourself? |
| This looks like the same creator of Initial D... |

| @BigMac7 it's the list for just this episode; I'm an editor on the Initial D and MF Ghost wikis. It wasn't easy to compile it, especially the background cars that appear for like 2 seconds which I had to double-check against what fellow Discord users spotted. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |

| Solid start off for the second coming of the ghost of akina. |
 |
| This MotherF**ker Ghost better be not related to Simon Riley or else imma gonna drift this to the white pantsu of the love stuck gal Ren "Angel Number 007" Saionji HAHAHA LOLZ! 4/5. |
 |
| Kanata is such a weeaboo who discovered anime last year lmao I think I'll keep with with this show weekly. Oh yeah the obnoxious BRZ/86 fanboys are gonna go crazy seeing the MC win mismatched races XD |
| Honestly I thought this was a poor first episode, cutting it off when it finally got to the part I gave a shit about didn't help. |
| I never watche Initial D before, just know the "Dejavu meme" and well, look like I'll can watch with no problems, right? I liked this first ep but I wanna see the racer. Maybe is the first race anime I watch since Speed Racer D: Loved this ep and hope the races can be so excited. Obs: first time I see in an anime this wonderfull chocolate I used to buy at local japanese market in my town <3  |
| Slow start hopefully they will speed it up |
| Beautiful! pretty good anime for a game. This anime reminds me a lot of the old Initial D anime. They kept a lot of similarities between Initial D and this one. |
