| not a fan of racing with cars but that maybe actually be preety good |
 |
| Is it weird that I don't understand a thing about car or street racing but still enjoy it? NANIIII? xD The music oh the music, it's just so good... It's called Technobeat Eurobeat if I'm not wrong? |

| Having all ready seen movie remakes i have to say this looks old especially the cars when racings but the eurobeat makes up for it |
 |
| So far I like what I've seen^^ Dat cliffhanger,tho. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Yeah, the cgi is hellla bad. I'll still watch it for the sake of the meme. |
| Whoever the fuck that "Itsuki" or "Izumi" guy was, I hope he gets a smaller role through the rest of the series cause he was f*cking annoying! MC's dad looks like an asshole too. Yikes, what a cast. |

| Nice start, Takumi is an interesting character. He seemed not to care about racing or cars at all, but even I was getting fired up by the end, that drift was sick. lol I loved the little twist that the one making the deliveries was Takumi all along, I guess he learned to drive like that with his father. I can't wait for that showdown with the Red Suns because I guess it's safe to assume that he's getting involved. |
 |
| Nice episode. Enjoyed watching it. Nice OP. That cliffhanger... |
 |
| I am largely in part here for the eurobeat |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Yeah, CGI didn't age very well. But mind you this is a 1998 budget anime |
| Kansei Dorifto ?! I love cars so it seems to be a great anime even if CGI is really old |
 |
| Woah, that was fun! :D Cars, eurobeat, decent art style and voice acting, original concept. I will definitely keep on watching! |
| I bet Tak thinks that he's an average driver xD |
 |
| i started this anime only cause of a challenge and i wasn't expecting much from this anime tbh, and after watching half of the epi, i still wasn't liking it that much, i didn't like the bg music when they were normally talking but then the rest of the epi happened. and the Eight-six car happned, i'm totally hooked rn ;v |
 |
| I love how Takumi had a Eight-Six all along |
 |
| This was much better than I expected. Since this anime is constantly being meme'd and the CGI looks kinda bad, I was expecting something more cheesy and boring. But characters seem to have substance and CGI looks better in motion. Music is sick as always. There seems to be usual sports anime drama so I hope it does not get too repetitive. Can't wait to see what happens next. |
 |
| Very cool episode, the eurobeat made it even better to watch |
| bro they showed real people in the ending. I repeat, they showed real people in the ending |
 |
| Holy shit this episode was fire. Whole episode was filled with excitement. Even though it's such an old anime the animation isn't terrible, there's use of CGI but it isn't distracting, everything's nice to look at. The OP, ED and OST's are really great too. Can't wait to watch more! |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |

| Not the best thing to watch right after taking Driver's Ed. We're off to a good start. |
 |
| Rewatching it cause why not ;v |
|
| That was fun to watch And bro the AE86 is a cool car and no way Takumi didn’t realize he was driving an 86 either way him driving on Mt. Akina every day probably made him unaware of the excitement of driving or racing I only just started becoming interested in cars because soon I’m about to learn how to drive and get my license but when I was alone I actually drove the car real quick just to get a better understanding and it was exciting but calm at the same time you know what I mean |
 |
| An old anime on racing cars :O The cgi is bad but also the series is pretty old so i didn't expected high quality animations the ost's are something i can easily vibe to |
| seems like fun I wish I'd watched it way earlier though |
 |
| i came. even though this is my second time watching this. i had tears of joy watching takumi race. nothing makes me this happy not even watching cgdct which i love watching so much. |

| Nearly forgot Initial D was so old it's on 4:3 watching this today feels so authentic So who is this ghost driver of the 86 surely it's not Takumi right surely Came for the AE86, Stayed for the fast burnt asphalt scent of tofu banger eurobeats in between driving. |
  |
| that was a really good first episode. eurobeat music? HELL YEAH. cgi looks kinda iffy but i've seen worse, plus it's 1998 so i'll let it slide for this show. i have high hopes for the rest of this show now. |
 |
| Nani? Kensai Driftu!? |
 |
| I lowkey don't know the timeline but cars go vroom vroom down the road. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Eep Tak is definitely on a foreshadowing game for us. And this Tak boy is definitely trying to hide more secrets than letting it known to his friends, gotta say he's quite the mysterious person. And to think he'd be lacking in car lingo of the series-contemporary time it's hilarious. such a great driver yet not knowing even freshman stuff to the expertise. Hahaha~ Tuning in for the next episode!!! |

| lol the meme is literally the first episode who would have thought? |
