The pacing of this anime is absolutely godawful. The racing is enjoyable but literally nothing happened last episode. I don't feel any connection or interest toward the robotic MC. Takumi and Itsuki were more likeable 6 minutes into the first episode of initial D. The music is underused and sounds like a ps2 game soundtrack in a lot of places. More Eurobeat, please. The director doesn't know how to build hype. I'm not going to drop the anime because it's not awful, but I've lost the faith.

This episode straight up gave me chills, the overtaking just before the death zone and then the driving at full throttle in the mist, counting down just before he finds the next driver in the mist and overtaking them. This is exactly the kind of episode i've been longing for and it makes me ever more invested in the story.

thats the best episode yet

kanata overtaking 4 cars lol and now he is 9th place

he clearly has photographic memory so he might be a better driver than takumi fujiwara already
@deg
exactly what i wanted to express! best episode so far.
I was just missing Deemo - The Spirit of The Night soundtrack (was used at the end of ep07, and in recap they changed it).

btw, the last one here is so KAWAII xD

That "warp to the side" looked stupider than Star Trek Discovery.

Talked about goose bumps AGAIN. lol

Half way MF Ghosto and nothing much happened.

The camera pans and zooms are nauseating, making it to look like the 86 has more speed than it does.

I'm guessing he's a Finn... "WHAT? CRAJY BOY!" :D

Yeah, wild strategy huh? Giving Katagiri data of how close he is to other cars means that he can tell how close he is to other cars. WHOW! Mind blown! lmao. I guess if he's within one second of another car he's kind of close... that's big brained stuff right there, rocket science.

The countdown (twice now) until the Eurobeat is absolutely stupid, it's like they're putting it in there for the sake of it during every single BORING overtake. Can't you like save it for when it actually matters? Can't you give us a proper Eurobeat drop?

Is #8 Jackson or Taylor??

Yes, it's enough to give you chills, you might say it's enough to give you... goose bumps. :/

MFG racers "reputation", what are you talking about? They're kids, gentlemen racers, enthusiastic amateurs or the wealthy. They don't have a reputation for driving excellence, please calm down with that fake news.

Yes, Katagiri actually studied the track before racing on it, revolutionary! I'm sat here just shaking my head right now. Literally. He has a brain and can remember things... This is so dumb.

Hype job for real! After the race he'll probably cup his balls as he receives a kiss from number seven.

Geez, end of episode.

Ok now it's going, and it's going good. Holyyy (perhaps a bit of a too long buildup tho. Could have reached this point an episode or two ago)
@luigipunk25 THE Luigipunk is here? Keep it up with the great Eurobeat remixes!

crazy, this episode is awesome
It gave me goosebumps and tension at the same time.
I'll even want more of this in the future, how he'll fight the tough riders in front of him. hahahaha

This episode probably gave me the most adrenaline so far, especially with Kanata's overtaking scenes of the Alfa, Lotus, and even a Porsche. And I must say, even though I'm not well versed in the genre of eurobeat, the two songs chosen for this episode greatly captured the intensity of the racing scenes—I don't think I'd have it any other way. But as for racing content, I think we were all well aware that Kanata was going to at least ace the foggy Section 3 of the course, but how many points he was gonna rack up was anyone's guess up until this point, and the thrill just kept on building with every overtake.

Next episode's title, "The 300kph Dog Fight," has me intrigued, as we seem to be focusing slightly more on the Ferrari-Nissan-Audi trio and their neck-and-neck fight on Section 4 of the course and the Kamaboko Straight. Of course, the episode will continue to tap into the 86-Porsche matchup, but as we've learned during qualifying, the 86's Achilles' heel is on power and straight-line speed—wonder how Kanata will deal with that.

The "warp" was goofy, felt right out of a shounen.

Kanata having the track perfectly memorized to the point where he's full throttling in dense fog is also ridiculous. I just can't get over the fact that he caught up and overtook a goddamn Porsche in a stock GR86. With how occupied he was with the Alfa Romeo and Lotus (to the point where it wasn't until the second lap that he overtook them) the drivers ahead of them should've been able to have increased their gap by a good amount, especially on the straights.

Unless they're just that awful of a driver even in their superior vehicles. Who knows though since we never even got a glimpse of their driving before until the author decided to use them as props for Kanata to overtake. Just some random, forgettable cannon fodder who's only use was to make the MC look good.

Ayo, that last overtake in the fog, in the middle of the city, looked great. :D

I think that this race is going to be over either in the next episode or in ep. 10. At least the next episode should be the beginning of its climax, judging by the preview.

Now that's what I'm talking about! In the death zone where the visibility was close to zero, blanketed by thick fogs hovering over the tight streets with many corners, many eased up their offence and attempted to go through this area carefully. And then comes the silent assassin, Kanata with his GT86, overtaking cars one by one as he burst out of the fogs that masked his approach.

Whilst the others focused on maintaining their position, Kanata alone used this dangerous area to his advantage. With calm and composed behaviour and a calculating brain, he cleaves through the corners and eats up any cars in front of him. Be well aware of his supreme skills!

Especially that sidestepping warp to the right, that's reminiscence of Takumi's driving on top of hiding yourself in the darkness of the night. In this case, the cover is the fog.

I'm guessing that guy at the end there was Keisuke and not Ryosuke. Must the show always bluball their audience by teasing Initial D characters in such a way? lol
