New challengers have appeared. After the RX7, here comes Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R. Damn am a complete sucker for GT-R Skyliines. They are so awesome.

Thank you now I know what cars I saw, I only noticed the Skyline when they actually showed it, they kept talking of a R32 and I had no idea what it was.
This anime does a great job at setting the mood for the races, I'm loving it despite knowing next to nothing about cars

Really? Because I hate it.
That girl if full of so much bullshit, I really dislike her.

So far that would be one of my complains about this series. It's fun but some characters are complete shits.

Simple plot and characters to drive us to the sweet rule of cool racing and eurobeats. They aren't anything special but do their job and where they lead us is amazing. I live for those racing segments. If Initial D does anything right it's getting hype af.

The romance was cool, but I can't get past the character models, lol. Takeshi looked like he was high as balls the entire time his girl was trying to lay the mack on him, lol.

...And again, Itsuki shows his ass in front of all these good people.

I would be much more comfortable if that one dude with the bandages were Takumi's best friend instead of dickwad Itsuki. He's got an ugly personality and looks like a big lipped cucumber.

He needs to go.

I don't want to say it, but that romance has got to go... Too bad it'll probably stay.

Same here, he does look like a big lipped cucumber... I just think that Takumi needs new or more friends than him, he's so unlikeable and annoying.

It wasn't a surprise that Takumi won the race. It was a shock that he actually went on the date with Natsuke. A boys' anime with a protagonist who views the world like an actual teenager? Wonders will never cease.

Well, Takumi and his father should work on their communication, but I still found the way he told him about his victory cute. Also he seems to like Mogi, and she seems to like him. He's a really laid-back guy though, be it about cars or Mogi, but I guess that after his victory he's getting fired up! There are also two guys that are now out there for his head. And, I don't really want to repeat this in each topic, but Itsuki. Is. Annoying.

Well, that was the outcome we all were expecting, Takumi of course, without a struggle, beat him. The technique he used though, that was impressive, very impressive. Takumi somewhat enjoyed the race, I'm glad, considering his dad said he doesn't like driving. More potential rivals shown at the end, can't wait for more races! Good episode.

Takumi won! :D It was a spectacular victory.

Trip to the seaside was a success as well, everyone was happy.

Delusions of Takumi's friend were hilarious. ;D

I kept wondering what the R32 designation referred to. Then as the jet black machine roared on the road and the camera panned to the GT-R badge and it hit me... Now that was cool.

Takumi really did take it seriously at least at the end just to get that full tank he didn't even stop after finishing and didn't waste no gas based.

I really like the mix of insanely cool race scenes, with nice dialogue. It's really balanced! I also love the end where it stops on the GT-R logo. Nice episode!
