----------------------------------------
I'm not a big fan of revisits to matches I've seen before but I do have to admit the enhanced animation as well as the OST.

*puts headphones on*

I guess the entire thing is a complication of matches rather character interaction/relationships. Oh well, I'm fine with that since I enjoy the intensity of Initial D.

Ofc, I was cheering for Takumi most of the time. Those are some insane turns btw. Dat OST. Damn I wish I can drive like that..

Amazing compilation of all the races, together with top notch Eurobeat OST just makes it all the worth watching it!

Ps: Fuck Mogi!

The secont Battle with Kyoichi felt so intense. I forgot he lost due to his fear of right turns even against Takumi too. You could see that

Interesting watching the graphics change from season 1 through 3.
Nice summary. Great music as always.
Just not as exciting as the series.
6/10 (above average)

It's a nice recap for the battles, but it could use some more context in between them. The cuts felt very abrupt and the narration was a bit lazy.

The studio really had money to waste with these futile recaps.

But I must say out of all of the battles, my favorites had be: Takumi v Wataru, Takumi v Shingo, Takumi v Mako/Sayuki, Takumi v Ryosuke, Takeshi v Keisuke are runner-up. Was the Chase between Mogi's ex and Takumi worth mentioning though. I have to say the worst was all of Kyoichi v Takumi bouts. The battle between Kenta and Takumi was forgettable.

Well, it made me a little sleepy watching it, but it was good to see the old races again. 6/10

that was kinda weird.
even though the scenes were redrawn the s1 scenes looked like s1 which i liked. only thing you miss by watching this is the ost. the songs used here blend together and are quite forgettable.
also found it weird that despite reanimating and redrawing the scenes from the movie they still kept them 16:9 even though everything else was 4:3 meaning there was black bars above and below.
they should have either done all races in 4:3 or all in 16:9
