Although the races itself are good, I do not understand why these exist. If I wanted to see fast cars go around, I would tune into a F1 race or a drifting competition on YouTube. But Initial D's main point is story leading up to the races. It gives the tension and purpose of the race. Nothing here to be seen. Just fast cars.
Music: I did like the music. It was good.
The animation: A lot of CG still so its okay but it shows its age.
Why you should watch it: Its an okay watch if you like cars other than that its meh.
Final Score: 4/10
Thanks!
