As a huge Initial D and car fan I was excited when this show was announced. The trailers looked promising and there was even eurobeat! What more could you want, right? Well, except the classic 80s and 90s cars of course but that's a different topic. Anyway, when I watched MF Ghost I wasn't disappointed but also not impressed. It was not bad but not very good either. The car parts were pretty nice. "But this show is about cars, so shouldn't you be happy when the car stuff is good?". Well, unfortunately a huge part of this show is fanservice (and not the gear head type...). This goes to the point where characters are talking but all you can see is a close up shot showing only panties. This was so bad that I kept wanting to skip those scenes but I was afraid that I might be missing parts of the story if I skip those conversations. I completely fail to understand why they'd think that people who watched a multi season anime all about cars (and some unsuccessful love) would need sexual fanservice in order to be entertained.
Honestly, this show kinda grossed me out and I will probably skip fanservice scenes in the second season even if I miss some content, because I don't want to see this shit! I'm sad and frustrated that they went down this path because there could've been more cars on the screen instead of wasting screen time for something so unnecessary. But again, the rest was pretty good so I'm still giving 6/10.
