That's the release date for the The Trilogy Movie Part 1, not Final Stage. There is no confirmed release date for Final Stage other than "Spring 2014." | ||

I haven't read past 5th stage but I hope they don't miss out on such interesting (but not nessesary) points like that. |

One of the more interesting points being a race between Takumi and Keisuke. Well of course there is going to be one , Project D IS about them after all .. and well if you wana know whats going to happen......

Click here to view the image in its original dimension. Animax announced on March 1st that Initial D Final Stage will be available starting on May 16th, 2014 on its new subscription VOD (Video On Demand) service which allows subscribers to watch all the latest anime series. Initial D Final Stage will start right after where Fifth Stage left off. There are a total of four episodes that makes up this mini stage. Opening and Ending theme had also been announced. To our surprise, they are using two of m.o.v.e's unreleased tracks. The OP will be Outsoar The Rainbow and the ED will be Days. The OP also happens to be the same theme song they use for Initial D Arcade Stage 8 Infinity. For those of you that follows the forums, you'll know that m.o.v.e disbanded as of March 2013. Initial D just isn't the same without m.o.v.e. Maybe the producer also thinks the same way, hence the songs choice. INITIAL D FINAL STAGE Trailer: Not Available Yet.

Are they going to go back and re-introduce the lead up to Takumi and Shinji? Or will they add more content after their race? It's unlikely that the race will take 4 episodes alone. |

4 episodes of the usual 20-23 min results a total of 80-88 min which is the standard OVA so don't understand why they split it in 4 eps instead of just 1 OVA This post has been edited by mike962 on Mar 4 2014, 03:08 PM | ||

1988 Toyota MR2 AW11, My Go-Kart AE86 Group: Advanced Members Posts: 559 Member No.: 38,745 Joined: Jul 2nd 2012 Location: Huizen, The Netherlands | More natural than Takumi? So he must have drove that car and his touge even more than Takumi drove Akina. I got some more shocking things to reveal. In the soundtrack list of Initial D Fifth Stage, you have the car sounds of almost all cars of Fifth Stage. Then, the second last Boost Sound is this one: AE86 Sound I think it's Shinji's AE86, because there aren't any other 4AGE in Fifth Stage with the standard sound. But what scares me, is that when you hear the engine revving: after that he takes off. Assume he goes full throttle, it takes about 9 seconds before the speed chime rings = 0-100 km/h (0-62.14mp/h)!! So that means that the engine should be around 130-140 HP! Okay, I know that this only counts for the car it was recorded with. Still, shouldn't they have used a faster sounding car, or was 140HP enough? This post has been edited by Vortrex on Mar 26 2014, 08:54 AM |

I think Central-Anime would sub Final Stage. Let me ask Heibi and see what he says. | ||

IDW God Member Group: Members Posts: 179 Member No.: 3,858 Joined: Oct 23rd 2004 Location: Update Profile | Have to disagree with some of you guys. When I first watched 5th stage piece by piece, I 'initially' (pun intended) thought it was crap and like many felt the quality had fallen. However, I watched the marvelous Blue-ray versions in one sitting and was blow away by it. It's translated better. The picture and sound quality is very good. Some of the character animations do falter, but unless its a Madhouse production, most serial anime tends to be like this. The subtlety of the 3D cars is spot on. Which brings me to the Shinigami race. It's easily in my top three Initial D races and solidifies Ryosuke as a bad ass. It's edited dramatically. The sound design and soundtrack made it a spectacle, even though I knew how it was going to turn out. There was not that much character development in the 5th stage manga to begin with, so I didn't expect much in the anime. I suggest a re-watch using the Blue-ray version and see how well it plays out vs. the forced two episodes a month thing. This post has been edited by HardcoreEP on Apr 19 2014, 10:37 PM |
