Initial D Fifth Stage Episode 9 & 10, Discussion and how to download it| Tessou | Posted: Mar 9 2013, 04:26 PM |
More NEGATIVE than a black hole  Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | Why did the MR-S lose? That's easy. For the same reason that Kai originally lost in his dad's SW20: the series is biased towards the lead character. Takumi can magically gain huge speed advantages and somehow not wreck his tired suspension by jumping the car around Irohazaka, and then somehow wins because of leaves on the road. Therefore, Kai will spin simply because Shigeno wants him to. Even if the situation doesn't feasibly make it possible. Kai could have the car parked in a garage and Shigeno could make it crash into a ravine. BECAUSE.  |

He'd still be alive and Takumi would be dead in a ditch somewhere. So in reality, while Kai lost this battle he's already won the war. Life lessons, guys. |

Shmuck Group: Members Posts: 3 Member No.: 40,754 Joined: Mar 9th 2013 Location: Update Profile | well other than the fact that kai and his mr-s lost because takumi is the lead character and he has to win, kai spun because he backed out halfway through the corner and let off the gas (according to his char after with takumi) hence causing the weight transfer and the spin at that speed around the corner. Its not really senseless... lucky for takumi yes, but these things do happen and ive witnessed on cruises how people hesitate midway after trying to follow the lead cars in front and from behind watch them happily kick their tail out by accident due to letting off throttle or trying to brake midway lol. Have to though none of the races in 5th stage apart from the 350z vs rx7 in the fog was really any good, they were all pretty crappy imo, havent watched 9&10 yet just waiting on subs so well have to see. Half the races either were not in depth enough or ended too quick/suddenly and barely showed the drivers struggle to win.. |

Takumi would have lost to the driver(God Arm/Hand), not the car(S2K). | ||

And all he had to do was put his foot back on the throttle to regain traction. It's not THAT hard. Seriously, I flog my MR around corners all the time, and all it takes to plant the tires is to give it some gas. Not exactly rocket science. This series takes midengine characteristics and heavily exaggerates their "weakness" to make for a somewhat more interesting race. The car doesn't spin out unless you're a complete idiot behind the wheel, and add too much throttle when the weight is being shifted (a natural reaction for amateur drivers). Pedal control is very easy to learn and transform into a natural reflex in those situations. Kai being somebody that obviously knows how to chuck an MR2 down a mountain, it's absurd to read that he spun the car completely just by letting off the throttle. Midengine cars do not react that way when the throttle is lifted during cornering. They can become upset if you act like a fool and goose it or slam on the brakes, but simply letting off on the throttle would not make the car lose control. It's stupid. Shigeno is making up physics, and readers are accepting it as factual. If midengine was so easily dangerous, they wouldn't make road cars with that setup. | ||

Pre-93 SW20-model MR2s.  But I know what you mean. In general, yeah, Shigeno just does whatever the hell he wants for dramatic effect. That's just how Initial D is. It's his story and he'll spin an MR if he wants to. But that's okay, I'll just use my time-travelling RR to beat him to the finish.  | ||

IDW Member Group: Members Posts: 11 Member No.: 39,700 Joined: Dec 13th 2012 Location: Update Profile | Hi All Sorry to bother you, but I am need of a little help. Feeling like a bit of a tool, but I am unable to view/copy the Direct Download links on my mac. Any ideas as to how I may go about doing so? It's not critical - I am more than happy and able to wait - naturally, however, I would prefer not to. Also, once again, thank you to all moderators etc., for all your hard work in sourcing and making available links for viewing and downloading of the episodes as made available. And, to all members, it's fantastic to see the discussions. It's great to see the enthusiasm of all toward Initial D as an anime, particularly given how long people have waited for this much overdue Fifth stage. Thanks people poindexter83 |

I believe Perry has implemented a sort of anti-leeching filter onto the files, making it so that only members who are 'contributive' to the community can actually access the direct downloads. Torrents are of course available for everyone else. | ||

Shmuck Group: Members Posts: 6 Member No.: 2,513 Joined: Aug 10th 2004 Location: Update Profile | I think that Kai did hit the brakes in the middle of the corner but you have to remember that in his head he's thinking he can't clear the corner and when people panic their instincts tell them to hit the brakes. The MRS is good but in the end the person driving it dictates how good it is. Takumi just has something wrong with him as other drivers wouldn't even think of going into the corner at his speeds. BTW Takumi was not just beaten by God hand but his ae86 was also beaten by the s2000. The 86 is good but the s2k is by far and away BETTER than the ae86 in every category (Amuse s2000, J's racing s2000, ARVOU s2000, etc) even with the race engine (just trying to get more power out of the f20c is a damned hard thing to do) |

Which is biased as hell, kinda like Top Gear's non-Stig segments. It proves nothing except a certain driver and a certain build of a certain car is better than another driver with another build of another car. There's a thing called a 'control' in scientific experimentation. It means that you need a baseline to be able to compare something accurately. A common ground, if you will. Hot Version does not, and as such is not a valid source to bring up in this context. Sorry. This post has been edited by Nomake Wan on Mar 10 2013, 12:38 AM | ||

Shmuck Group: Members Posts: 3 Member No.: 40,754 Joined: Mar 9th 2013 Location: Update Profile | in the anime it did look like he hit the brakes as you can see the red reflection (7:15 into ep5) but either way, we dont know how quick they were actually going around that corner, we dont know how the corner looks as it looks like they both drifted in then both braked and then kept accelerating sideways throughout it. Under normal circumstances if agree if you let off the gas or tapped the brakes and the rear kicked out its easy to regain if your quick enough to get back on the gas, however they were both drifting around a corner i doubt halfway through a corner if you were to shift the weight due to braking that youd be able to regain it quick enough and keep it drifting through the corner with the same speed. Thats assuming that they both really pushed the limits of that corner and went in at a very high speed but since we werent shown how quick they were going we cant really accurately deduce if it was possible for him to save the car from spinning out or not. I agree though with the fact that midengines arent as dangerous as others believe though, its different driving styles to drive fast with different cars you wouldnt be driving an FR the same way youd drive an FF or AWD for that matter i just think there isnt many affordable midengine cars for those cars to be common enough for alot of people to figure out how to drive them properly. |

With the amount of street racing magic that has taken hold of the show, it has dwindled into the best form of car porn to me. therefore I too wish these were available in HD. I like these episodes mainly because the lack of chatter in between the races and the FC is back, but in terms of the shots they use, and the structure of how the whole race went down, nothing will top the god foot race...they shouldve played back on the rocks though....at least for a few seconds. ah well | ||

For one thing, the DVDs are released in 480p. Nyaatorrents won't allow upscales for another. Unless someone has the PPV channel you're not going to see 720p/1080p. There is no blu-ray being advertised for Initial D either. The only one that ever was on BD was the live action one. | ||

fosho, I am only wondering if there happened to be a good time estimate, so I am not checking every 10 minutes when i am om the comp. I also check on my new windows phone... thats why if there was a usual like, 3 days average, i wouldnt look like a dweeb. also, no shit they will get done when they get done. I am not asking WHEN ARE SUBS COMING OUt, i was only asking what the average time is to sub this seasons episodes. get off my back mang. | ||

That sucks. Deadfish had some VERY good 720p encodes. Could barely tell it was upscaled at all. | ||
