it's gotta be 5th stage..

m.o.v.e. are again onboard to do the opening and ending themes!!

While I personally believe that the new series will be Fifth Stage, I have to at least try to play devil's advocate to your argument that m.o.v.e. doing the OP/ED means it must be Fifth Stage. Keep in mind that Extra Stage 2 had OP/ED themes done by m.o.v.e. as well. wink2.gif

However I do have to thank you for posting this, because had I not gone to double-check my memory I wouldn't have known that Extra Stage 2 got released as part of a complete DVD collection here in the US. Time for N1 to go buy some boxsets. cool.gif

I'm so glad to see this forum in Korea. Wow, fantastic. I imagined that if Kanagawa battles are come out in animation, it'll be great. And now, I have a little question about the story of new Initial D Animation. w00t2.gif w00t2.gif w00t2.gif

Would it be a good idea to try to see if we can try to drum up a little interest in getting the series licensed here? I definitely bought all the collections when Funi rescued and licensed 3rd/4th Stage and I got one of my friends to watch it on Netflix (if streaming can actually count)

Thanks, but I used to have an SN on here but I wanted a new name lol

and I meant no offense to the forum or the community I just made an observation from my years of visiting this forum, when there's ID episodes coming out it's way more active.

Any ideas on whether it will show on regular TV in Japan or PPV? Let's hope it doesn't just end up on DVD or Blu-Ray before even airing once

It was already confirmed via magazine scan that the new series would be airing on Animax PPV in November.

Did everyone miss this post? He's correct, new series starts in November according to the new Magazine scan. My source says it's on Sky Perfect TV PPV though. [maybe different region] Thanks Nomake Wan happy.gif
Also correctly guessed m.o.v.e will be doing the theme song[s]

What source do you have? Because my source--the magazine scan itself featured here--says clearly Animax PPV. (アニマックスPPV) wink2.gif

You're quite welcome, though. The confusion is likely because there are now mutliple threads on this topic. This one and the official announcement in the Announcements Forum HERE.

I guess by "they" you mean "Tokyopop", who lost the rights to Initial D ages ago. Or maybe you meant something else. . .

Well, if Animax-Asia (not the same thing as Animax) ends up getting the rights to air Fifth Stage, then I guess it's likely to get a bad English dub or a bad Tagalog dub or maybe both. I remember their First Stage dub being pretty bad and their Second Stage dub being so-so.
They've aired decent-dubs at times though, so maybe Initial D would get lucky this time.
Funimation could also end up getting it, but I don't think their dubbing counts as bad.
(Not that I've watched their dub. . . . Well, except for a dubbed clip they posted up and a dubbed clip of the 86 VS Impreza race. Liked the former, didn't like the latter.
That's all I'll get to see of the dub at this point, but it's clearly miles ahead of the TP dub anyway)

Well, to give a short answer to your question:
American release: Extremely likely to not have a screwed up dub.
Singaporean/any-other-place-that-gets-Animax-Asia broadcast: 50/50 chance
