You never know, Shigeno could go back and do more Initial D if he wants to, I mean look at Tohru Fujisawa, he ended his Great Teacher Onizuka manga in 2002 then after working on other projects came back to it in 2009 for a 2 year stint and again this year back in April. | ||

Solid stuff Can't wait for the upcoming movie! To conclude, a repost of Shigeno's official art:

True. This used to be a Toyota Hilux. It didn't end well for the two of them. Image size reduced, original size: unknown. Click here to view the image in its original dimension. But yeah, personally, I think episode 4 was alright - well, when I say alright, I mean slightly above mediocre but hovering below decent. Had Shigeno made a quality episode, then I would reconsider. Until then, Episode 4 couldn't come fast enough to save Initial D, not that I blame the manga ending earlier than the Anime. This post has been edited by Shirogane on Jun 22 2014, 02:03 PM | ||

Lemme just cap on this by saying that yes, this is official art. Official Shigeno artwork. Not canon Initial D artwork. A lot of people tend to crop the art from what this piece was originally from: a 2012 Toyota brochure detailing the car's heritage. It has nothing to do with Initial D outside of having Takumi in the seat. He did this for money, not as some sort of crazy foreshadowing that Takumi would actually drive one in the series. | ||||

Like an eagle! Group: SITE OWNER Posts: 8,014 Member No.: 1 Joined: Sep 15th 2002 Location: San Leandro, California | To add on Tessou's response, this was a promo effort by Toyota in February 2012 when the Toyota 86 was first introduced to the general public. Here's a picture of Tetsuya Tada (Chief Engineer of Toyota) and Shuichi Shigeno. This man is incredibly low profile, so I don't know how much Toyota paid to get him to do a piece like this. (Likely in the millions) Image size reduced, original size: 816 x 459. Click here to view the image in its original dimension. And in the same magazine... Image size reduced, original size: 800 x 600. Click here to view the image in its original dimension. It also bugs me that people just post the picture without realizing this was not canon Initial D artwork. It sort of became one of my pet peeves. |

Wow, whenever I saw that posted anywhere I assumed it was fan art, though Toyota paid him to do it (I doubt in the millions though) it's still pretty neat and explains the colour. | ||

Request Title - PM Mods Group: Members Posts: 381 Member No.: 39,054 Joined: Oct 7th 2012 Location: Modesto, CA | I only came across Initial D in like 2011-2012 so I only came across Initial D rather recently. Even though I hated 5th Stage and actually stopped watching it halfway through (did cave in and watch the FC v GTR race though) this final episode did get to me towards the end. I'm glad I came across this anime. I was never into racing or cars or Eurobeat or anything in that nature until I came across Initial D through Netflix. Although my car knowledge is still very limited (very VERY limited), Initial D still piqued my interest into that and racing to an extent. Oh yeah, came across this site and all you guys too...so there's that as well. Good bye Initial D. Even though I kinda showed up a little late to the party, I'm glad I was around to watch the show. |

I don't see anything like that. Quoting Takumi, "Racing is something I do every day. It's like washing my face."
