Hey
First off I am new to these forums so I would like to say HI!

I am from Gold Coast, Australia and have been collecting Initial D DVDs which happen to be Tokyopop versions as I didnt know any better. At the moment I have the following Tokyopop Initial D DVDs in my collection

(Tokyopop Versions Only)
Initial D Volume 1: Akina's Downhill Specialist
Initial D Volume 2: Challenge: Red Suns
Initial D Volume 3: Challenge: Night Kids
Initial D Volume 4: Myogi's Downhill Technician
Initial D Volume 5: Duct Tape Death Match
Initial D Volume 6: Asphalt Angels
Initial D Volume 7: The End Of Summer
Initial D Volume 8: Battles in the Rain
Initial D Volume 9: Akina's Superstar Challenge
Initial D Volume 11: Blow-out

I am still on the look for the following which I might as well add to my collection now since I have almost all of them.

Initial D Volume 10: Team Emperor
Initial D Volume 12: Secret Weapon
Initial D Volume 13: Battle of the Souls
Initial D Volume 14: Extra Stage

Now to my understanding, the last DVD in this collection is Initial D Volume 14: Extra Stage, which has Acts 40 & 41 on it. Now what I am trying to find out is this. Once I have all 14 Tokyopop Initial D DVD's will I have every episode ever made of Initial D? or is there some I am missing? If I am missing some, is Tokyopop releasing more Initial DVD's past Initial D Volume 14: Extra Stage? or will I have to get the Jap Box set and if so what one to get that has every episode ever made.

Thanks in advance!

DR.ZOIDBERG

P.S If there are any Australians on these forums please PM

to put it this way...you're missing the OVA, a Full Length Movie and an entire season.

Initial D Third Stage (Movie)
Initial D Battle Stage (OVA)
Initial D Fourth Stage (24 episodes)

Those three are NOT licensed by Tokyopop, your only way to get them is by downloading the fansubbed ones, or purchasing the Japanese DVD's

I have the Real Life Movie is that Initial D Third Stage?? or is it different?

Can you recommend the Boxset I need so I can have every episode made please

the real life is the Live Action, apart from the anime, basically scan around Ebay for those, usually Battle Stage comes with Third Stage as a Special Bonus disc, that's how I got mine. Just check around and you're bound to find something. Tomorrow, I'll get pictures of the ones I have up, right now, it's a little late (12am here)

Thanks for that

This is what I have found on Ebay.com.au

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Initial-D-Season-1-...1QQcmdZViewItem

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Initial-D-1-4-Stage...1QQcmdZViewItem

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Initial-D-Collectio...1QQcmdZViewItem

I would like to just get the 1 Box Set that has everything ever made for Initial D on it, this possiable?

with that first box set, you'll get First Stage, Second Stage, and only part of Fourth Stage (eps 1-16), no Extra Stage, no Battle Stage, or Third Stage. But just keep checking around, I have yet to take pictures of my collection. My First, Second and Third Stage are all on 16 DVDs, my Fourth Stage is burned to CD and tkaes up 12.

I dl'd a torrent with the first stage and all the way up to 17 was in english the rest was in jap, with no subs. are the dvd's of the first stage all in english?

Sigh.

All the North American Initial D DVDs are dual language (English and Japanese - with English subs). First Stage, Second Stage, and Extra Stage are all Dual Language.

Simply put, that torrent of video was done by idiots.

Not to sound like a Narc, but buy the licensed (or the original Japanese) DVDs and avoid the issues. I've seen too many torrents of crap for Initial D floating around.

I know, thanks though because they really didn't have a whole lot of detail when I went to the site...That is pretty dumb to do that though, half eng half not.. losers. and they are usually the best fansub for having great quality. lol

wats OVA mean?

Original Video Animation I believe. Usually it's side story of the series or like an added plot that made into a movie.

oh so is the Battle Stage the one where they focus on maya and Simone (Sayuki)?

That was Extra Stage. Battle Stage was just a re-cap of all the stages from 1 ~ 3 with better quality CG.

I just have a small question that ive been pondering about for a while now, since were on the topic and all.

When will the american DVD's be released for 3rd, Battle and 4th stage?

i heard that Funimation now has the rights to Initial D or something like that. Is that why its taking so long for them to be released?

Well it has been mentioned several topics many times, so I don't see any reason for it not to be explained here as well:

There are no plans for an american release of 3rd stage, batte stage, or 4th stage. Tokyopop got the rights to First, Second, and Extra stages. Funimation has the rights to re-release Initial D or something like that with Tokyopop. This is basically new packaging and it is doubtful that the actual content will be changed. (more info on the funimation-tokyopop stuff: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/pressrelease.php?id=1730 )

It will take time for them to be released here as long as nobody cares to license them.

My Initial D Collection so far....

(Tokyopop Versions)
Initial D Volume 1: Akina's Downhill Specialist
Initial D Volume 2: Challenge: Red Suns
Initial D Volume 3: Challenge: Night Kids
Initial D Volume 4: Myogi's Downhill Technician
Initial D Volume 5: Duct Tape Death Match
Initial D Volume 6: Asphalt Angels
Initial D Volume 7: The End Of Summer
Initial D Volume 8: Battles in the Rain
Initial D Volume 9: Akina's Superstar Challenge
Initial D Volume 10: Team Emperor
Initial D Volume 11: Blow-out
Initial D Volume 12: Secret Weapon
Initial D Volume 13: Battle of the Souls
Initial D Volume 14: Extra Stage

(Japanese Versions)
Initial D - Extra Stage
Initial D - Battle Stage
Initial D - Prelude To Fourth Stage

So I am now missing, that I know of, if I am missing anything else please point this out -

Initial D - Third Stage Movie
Initial D - Fourth Stage

Thanks
DR.ZOIDBERG

Anyone correct me if I am wrong please

That looks about right. If you're a fan of the live-action, you can add that too I suppose.

Tokyopop covered first, second, and extra in their DVDs.

Has forth stage come out on original DVD not bootleg versions??
