From the little flyer that came with the Vol.48 manga book, Initial D Final Stage has been confirmed to be on sale in Spring 2014. That's most likely March 2014. It appears Final Stage will NOT get a PPV release like Fifth Stage did with Animax / Perfect Choice. There is no mention of Pay-Per-View anywhere on the flyer. It will probably be a DVD release at this point. Or maybe avex will just be very generous and broadcast the mini series for free on TV. I know, I know. One can dream though, right? (laugh) Ultimate Guidebook: Initial D Chronicle is slated for release early 2014, most likely around February. It is confirmed to be in production currently. We don't know what this chronicle is about yet. We are guessing it's some sort of 頭文字D聖地巡礼 (Seichi Junrei, also known as pilgrimage) Maybe it's a book showing real life locations depicted in Initial D. From a commercial stand point, that is very profitable. Imagine those places shown in Initial D will be very popular when they make the locations public and all the Initial D fans can visit them in the future. As previously mentioned, Initial D Premium Blu-ray BOX is available for pre-ordering now on Amazon Japan. There are two volumes total. Vol.1 will get a 2014.2.28 release and Vol.2 will get a 2014.3.28 release. This Premium Blu-ray BOX set captures Initial D in its glorious 18 years. Premium Blu-ray BOX Vol.1 contains First Stage (Re-mastered), Second Stage (Re-mastered), Radio Stage Part 1, Extra-Drama CD Vol. 1 & 2, a Special Manual Book, and some special original Initial D goodies, all stored inside a luxury box. Premium Blu-ray BOX Vol.2 contains Third Stage The Movie (Re-mastered), Fourth Stage (Re-mastered), Extra Stage 1 & 2 (Re-mastered), Battle Stage 1 & 2 (Re-mastered), Prelude to Project D, Radio Stage Part 2, Extra-Drama CD Vol. 3 & 4, a Special Manual Book, and some original Initial D goodies, all stored inside a luxury box. | Pre-Order Links | » Initial D Final Volume 48 Manga — http://cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=NEOBK-1570928 — http://amazon.co.jp/dp/4063823776 » Initial D Premium Blu-ray BOX Pit.1 — http://amazon.co.jp/dp/B00G93OE5Y » Initial D Premium Blu-ray BOX Pit.2 — http://amazon.co.jp/dp/B00G93OE2W Image size reduced, original size: 1056 x 1111.
