Response to Initial D Ending| THE_HONDA_CG2 | Posted: May 3 2013, 08:31 PM |
Patient Zero  Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,279 Member No.: 37,947 Joined: Oct 1st 2011 Location: Update Profile | I think all things must come to an end eventually. I mean, I got into Initial D a few years back too. It doesn't matter when you get into an anime series. There will always be fans! You just have to look.  |

Fifth Stage did seem like a rushed stage compared to Fourth Stage. Coming from a fan who haven't read the manga since volume 33 has been released. It all just looked and felt as if it were a lengthy Battle Stage. That aside I'm glad that we got a new Stage after almost 7 years. Even though it wasn't as good as it could have been. As with everything, nothing last forever. And maybe who knows, we might get a surprise later on in the future. |

If it continues, we may have the endings in our minds be it, Takumi vs Keisuke, Bunta vs Takumi or Takumi vs Ryosuke etc and after that maybe a new stage featuring Bunta's earlier days... Im not sure. All that matters is that we should be happy and move on regardless of the outcome, End or Continue. If it ends, when you grow up one day and you have children, you can show them the series once again and tell the story of how you may always listen to eurobeat while walking to work or school or modifying your cars to look like the ones in the series (if I have the chance, I want an FC like Ryosuke), for us to reminisce about it. This small little things will always make us remember about Initial D wherever we may be. Yes, we may be sad and tear up if it ends, but we will never forget that fateful day as we first watched Initial D till the last episode. I finally have my closure and I am prepared for the outcome, for Initial D and m.o.v.e will forever be in my heart....  This post has been edited by nasaeepandai59 on May 4 2013, 05:33 AM |

Well said! *Music in car playing* Kid 1: Dad, what's that song? I never heard of it before. Me: That, my son, is Eurobeat. Back when I was young I love Initial D and the Eurobeat songs featured. Of course, the car you're sitting in right now is also a car driven by a main character in Initial D. Kid 2: Cool! Me: That's not all. I used to go to the arcades after school to play its arcade racing game. There were a total of 7 versions. I can't believe I burned a lot of money for those, hehehe... I wish I can really say this  Problem is, will I get a girlfriend? | ||

Last time I checked, Fifth Stage isn't a manga.

This ain't the Simpsons. But yeah, I wouldnt mind Initial D ending but they could come out with some side stories and spin offs perhaps. Or maybe a brand new series altogether but with the same concepts of Initial D. |

well it is bitter sweet, 1. This is one of the series that I really loved since early 2000 2. I am a momma's boy and I am sad that Takumi's mother was never tackled in the series. 3. I am wondering on how Takumi and Keisuke would do in the Racing world of the Pro's it is sweet because I can now focus on new hobbies. | ||
