| Hey guys, just wondering, anybody know if this is an official release or a bootleg? Like if i buy it, does the money go to Initial D, or is this some fake dvd release that is not official and no money goes to Initial D. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/DVD-Anime-INITIAL-D-COMPLETE-STAGE-5-6-VOL-1-18-END-SEALED-/271997792230?hash=item3f5454efe6 |

| Well, first off, it's fake. And second, nothing you buy on Ebay will give money to the creator unless they're selling it themselves. |

| Well, obviously they're just renaming "Final Stage". Still funny though. The English on the back is surprisingly not horrible, but I like how the synopsis for Fifth Stage is really just a synopsis for the first episode. |

| To be fair, that's where the series goes downhill. (Pun not intended) So basically, they're giving you a synopsis of the best part of the two seasons. |

| I don't think there was ever an official release of anything that is past Fourth Stage in regions outside of Japan. Yes? |

| The big obvious hint that its not an official release is the fact it has Malay subs in addition to the weird episode count. |

We're waiting for Funi to wake up next month, when a popular podcast's gonna snap their proverbial fingers in front of Fuku'sugardaddy'naga's face.  |

I have no idea what that means but I will take it as a "No, they are not going to release it." [ Post made via Mobile Device ] |

No yet Honda san, but a certain podcast has the magical ability of making licensors, release shows after they review it. Be it a good or a bad review; US anime companies value their opinion, and tend to release anime they've reviewed. That review is in October. Short answer: We're waiting for Funimation to release it. |

| God's gonna die before Funimation cracks a yawn. Fifth Stage's probably gonna be released sometime circa Revelation: 6  |

I'd ask why anyone cares about buying localizations but in this case I look at the PIT BOX prices and... :8-y |
