Like an eagle! Group: SITE OWNER Posts: 8,014 Member No.: 1 Joined: Sep 15th 2002 Location: San Leandro, California | Ladies and gentlemen, after more than six years of wait, Kodansha's Young Magazine has announced that a new anime series adaptation of Shuuichi Shigeno's Initial D - car-racing manga has been confirmed. Though, the format of the new anime series has not been revealed yet. It could be in the form of television anime, original video anime or some other format. We don't have those details yet. We will have to wait 'til August 6 when they release more details regarding this new anime series. As a die hard Initial D fans, this is possibly the most exciting Initial D news since the announcement of Fourth Stage back in late 2003. (Source: Comic Natalie - http://natalie.mu/comic/news/73769) Update (8/2/12): - m.o.v.e. will perform the opening and ending themes. - series will air in November on Animax PPV.

Perry my good sir, you have just made my day. No. You've done more than that. You've made my week. No! Even better. You've made my summer! Hopefully as word gets gets out, we'll have people coming from all over the place to check IDW out! From now on, I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat!

Were you expecting something else? Group: Advanced Members Posts: 3,921 Member No.: 20,929 Joined: Oct 14th 2006 Location: Some place in South-East Asia | What a start to my morning this was. So what do you think this is going to be? A remake? Or a short, new stage covering most of the new races (assuming Takumi VS Shinji doesn't end by the time the other races get full adaptations)? I'd be fine with either as long as it's done well. I wonder what the art, animation and 3DCG's gonna look like this time around. That's something that's changed every stage so far. Everything else is likely to be decent (Well, except for some of the recent races. But those might be more enjoyable in animated form). I'm looking forward to this for now, anyway. Also, considering the Eight-Six had its suspension repaired at the end of Fourth Stage, they're going to have change a few details if they want to keep the Project-D-impersonators plot working and introduce Mika. Might be interesting to see how they pull it off. Are Ryousuke and Rin going to talk telepathically in this one too? |

Wow, that was quick! Glad to see an old member back. But why do you say 8 years? Fourth Stage ended in 2006. Plus we had Extra Stage 2 in 2008. | ||

Nagao Fanboy Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,068 Member No.: 36,182 Joined: Aug 27th 2010 Location: The Internet, DUH | Hoping it would be Fifth Stage rather than another OVA or a remake. But regardless something is better than nothing. I wonder whether the upcoming IDAS7XX's timing was to coincide with this new anime as well? Didnt feel like it was that long since IDAS6AA was released. This post has been edited by SonicSP on Jul 30 2012, 11:54 AM |

It coincides with the recent Initial D High Def airing in Japan coming to a close soon. That and the announcement date being 8-6... I wonder if they truly meant for that to happen, or if it's just a goddamned amazing coincidence. | ||

I only have First and Second Stage on DVD with me. I'm getting Third and Fourth Stage probably at the end of summer. I really need to marathon through the series again myself. |

Professional Amateur Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 10,568 Member No.: 30,882 Joined: Oct 16th 2008 Location: Laniakea | If you're gonna do a re-watching of the series, at least do it with me. I'll try my best. Otherwise, a group viewing on the video server would be good... but we'd have to do it every night in order to have the whole series watched in time for this new thing's airing (depending on when they plan to start airing it, of course,) |
