An American Version of Initial D with the tone of OverRev would bomb pretty hard in the US since no one cares about the Drifting scene that much. And girls with Mustangs sound like a porno. Muricans aren't that interested period. Muricans at least enjoyed the movie of 90s F1 racing made by Ron Howard but other than that, they don't like anything that relates to Japan other than the kids that watch anime. | ||

Scratch that, just make Over Rev in to an anime period! Great racing manga w/ yuri undertones... can't get better than that. [ Post made via Mobile Device ] | ||

Have you seen ESPN or any sport channel broadcast Formula Drift in the states? They even broadcast MOBA tournaments than Drifting competitions. Its the truth. | ||

And it's still less popular than any other form of professional motorsport. The only people who watch drifting regularly are the drifters, otherwise it's just hey, I'm bored and this channel has cars are doing things. Those of us who like racing, actual racing, watch things like the ALMS, SCCA, IMSA, F1, Indycar, NASCAR (Hell, I WENT to a NASCAR Xfinity series race this year), you get the idea. I could triple the length of that list if I wanted to take the time to try to remember everything that I watch. | ||

There was the Live-Action movie that's still up on Youtube but the quality was garbage. I've seen it and it was just like the Live-Action Initial D movie which was not great but it had some effort put into it. | ||

But does it really matter? It has affected our lives one way or another. And it is still popular for us as it was before... |

More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | It certainly isn't popular to me anymore. The revival starting with Filth Stage tarnished a perfect gem forever. |

Why? This is a forum. Opinions are what fuel it. Mine happens to be that the quality of the mainline anime series took a nosedive after 2006. | ||

(Everyone has their own opinion and I respect everyone's) The series didn't just show us the growth of Drifting in Japan but it even tells A VERY IMPORTANT person's biography and how he became the man he is today. Sure 5th Stage didn't satisfy everyone that watched Initial D but the series about to end anyway so it ended with a somewhat big ending along with the question of "what the D in Project D stands for". |
