Initial D: First Stage Ratings & Reviews
- K1t5un318 May 2025How can you not like Initial D? It's got horrible art work? Yeah, true. The story is garbage? Okay, you have a point. The female characters are hoes? I could see that. It's MC is marry sue af? Yeah, okay, that all maybe true but the music, cars and real-life touge racing tactics... Just unbeatable. I love this series, even if most of it is objectively awful, because it's the right kind of awful.
- Cubane20 June 2025Yes, a 100hp Corolla can definitely beat a 300hp Skyline up a Japanese mountain. The physics are just different there.
