HG Blows Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 (edited) Dont know if this old news, but ann says Initial D 4th stage is coming out soon. Cell shaded CG too. Good times.

Commander McBride Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 It's been known for quite a while in the ID fan community. It's due this spring, and reports say everything is on schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowlightman Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 There'll no doubt be a 5th stage too, they still have a lot to cover from the manga... and it's still ongoing. I got tired of Initial D this summer... too little story, too much incorrect info... overrated a bit, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 No kidding, Initial D IS very overrated. The CG is pretty shabby even for the year it was released. The character design (while of course limited by how the manga looked) were animated really flatly and look unremarkable. Even worse, they manage to deflate what action and momentum they build coming up to any of the racing scenes by constantly switching to a couple of deadpan characters talking about race strategies and etc in the most boring manner possible. I'm an auto fanatic and even then I was barely kept awake. And I didn't make that judgement until after having seen First, Second, and Third Stages. Takumi is the most boring anime character in all of history. He talks as if he's on Prozac all the time, while his sidekick Itsuki talks like he's on speed all the time. Mogi has no depth as do the majority of the characters, and its hard to care anything about Takumi and Mogi's relationship when they hardly go beyond small talk with each other. If they continue with this series, they better make some major changes. The only thing supporting the popularity of this anime is the lack of any other series that remotely touch on the Japanese drift scene and the recent growing interest for this scene in America.
