Based on a popular manga by Shuichi Shigeno, INITIAL D is a high-octane anime series about the world of downhill mountain racing. Takumi Fujiwara is an average high-school student who has honed his driving skills while making late-night deliveries for his father's tofu restaurant. When he has an inadvertent run-in with one of the area's top racers, Takumi finds himself thrust into the world of mountain racing and is soon duking it out for top honors in a series of daredevil downhill races. Thrilling and adrenaline-fueled, the anime is presented in its entirety with this collection of episodes. [More]

The racing scenes are well done; unfortunately, they're too often interrupted by a cliché-filled story about one-note characters.

Based on a popular Japanese comic-book series, Initial D is a slick but silly affair unlikely to appeal to anyone over the age of 15.

Alas, the story keeps interrupting with gobs of expectorated exposition, paving the way for the inevitable sequels to come.

For a different ride, Initial D drives a sleek and smooth line.
