Initial D
















This anime series was made for me! Last week, watched "Initial D the Movie" 2nd time in a month (this time with my bro). Even though it was in cantonese, I think they did a great job, especially for a chinese movie. Maybe I haven't seen the good ones, but my general impression of chinese movies are they're cheesy, stupid, and just plain crap, as seen on OMNI-TV. Anyway, the movie was surprisingly close to the anime series, or at least much more so than I expected. Details like the AE86 Trueno and the tofu shop are unreal... they really brought back memories of the series. My only gripe is the last race which was held with... WHAT?!... 3 cars?! That doesn't happen! But I liked how the movie ended with the main character and his girlfriend breaking up... in true Japanese fashion! And I also finally learned who this J-chow guy who gets girls all screaming and crazy is. Well, looks like he makes great music, but I think he's better off sticking with that instead of acting.
