Unfortuntely this was a modern AE111 version (2000) with front wheel drive. My first car in 2005 was Toyota Corolla Levin/Sprinter Trueno. Larger wheels need rework of body for larger arches and complex steering system to save front arches from hypersizing. You can see how it performs in my Buwizz Prototype 2 video year ago.Īnd one more body using large 43 mm wheels instead 37 to reach faster speed with.2x RC buggy motors. And I planned this model fast from the start. To say the truth, model was built for my son, because he can't handle Buggy motor powered models. And LEGO Belville male doll take driver's position.
just for fun with little a hope of small boost in performance. I joined black down and white top + added Trueno and Initial D stickers. Model is decorated by self made stickers. Car can also work with IR receiver with the same performance. Funimation has uploaded all of it, so there's really no excuse to not at least check it out.Scale is small, so it does not look realistic in terms of proportions and forms - too squared.Īs I said, it is driven by one L motor with gearing: 36-12 and then 14-14 with old style differential. But in the meantime, if you want to check out this show, you can seriously go ahead and watch all of First Stage on YouTube. I honestly hope it gets some sort of revival, be it in a spiritual sequel or a remake with better animation. That's what I did, and I fuckin loved my time with this show.īut seriously, what an amazing show this was.
It's my favorite anime soundtrack of all-time, and it's perfectly valid to watch for the music and stay for the cool cars. Honestly, the sheer effort and quality put into this show's soundtrack is amazing.
and their excellent work on series' openings and closings (Outsoar the Rainbow, Rage your Dream, Gamble Rumble, Dogfight, and Blazing Beat are my personal favorite pieces). (an underrated mix if you want to check out the origin of Eurobeat)Īnd it wasn't just Eurobeat music that made Initial D's soundtrack amazing, it was also thanks in part to the band M.O.V.E. Takumi Fujiwara delivering tofu in his Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno GT Apex.Initial D (Japanese: D, Hepburn: Inisharu D) is a Japanese street rac. The amount of excellent Eurobeat tracks in Initial D is immense, and there are many multi-hour megamixes for you to check out if you want more hype Eurobeat goodness: If you've heard the songs Running in the 90's, Deja Vu, or Gas Gas Gas through other videos such as meme compilations, this is the show that made those songs famous, and boy there's more where that came from. Without a doubt, the aspect about that show that almost renders the manga IRRELEVANT is this show's phenomenal soundtrack, which primarily consists of tracks from a genre of music called Eurobeat (essentially, it's fast-paced techno dance music written by Italians, sung in English for the Japanese market) that was very popular in Japan in the 90s. However, it feels like I've neglected something, but I can't quite figure out what it is. Of course, the show's racing scenes are certainly the highlight and can really include some crazy moments (and if you ONLY care about racing, there is Battle Stage, which ONLY includes the racing).

Of course, as the series went on, the CG and animation quality as a whole would improve as well (If you want to find the pinnacle of animation for the series, look no further than the Third Stage Movie). Sure, the CG in the early episodes looks EXTREMELY dated for today, but this kind of approach was really the only way to convey the fluent movement of the cars. The series would go on to gain a bit of a cult following among both anime fans and car enthusiasts alike and was many's first foray into the world of illegal Japanese street racing and would inspire others to become more invested in car culture in general (this was certainly the case for me). 0:00 / 4:24 Initial D - Deja Vu (Remastered 2017) Super Eurobeat HD 3.87K subscribers Subscribe 27K 2M views 5 years ago Unofficial remastered version.
