The story continues focusing on the relationship between Iketani, driver of the Nissan S13 from Akina Speed Stars, and Mako, female driver of the blue Sil80.The characters can still relate and a quick recap of the role of each character brings everything back into perspective. However, this means that new viewers who did not follow the original Initial D series would probably feel left out watching this episode.
Somehow this episode still has the racer feel of the original series, even if there wasn’t much of a race. There’s a certain aura around it. :p
As usual, the characters are super plain, satisfying the minimum requirement of having 2 eyes, a nose, a mouth and 2 ears. Way way below standards of today’s animes. But if it was ever changed, it wouldn’t feel like an Initial D anime anymore. Lol! One thing though, I feel that the characters voice sound different for this anime.
Cars still look nice as ever, realistic and detailed. Sweet sweet exhaust sounds, coupled with catchy techno tunes. And a good love story behind this episode. Am gonna give it a nice shining 4-stars.
