ACT. 11/ACT. 12

1:05 I always find that in 5th stage Takumi's driving looks really unimpressive. Look at his exit to the corner and then compare that to Takumi Vs Ryosuke's battle or any battle from 2nd stage to 4th stage. He has supposed to have improved massively since then but then you get this.

For me the best race in the 5th stage is the shinigami vs ryosuke the background for the race and the race is so cool one of the best in my opinion

[NANOmasion]

I will be frank, the animation details of the 4th season are better than the 5th season, in the 5th season it looks as if the cars are sliding on olive oil and if you pay attention, sometimes the wheels do not turn, the animators are lazy.

engine sounds in 5th stage sounds like a hymn

The preparation was definitely a lot but the outcome of the race is actually kind of disappointing despite them having so much practice.

You've got me scrambling looking at my own remasters seeing what I'm doing wrong, and I've found it. Thanks for putting out the amazing content.

The only good thing to me about fifth stage is the intro. However I was heavily disappointed and didn't even finish watching the stage. Intro was hype but that's pretty much it. That's coming from a fan that watched the anime over at least 10-15 ten times since I discovered it in 2007. Fourth stage is my favourite for how well it's made. I'm a car guy and a motorsports fan so realism goes a long way for me. Plus well crafted animation combined with perfectly selected music is heaven for me. Not only that they cut out even more story than Fourth Stage, absolutely no build up to each races.

1:04, is it just me or the 86's wheels are actually stationary from the CGI animation error?

Hmm, How cute, but they seem a little slow

[tammers]

1:03 yall notice how the wheels on that 86 is literally not spinning?

[Casiopea-San]

Another nice upscale 😎

If you dont mind me asking how are you able to seperate the sfx from the music? Personally experimenting with some clips aswell for some of my animated wallpapers

Wish that I can have a chance to drive the NSX and the FD. They are trully Japanese's work of art.

[jakkyleggs]

This was my favorite faze of the fd it just looked so good

Despite popular belief, 5th stage is actually the best in my opinion.

[angelstouge]

The Last 5 minutes of Shinji v Takumi are easily in the top 3 of best scenes of the whole series

[gbot]

How do you guys find the full series it’s not on funimation I still haven’t finished it

[lequitechild]

for some reason, im obsessd with the nsx's sound.

[GearHead]

Everyone saying they didn't enjoy the stage.

Jeez, have we been watching the same Anime? I kinda loved the Fifth Stage, even for all its faults.

The best street racing manga/anime, Initial D

Does anyone wish the Takumi would’ve gotten a new car just a little don’t get me wrong i love the 86 and his connection with it but when his father got a new car i kinda wanted him to lean into it more
