"We are rating these cars by the car not the characters." James. Literally buries the Evos and NA Miata because he doesn't like the character that drives it. 😂😂😂

[juancruz]

They forgot about one of the most influential cars in Initial D: The Mercedes Guy's Mercedes

[ilshaguides]

27:04 "It doesn't matter what kind of car you drive, you can race it." ... as long as your dad is: a legendary, world-class drift racer who has been secretly training you your entire life, and is a master-level tuning mechanic who is constantly modding and updating your tune (for free) to suit the specific race you are about to run.

Now i'm waiting for a "Every Eurobeat song in Initial D ranked" video.

[keybxard]

James : We Only Rank the Cars.

James later : i hate this Guy hes at the bottom of the list.

What I’ve learned from Initial D is,
1. Handling and balance is number 1, mastered these then you can start talk about increasing power.
2. Practice makes perfect, skills/knowledge will makes you a powerful person.
3. If you notice, Ryousuke is basically Sun Tzu in 4th stage. He never pick a fight he can’t win, Project D racers always an unknown, he studied everything about the location and his upcoming opponents, he prepared/planned well, he won races with minimum efforts. Ryousuke is a super genius in Initial D. Also, this anime shows us that nothing is perfect, even a superstar like Ryousuke makes few mistakes.

"But everyone that drives an evo in the series is a dickhead"

The creators of Initial D really went to great detail to make the show super authentic.

[ATFprdepartment]

Everyone wants to be Takumi, everyone thinks that they’re Ryosuke, everyone thinks other people are Itsuki, but in reality we’re all just Iketani’s

Edit: to the countless “no clearly I’m *insert character*” in my replies over the past year

That is exactly why you’re Itsuki.

[OmegaRider]

16:17 “The Night Kids are one of the coolest teams”

Guardrails: Doubt

[keyas]

I love Takumi's character development. At first he didn't even want to race, he didn't find racing fun but overtime, it grew on him and it became more and more fun!

[NoGoodDirtyRicer]

There are definitely cooler cars in this show but every time Takeshi came around a corner in his R32, with its theme playing, I got chills.

[jonathanporter]

I love how James just yeets the Celica GT-4 cuz "one, he didn't even race, and two, no means no..."
Gave me a good chuckle.

[vesh]

I need to watch initial D, surprised I haven’t to be honest

[scathachx]

Sileighty was the cherry on top for me, the storyline built up to the climax of the race. Especially giving Takumi the feeling of adapting to other courses hes not driving before at a high pace

[egenjerry]

“Personality goes a long way”
/places psychopath EG up top lol

[maty]

James: I love NSX’s, I think they’re perfect *ranks it below 2 civics*

"Every car in initial d ranked"

Ranks the cars because of the people who drives them.

[austinbelch]

Ryosukes FC will forever be my favorite car from the series. It’s a major part of why I’m in love with cars in the first place and I will be buying an FC here in the near future

[ShebasGM]

You should do “Wangan Midnight” cars next. Great anime about cars.

[gymusen]

Obviously the Best Initial D car is Itsuki's AE85, same for his driving skills!

Can't tell me otherwise.
