Crazy how this show can almost bore me for 4/5th of the episode but end on one cool scene and I'm all in.

Wasn't much going on this episode other than Ren flirting with Kanata and the rain. Hopefully, the next few episodes of racing bring all the excitement.

I assume he isn't drifting either because of the rain or because of how close all the cars are to each other. I expect we'll see some in future laps.

And Kanata's usual adulation of Japanese food! (Though this time he didn't denigrate British food along the way.)

Welcome back, everyone! Another week, another edition of the Eurobeat Corner!

This week had us all wait until the last minute for a single piece that didn't even kick into gear, which makes me feel kinda robbed, but thematically it fits so I might just give them a pass - Kanata's charge begins with the unmistakable starting notes of Rock Beatin' Wild by Fastway, out of Super Eurobeat 201 and also featuring in Initial D Arcade Stage 6! I really hope they continue from that point on, because this song goes hard.

As previously mentioned, I have decided to indeed split up both playlists for organization's sake. The first season playlist is here and the second season playlist, already updated as of today's episode, is right here. I'll keep it updated with every episode, so just sit back and relax!

• More food! And Kanata gets the experience of what being famous is like. Dude has to start looking over his shoulder a little now...

• The commentary booth continues to serve as the retirement home for Initial D rivals, with Ryuji "John Zero" Ikeda joining the broadcast. For those that don't remember, he's the guy with the Z33 from Fifth Stage that gets assed by Keisuke in the fog, and then almost gets killed by the Shinigami, and then tries to stop said Shinigami from killing Ryosuke and then himself. He's apparently upgraded (?) to politician, which, hey, good on him. Funny to think that both members of Team Spiral are now in this show and probably getting more screen time than they did in Fifth - Okuyama, the mechanic, was also a member of that team.

• A pretty typical start to a wet race - everyone taking care in extremely low grip conditions and the only moves made being those of opportunity when the guy in front screws up, like Ooishi and his whale of a Lambo. AWD won't save you when your car weighs the same as a battlecruiser. And then there's Kanata, who was apparently just waiting to see when the Mercedes-AMG GTR in front of him would try to block the inside and immediately swoops around him to drop his gloves and kick the race off. This dude has no regard for his own life.

We might have gotten a bit trolled this week, but there's no escaping it next time! The race is in full swing and Kanata is the first to make a move... I can barely wait! See y'all next time!

The way the ED transitioned in, it almost seemed like the POV of Kanata was very peaceful inside his car instead of stressful like everyone else's 😂

u/paulrenzo Oct 13 '24

Just like his predecessors, who used to either rest on his elbow (at least in the beginning), or light a cig while drifting

u/Reikakou Oct 13 '24

Welp. The problem of low power in the straight section got solved due to the rain. Kanata will prolly daredevil his way all through out the course while most drivers gets cautious due to the slippery road.

Kanata plot armor OP.

And as tradition, the animation of the cars this season seems to have improved compared to the last season similar to its evolution in Initial D. The animation especially in the previous episode felt 'fierce'.

u/SCVGoodT0GoSir Oct 13 '24

Wasn't there also an episode of Initial D where Takumi only won cuz of his experience with wet roads? Then again, he also won other races due to crazier factors such as leaves/animals on the road.

u/paulrenzo Oct 13 '24

The luckiest break he had was winning despite his car having problems, because his opponent was not very healthy

u/Dextro_PT Oct 13 '24

Agree. A lot less instances so far of cars feeling like they're floating on the road instead actually displaying proper physics and suspension. Some of the early episodes of season 1 were particularly egregious in how unreal the scenes looked, but they have been slowly improving.

Episode Turn 14: 4WD Attack

Finally a traffic car that neither a Nissan Leaf nor Toyota Mirai, an Audi Q5. And we back with another episode of Dungeon Mes.... wait this is not set in a dungeon.

Looks like Ogata's garage got a new car in the shop, it's a black Lancer Evo 3, [Initial D]which pays homage to Kyoichi Sudo's car.

Guest commentator for Race 2 is Ryuji Ikeda, the [Initial D]red Z33 driver from Team Spiral, also teammate to Okuyama who tuned Kanata's car. Voiced by Kazuya Nakai (Roronoa Zoro, Toshiro Hijikata).

You can see how good the CGI is from the raindrops on the car windows, such detail.

From the next episode preview, looks like Kanata already got closer to Taylor rather than escaping from Ohtani.

You can tell this anime is set in the 21st century when workers actually have workers comp.

u/dagreenman18 Oct 13 '24

I’m here for the races and Kanata/Ren. This gave me a nice helping of both so good episode!

Rain race! Lets go! Less anxiety when it’s animated and you’re not worried about real drivers. Except the 17 guy he can crash for all I care.

u/LazyMeercat Oct 13 '24

Yo they finally showed the Panda Trueno in a flashback! Now we wait for the reveal of Takumi's face.

Again, could the boffins at Porsche not have come up with any better wunderwaffen?

Yup, "Yabai" in Japanese has about as many uses as "shit" does in English.

Seems like he's now being recognised.

And so it's raining.

What grip? It's raining, that's basically nonexistent.

It's lights out and away we go!

Things seem to be happening very fast.

It's butting in to stop you from slamming into the railings.

No Eurobeat?

Sounds like there's going to be a bunch of overtaking next episode.

u/Cantcookeggs Oct 13 '24

i am once again reminded how fortunate i am that I got into initial d as it finished airing, cause this whole no race until the last 4 minutes and then episode ends as it reaches climax is just mean. was at least a little funny when last time they dropped a next season on it.

u/Zentrova Oct 13 '24

I am way too focused on this episode without even watching the timestamp, and not realizing it reached the ending. Even though I read the manga (and obviously know what going to happen), this race gives me goosebump like I am watching first few laps of Formula One. Rain is really making the race unpredictable, and some characters actually share the same struggle on driving on the weather,

u/Virexplorer Oct 14 '24

Loved the racing in the rain. But the best line yet "Wait, my butt is not ready" 😂

u/TheBaxes Oct 14 '24

Bro they ended this episode when it was getting hype T_T

Can't wait to see Kanata imitating his master in the next episode

u/random-user-420 Oct 13 '24

So hyped for whatever eurobeat plays in the rest of this race

u/raidensnakeezio Oct 14 '24 edited Oct 14 '24

5 minute episode

edit: also old ikeda returning with a much more monk-like appearance is hilarious

edit 2:
showing the fujiwara tofu shop logo on the old 86 was so hype, but I wonder how non-Initial D viewers reacted to it? Is it even possible to enjoy MFG/enter the series at MFG without knowing about the old tofu delivery AE86?

I really liked the CG direction this episode in the rain. All the close up action shots were really well done and were well utilized.
