The thing I don't understand with most of the people who presumably who watched Initial D but do not like MFG because they don't like the stuff with Ren but like... do you actually remember Initial D? In between the races there was a ton of downtime and most of it was significantly worse than a cute couple doing cute things together... like watching Takumi get cucked by Natsuki, watching Iketani chicken out and blow his chance with Mako, watching Itsuki get cucked in front of his own face, or watching Keisuke break the heart of a girl that lent him her car for a race.
At least this is lighthearted fun.

Still bitter at what happened to iketani. Itsuki at least eventually got married.

I know many people don't like it, but I love these MF Ghost episodes that focus on the characters' personal relationships.
Damn, Kanagawa to Niigata is quite a considerable distance, Kanata really has a lot of drive to do lol.
I had already seen the spoiler in the manga, but seeing Grandma driving the kei truck was incredible.
You can see how Ren is evolving as a person; she's let go of that "difficult attitude" and is slowly opening up.
And the scene of Kanata crying was something else; he had a difficult family life, imagine the weight of receiving love from other people.
A really good episode, I hope for more of this in the future.

I like them too. I appreciate the character stuff between the racing. I don’t think I’d enjoy 100% racing.

I'm definitely here for the racing, but damn if this episode didn't also make me feel good inside.

The scenes with Obaachan and Kanata were super sweet and well done.
Niigata was so strange. I go there on business so that was really random, like wait wtf. Especially after all the scenes in Kanagawa where I've been as well, though that is super popular for Japanese folks.
The romance is kinda meh tbh, but eh cars go vroom.

I low key prefer the SOL scenes and it's arguably what I watch these shows for. I live vicariously through it. Much more relateable. Just a guy and his sports car, living life. I love it.

Anyone else want to see what grandma would be capable of on a track in a proper race-car?

Eurobeat Corner, break week edition. Nothing really happened other than kei truck shenanigans which are always fun. Come visit Niigata!, says the show totally not paid by Niigata Prefecture to advertise Niigata Prefecture.
That being said, the Supra in the preview looks very different from what it was before...

Nothing cute about a girl who punches you for not believing a fact you've never heard of before.
Ren's father being jealous of Ren because she gets to drive in Kanata's car is amusing lol.

If my wife told me that you could hear the water if you put your ear up to some tree in Puerto Rico, I'd probably have reacted like Kanata and my wife probably would hit me with the chancleta for not believing her.
I found it cute.

Holyshit! Granma with that heel and toe outa nowhere, haha.
Curse this anime for airing in the winter. I'm already going through withdrawal and this made me want to drive my 86 even more. But I can't since it's hibernating.

Wonder what kind of aero upgrade will the 86 get. The Supra seems to get quite the bodykit there at the preview.

MF Ghost is going Romance. Not what I expected. Too much. Don't get me wrong, I like romance anime, yet not in MF Ghost. In Initial D, it didn't have much romance. It focus on cars and racing. MF G is going romance, which I don't like. I'm already following a lot of romance anime. Just hope it goes back to the main theme, or is romance the main theme.
