The protagonist is Fujiwara Takumi, who, driving an old Toyota AE86, defeats his rivals with the newest sports cars one after another with his shocking drifting skills. Besides the heat of competition, the adolescent drama aspect is another point worthy of note. Initial D has countless preceding anime adaptations as well, including a five-season anime series, the 2001 movie Initial D Third Stage, and OVAs. There is also a 2005 live-action adaptation filmed in Hong Kong, starring international idol Jay Chou. Meanwhile, this new movie will be something we could call a compilation of the series. We expect new developments starting in August.
