I watched the Initial D, anime [both the tokyopop and funimation editions, subbed and dubbed all formats.], and read the manga, so I have some prior exposure to this series, there are some gripes I had with this movie, a lot of the manga isI watched the Initial D, anime [both the tokyopop and funimation editions, subbed and dubbed all formats.], and read the manga, so I have some prior exposure to this series, there are some gripes I had with this movie, a lot of the manga is glossed over quite rapidly and certain events and actions in the movie never take place in the manga/anime etc but I won't get geeky about it...however as a movie adaption from manga/anime goes it's a lot better then many other manga to movie transitions, so I can give it this, Initial D is a great anime adapted to movie, I honetly think it's a better drifting movie then The fast and the furious tokyodrift aka fast and the furious 3, it has a better story and the main character is not your average main character, and I appreciate how the director and cast looked closely at the manga and anime for inspiration, this is as close a movie adaption from an anime/manga a director has come to getting it spot on [with the exception of maybe deathnote that too has a good movie adaption as well] ultimately the movie has a good story the charcters are well chosen for their roles the english dub is pretty good for the time as well, honestly a great series I enjoyed the movie and want to see an Initial D sequel movie [which has been rumored to be in the works.] jay chu did a good job playing takumi fujiwara this series is iconic and the movie was entertaining.

All things considered, an ok adaption of this excellent Manga and Anime series. Encapsulates most of the entire first series, with only minor ommissions.

Encapsulates most of the entire first series, with only minor ommissions. The music-video style editing gets in the way at times, but the driving sequences, featuring real D1 drivers, are fairly well executed. Expand

I humbly admire this attempt to remake such a wonderful series. I feel that it did not quite stay true to the original series, example; where the HECK is Cole? But they did add some nice touches, such as the romantic walk on the beach with I humbly admire this attempt to remake such a wonderful series. I feel that it did not quite stay true to the original series, example; where the HECK is Cole? But they did add some nice touches, such as the romantic walk on the beach with Tak wearing a shirt that only says "69." I also like the amount of insults there were because Japanese translators believe that all us crazy American do is curse, and call people fags. Expand

What a great real life version, if you've ever seen any of the cartoons. For those who haven't, the driving in this movie definitely gives an interesting glimpse into what mountainous racing may be like.

What a **** movie is this? I stop watching at the first race becasue Nakazato is drifting. Like Nakazato don't drift everybody knows that, he hates drifting. He was drifting when he had Silvia, but in this movie he drifts with R32 Skyline.What a **** movie is this? I stop watching at the first race becasue Nakazato is drifting. Like Nakazato don't drift everybody knows that, he hates drifting. He was drifting when he had Silvia, but in this movie he drifts with R32 Skyline. And Itsuki have S13, he should had Hachi-Go Levin. And there's no Keisuke or his RX7, Ryosuke is there but Keisuke is not even in the movie, i check the cast. I wasted my time. The only good thing is cars. Shiny beatiful Japanese cars. But the rest of it is waste of time. Expand

This Chinese adaptation of the Japanese manga/anime trashes the source material with feeble kiddie humor, buffoonish characters, and the sort of senseless plotting you'd find in Chinese cinema 40-50 years ago.
