FIRST TIME ALL INITIAL D Openings Reaction

[@diegohdz111]

Brother you need to listen to the OST of Initial D, gas gas gas, Deja vu, Night of fire, Running in the 90's, there are many good songs

[@ben-san9677]

I hope he does. I never watched Initial D, so I always assumed Deja Vu was an OP and was disappointed when it wasn't part of this video.

[@Corvenik1]

Night of Fire is top tier, also Killing my Love

[@serpently9404]

Definitely 💯😁

[@ozcar2007]

those are not even the good ones

[@azizulfikri8392]

Me personal favourite is Emotional Fire. It fits the Silvia race so good

[@victorafjp]

Initial D is a REAL cult classic, not even in the anime lover community, but even in the ANIMATORS community, Japan has like this love for it because it was something that raised the bar over in the anime industry, and even put a lot of Japan driving culture into the world Initiald + Keiichi Tsuchiya were the ones to showed the world drifting and japanese cool cars, and you know FF3 Tokyo Drift and a lot of other things came from that

[@lshc0304]

the driver who is smoking and driving so chill is the protagonist's dad, in one of the early season, he even lights up a cigarette with both hands while drifting a corner

[@emptyfueltank]

He just wanted a smoke

[@t.fujiwara3304]

The Initial D manga went from 1995-2013 while the anime went from 1998-2014, all the openings are performed by a band called move (or stylized as m.o.v.e) which was a Japanese band from 1997 to 2013, they had a female vocalist (Yuri Masuda), a male rapper (Motsu), and the dude playing the music/production (T-Kimura). Here are all the names of their songs that played in the opening along with it's year or release First Stage OP 1 - Around The World - 1998 First Stage OP 2 - Break In2 The Nite - 1998 Second Stage OP - Blazin' Beat - 1999 Third Stage Movie OP - Gamble Rumble - 2001 Fourth Stage OP 1 - Dogfight - 2004 Fourth Stage OP 2 - Noizy Tribe - 2005 Fifth Stage OP - Raise Up - 2012 Final Stage OP - Outsoar The Rainbow - 2014

[@victorafjp]

Do not forget about the endings, they almost did every ending too and with a Ballad tone that was really f...kin awesome.

[@varajalka]

Oh man the nostalgia trip 😊 DOGFIGHT and most of the Initial D OST was playing in my first car almost always. I heavily hope you react to the OST on this one because its more legendary than the openings and endings. Also warning to any new drivers: Listening Initial D music while driving can increase the chance of getting a speeding ticket by a lot‼

[@KarNeoLeX]

Yes Gaz needs to react to the OSTs (at least the more famous ones)

[@jeromedalisay1210]

Dogfight is fire and hype.

[@kristijanEX]

Intiial D is one of those rare anime that has better songs in the show than the openings.

[@pavelslama5543]

And the more obscure the song is, the better it is. Songs like gas gas gas, or deja vu are all heavily overrated. Especially to jems like "make my day" or "wings of fire".

[@kristijanEX]

@@pavelslama5543 Agreed, not just in terms of eurobeat, but also other genres, my favorite Initial D tracks are One night in Arabia, Everybody's Warming, Be my Babe, Lost into the Night, Burning up for you, Love and Money and See You, my best Love. That last one technically isn't Eurobeat, but is an Initial D track.

Well, I wasn't much of a car or race enthusiast before, but after watching this anime I cannot live without feeling the emotions sparkle each time I drive a car or listen to eurobeat songs.

[@chiphargis2419]

When I’m on long drives I pop on initial d sound track and fly.

[@Ryou6]

This is such a walk down the memory lane as you've said. The openings are all sung by the band Move, if you look under the song titles you'd find their stylized Move logo. The retro black & white car was the MC's car btw. I like the S2 opening Blazin' Beat the most, remember vibing to it and mentally humming it even during middle school exams 😂

[@ooos9172]

The panda color car called Toyota Corola AE-86 Apex series Sprinter Trueno The yellow car called Mazda Rx7 in anime they called FD3s The White car called Mazda Rx7 but outdated or older one in anime they called FC3s Also in the final stage’s OP you saw the similar to Mc’s car they definitely same car but different body.. that car called AE-86 Sedan Trueno which means 3 doors and Mc’s Sprinter Truen has 4 doors

[@satolatifi24]

Its actually Toyota Corolla Sprinter Trueno GT-APEX AE86

[@nyarlathotep616]

Nice. Don't think I've ever seen anyone react to initial d openings. Such a long running series. I remember playing a probably fan made game in like 2000 or 01. Also The Trueno the retro card also my favorite.

[@ElderonAnalas]

It's just so sad that this show also made the Trueno outrageously expensive as well, and so hard to find as well here in the states, as I believe some regulations passed back in the 90's basically making importing them from Japan illegal in some regard, so the only ones over here are the 10k or so that we're already over here beforehand.

[@leepicgaymer5464]

​@@ElderonAnalasalso known as the Takumi Tax

[@SillySandyAJ]

This series was the one that made me a big fan of m.o.v.e. they did all of the intro & ending songs. As for what the 90s anime plot, its about a tofu delivery driver who's skills were noticed by the street racing circuit. Main panda color Ae86 Trueno was the main car they used throughout the series (got a slight upgrade later on)

[@iPetable]

You NEED to listen to the OSTs for this anime. It has so much amazing music, specifically 'Space Boy,' 'No One Sleep In Tokyo,' 'Running In The 90s,' 'Back On The Rocks,'..... so many good tracks but these are the first ones that pop in my head. This anime started in 1998, so yea it's pretty old now, but man it still gets me pumped to listen to the music from it, still have a lot of them on some playlists. The main car in this anime is a Trueno, which in American/European import cars the equivalent would be the '87 Toyota Corolla with flip lights. There's a lot of amazing cars in this, but you'll need to look up the makes outside of Japan to equate them to the cars you might know

[@thedysfunctionalcrew]

I remembered watching this on tv, and suddenly my dad get hooked in this anime. This is a legendary anime

[@KarNeoLeX]

Initial D came to an end and shortly after the Mangaka(the Author of the Initial D) announced he will be making a new racing related Manga thats called "MF Ghost" which we will see in the next year (as a movie i think)[anyway it got announced] . It plays in the future with electric Cars i believe i havent read the Manga tho.

[@bladegtr34]

The style of this music was called Eurobeat, most if not all of the intro songs were performed by a group called M.o.v.e. and this anime was a big hit among street racers during its release in the mid 90s.

[@Corvenik1]

I was never a racing fan and when it came to anime i was always put off even by the animation back in the day, but one day i was like lemme check it out and wow , The Anime focuses on characters and the cars and it has great char development . its a great watch and if you liked the Openings the whole anime has great music especially during the actual episode races

[@PollenEye]

Funny that you say it gives you Sega vibes, because the Initial D video games were actually published by Sega. If you were in arcades in the 90s and 2000s, there's a good chance you played one! That's actually where I'm most familiar with the series. I didn't even know it was an anime until much later.

[@chiphargis2419]

This show is iconic. All racing games and fast and furious are based off this.

[@protojager]

One of the best things about this show is that as a car shows up on screen for the first time, the people in the show will tell you what it is, like "I can't believe it, the fastest driver on this mountain drives an 86?!" Referring to an AEA86 the chassis code for a model of Toyota Corolla, same for the S13, S14 which are models of Nissan Silvia and the FC and FD which are different models of Mazda Rx-7 driven by a set of brothers.

[@protojager]

Calling a car by the name of its' chassis code was popular in the Japanese racing scene because that would indicate how it drove, what kind of engine it came with, what kind of general body shape it used, which wheels the drivetrain used, etc. In the show the main character even proves that he can easily drive a car he's never touched before because it is so similar to his own.

[@royallanvillareal7422]

the name of the band is M.O.V.E... Noizy tribe is the title of the song in 4th stage 2nd part if im not mistaken...

[@Watched_11]

initial d is one of the best anime i’ve ever seen!!! because of that i now love cars and my dream car is FC rx7 😊

[@ja4309]

The first anime that I really got hooked into and got me into liking cars. It's an up and coming story of this young driver of the AE86 who comes to love mountain racing and seeks to be at the top

[@slavec461]

Yellow Mazda RX-7 Ryoske's - my favorite. For lovers cars that anime - very nice choice. The main characters of this anime is a cars)

[@ktcworks]

M.O.V.E. is the artist for all these songs and there are even openings for the arcade game Initial D.

[@MKAZ-_-S]

thank you for the reaction, btw the ending of this anime are good too, because most of them same band "MOVE"

[@coughins]

The biggest favor you can do to yourself is watching this masterpiece of an anime.

[@kee1pride31]

I didn’t like cars until I watched this anime. Went to a friends when I was a kid and he had all of the show on dvd. He passed out and I stayed up till morning watching it non stop. Instantly fell in love. Ps waiting on your one ok rock make it out alive reaction!

[@HaohmaruHL]

Nice timing. I was just singing the first opening in karaoke yesterday.

[@RegnumMortis]

@3:14 "if you're a car lover, I feel this is an anime for you to get a trip down the memory lane for those old school cars." And if you're not a car lover, you'll likely relate to the main character: oblivious and disinterested at the start, and learning more about those old school cars as his journey progresses. Initial D was the inspiration for many people to become car lovers.

[@ftu2021]

except unlike the protagonist, most people cant drift or natural street racing talent

[@lshc0304]

stage 3 (season 3) is an anime movie btw, so its kindda make sense if it didn't show much thing in the opening

[@Hollywoodzakoshishishi]

[@Dclas14135_Priest]

Since the level of 3DCG technology has improved since the Second stage, license plates were drawn on the cars in which the characters ride, but these are five-digit license plates that are not actually used in Japan.

This is a hidden gem wish more ppl would watch

this is my fave anime since 6th grade. im 31 now. i just like things and when people react to things i like i expect things and im always left upset. not specifically you but in general

[@VRGUILE]

"I couldn't pull out a main character yet" The cars are the main characers!

[@Breetai_SDF-1]

Without giving too much away, the main character of the anime is a Toyota Trueno AE86 who must deliver tofu to customers faster than competing take out shops. 🤭

[@PatticusIV]

If I remember correctly, the group that does all the intros is called m.o.v.e, and they're great

[@rtntm4812]

Your comment at the end that he didn't spill the water is actually a key point in the manga / anime. The main character, Takumi's father (Bunta) owns a tofu shop and makes Takumi make pre-dawn deliveries of tofu to his customers in the family Toyota AE86. This starts when he's a middle schooler. Takumi's told that if water from the partially filled cup spills while there's tofu in the back for delivery, it'll get ruined (essentially, don't jostle the fresh, soft tofu). He believes it and starts slow and eventually gets faster over time. Eventually he gets so smooth with car control and vehicle weight shift, he can keep the water just on the edge of the cup lip with the car movement alone. It's a very anime moment :) Turns out Bunta is a former street racer and extremely good (likely the best in the whole series). This was his way of getting Takumi skills far beyond his age. All poor Takumi wanted was to get back home as fast as he could after the delivery and sleep some more!

[@tpost117]

Initial D is probably in my top 5. It’s so good.

[@TheErsu]

Initial D started in the 90s. If you want 80s anime music try Bubblegum Crisis, Kimagure Orange Road, Gundam Double Zeta, or Saint Seiya.

[@sixstanger00]

"Initial D" is a series about Japanese street racing on mountain passes (what F&F: Tokyo Drift loosely is about). The series is noted for it's attention to detail in terms of the street racing culture, mechanics, physics, and so on. If you enjoyed the original _Fast and Furious_ film, you'll love this series. Though I must admit: this series often only appeals to real-life car enthusiasts, as most non-car people will fail to see the significance of certain cars featured in the series, like a R34 Skyline GT-R, Subura Impreza WRX, Toyota AE86, Honda Civic Type-R, Mazda RX-7, and so on. The various racing scenes in the openings do actually reference plotlines in the series. There are too many cars to list from the intros, but I'll try my best: - White car with pop-up headlights and Japanese writing on the side of the door: Toyota Trueno GT Apex (AE86 chassis); outside of Japan, this car was called a "Corolla GT-S" - Yellow car: Mazda RX-7 (FD chassis) - White car with pop-up lights that is often paired with the yellow car: Mazda RX-7 (FC chassis), previous body style to the yellow one. - Blue car shown in "Dogfight:" Subaru Impreza WRX - Small red car shown drifting with the AE86: Mazda Miata (MX-5) - Yellow car alongside AE86 as it turns it's headlights back on: Honda Civic Type-R (EK9 chassis) - Blue and white cars shown together in the 2nd Stage 4 opening: Blue car is a Honda S2000, white car is a Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34 chassis)

[@ghostforce2376]

will you react to this? its highly underrated and would love to see more people check it out

[@Lostbomber]

Such an underrated anime as somebody who dives a Mazda rx7 this show is my guilty pleasure.

[@IncikBaha]

1. Band name "Move" or M.O.V.E from Japan 2. The car in this anime are ALL JAPAN manufacture.. the anime has a prequel call MF GHOST (2023)~ Euro car manufacturer start being introduce 3. "Stage" in the title refer to "Season", e.g: First Stage = Season 1.. Stage 3 is a movie 4. The anime has it own arcade game called "Initial D Arcade Stage" funnily enough, it was produced by SEGA~ Basically the anime follows the protagonist named Takumi Fujiwara on his journey of drifting street racing on mountains side aka Toge drift. This Fujiwara is just a high school senior with no knowledge of cars (he doesn't even know his own car name) aside from his insane drifting skill nurtured by his father from young age by delivery tofu to hotel every dawn 3-5AM. he basically has no interest in racing to begin with,.

[@Moribax85]

It's street racing, but not the street racing you might be familiar with in the US or Europe, it's Touge (that literally means "mountain pass" in japanese), that is specifically japanese. The rules are simple: you race on mountain passes, 2 cars at the time, one is the lead, and one is the follower. The lead has to get away from the follower, the follower has to overtake the lead. If the follower overtakes the lead he wins, if not the times are registered and another race is held with the cars inverted: the follower becomes the lead, and the lead becomes the follower). If still the follower doesn't overtake the lead, you take the times of both races, add them up, and the car with the fastest combined time wins. Now it's a full fledged motorsport, with championships and whatnot, but it was born on the several japanese mountain passes with kids modifying their cars (not like today that they're ugly and completely impractical, they modified them for racing, they were real race cars) and racing up and down late at night.
