Initial D Legend Stage: «Kansei Dorifto» [BLENDER CINEMATIC]

[@ArtFilmStudio_1]

Hi all, I want to share some facts about the development of this video! The first developments in this style, came in the summer of 2022. In a break from creating my main remakes, I was testing implementations of other styles for my videos. The first published developments, Boosty subscribers saw in November 2022. [Subscribe to Boosty to see exclusive content much sooner 🙂 ] boosty.to/artfilmstudio The big question was the choice of a race that could be done in such a visual. So I decided to remake my first Blender Cinematic using this style. I also want to answer the question why did the car numbers change? [Instead of 13-954 -> 954-3 etc.] I decided to separate my regular line of remakes from the cartoon line in this way. If there's a lot of activity under this clip, maybe I'll continue to develop this style in a separate Legend Stage remake series. ---- Всем привет, хочу поделиться некоторыми фактами разработки этого ролика! Первые наработки в данном стиле, появились летом 2022 года. В перерыве от создания основных своих ремейков, я тестировал реализацию других стилей для своих видео. Первые опубликованные наработки, подписчики Boosty увидели в ноябре 2022. [Подписывайтесь на Boosty, чтобы увидеть эксклюзивный контент намного раньше 🙂 ] boosty.to/artfilmstudio Главным вопросом был выбор гонки, которую можно сделать в таком визуале. И я решил сделать ремейк своего первого Blender синематика, использовав этот стиль. Также хочу ответить на вопрос почему изменились номера автомобилей? [Вместо 13-954 -> 954-3 и тд] Я решил таким образом отделить свою обычную линейку ремейков от мультяшной. Если этот под этим роликом будет большая активность, то возможно я продолжу развивать этот стиль в отдельной серии ремейков «Legend Stage»

I can't wait for the battle to be shown where Takumi showed his called attack"Blind Attack"

[@GrAce-bf3fv]

0:32 side brake is locked!!!!

[@JohnDoe-sw6ll]

Yeah, I would definitely be glad to see remakes of your first stage videos in your version of the Legend movie's artstyle.

[@Kosoku63]

It's very sick, the only thing I can nitpick is that Takumi's license plate classification number is 356. The AE86 has a 1600cc engine, which is under 2000cc. If the engine is over 2000cc, the classification number will be 3X/3XX. However, if it is under 2000cc like the AE86 is, the number will be 5X/5XX. The FD has a 1300cc engine but that's an exception because it is wide so they still put it under 3X/3XX classification.

しっかり3Dなのいいよね

[@Cyberware77]

This is what I wanted from the legend movies! The body movement of keisuke is natural and smooth while the cars have that manga drawn effect. Every time a new animation is made, the quality goes up a level! Nice work!

[@prostreetfairladyz8402]

better than the crap EA did with NFS Unbound

[@shiftygirl6434]

its really well done

[@michaelclarke5860]

Forgot to mention a fire soundtrack!

[@guywithnohouse.6808]

Go watch the legend movies again, I had to rewatch it to make sure, but legend is really faithful to the manga in how the cars move, I honestly loved it even though it had none of the eurobeat too.

[@AkimasaJP]

Legend is definitely has the best animation fidelity and camera angles, but damn these animations are pretty fkn close lol, personally I feel like it could’ve been a little darker to match the feel of 1st stage but that’s just me nitpicking

[@U.S_Drifter]

Just from the thumbnail, I can tell it’s going to be epic.

[@Minato_Akiyama03]

Oh yeah, it's making me want to make my own! My own animation! 2D and 3D lol.

[@Von-Aramaki]

WOOOO

[@Kosoku63]

I wish my animations were as good / popular

[@christcarscountry6870]

Holy shit. Dude I'm actually blown away. The motion of the cars is so damn smooth and everything's timed very well with the audio/music. The quality here is through the roof. I was deadass bouncing up in my chair like an absolute child watching this it was so intense. Smile from beginning to end. Never stop animating.

[@naul2477]

How much I would like to see a remake or video game of the first season of initial d with this quality of animation in the races, excellent work as always

[@bunsdarius9223]

There is a remake btw.

[@firestorm165]

@@bunsdarius9223 I've seen some of it, the POV moves around and shakes so much you can barely tell what's going on

[@bunsdarius9223]

@@firestorm165 wait shakes? You're talking about the trilogy movie right? For me my only problem with the remake is that they didn't use eurobeat and instead used jrock songs. The songs were alright though.

[@RogueRail]

It would be nice to have a new Initial D game, but licensing for Toyota’s cars might be challenging after witnessing what happened to racing games we had back in 2017. Plus past Initial D games were only available in Japan, but it is possible that a new game can make it to the states and Europe.

[@MerryApps_]

​@@RogueRail There will be no problems with Toyota, they themselves use the initial d to advertise their brand and are great about this title

[@nosdurh]

I'd 100% pay to watch the whole anime animated like this, such a well done rework

[@meijuta]

I kind of prefer the original CGI and artstyle. It just has an unmatchable charm yknow?

[@GengarDay]

@@meijutatrue but this style seems entertaining

[@meijuta]

yeah and people will always prefer a more modern and polished look, even if i feel like the initial D atmosphere gets across better in the old animation@@GengarDay

[@GengarDay]

@@meijuta That’s how it goes but at least some people appreciate the old style

[@1mawesomel1kethat]

That Wangan tune at the end was a nice touch for describing the 86 being a "ghost", since the Devil Z was speculated to have it's own "spirit".

​@@furicalors"Strategic Way", a Wangan Midnight anime Original Soundtrack. the part you're looking for is the latter half that starts at around 1:35.

[@furicalors]

@Planty_ thx

[@tonerpng]

it looks like you went from super high quality blender cinematics, to this more manga looking style and I really appreciate. I love the style shift, and I think its way more fitting for something like this. The cell shading on the cars was SO COOL!

[@ArtFilmStudio_1]

My basic style remains the same, read my attached comment 🙂

[@ChariEL-JP]

日本人です。頭文字Dが大好きです。 なんて素晴らしいアニメーション！！！！ 特にキャラの描写においては他は原作アニメを引用しているが、あなたは手作り！ 今まで見てきた再現アニメの中で最高のクオリティです！！

[@13B-POWAH]

OMG ITS SO FUCKING GOOOOD the sound design the visual designs and effects the low framerate on the cars to blend the anime style with realistic graphics this isnt a blender project its fucking art, it has artistic intent and it doesn't directly follow the source material it flows in tandem with it, making its own path in wonderful ways and my god this has made my year this has made my damn year

[@buriburimaccho]

ぶっちゃけこれが公式のリメイクですって言われても納得の出来なんだが👍👍👍

[@nightmare449]

I quite like the evolution of the style from the FC3s and AE86 vid, to the R32 and Lan-Evo IV and now this. You passed from smooth animation to this one who's more "blocky" or feels more like a stop motion at some points, like you're turning the pages of a manga to see the next page with just slightly more details on a scene. It's really good looking and it doesn't take you out, it just gives off a different feeling from the other races that I quite like

[@IIIII-g5s]

Even from a pure Japanese point of view, it's really the best work. I was impressed by the attention to speed and camera work, while creating an original-style image. I've been watching your videos for a long time, but I didn't think you had evolved to this point. I hope that you will continue to make videos for Initial D fans, car lovers, and people all over the world. I support it, all the way.

[@Triboro100]

Your quality continues to amaze. Loved the inclusion of the wangan midnight music at the end, adds to the mystic of the scene

[@prostreetfairladyz8402]

i agree, WM may no be good with story telling but the background musics they got was iconic

I normally would be tired of this race, but this made me love it again and the wangan midnight soundtrack at the end fit perfectly , chills down my spine rn

[@AwesomeSpaceShip]

Совершенно новый уровень, много эффектов, динамика, скорость, блин это так круто видеть как ты развиваешься! Продолжай дальше братишка!

[@dre4dm1nd]

Приятель, хорошая работа!! Очень продвигаешься по анимации, это заметно все больше и больше! А еще эта стилистика анимации, напомнила мне о стилистике Человека Паука через вселенные, а также Кота в Сапогах 2, но вот очень гармонично смотрится! Так держать! ❤❤❤

[@BlazingLucario]

“No one sleeps in Tokyooo. All while crossing the liiiiine. No one quit the radio. Tokyo is on fiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrree.” I love that eurobeat, it especially fits in this scene

[@clockwork3494]

Wow. I'm honestly speechless.. this was.. incredible. This sent chills down my spine and it's only about 4 minutes long. The camera angles, the way you were able to make this look like the Legend films, the expression of Keisuke (Absolutely *loved* how you made him hit his steering wheel in frustration), this was fantastic to watch and your talent is just incredible, just.. wow

[@imbroke69420]

This guy legit makes EPIC Initial D animations. 👌👌

[@stevennagy4366]

Excellent! As a long time fan of Initial D- I’m very impressed! I liked the art style, but also really appreciate the attention to detail. Especially with the facial expressions of Keisuke. It felt very life-like while still maintaining that anime-style charm. I also like the sound effects! It makes for a vast immersive experience. It would be so nice to see all of the classic battles re-made in this style. I appreciate your time and effort in making this clip.

[@Cococokieful]

Keisuke's face sure looks great as 3D and manga style in this clip. The hand shifting gear needs work though lol

[@MahadShahzad08]

How this one drift changed Takumi's destiny forever... This single scene is the most iconic scene in all of entertainment. Really brings back memories

[@aatroxporo6997]

[@RanDom-bx7ij]

Это новый уровень анимации (для этого канала, конечно же)! Крутой стиль 2,5D!

[@SaltExarch]

This is, hands down, the best animated rendition of this scene. Period. The way the animation captures the manga's intricate linework, while also being smooth and engaging, and capturing every beautiful moment of the encounter, up to and including the famous "Kansei Dorifto" in perfect detail was absolutely gorgeous. I genuinely think experiencing the hype of this video is as close as any Initial D fan can come to re-experiencing this moment for the first time.

[@GGojira1954]

The evolution is insane!! Amazing work❤

[@CrazedSoldier]

I didn’t even notice it was yours until I checked the channel; it looks so much more stylistic now like the Legends series, yet it still has that touch of realism that puts it above that series, absolutely stunning work.

[@DrunkenMisu]

Dude love the legend style its great man and I love how the cars move in a more choppy framerate makes it feel like a manga. Great work man wouldn't mind if you make more videos in this style its amazing!

[@calxsilvergaming4610]

[@Trey3268]

The Animation you did was INCREDIBLE. You not only had the same lighting, shading and animation style from your past videos, you also included the choppy animation of the Legend Movies. I hope future videos can be exactly like this!
