[@eclecticcollector88]

My first time reading this series has been with this omni vol 1. Been loving it so far!

[@kyshro]

Initial D - Favorite anime of all time 👑 Berserk - Favorite manga of all time 👑

[@haruy4333]

🗿

[@tripdefect87]

Oh the anime is amazing, no doubt, but it's always interesting to see the original manga and what made it so popular (honestly could have done without the sexual innuendos and thoughts of sex in the manga, but it's for teen boys in the 90's, so I don't hold it against it)

[@Severius33]

I've been wanting to read Initial D for years, so I'm really excited for these new releases. Great overview, as always.

[@winchriscajayon6388]

Initial D + Fast and the Furious = speed car hobby. I’ve had a supercharged 1989 Toyota MR2, 2002 Toyota Celica GTS, 2005 Mitsubishi EVOVIII MR, and a 1980 Datsun 280ZX because of this series so yes I’m extremely excited to finally see this release!

[@DavidDaft_]

GTS is peak man

[@brianstrike2781]

One of the series I’ve been holding out hope for a release in omnibus and here it is!! Looking at you next Baki!!!

[@brianlong88]

Thanks for the great review! I ordered my copy The other day, waiting for it to arrive. It will be my first time reading the series, I’m excited to start it!

[@alrightrich]

I love how Kodansha keeps the original Jp sfx/onomatopoeia with subtitled english sfx and adds very detailed translation notes in the back of the volume like with most of their series also a updated localization compared to the original tokyopop one

[@smashedupwards]

The variant covers look really cool, but will probably go with the standard covers since they give a nice car manual vibe and that will probably look great with all of them on the shelf. Thanks for putting out a video on them, can't wait to finally read the series.

[@rdmercer]

OH EM GEE! you legit read my mind. always been a fan of anime but recently started a manga kick and wondered if this was ever available somewhere. Thank you so much for this one!

[@nrreno]

How did I completely forget this was gonna release? Buying it right now

[@lizardman6515]

Great vid as usual!!! I'm excited to read and watch this for the first time!!

[@DustinJanzenDotCom]

I have been waiting for this for years, I had given up hope on a physical release and your video sent me to my favorite online bookstore in record time! Thank you very much for doing these!

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

The new covers they're doing are awesome! I love the multicolor.

[@TorriK0_tv]

Had to hit sub since I bought a new bookshelf because I’m starting to collect comics and manga again, just randomly found this channel and this has been a huge help with deciding what versions of each manga I want to collect.

[@neto1571]

Initial D is the best manga of Sports!

[@Launchpad05]

5:37 I like how it's just your long hoodie sleeves holing the book, and I like the artwork on the sleeves. You should do A video on anime hoodies sometime.

[@justinlarsen3964]

Just found this channel and I’m glad to see that she is now making more content again :)

[@frenchtoastchopsticksmanga5792]

I love how he draws cars in motion. This is my first time reading and I can't wait for the next omni.

[@GT7Takumi]

Watching this while on my way to the store to pick them up cant wait

[@stephno13]

The initial d love!

[@lurkingsalt]

Comparison hype this series is legendary, the way you cover is easy to listen and comprehend keep up the great work. The updated translation was a must have glad to hear it confirmed.

[@josephtorres7001]

You’re the best manga comparison account. I was waiting for this review so thank you so much. Keep up the amazing work.

[@rahulnarayan1983]

I think I'll get the first omnibus and try out this series. Thanks for the video :)

[@hardcoreep]

Thanks, didn't know these were in English. Heading to Amazon now.

[@foodini666]

just found this video. nice job. within the next 5-10 minutes my initial d #1 is about to be delivered by amazon.

[@apexdna]

Does Chapter 2 in this volume have color cover too?

[@F1Marky264]

New Sub! Thanks so much for the detail! I was always so sad that I could never collect these in full and often picked up the odd single when I was young but glad I’ll be able to collect these In full in the months ahead ☺️

[@simounobrien9096]

Initial D. The best car commercial of all time 😁😁😁

[@fahimnurrakin1198]

Time to hit the guard rail with Back on the Rocks!! Hehe big fan of the series thanks for covering!!

[@kevingrullon2796]

I wish the spine was more dynamic sense. This is the same thing as a two and one in Japan with the lines running through the D logo and the word initial in large text and dynamic plus the small text next to it in kanji spines are what people look at when in stores I know Kodansha could do it we saw the hardcover 3 in one release of ghost in the shell, and that spine Looks very clean.(big problem by the way why is this the same price as the two in one hard covers of Vinland saga that also have some glossy and colored paper)

[@MoreLikeYewTube]

They’re only $14 and change on sites like InStockTrades

[@damonpono8337]

Just picked up the Kino variant

[@JakeTN]

Really loving the OG cover art on the Kinokuniya edition. Sadly, it looks like they sell out super quick on their online store. I'll be passing through the Atlanta area next week, so hopefully I can find a copy in their store :)

[@BigMcLargeHuge819]

Here is to hoping we get a Bluray release of the whole anime series. I'm glad Initial D is coming back with a vengeance. 🚗

[@kkartik2000]

3:28 to 3:54, why the random black screen?

[@AnimeCollective]

Whoops! That was definitely unintentional 😅 It looks like something happened in a section of the video when I exported it. That was my bad! - Brad

[@kkartik2000]

@AnimeCollective no worries, I initially thought it was something that may be copyrighted and hence you censored it😂😂

[@ZKC137]

Can’t wait to have this fully collected on the shelf 🙌

[@kevingrullon2796]

For anybody wondering the fable two and one I got it 4 days earlier amazing release, good quality, and I would save myself. This tune one is the same or even better then the paper quality on the KC and there 2in1 and 3in1 paper quality use is also the same ones they use for the high-quality good series much better then the initial D 2in1

[@DangitCD]

RIP to anyone that spent over a grand collecting the singles. Omnibus is better translated.

[@localwomanreads]

Congratulations to you for Initial D getting reprinted ! I know you've been coveting this !

[@Zagoreni02A]

Forever Young!! I dont care for special releases, i just want to have the series. Darn i didn't order the original ones by Tokyopop when i was kid, and today those are expensive as hell, but now finally i have chance to get them, while i am not fan of omnibus editions (few yes, due quality) but this is not bad either, il finally get the series that is among top 5 for almost two decades to me, YEE, i am getting standard version, not the crunchy or that other one, while i would like covers to feature original artwork, as long is Initial D its all okay.

[@Bouchra_2000]

Hey, I really love your video’s! They are very thourough and helpful, coud you please make a how to collect Inuyahsa comparison video?

[@mokisan]

Subbed to your channel! Thanks for the video mate. Could you cover "those snow white notes" its a kodansha manga. Kodansha recently started translating it too

[@PachecoFOO55]

Deja Vu! 🚙

[@LightsOutAce1]

It's stuck in my head after watching this video

[@Lil_Stoned]

Where Can i buy the kinokuniya version?

[@deepweb.mp3]

eBay for 2-3x the price. I wanted it REAL bad just found out late and missed the chance to buy it for retail. It's not worth $65/$70 dollars for a brand new release imo especially since I believe only the first volume will have that Kinokuniya alternate artwork.

[@Lil_Stoned]

@@deepweb.mp3 I think the second volume in english will get also a custom cover because i saw on Ebay the japanise version from the second volume whit custom cover

[@Lil_Stoned]

@@deepweb.mp3 my problem is that i live in Gemany and i can't buy the custom version anywehre in germany

[@Budwiseirwin]

Picked this up and the ny con from kinokuniya. Are the rest of the series scheduled to release?

[@Buntz-Gyokuto]

Do you think you'll do a review on Ranma 1/2 singles vs omnibus?

[@MYTHNL90]

I wish the paper quality was better but I’m still giving it a try because of all the good stories I’ve heard

[@ak-t7d6f]

Please do Rumiko Takahashi series' such as Inuyasha and Urusei Yatsura.

[@bohus5793]

I love it but its incredibly easy to crease the spine! Any tips how to avoid this with future Omnibuses? Also, should I worry about getting it creased? I ain’t ever planning on selling any of it but it bothers me a lot.

[@Harutjun]

nice did not expect this release to come out.

[@bocanegra9133]

I Just hope the release the full series 😭

[@Kespi95]

we wore the same shirt today 😎

[@J-RS21]

Will there be more a comparison videos?

[@EduardoPinto814]

**COOL VIBRATIONS**

[@Dumballa]

Heck of a review 😀

[@UndisputedFrost]

Is there different printing of the first bus? I just bought mine and it shows 2 making it a second print from my understanding. Was wondering if there is a first print out there.

[@mrkrishop1180]

More videos plz ❤

[@nicolasmunozhernandez8838]

how many omnibuses are available??

[@Dailylifeofharsha]

Waiting for climber 😢

[@deepweb.mp3]

YES... PLEASE DARK HORSE! Apparently if Innocent sells well, there's a good chance The Climber will be released by Dark Horse. The Omnibus Collector spoke to I believe the lead of the Dark Horse manga divison and that's what he was told. He shared this information in one of his videos. Might have been a video on Innocent can't remember for sure but if you want to hear it you can find it.

[@yeejisvang]

I hope ur suspicions are correct and he releases all 24 Omnibus. Praying he does… he can have my money

[@JacobGaal]

So do the vizbigs only cover Vol. 1-36 of Vagabond and not 37? So should you buy Vol. 37 separately?

[@NilexRacing]

Are the cover variants only being made for the first volume, or will each volume have three variants total?

[@AnimeCollective]

Hey, unfortunately it looks like the alternate covers are just a volume 1 thing. Crunchyroll has the first 3 volumes up for preorder but they only have an exclusive edition for volume 1

[@MoreLikeYewTube]

I was wondering the same thing after seeing vol’s 2 & 3 solicited online. Weird choice by the publisher to only do the first volume. I love the original art variant, but I don’t want it to be the only one in the entire set.

[@kylepacunio9081]

Which manga is that? the green one on her right side at the background? it looks interesting

[@ultracat444]

Your reviews are extremely helpful... I really wonder how much you spend on books😂😂

[@maods5056]

WOOOO

[@STGSHROOM]

The Devil Z would like to race

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

Would have preferred them to release every 2 months, but at least it’s releasing every 2.5 - 3 months. Some other series have ridiculous release dates, like JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure for the last 9 years of 1 every 4 months, far too slow, but thankfully they’re now releasing them quicker.

[@ak-t7d6f]

Please do a video about Evangelion as well.

[@bryceandrewmusicofficial]

kinokuniya release should have just been the default cover

[@Voltanaut]

Babe, what's up with the black footage?

[@ghiblior]

Just curious but have or are you thinking about covering Jojo?

[@LDHedgehog]

can you do a yugioh comparison plss

[@reedwan4342]

For volume 2 and beyond, I hope they release the Kinokuniya version because l do like the original manga cover. Also, thanks for comparing Tokyopop size!

[@MessiahKnight]

Damn that's WAY TOO MANY books even in Omnibus editions....

[@JÅMESl33_900]

Whats with these late uploads ? Pls upload fast love these content 🙏🏻

[@deepweb.mp3]

You sound like a complete dick. People get entitled all the time regarding content they receive for free, it's disgustingly selfish. I get you like the videos, you probably weren't intending to be rude, and I know I'm going hard at you but I just see certain KZbinrs that stand out because it's clear they're passionate about this shit and really are trying their best. They're under constant pressure to consistenly create videos of a certain standard and maintain the quality of the content and sometimes it's gonna take longer to build out a good product if all the pieces aren't there yet. it's really gotta eat at your fucking soul when you post this video you've been working on for a while and are excited about it and GigaChad69 has the nerve to say what's with these late episodes? I need you to upload faster! This girl without a doubt works her ass off making these videos as quality as they are. You're really gonna give her shit because you're not getting your _free_ content *FAST* enough? C'mon dogg, these are real people on the other side of the screen.

[@deepweb.mp3]

This shit obviously struck a nerve with me. i'm constantly seeing certain creators I really respect that work so hard to put out extremely informative, useful, and entertaining content. It just blows my mind how self centered and entitled these audiences can act. You are one commenter out of 1000's saying this type of stuff but you were the straw that broke the camels back if I came at you too crazy and want you to know I'm speaking on theKZbin wide

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

I’ll admit the premise to this doesn’t really appeal to me, even though I really like cars, it’s just I’ve no interest in a story about them. It’s the same as sports manga, I’ve absolutely no interest in those stories at all.

[@sus-zu7wp]

if you liked cars i think you should give initial d (1998) a try, the only thing holding it back is the outdated cgi

[@apexdna]

Opposite for me. No interest in non-car manga/anime.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

@@apexdna Really, the only manga you read is about cars? And there’s more of these car manga?

[@apexdna]

@@InfamyOrDeath-__- I’ve read some non-car manga over the years, but right now I don’t even remember the last time I read one. I remember reading Akira about 20 years ago. There might have been others but I don’t remember now to be honest. As for car manga, here’s an incomplete list (and some of my favorites) from the top of my head: Capeta Countach Cross Over Rev Flat Out Ginkai no Speed Star Ginkai no Speed Star - Shutoko SPL GT Roman Jigoro Jigorou Kanojo no Carerra Kanojo no Carerra RS King MF Ghost Naniwa Tomoare - Osaka Kanjo Strut Naniwa Tomoare - Osaka Kanjo Tribe Osaka Mad Family Over Rev Over Rev 90s Private Saki Shakotan Boogie Speed Heaven SS Wangan Midnight Wangan Midnight: C1 Runner Yoroshiku Mechadock There are plenty more of smaller, obscure series.

[@MoreLikeYewTube]

@@apexdnaI’m in a similar boat. Outside of Akira, Dragon Ball, and DBZ the only mangas I’m into are car or motorcycle related. You just can’t find that kind of stuff in western comics, it’s all superheroes, crime, horror, sci-fi, etc. for the most part.

[@michaeloffgrid]

The new translation may be more accurate, but I actually feel like the dialogue flows more naturally between characters in the original. I know we're not supposed to say good things about anything Tokyopop, but that's just my take. edit: To be fair, these impressions are from the few pages you displayed.

[@jrm669mar]

The art is pretty bad, faces scary looking. Best is the cars. Funny how Fast and Furious totally ripped this off.

[@kyshro]

If you think the characters are bad Initial D… it got way worse going to MF Ghost 😂

[@apexdna]

How did F&F rip this off? F&F was based on street racing culture in Southern California at the time (late 90s, early 2000s). Drifting didn’t hit mainstream in the U.S. until mid-2000s.

[@luisgabrielramos7923]

I wouldn't say the art is bad, it just odd lol

[@apexdna]

@@luisgabrielramos7923 Odd? How? But then again, I’m a car manga reader, so I wouldn’t even have a good point of reference. In other words, art looks normal to me.

[@luisgabrielramos7923]

@@apexdna I mean, I read a lot of manga and Initial D art style is just peculiar lol no hating
