initial d
I love initial d and.this was such a good price I couldnt resist! The save edition is the way to go, it has the entire season together so you dont have to pay almost the same price per disc for part season packs.
Funimation NAILED IT!!
NOTE: The DVDs are encoded in 4:3 widescreen. Meaning? The video is Letterboxed AND Pillarboxed (black borders around the screen) This is the ONLY problem amid this 5-star review

Back in the mid-2000s, Initial D was already an established property that many anime fans and car enthusiasts loved (including myself). With that much popularity circulating, it was only a matter of time before the US localized it and presented it to America.
So... US anime/manga distributor Tokyopop licensed the distribution rights to the Initial D anime as well as the manga it was based on.
In their attempt at creating an experience that could appeal to a wider audience, Toykopop did things that are totally unacceptable in today's US anime market.
* Names were changed/altered
* The original true-to-life car sounds were replaced with generic sound effects
* The Super Eurobeat soundtrack (a trait the series had become known for) was removed...
Worth the price
Awesome DVD set for the price, voices are a little goofy but it's still worth watching and enjoying, projectD is pretty righteous
