Initial D fans
This will probably get booted to the OT place. But I know there are fans here.
After sitting through nearly every minute of the Initial D DVD's I have a couple of questions.
(1) What does the Title (Initial D) stand for? Does it stand for Drift, but thats not what they call it in Japanese (starts with "saya...", saw that in the extra chat show on one of the DVDs).
(2) Whats up with Mogi?? and whats the deal with the guy she calls 'Papa'? Something is up when she gets a $1000 a visit.
(3) In the end, does anyones else feel that all of this wasn't happenstance. That the whole deliveres to some mtn top @ 4am (from 7th grade) was an ultra long plan by Bunta to turn his son into the next Micheal Schumacher?
(4) What was the motor they put in to replace the one he blew up. Was it a Toyota Atlantic Race motor or some other custom TRD motor, or maybe even a F3000 motor?
(5) And does anyone else find Itesuki really annoying besides me.
Sorry for the lame questions but I just recently got my hands on all of the dvds.
thank you in advance for any help,
RR

here is the place I got them from on Ebay.
Astroboy Store
I was happy with them, and they had the most positive responses on ebay.

My wife and I were watching them, and we came to the conclusion that it wasn't a straight up sex thing it had to be even more kinky than that, something more voyeuristic, something more surreal, why else would she be calling him Papa.
After hours of Initial D, my wife turns to me and says, "A, what's Initial D mean, 2, whats with the Mogi chick, iii, can you mute Itesuki, and F, where the F are the WRX's???
I had no real answers, I was just trying to figure out where the nearest mountain pass was that had gutters. If you think about it, he did most of his spectacular stuff doing the gutter runs, so maybe it should have been called "Initial G or GutterRunner" or something.
After watching it all I was asked what I thought about it. I said, its Japanese Animation, and it has cars and racing in it.... what more do I need...... and thank god you don't have to rewind DVDs.
happy motoring,
RR

They have this thing in Japan where an older man will "subsidize" a young girl of high school age. They call it "subsidized schooling" and it's pretty common. When the girl finishes or moves on to higher education, the relationship is usually over and perv finds another young chick. I swear, I didn't believe it until I saw it.

I could almost believe that. Except for this one scene where they are discussing her plan to go to the beach, and he wants to buy her a swim suit, so he can see her in it.
She says "but you have already seen everything....you're such a pervert"
Anyway. What about the other stuff. I saw a couple pics of the Toyota Atlantic engine and it looks a little like what they drew in for the new motor, down to the long intake runners and the equal length exhaust headers.

Yeah, Takumi does get a 20V Motor nothing more... the reason its great is beacause of the 11,000 redline....
Mogi is very much portrayed as a **** but in fact it is that whole subsidized scholling thing (and if you watch 3rd stage.... Mogi's "Papa" is also the father of the kid who drives the Toyota All-Trac)....
And yes Itsuki does get very damn annoying....
By the way is everyone going to the Canyon Run on Sunday ?
