Review of Wangan Midnight

An amazing anime for those who are into Tokyo's car culture! Wangan Midnight takes inspiration from a real street-racing club: the Midnight Club, that races on the Wangan highway on Tokyo. The main character is Akio Asakura, driver of the legendary Nissan 280Z (Akuma no Z - Devil's Z) a twin-turbocharged L28 beast from the late 70s, he is a very cool guy who always skips school to drive his beloved car. His rival, Shima Tatsuya, drives a Porsche 911 - 930 (the BlackBird), which took inspiration from the Yoshida Special 930. He is a doctor who has the hobby of street racing. The story itself containsa few plot twists and unexpected scenes and it is overall very entertaining. The races are breathtaking and unpredictable!

The soundtrack might sound a little bit unusual at first, but it actually suits the racing scenes!
