(No Spoilers, but being honest you likely watched the First Stage so if I had any it wouldn't matter to 99% of watchers) This Movie has the Nakazato Nissan R-32 GT-R and Shingo Honda Civic EG-6 Arcs of the First Stage of Initial D. Everything is the same as the TV show, with a major upgrade to the visuals (Full 1080P visuals with Widescreen support), which look like a mix of 3D rendering and drawing of the vehicles in many race scenes and it looks amazing. This does not even include the major bump up in visual quality of the characters, and in my opinion this artstyle and designs for characters look better than that of the Initial D Final Stage and fit in better with the original art style of Initial D, from both the Manga and the First Stage of Initial D.

Although there is a lack of Euro-beat, that doesn't constitute a bad rating to the movie on its own (-1 to rating though because euro-beat is cool).

There is also more lack of Mogi arc to the show, but to be honest I didn't see a decrease in quality to the story, and although shortened, it still is okay.

Besides that nothing changed, I really enjoyed it and you will likely too.

Tip: Turn on euro-beat in the background of the movie during race sequences to get that classic Initial D feel.
