Review of Initial D Second Stage

Initial D is one of the most influential car animes any car enthusiast can watch. This is technically a follow-up to a review I wrote back in 2022, so this will not be an insightful review of the Initial D Second Stage itself. | If you have any interest in cars, I think this anime is a must; if you don't, watch this anime if you only particularly want to. | My life has changed a lot since my first review. In 2022, I deleted the first sentence that I was going to end up wrapped around a tree in five years because of Initial D.I'm now 19, and I'm a freshman at Northeastern University. While at Northeastern Oakland for a semester, I finally recognized how impactful Initial D is on my life and the car community as a whole. Ten minutes away from campus lies a road that hosts a diverse group of car enthusiasts. Driving a variety of cars and motorcycles, this community is bonded by one thing and one thing only: the road. With numerous curves and bends, the Touge community lives on through a dedicated group of people who race on the "track." Ask any of these people if they have watched Initial D, and 90% of enthusiasts would say yes. Initial D was the inspiration for many of the people at the Touge and is what pushed people to race their cars. Initial D is not a story about somebody with the fastest car; it is about a boy with skills and ambition. For these enthusiasts, Initial D was more than a story they watched or read, it has integrated itself as an occasional soundtrack in the background while racing.

I would argue that Initial D is one of the most influential animes, but I don't care for all the drama that comes with it. Initial D is important for car enthusiasts is what helped introduce many kids like me to Touge, and I can't express my gratitude for that enough in my life. hope to see myself in two years in something with 300 tw and on the track.
