I might actually have to use this thread for reference for what to watch, eurobeat isn't even the only trashy "euro" genre I unironically want to listen on occasion.

I watched some episodes of some new'ish Initial D anime a few years back and it didn't strike terrible for me. Only then did I realize the show inhabits this weird "niche" or zone that most anime fans don't care about/just straight out hate because of the kind of culture (Well, cars and stuff around them) it is steeped in. So it feels like it's separate from rest of the anime fandom entirely.

You should just watch battle stage 1&2 which is pretty much just all the racing bits, although there isn't one for the final part.

I'm never going to experience an initial D

What about a subsequent D?

i tried reading the manga but the drawings of humans were terrible and i think that street racing is ridiculous and irresponsible. actually i don't remember why i tried reading the manga at all.

I was on drugs at the time and unable to sleep and read rather a lot of it

I remember very little

Started watching this because of the memes but surprisingly good, still holds up compared to other animes of the time.

Ya I didn't mean this was the only one. Serial Lain and Bebop also look good.

Also love it when an anime introduces me to an entire new genre of music.
