I kinda hate Initial D, Takumi is such a boring character who can never lose. Shame because I like everything else.

I enjoyed Wangan Midnight way more, theres even a section where the MC has to work lovely jobs for months on end to fix his car.

There are quite a few other series about cars that look cool, but I can never find translations for them. Shakotan Boogie looks extrememly my poo poo and same goes for Over Rev looks like Initial D but with more interesting Characters

I will concede that Takumi is probably not the greatest character but I still like the series as a whole. (when it's not being slightly creepy about women)

I still need to watch/read more Wangan though, I only saw the first few episodes a very long time ago.

They could've made the series focus on Keisuke getting on dunked by Takumi and learning to be a better driver. Because honestly he felt like he got more character development than Takumi.

Or maybe have him at least lose a few races (apart from the single one where his engine explodes) so then at least it feels like he comes back and learns something idk.

Wangan is a bit more focused on the cars themselves rather than racing, which is why I kinda enjoyed it. It's more about people who love to drive fairly loving fast on the C1 loop and their cars.


shakotan Boogie looks pretty fun from this blog post
