Anime Review: Initial D 4th Stage (1-24)

So the last episode of the Initial D 4th Stage has come and gone. I admit, I tore through the episodes about as fast as I could to get my dose of racing action and to a certain extent things felt a little hollow. Sadly I think the best parts of Initial D as an animated series were found in the first two seasons. The 3rd Stage movie was OK, and 4th, though certainly more race focused didn't seem to have a good balance that made it reachable.

*SPOILER WARNING*











Now I'll admit the ending leaves me to wonder if a 5th stage really will be in the works. I've read a few rumors that it is indeed going to happen but nothing official (press releases what not)

Since only the Sub was available that's what I watched, and it was refreshing to hear the real VA's. I do admit though it makes you realize how odd the Tokyopop dub is of the first two seasons. Bunta's voice does seem to make sense on both versions.

If you're a car buff, or a just like action, male oriented anime, I'd definitely look into the 4th stage (be it in subbed or hopefully in a few years dubbed)
