Welcome to the Inital
D Racing Enthusiasts world. This site is all about
the Initial D anime. If you haven't seen it, you've been missing out
on some really exciting action. Not only is this a great anime, but
one can learn a lot about the cars and different techniques of street
racing.
The
story is based in Japan on the treacherous mountain of Akina. A young
man finds his destiny on the maniacally twisted mountain roads. The
perfect union between man and machine is made. On the winding downhill
road, in rain, snow, sleet, the young man utilizes his car just like
an extention of his own body.
Forced to drive since he was 11, Takumi a high school student obliterates
his competition with his uncanny skills to manipulate his car. Takumi's
innate ability to race came from his father a retired racer (now a tofu
shop owner). His father, once renown for his ferocity for driving, teaches
Takumi to drive in a very unorthadox fashion... driving with a full
cup of water.
This anime has opened my eyes to the possibities of the human potential.
By example, this teenager was able to drive an old car like it was a
rally car. Which begs the question, as human beings, how come we do
not put our full potential into every task we have? If we did, we can
achieve anything we can set our minds to. Anything is possible.
