This anime’s been out for a while, but i just found out. I’ve only seen the first episode and it’s pretty interesting. Im guessing if you like Initial D, you’ll like this one also. It’s all about the Fairlady Z. A Must watch for Vann and Pedro. Read the synopsis below:
“Based on a seinen manga by Kusunoki Michiharu serialised in Young Magazine.
The story gets its roots from the actual street racing that occurs on Tokyo`s Shuto Expressway, one stretch of which is known as the “Wangan”, literally meaning “bay side” (although it is generally used to refer to the freeway), the longest, straightest road in the entire country. Of course, there`s also lots of traffic to contend with, including a fair number of heavy trucks. Because of this, the action is inherently hazardous, and wrecks are common. Blown engines are also a frequent hazard, especially with the extreme-high power engines.
One day, Akio Asakura, a third year high school student, is driving his Fairlady Z (Z31) and is challenged by Tatsuya Shima, a doctor, in his black Porsche 964 Turbo (nicknamed the “BlackBird”). With a friend in the passenger seat and two girls in the back, Akio pitifully tries to win, but is defeated. Determined to become faster, he goes to the junkyard to buy parts for his car, when he sees a pristine, unscratched midnight blue Fairlady Z (S30) in the junkyard. Intrigued as to why such a machine is about to be junked, he buys it. He soon finds that the car is unnaturally fast due to a tuned L28 engine, bored and stroked to 3.1 liters combined with twin turbos, which produces 620bhp. He also finds that all of the car`s previous owners had unfortunate accidents in it, starting with the first owner`s death. The manga follows Akio`s various encounters, though the central plot revolves around his constant battle with the BlackBird for superiority.” – anidb.net
Starting August 12th, the price will be dropped. The Core will be $279, the Premium will be $349, and the Elite will be $449. Not bad at all. Just pray for no red rings of death.
“Instead of a standard cabinet, the game features the bodies of actual cars: Subaru Impreza WRX, Toyota GT-APEX and Mazda RX-7 (minus their engines). A ninety-inch monitor is set up in front of the car. For ¥600 (US $5), players can battle it out in one of three in-game courses.” – kotaku.com
How real can racing games get? Initial D is fun, but Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune is better!
Happy B-day to Veasna. Everyone had fun drinking the alcohol at your house and getting kicked out by the police. Too bad you have racist neighbors! Like i told you before, you would of had a shout out at the club but the DJ had no microphone. Really weird. I had fun that’s all that matters though, right?

It starts off with the hero from the classic NES game, Kung Fu. It seems like he injected some game genie cheat codes in himself because he can bust out all these crazy moves. He fights his way through random vg characters, then it shifts to other things. It’s weird but pretty funny. Whoever created this video surely has no love for Megaman though.
