Initial D - Vols. 1-5 (2004) (5-Disc Set)

A 17-year-old tofu delivery boy named Tak drives an "Eight-Six," a street term for the Toyota Trueno AE86. Tak leads a rather dull existence until he gets involved with the street-racing scene. Each of these 15 episodes in this popular Animé features real life autos in breathtaking races. The plot generally involves Tak, the gangs who compete against him, the types of cars they drive, and how the cars handle in different environments. A bit of romance fuels the drivers' passionate competition. In addition to stunning graphics (a mix of traditional animation and computer graphics), the series fleshes out small details, such as different driving techniques.
