Trivia:
The Nissan 180SX, which Kenji drives, is a hatchback variation on the Nissan Silvia (both Japanese only cars). These cars are known in the U.S., however when the Silvia and the 180SX came to the states, they lost their turbocharged 2.0 liter SR20DET engine and became the Nissan 240SX, which was given a non-turbo 2.4 liter engine known as the KA24E. Despite the fact that the Silvia (a coupe) came with fixed projector headlights, the 240SX coupe was given pop-up lights like the 180SX due to U.S headlight regulation permitting cars with certain headlight height to be sold (for this reason, the American 240SX is also known as the Onevia, a combination of a 180SX front onto a Silvia, whereas Mako and Sayuki's Sil-Eighty is a combination of a Silvia front onto a 180SX).

I like the series ever since I was a freshman at college. Students involved in anime stuff brought different series every week to my college's student center, and one evening I was studying for some exam until I heard some J-pop music; then I peeked at the big screen there and saw some anime figures and then a super-realistic image of a 1983 Toyota Corolla GTS liftback. I thought to myself: What is this thing about? Then I saw further into the series and saw drifting cars. But the most outstanding thing was that the cars appeared photo-realistic, when I then realizes they were relying on 3D graphics to simulate the cars. That's what got me into Initial D. I attempted to rent it at my nearest Blockbuster but found it always missing (or rented out), so I never got a chance to rent it on my own until I went to Dallas TX on some coop practice and subscribed to Netflix. Then I really got my chance to rent Initial D.
But then I discovered an awful thing: The English dub by Tokyopop got rid of the series' Eurobeat-style music by m.o.v.e and instead inserted its own local crappy hip-hop by some unknown DJ Milky with no known album on the market. Solution: Whenever you start playing any episode, set it to Japanese audio to listen to m.o.v.e's awesome opening; then when the opening's over, switch back to English if you want to listen to the dialogs without having to read subtitles. Then when the episode's over and the credits are about to start rolling, switch again to Japanese to listen to m.o.v.e (eps 1-13) or Galla (14-26), then back to English to listen the next ep's preview, then repeat the same cycle for the next episode(s).
