gundam, especailly Zeta and the orginal, had a great story that was deep and inteligent.

Intial D is no better than Fast and the furious, but it's Japanese, so eveyone respects it for some reason.


I still don't see how someone who drifts through all the corners can beat his opponents who are all competent grip racers.

Let's look at something. Everyone bags on Fast and Furious. Yes it was un-realistic in the mechanical aspect of it but it really wasn't THAT bad of a movie if you can get over those parts. I liked it when it came out. The second one, well that was a craphole movie. but the first one wasn't bad. Especially after I figured out that the race was a mile and not a 1/4 mile. Made more sense after that. So you have to look at ID the same way. It's freaking entertainment not the Drift bible. I have to disagree with you as do a whole lot of folks in Japan. If it's such a crappy cartoon then why was it one of, if not the highest rated anime over there? Something must be cool. Someone must like it. Don't know if you are just talking to talk or a purist anime'r or just don't know what you are talking about. But how could you like drifting and NOT like the one cartoon or show devoted to it? Boggles my mind.

But we all are entitled to our opinions. If you don't like it then you don't, plain and simple. But I do and I think everryone else on here does to with the exception of a few. So bashing it kinda makes people mad.
