**TRIGGER WARNING** Why Wangan midnight is better than Initial D.......please don't kill me

Woah! Calm down. Yes I said something bad about Initial D, CALM DOWN!
First off, I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE Initial D. It’s an awesome show, but here’s why Wangan midnight is better.

#1: The characters

Intial D has its interesting characters, but they seem to be more of the exception. Intial D’s interesting characters seem to be less common. Like in the case of Mato and Sayuki, the interesting ones only show up for occasional episodes. Whereas Wangan has a more diverse group of characters in every episode.

#2: The cars

Wangan midnight just flat out has more variety of its cars than Initial D.
Initial D seems to follow a straightforward formula when it comes to the cars, 80s and 90s Japanese cars.

Wangan on the other hand has a WAAAAAY more diverse car roster. For example: you have a Testarosa, old Porsche, 300ZX, and the classic 240Z.

#3: Tuning

Car guys LOVE tuning and working on their cars. And for a lot of us, we get really excited when TV shows and movies about cars have an emphasis on the tuning aspect of cars. Initial D has its fair share of tuning stuff, But wangan hits it out of the park! Its got a heavy focus on how the cars reach the high speeds in the show. It gives you an under the hood look at what makes the cars so fast. And for a Petrolhead, there’s nothing better!

#4: Unpredictably

Wangan midnight doesn’t have the issue of being predictable.
For me, Initial D got really boring by around season 4. And that’s because it was predictable. It was always the same, I.E Takumi wins EVERY. SINGLE. RACE!!! Whereas Akio losses quite a few times over the course of the show. Takumi always wins by some magical bullsh!t. Which brings me on to my next point.

#5: BULLSH!T, BULLSH!T, BULLSH!T.

The way Takumi wins is uter bullsh!t.
Here’s a few examples: Gutter “technique”, God hand, headlight trick, S2000 guy getting sick, and many, many more. Even the water cup thingy. Trust me, I’ve tried it. Akio wins by sheer tallent and skill, not bullsh!t. And he also doesn’t win every race.

#6: No terrible english dubs

I don’t really think this needs to be explained.
Initial D has some truly AWFUL English dubs. Wangan is Japanese or nothing!

#7: This guy.

Itsuki……..just Itsuki
Wangan doesn’t have this clown………and that’s a damn good thing :P
