"In 41 episodes, Initial D tells the story of a 17-year-old tofu delivery boy named Tak who suddenly finds himself caught up in the heart-stopping world of street racing. "Tak drives an Eight-Six, a street term for the Toyota Trueno AE86. When chance puts him up against street racing's most notorious driver and he actually wins the race, the lure is too much - he's hooked. Word quickly spreads about the famous Eight-Six of Mount Akina, and more and more rival racers appear to challenge Tak and his friends in a series of white-knuckle contests.
"The TOKYOPOP DVD release of Initial D will include an 'Import - Classic' version (Japanese audio & video intact) and a special U.S. 'Tricked Out' version featuring enhanced video, music, and English dialogue. Fans can 'mix-and-match' these versions, thereby customizing their viewing of each exciting episode!
"So, on each DVD, you actually get a total of 6 episodes (!) - 3 episodes rendered in the 'Import - Classic' mode, and the same 3 eps presented in the enhanced 'Tricked Out' mode"
