next initial d series?

[trueno is the way]

so does anyon know if there are plans for a 5th series of initial d

i am gagging for more

[Mux213]

Hahaha, the question on all initial D fans mind

Search on initial D world on google, there some info there. In a nutshell, the TV series is based on the strip series. The strip series currently is only 2 'episodes'/'books' whatever their called ahead of the TV series and there is one book comming out every half year. So it will take a year or two before there is enough comic book written before there is enough material to continue the TV series.

The only option for making a 5th stage at the moment is to do a TV series that is no longer based on the comic books.

hmm that is true

you know what program makersare like though

if they are onto something hot and no material then lets just make some

saying that with Naruto they are having to make stuff up untill the actual Manga is a whle ahead

Hmmm,

I wonder if that will work with initial D. From what I know the writer of the series has alot of artistic control over the TV series and the series has a very loyal fan base that may not tolerate such an act and I think they know that.

That said, what probably would work is a spin off series, whow knows a series about the Sil80 or about Wataru's levin... There is great potential there with great freedom. Heck might be nice idea for fan project even

They already did that with the Sil80: Another Stage was never in the comic book. However SS may have had some story writing on that one... Should find the episodes and have a look

Banpei, that was just one ep they should do a whole run of series. man I just wanne go and watch the whole damn series again.. rats...

I know... But it was more or less to indicate the directors already decided to do a story on their own.

But I've looked up the progress on the manga and I just saw volume 33 for sale which means it took 9 months to create volume 33. In this rate it will take another three years to make a new stage.

Theres been talk on the fith stage. supposedly its gonna be another movie - like the 3rd stage.

[Mux213]

That kinda makes sence
