Translation:

Initial D 4th Stage ep. 1 & 2 is going to air on April 17th. Bad news is that it's going to take a long time to air all the episodes. (ep. 3 & 4 will be aired on June 19th; ep. 5 & 6 will be aired on August 21st ... etc.) There are total of 12 episodes in 4th Stage. Initial D 4th Stage is going to be viewed on a Pay-Per-View basis. Each episode is around 25 minutes in length. Brief summary of ep. 1 & 2: Takumi joined the team Project D that Ryousuke formed. Project D's goal is to beat the best racer and set a record time in opponent's home course. (both uphill and downhill) And it's ultimate goal is to conquer the whole Japan. In episode 1 & 2, Takumi will face a tough opponent from the team S.S.R - Tooru Suetsugu, who drives a Mazda Miata (MX-5 Roadster).

no theres no chance they will broadcast here ( if here is northamerica) . but chances are a fansubbing crew infact i bet, at least 5 fansubbing crews will rip this the second it comes out and release an english subbed version. Be on the look out come april 20ish or so, a couple days after airing.

[Shaolin]

[KLCC]

they are all covered in the comic books, so I don't suppose there is any suprises, I doubt they will show takumi driving a STI though. :)

Your best bet is Kazaa. Every episode/OVA/Stage is on there. Although the bulk of the second stage is dubbed in Cantonese for some odd reason, but still subbed in English.

But anyways.... the news about the 4th stage is awesome! With all that time between each episode, that means there's gonna be plenty of seeders within a week, making it for a fast download :D

[Spooned]

Well i'd honestly say just lay the cash down to buy the bootleg DVD's man.

i spent 70$ CDN to get the "best quality bootleg" (kind of a oxymoron there heh!) box set of the entire series:

1st Stage (26 eps)
2nd Stage (13 eps)
3rd Stage (the Movie)
Extra Stage (Sileighty defends Usui vs emperor team)
Battle Stage

and it was worth EVERY PENNY, oooh the sound is so crisp ^^

If you dont want to lay down the cash, forget kazaa, u may have some luck there but finding every episode is gonna be a pain in the ass. Use some good bittorent search engines and have at her.

isohunt (http://isohunt.com/torrents.php)

this is a good one i hear, but you may have to register.

hope this helps you out. Just make sure you have the whole series before you start watching. because if you have to stop half way through.... ur gonna kill urself. trust me. you want every episode for the stage you are on before you start, guaranteed you'll prolly watch the whole thing in one sitting with like 5 min breaks in between or a tv dinner.

Good luck

[A2VR6]

So true... once your watch one, your hooked for the rest. I cant wait till the Fan Subs come out for Stage 4 but i hear it wont finish airing till mid 2005.

where'd you get the bootlegs?

Ebay, there's tons of auctions. Most of them are buy it now though, set at about $65 USD, with like $14 for shipping.

[Spooned]

be careful when u go off ebay, with hkDVDs (bootlegs) sometimes you can get really horrible subtitles, basically some chump decided to used altavista's babelfish translator to translate the lines to english and then sub them on to a ripped copy and burn to DVD.

so yeah heres where i reccomend:

AnimeDiscount.net (http://www.animediscount.net/item.php?anime_id=00332)

This package is not as complete as the one i got but a bit cheaper, i think these guys are US$ tho.

Cookiejar Video (http://www.cookiejarvideo.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=3_12&products_id=184&osCsid=5e3d104caed07dba9b4b744c49ac8a62)

This is the package i got, seems like they're price has gone up i think that is USD as well.

I got a deal on mine from ordering a bulk order (like 5 series at once) so if there are at least like 5-10 ppl that want this bundle then maybe meet up with each other and email these guys and ask if they can discount you for ordering 5+ bundles.

ALSO IMPORTANT NOTE** WHEN EVER YOU GUYS ORDER: BE SURE YOU PAY FOR GUARANTEED ARRIVAL SHIPPING INSURANCE. I CANNOT STRESS HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS>>

US CUSTOMS ARE THEIVES. IF YOU DO NOT INSURE AND THEY SEE SOMETHING SMALL THAT THEY LIKE. BYE BYE. TRUST ME I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH IT. so yeah. just make sure you pay the extra $$ and get shipping insurance on ur stuff ^^ Hope this helps you all out.

also, pay attention to region codes on the dvd's most of the bootlegs are region free, but before you place an order make sure it says that ^^ enjoy

[INeedBoost]

I just watched the first episode of 4th Stage. Looks good but the subtitles was ass. Don't get the Fob2k4 fansub version, it sucks. They use works like fewl, dawg, biatch, sheit. Lots of reference to fast and furious and 2 fast 2 furious, gay. They also decide to add their own retarded comments. Stickers adding horsepower, lowering car by cutting springs. It was gross, but I couldn't help watching the whole thing.

[CKY]

for anyone looking to buy the initial d dvd sets i know a good place in calgary to get them

[buh_buh]

It's a website that gives links to torrents which are the .avi files for initial-d. You need a program called bittorrent to download it. and if you are trying to find bittorrent just google it.

Ep 1-2, 17 April 2004
Ep 3-4, 19 May 2004

Why are all your dates different than from the ones that is pictured in the first post???

Says that Ep. 3-4 is June 19, and Ep. 5-6 is August 21.

[CKY]

dates don't all matter that much, all you need to know is that they're comming up with 2 eps every 2 months and it'll take a year before they're all out

Those are the only subbers who are subbing Initial D. There is the leet-raw versions, but those aren't subbed.

It's one of the better torrent search sites. But as soon as the series is licensed in North America, they won't have it on anymore.
