Post by: Brokenimage0 on November 23, 2005, 02:26:33 am
no they didnt drop it, a good idea i would think is to ask eith gumbaloom or someone from the LE staff in a PM, this way the forums are kept clear and no one really gets mad, at least i think its a good idea...dont know about gumbaloom and the rest(considering they will get the messages) but when they read this im sure they will give their 2 cents.

No ID4 isn't dropped. Real life gets in the way you know etc etc. If you're DESPERATE to see it theres always raws and we arent the only group subbing ID4...

If it'd had been dropped you would have seen a post on the l-e homepage eg "We've dropped ID4". >_>;;;;

Post by: gumbaloom on November 26, 2005, 04:15:05 pm
This is a new topic for the discussion of Initial D 4th Stage subbed by Live-eviL & Ideology.

The old topic has been locked and moved to the past projects forum as I tend to agree that it was getting a little large.

A few points to remember

1) DONT ASK WHEN THE NEXT EPISODE IS OUT - IT'S OUT WHEN IT'S OUT

2) We don't require raws, we can acquire them ourselves and don't ask us for raws, if you want them that badly try looking at Tokyotosho.

3) Please don't come on to IRC making a nuisance of yourself as thats where staff members congregate to get work done and time spent dealing with people trying to be a nuisance is less time spent fansubbing.

4) Please be considerate to your fellow ID4 fans with regards to spoilers and what not.

5) Please don't discuss other fansub groups who discuss ID4 here and compare us to them as it's unpolite to use a fansub groups forums for such things. If you want to do fansub quality comparison's please use Anime-planet's forum for that.

Regards

So put the remaining ID eps on your wishlist and maybe Santa will read it and maybe, just maybe, grant your wish!  ;D

Btw: Can somebody sum this up for me: How many eps have been aired, announced...?

but the wait of a month for them to come out (not by L-E) is almost unbearable :( sad but true, it shoul dbe aired weekly, if not daily :) but i guess that just kills the urge to see what happens next :S
Title: Re: Initial D 4th Stage - 2nd Discussion Thread
Post by: Brokenimage0 on November 29, 2005, 12:50:02 am

Title: Re: Initial D 4th Stage - 2nd Discussion Thread
Post by: NStorm on November 29, 2005, 01:28:20 pm
yeah, the wait is long, but most definitely worth it... as a show, ID is always entertaining, and the way L/E get it subbed makes it even better for the rest of us, because all the effort that goes into it really shows
Title: Re: Initial D 4th Stage - 2nd Discussion Thread
Post by: S4RGE on November 29, 2005, 10:04:45 pm
Yeah its worth to wait for new ID eps by L/E . I kill the time in rewatching the whole anime from Stage 1 till Stage 4 ep 18 ^^. At the moment I am at the extra Stage.


P.S.: Sorry for my bad English

I went and dug out my copy of NFSU2 purely to build up about 10 different variations of the ae86 and tinker with them... The only cars I can beat my track records set in the ae86 with is a highly tuned Celica or RX-7... Ironic

Then again, considering I can run an almost flat 51 on the second longest U.R.L track (Not the airport ones) with the ae86... Gives you some idea :P
Title: Re: Initial D 4th Stage - 2nd Discussion Thread
Post by: CooBlueDAB on November 30, 2005, 06:16:13 am
haha, yeah NFSU2, and GT4 help, but it is so hard to use the 86, either version.. in GT4... however, its a nice challenge in that way.

In fact all the NFS U2 world records are made with AE86. Except the drift challenges, their records are made using the Golf GTI.
A little bit unrealistic but still great fun! I prefer a plain black GT-R with xenon lights. Looks menacing in the night :)
Title: Re: Initial D 4th Stage - 2nd Discussion Thread
Post by: e30ernest on November 30, 2005, 01:02:35 pm
I'm really not a fan of the NFS Underground series.  I still prefer playing Gran Turismo.  It's a bit harder to drift the cars at GT4 though.
Title: Re: Initial D 4th Stage - 2nd Discussion Thread
Post by: Elchfaenger on November 30, 2005, 01:47:21 pm
If I had a PS, i would also prefer to run the Evo IX on Tsukuba or so... :'(

Btw: Since this is a ID topic I want to ask something about the series: In the uphill race, Keisuke vs. the supercharged AE86 , there is something like "Approved vehicles only" written on the road. What does that mean? Is there some test the japanese cars have to pass? And are there roads for unapproved cars too?
Title: Re: Initial D 4th Stage - 2nd Discussion Thread
Post by: Brokenimage0 on November 30, 2005, 04:23:58 pm
well there is tests that there cars have to go through biannually but thats for efficency and what not, i dont really know much about it...as far as the sign goes....beats me
Title: Re: Initial D 4th Stage - 2nd Discussion Thread
Post by: Dapprman on November 30, 2005, 11:15:16 pm
At least a number of the races across the various series have been on new roads - perhaps this was one of them - with the authorised vehicles being the engineers.

Post by: Dapprman on December 08, 2005, 11:14:04 pm
I picked up the latest issue last April (2005) while in Japan and in it Takumi is racing a Honda S2000 so I htink it's safe to say the manga is beyond that point.

Post by: DARCnarc on December 09, 2005, 09:43:56 am
yeh its just the translated manga thats not up to date with the anime, really annoyin too as used to be ahead of it but a few month ago releases just completely stopped.
The manga is a really good thing to read before the ep too as it has much more detail that the anime streamlines so as to fit more in in a ep
Title: Re: Initial D 4th Stage - 2nd Discussion Thread
Post by: Elchfaenger on December 09, 2005, 10:12:19 am
A few month ago? Inane Scanlations released ch 364-366 on november 13th... They just introduced god arm and god foot so they are in fact on chapter ahead of L-Es translation.

Howdy! I'm new to this forum. I'm not quite sure about this. I have the manga up until volume 31 and in the manga, takumi raced the S2000 before Keisuke racing the r34 GTR. And at the end of volume 31, Keisuke was still racing. So for those who read the manga, Takumi had finished the race and it's now Keisuke's turn.

19 is downloading fine for me... But then again I'm using very non standard BT settings on Azureus, since some trackers I use refuse connections on default ports, so I've mapped alternatives.

So far I've had no issues, bar trying to get an earlier episode and it told me "This file is not on this tracker"... So not sure what's going on there

I asked this question on another thread, but why is episode 19 actually episode 17? ??? I thought it was some fluke and checked the filename: its 17! However on the download page and BT it says its episode 19.........what gives? Guess I'll never know what happens before episode 20........ :(

Trust me....I am not crazy here..... its 17. This is what my file info says:

Torrent name:  [L-E&IDE]_Initial_D_Fourth_Stage_Ep_19_[58C235E4].avi

 Announce url:  http://tracker.scarywater.net:443/announce

      Total size:  175MB, in one file

          Save in:  F:\Anime Shows\Initial D Fourth Stage\

      File name:  [dp&WD] Initial_D_4th_Stage_-_17[E2DCCDF9].avi

I wish I knew how to screencapture this, but I'll figure out how soon. I even renamed the file and tried to download it again and this is what I get. I'll remove the torrent from my dowload and try to download it again in another folder to see if I get the same results.

Hey guys, I just registered. Been watching Initial-D by LE&IDE for a while and always wait for their releases. LE&IDE: you guys do a great job and I appreciate it very much.

Now, the real reason I registered. I have converted these last 4episodes into PSP format. They're 100mb each. With LE&IDE's permission, I wouldn't mind releasing these episodes for the rest of the public.
If you would like for this to happen, please show your interest.

don't want them any smaller. having a small memory stick is no reason to sacrifice quality.

Finally I managed to get the new eps and watch at least the first battle, so no cliffhanger for me so far ;D
It was just great to see the GT-R vs. RX-7 in action, both cars were absolutly beautiful!!! It was a bit annoying to see the Skyline with wrong backlights in ep 19 and 20, but fortunately they fixed it in ep 21, this was the only thing that really bothered me.
And is it just me or have they returned to really extreme drift angles like in stage 1?
Anyway, great work L-E, but wasn't expecting less from you ;)
Thx a lot!

Initial D: 4th Stage ends at episode 24.

Newtype magazine's website gives the episode descriptions for eps 23 and 24, and episode 24 is marked as the final chapter. (http://pc.webnt.jp/anime/disc_base.php?oid=580216) The avexmode website still has that "and more to come" thing after eps 23/24, but they're terrible about updating their website anyway -- it'll get removed in due time, I'm sure.

For those that are curious, Takumi's race against Joushima ends in ep 24 (I'm not saying how, but it's in the description). The episode description gives no mention of anything that happens after the race.

But my japanese is still very poor.

Learn to read Japanese and import the manga (hah!)  The reason they're stopping the series is because they've practically CAUGHT UP to the manga. They need to stop for a while to give the manga a chance to pull ahead and actually CREATE some story to animate.

True. I don't know much about manga licensing, so no idea if they automatically acquire the new chapters as they come out or only have the license up to a certain point. But it's probably the former, so yeah. Scanslations are for 'tards regardless of whether the manga's licensed or not.

Initial D stage 4 ends at episode 24.

The reason why they stop is because they caught up to the manga.

Episode 24 ends at the start of volume 32, wich is the latest manga to have been published.

So looks like we will have to wait a year or two for initial D fifth stage.

You can get the raws for episode 23 & 24 here

They had a sprinter in the workshop today, didn't look anything like the AE86, so not sure what model it is, but it was running rough as anything, had a team of Apprentices trying to fix it as part of their unit for the day... So much fun sitting there watching them bitching about it

Hei2 easy man, whatever it is just let LE finish their work. okay.

They have their own power what to do with this anime.

Maybe they can stop to subbing the ID, just b'cuz the problem with the ID fans.

ID have a many fans, even me and my cousin.

So this is a big job for LE to make all the ID fan(who don't understand a japanese language)  happy with their subs.

People in LE is human after all, they have their own activity to do, maybe their time is to tight to complete the subs in short time.

All you have to do now is wait, when the subs release don't forget to post 'thank you' to LE.

Maybe I'm a noob here, but I'm just like the others, until now I'm still waiting for the subs.  ;)

p/s sorry for my bad english, maybe I should refer to thesaurus when I type this post.

 ::) If you read back in the other thread already created for discussing ID4 you'll notice that yes ep 24 is infact the last ep of 4th stage.  This is because the anime has caught up to the manga in japan.  Most likely once more of the manga has been released there will be a new season prolly in a year or two.

ID fans are sure used to get cliffhangers, but this time its slightly different. Takumi is in advantage. I can't remember something like that. Usually when he passed his opponent the race was over and all the tension gone, but this time it seems there is  something different coming up. I'm eagerly awaiting the conclusion of the stage

Yup!  I too want to send my late thanks for the release.  I just finished dowloading it.  It was worth the wait. :) 

I'll be waiting for the next one too.  Until then, nice job folks!

Post by: Elchfaenger on March 31, 2006, 11:14:07 am
naa, I can't imagine Takumi losing now. One Ep is too little time for that  ;) And there is still the battle with his father waiting. I don't think he will lose till then.
But he might be pressured to develope a new trick since he already used his whole repertoire and his opponent wasn't too impressed. Or maybe it'll end in a draw? That would be a good way to keep the fans excited

Yo, I've been meaning to post this for awhile, but I saw the raws of eps 23-24. I'm not gonna give anything away, but I have to say, I think "Eldorado" by Dave Rodgers is definitely the best song on this next set of tracks. I kinda didn't like it at first, but it grew on me.

Just figured I'd throw that out there, anyone with a different opinion?

They choose their music well, just wish at times it was a little more rock orientated. If anyone here's seen Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children... The highway chase scene, that sort of style

Then again, I listen to just about anything, but their second CD they released is the better of the two for 4th stage

Are we all waiting for Initial D to be licensed now? Episode 24 came out on March 18th? 23 days ago today. (Is it a joke that you are going to make the 24th release on the 24th day? I wouldn't laugh)

It's all been good high quality work and, yeah, other groups subbed it WEEKS ago, but I thought the point of fansubs was to let us watch them while they are currently not planned to be released in the US. Then you supposively expect us all to actually buy the dvd's if it is (which this is a near guarentee for this anime) after it's licensed? So why then do we wait so long for a "high quality" release? Why would I want to buy the dvd if I already have a copy of your such high quality fansubs burned right here and now?

You have two new "high quality" releases a week from your group alone. You've admitted before that not many who work on these are big fans of Initial D, but at least show the pride for your group a little more by releasing within a decent time period. It's embarrassing that you've done 23 episodes, but still can't get your act together for the very last one. It's only become worse. You even threaten delays if we speak out about it. How can you negatively reinforce a punishment that you've pushed on us all along? You didn't have to even fansub them (especially since your not even real fans). Other people who were real fans were forced to fansub them after you knocked out competition for the project in the beginning. Back then, you got the subs out perfectly within a week. That was where your true support came from and why the forums for ID have died now. Just look at the new thread post number

No ID4 isn't dropped. Real life gets in the way you know etc etc. If you're DESPERATE to see it theres always raws and we arent the only group subbing ID4...

-gumbaloom

Your real life got in the way is understandable. I'm sure that the other projects suffered as well, ne? All I read into it is a lot of apathy.  I'll check back in June to see if you decided to start on the time by THEN. People have learned Japanese enough to get the gist of the episode in the time it takes you to get out an episode. At least your educating others right?

You'll have to help me understand how you can piss and moan about something that is absolutely and totally FREE. These have no obligation to you or any of the people that DL their work and enjoy it. They could walk away from ID and not suffer consequence one.. in fact it would free up more resources for their much neglected personal lifes. Especially considering (as you said) they aren't all that big of fans of the series.. so why do they do it... for US people who ARE fans and appreciate their work. Seems like its out of the kindness of their hearts to me. So why don't you learn some patience and show some gratitude instead of getting all whiney fanboy and making the rest of us look bad. I for one appreciate the ever loving crap out of L-E and Thank them for their underappreicated labors.

Other major fansubbing groups were looking to pick this up and do a better job with it that L-E ousted in the beginning. Now we have these one or two other fansub groups trying to pick up slack that are comprised of one or two people at the most who do it within two weeks themselves without even having to worry if L-E is going to release their own first. Thats embarrassing.

L-E wasn't just sitting there, oh look, here is this anime (not unpopular in Japan or the US, I mean its pay per view there) that no one seems to want to fansub. Guess I'd better bite the bullet on this one. I would be one to bet they wanted the recognition and thats why they made the series so high quality and quickly in the beginning. Not because they liked it, but mostly to show off. Feel free to show off again guys and finish what you started.

I was waiting too (patiently, because like them, I have a life outside of this), but after hearing you whine about it and continue to try and make them do what you want.  I almost want them to say nope, because of you, we have it subbed, and are not going to release it ever.  Or better yet, just keep quiet about it to piss you off even more.  Out of the thousands of people that wait, you are the only one causing trouble now and complaining.  And your comment about not buying the retail when it comes out because LE is perfect... is the best arguement for not completing their fansub collection, so you do buy it when it is available to give credit to the anime you so love... but apperantly do not want to pay for or endorse.

L-E has not mucked things up, IMHO. To be honest, L-E staff is just apathetic to it in general. Other projects have priori. I mean, when you have a 3 man FAN operation, things can go pretty smoothly, as they all LIKE WHAT THEY ARE SUBBING. Honestly, I don't have much against cars (Infact, I drive one too :o :o) but when there aren't any fans of the show subbing it, Lethargy and sloth can really hinder things.

Or basically

That's my point and thats why my argument is with L-E. Real fans could have done a much better job. Why even start fansubbing an anime if your not a fan? They just don't care about it and shouldn't have hurt the ID scene with their apathy to begin with. Too immature of fansubbers to even care about the real fans of them and the series. If your trying to be a role model, you don't tell everyone you care about that they can shove it because you don't care about them. Show some sympathy to the fans or their won't be any left as it seems to be the case here.

Make me. I will go away when L-E comes through on their claim with the release of the final episode or an apology for being lethargic.

    * Initial D 4th Stage
      - Episode 23-24 - Timing raws made, awaiting translation

Its a current project. It is too bad that it went from 14 episodes to 24 episodes. It's also too bad that it seems L-E is going to be waiting for a licensing announcement. The series is over... It doesn't take a month to translate, especially when other groups have halfway done the work for you. I don't see a real excuse as it shouldn't take a large chunk of time by this point. I really don't expect an apology. I don't think they deserve my gratitude for claiming to accomplish something thats been already been done twice over by now. It was nice to try, but so much time has been wasted that it ruined it for the people that should matter: the fans. I.E. Not the people who are hanging around the forums here with nothing better to see or say but anything that can get their post count up. I am ashamed that L-E sucked the excitement out of the scene and don't have any regrets. It's ok if you don't like the series, but it's not ok to ruin it for others and allow the spread of prejudice. L-E asked for these complaints to happen when they started the project with such weak real intent. Don't bribe the fans to be quiet with delays, its too akin to locking your dog outside for weeks at a time for wanting the attention they've come to expect. That dog didn't know any better because it longs for what it misses and came to expect. Just don't expect that dog to be man's best friend when it gets all the attention it could wish for from the girl next door.

cyberphunk, I think you've pretty much exhausted this topic of conversation.

I feel no need to defend anything Live-Evil has or hasn't done simply because there's nothing to defend. Because L-E has no written mission statement, there is absolutely nothing to hold them accountable for.

Did L-E stop someone else from fansubbing this show?  No.
Has L-E promised a release date?  No.
Will bitching or trying to guilt trip people bring about a release faster?  No (apparently, you must not have liked the show since you seem to want it delayed further).

If you've already seen the episode, I don't know what you're bitching about. Other fans don't need you to attack L-E to grant them their non-existent right to download illegal material in what you evidently consider a more "timely" manner. In essence, you've stood up and said your piece. Now shut up and sit back down.

Go finish your paper and stop distracting everyone else (ie. me) from writing theirs.

Post by: gumbaloom on April 12, 2006, 06:17:59 am
Ya know Cypherphunk you REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY try my patience at times.

So whats the deal you might ask with ID24?. Theres a timed and edited script sat on an ftp somewhere but as you already know theres a rendition of Rage your Dreams at the end of the ep. I've been waiting for someone who shall remain nameless to karaoke time it and then for someone else to karaoke style it before I as the last piece in the jigsaw actually do the rest of the typesetting and encoding.

Now you're gonna turn round and say to me "YOU DO IT COS ITS YOURE DUTY TO". Like umm NO. I never asked in the first place to be the typesetter and encoder for ID4 but I agreed to do it for 2 reasons.

1) Cos it was there and it needed doing and I hate seeing stuff being left to rot
2) Cos someone asked me nicely if I'd do it and like ya know - fansubbing is a team thing and whilst ID4 ain't my pet project you help each other out on stuff you like cos you know that when you have something that YOU want to see fansubbing those people will reciprocate the favour.

I'm not gonna karaoke time the song myself because I'll be honest I don't like MOVE and I do enough kara timing as it is for my Sailor Moon projects without having to kara time a song I don't like. Now the wordings of your posts suggest that you EXPECT and DEMMAND that I karaoke time it in spite of all that.

My response to that is NO. Yeah I might typeset the show, yeah I might encode it but I'm not gonna bend over backwards to do kara timing which would make my eyes bleed. And ya know I was actually thinking of doing it myself just because I want the ID4 raws off my hard drive but after this performance I'll just wait for the person who said they'll do it to do their job.

If I wanted to be a real sh*t I could just say blow that and delte the filter raws off my hard drive without a second thought and say screw the ID4 fans. But noooo the fansubber in me says keep them till the shows ready for me to typeset :c.

Exactly, see, just what I said. I feel bad for you guys. In all honesty I would NEVER undertake a project such as this simply because of the way people treat you guys. A thankless job really. At any rate "THANK YOU!!!!"  for kicking ass and being free. Take as long as you like. and Cyberphunk, It is utterly baseless to complain about a service provided without charge or obligation.

I'd just like to say that L-E have done an absolutely great job up to this point, so it's safe to trust that they will follow through and do it all. They openly admit and accept that they sometimes take a long time, so stop complaining about it. If they had said it'd only take a couple days, then there'd be some reason to complain, but even still, not much.

They do it out of their own time, for free. Be thankful that there are people willing to do that, otherwise you complaining people wouldn't have any fansubs to watch at all.

I have watched these forums for quite a few months now, if not a year.  I have never felt the need to post.  Hell, I only just registered for this one comment. 

To cypherpunk:

If you have a problem with the subs that LE is doing, there are several positive things you can do.  Complaining like you have been is not one of them.  You make yourself look like an idiot and annoy all the rest of us that read your filth.  I suggest that you either A) Find another sub group and leave LE alone.  Or B) Do something to help.  Learn Japanese and how subbing is done and join the group or make your own or whatever.  If you say you don't have the time, then you should make it a priority.  Don't be the neighbor that complains about his neighbor because he didn't use his snowblower to clean up your driveway.  LE are our neighbors znd our friends.  Remember that.  If you don't want to be a good neighbor find a new block.

To LE:

I, like the rest of the silent majority, truely appreciate what you do.  I have been a fan of Initial D since before 2nd stage came out.  If not for subbers like yourselves, I may never have known how good of a show ID was and, more importantly, how good it still is.  As I type this I am waiting for my box set of all 24 eps from Stage 4.  I own all the other stages on DVD.  Even though I have watched them subtitled before the DVD's were available.  Because of amazing people like yourselves, anime has become a mainstream thing halfway around the world from where it comes.  I live in Pennsylvania and am literally on the other side of the world from Japan.  From the hard work of yourselves and others anime has prospered.  Because of people like you, Japan can continue making their huge variety of shows.  So thank you LE for keeping anime a prospering business.

Post by: bullz97 on April 12, 2006, 10:32:02 pm
Yeah, I realized today before I can back to the forums to read the replies that I had most definately pushed the topic much too far. I was overly upset from the expressed lack of attention Initial D was gettin especially since people in the forums didn't even seem to care any longer. I understand that you have troubles and me acting like a dirt bag was inappropriate. It's really aggravating watching people talk about something they say their going to do like they don't care about their work especially when they can admit so easily that they take such a long period to complete it. I realized that this definately isn't the case for all of your other releases and didn't have any good explanations for what was going wrong. No one can say that L-E does a half done job and I do appreciate what you do. Thank you for the explanation. I apologize for being so out of line, that was my pent up frustration being released since I could not explain it away. I've known you didn't owe me anything and I was frustrated that it seemed like people weren't feeling that they owe it to themselves who planned to work on this.

Thank you for subbing this for the rest of us. I'm ashamed that more fans don't have the ability or determination to help out. Gumbaloom does the best she can I believe and it shows. I wish the whole project hadn't come so ridiculously pulled apart during its operation. Maybe I'll create my own screenname here if you begin to sub a different anime I enjoy and thank you for the answers to my frustration.

"Freaky Planet" is first, then "Disco Time", "Raimei -out of kontrol-", and finally "Angel Eyes".  They released the four singles over the last four months of 2005, then released the album "GRID" in January.  Each had a CD+DVD option that included the music video on the DVD; the album has all four put together as "Crossing Trail ~Road Movie Completed~".

You can buy them at either of these sites:

Yes,

You guessed it sports fans. The end has finally come. The APOCALYPSE HAS ARRIVED!!!!. Live-eviL and Ideology after 2 years finally releases episode 24 of Initial D 4th Stage. So well let’s get the juicy stuff out the way first.

It’s available on XDCC at #live-evil or #ideology on irc.enterthegame.com or available via bittorrent at http://a.scarywater.net/live-evil/ .

File Info -

MD5 hash - 40b5461cfeaecaf07aa4c50303aa6db8

File size - 183754752

CRC - E738367C
Now for the customary end of project rant. Initial D 4th Stage has certainly not been an easy project to work on for a number of reasons. The two main ones being the high turn over of staff on the project. A number of different typesetters and encoders have worked on this show and generally life has just got in the way and this certainly hasn’t gone down too well with certain aspects of the ID4 fandom who so rabidly desire their fansubs. To past ID4 staff we thank you for your work but in particular I’d like to take this opportunity to hightlight the work of EclipseZeta and Yoten who’ve been with this project from the start as translator and editor. Those guys made ID4 what it was, the rest of us just made it look pretty. I hope all of you ID4 fans will express your grattitude to them for sticking through ID4 through thick and thin through all of the staff changes and sometimes fighting what seemed like an uphill struggle to get the eps released.
The other problem has been dealing with certain elements of the ID4 fandom whose conduct towards fansubbers in terms of how demanding they are to get their fansubs has been less than desireable and so at times this has created tension between us and the fanbase in general.

To our patient and loyal fans who’ve patiently waited for our subs, we thank you for your patience and consideration during the past 2 years. However whenever 5th Stage anime gets made we’d urge the Initial D fandom to be a lot more considerate to whichever fansubber takes up the gauntlett of subbing a fifth stage.

Now that 4th Stage is finished we’d like to encourage anyone who has only watched our ID4 subs to perhaps try out some of our other shows like Leiji Matsumoto and so on. Theres plenty more anime out there for you to watch while you sit out the long wait for 5th stage.

Enjoy ep 24!

Regards

I'm somehow relieved that the endless fight about releases being too late or whatever has come to an end.

Hopefully they don't start asking "When will there be a 5th stage? Will L-E be subbing it?" I wouldn't be surprised if they don't do it. Couldn't blame them...

Anyway, big thanks to gumbaloom for keeping his cool and finally releasing ep 24! Applause!!

The other videos are not really related to ID, the third is by far the best.

Considering how close ID4 is to the mnga I think you'll havea LONG wait till you see any sort of 5th stage. There needs to be enough manga for them to actually animate and at the rate hat manga volumes are being released it'll be 2 - 3 years efore that is the case.

As for L-E and IDE subbing it? At the miute I would say thats out of the question unless some car fanatic fansubbers who join the staff somehow persade a translator to tl it come the time.

The majority of the staff are rather jaded about ID4 now because of all the grief we've had to suffer from some elements of the fanbase over the last 2 years. Also most of the ID4 staff bar EclipseZeta(the tl'er) and Yoten(editor) has changed many times from the original team who decided to sub ep 1.

So well yeah :e

Hey, just started downloading the last episode of ID4 -- Thanks again live-evil, you guys rock!!

So, I just have one question, since it's probable that 5th stage won't be out for awhile, and since Tokyopop's release of Initial D seems to be catching up the Japanese Anime, does that mean what I think it means? As in, do you think they'll licsence ID5 and bastardize it with their 'Tak" "Ry" and crappy hip hop music before anyone, namely Live-evil can sub it correctly?

Just throwing that out there for speculation....
Title: Re: Initial D 4th Stage - 2nd Discussion Thread
Post by: gumbaloom on April 22, 2006, 01:26:30 am

There is NO NEWS WHATSOEVER about a fifth stage. Give it a year or two for the manga to race ahead again. THEN start speculating.

Till then leave off the "what if tokyopop did this...." speculation kplsthx

Thanks for all your hard work LE. We all know it was rough times releasing this series but I for one can say that waiting for each episode was well worth it. Hopefully we all will be back here anxiously waiting for each LE subbed version of 5th stage down the track ;)

Renmazuo: Personally, I couldn't care if they do the whole gangsta thing with the dub because i'll just stick to the Sub, I have gotten too used to their voices to change now :D

This forum is luck (or unlucky) to have such a lenient mods, try going to other forums and asking for when is the ep going to come out or "why so Late", and you'll be banned instantly.

Post by: Renmazuo on April 25, 2006, 03:41:48 pm
Okay, I was just thinking this today, and I'm wondering if anyone would like to expand on this.

Did anyone ever notice that in the second episode of ID: First Stage -- Keisuke says in disbelief something to the effect of "My FD lost to a 10 year old 86." I think that the chassis AE86 for the Trueno, Levin and Corolla lasted until 1987 at the latest. That places Initial D first stage in roughly 1996-1997 time period. Through 4th stage, only one year has gone by. So why is God Arm driving an S2000? According to the time period, that car shouldn't have come out yet.

Not to start knockin' Initial D, cuz any movie, or television show, be it great or crap always has some discontinuity in it, and this doesn't change the fact that I still think that ID is a great show.
Title: Re: Initial D 4th Stage - 2nd Discussion Thread
Post by: Elchfaenger on April 25, 2006, 05:56:00 pm
I think you can't rely on that comment of Keisuke, because you wouldn't say " I lost to an 11 year and three month old AE86" or something like that, especially when you are angry. So the 10 years are just a rough estimate.

To me, Initial D takes place in present time, more or less. That would make sense, since the S2000 came out in 1999 and God Arm wouldn't race that perfectly in a brand new car.

Same goes for God Foot: he drives an Nissan Skyline Gt-R V-Spec II Nür, which came out 1999 as well.

I'm not sure about this, but the Mazdaspeed bodykit on Keisukes FD is pretty new too. It might be from 2005
Title: Re: Initial D 4th Stage - 2nd Discussion Thread
Post by: hellbent on April 26, 2006, 03:11:05 am
Elf is sorta right. ID might take place possibly 2000 or 01.

However the u said MazdaSpeed bodykit. But it aint. THe bodykit on the FD is an RE-Amimeya bodykit used in the SuperGT (formerly JGTC) GT300 Aspara drink Re RX-7. And yes its a real bodykit, if you can find one in the U.S. expect to pay around 9000-10000 for the kit. And yes its expensive because it works, it increases the FD downforce by multitudes (otherwise RE wouldnt use it on their race car), Unlike the crappo bodykits u see on Civics.
The Rims however are MazdaSpeed rims, that are now discontunied, if you can actually find them, expect to pay up to $5000 for the set.
Initial D has alot of things that are real, Takumis Rims are Watanbees, his Tach is a Sampson tach, also now discontunied and hard to find.

Dont be surprised next time when you see a real car with something that you saw on Initial D. The Author takes his time researching his shit.

Post by: Dapprman on April 28, 2006, 06:55:30 pm
The body on Keisuke's FD3 went through 3 itterations.

Originally it was a 1992-96 car (in 96 the rear lights changed amoungst other stuff).

Next it got the Mazdaspeed A-Spec body kit, wheels and bonnet.  Finally it go the Re_Amemiya Wide wheel arch body kit and non-pop up head lamps, but kept the Mazdaspeed wheels and bonnet.
