Anime Fans! Initial D Sequal – MF Ghost

As a motor head, during my younger years, my favorite anime apart from Gundam was Initial D. It was the anime that drove me much closer to Japanese culture than when I was in my teens. Apart from all the engine roar & the heart pounding race scenes, Initial D showed a lot of Japanese culture through the daily lives of ordinary people that are sometimes extraordinary. There were scenes of joy, scenes of laughter and scenes of tears that reflects how people are in Japan.

Roughly a decade has passed since the end of the Initial D anime and a new car related anime named MF Ghost was released. At first I thought it was just another new anime that wanted to follow the footsteps of Initial D, but I quickly found out that this is actually a sequel to Initial D. A lot of the previous characters that was in Initial D actually still exists in this MF Ghost series.

Though no longer talking about illegal racing, and no longer projecting a lot of concepts in racing. The series does still project some forms of understanding in racing. This time through a competition and the reasoning behind some of the rules set in place for the competition.

Currently showing up to episode 18 as of 11th of November 2024 which is season 2 of the show, MF Ghost is a must watch for any motor head anime fans like me. Though I am finding myself suffocating as I have to wait a week for each episode to come out. If I was to do this again, I’d wait until all 24 episodes come out. I currently watch it on Crunchyroll. Hopefully, there will be more than just 2 seasons.
