Overview
The story gets its roots from the actual street racing that occurs on Tokyo's Shuto Expressway, one stretch of which is known as the "Wangan", literally meaning "bay side" (although it is generally used to refer to the freeway), the longest, straightest road in the entire country. Of course, there's also lots of traffic to contend with, including a fair number of heavy trucks. Because of this, the action is inherently hazardous, and wrecks are common. Blown engines are also a frequent hazard, especially with the extreme-high power engines.

I recommend watching it!
Even after Initial D
The plot is coordinate-wise different from Initial D, but it's also interesting.
Yes, you won't hear specifics, speculations, or in-depth discussions about cars here, but that's not what this series is about.
I'm already watching the third episode.
The plot is mystical and interesting.
Poor drawing (the characters are often almost impossible to distinguish from each other), boring and improbable dialogues and the plot as a whole (especially annoying as all the female characters who want to ride in the car of the main character just get behind the wheel and drive away, later get into an accident without any consequences). When discussing cars, everything was pretty rotten in terms of the technical part, although without any special mistakes.
In general, I do not recommend it.
