Initial D: Theatrical Collection is a good set for fans of the series, giving all three films on one disc and although it does have plenty of the anime tropes, I did enjoy the movies for what they are.

PLOT SYNOPSIS |
|
When an unplanned street duel launches tofu delivery driver Takumi Fujiwara into the world of high stakes street racing, the competition isn’t going to know what hit them. The son of another legendary driver, the unassuming Takumi quickly becomes the downhill racing phenomenon to beat, with a line of challengers as long as the deadly Mt. Akina road itself! There’s no time to blink. No chance to second guess your strategy. The streets of Japan become a deadly arena for an incredible battle where if you have everything under control, you’re not moving fast enough! Hold onto your breath as the legendary series that introduced the sport of drift racing to the west is reinvented in a series of new feature films that will strip the surface from the blacktops in the Initial D: Theatrical Collection (Legends 1-2-3). |
SPECIAL FEATURES – 1.0/5 |
|
Not much included except for Initial D Movies Recap & Preview Videos, Japanese Preview and Clean Closing Animation. |
VIDEO – 4.0/5, AUDIO – 4.0/5 |
| Sentai Filmworks releases Initial D: Theatrical Collection onto Blu-ray where it is presented in its original 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. Like most anime, this does benefit from an HD picture where colors are vivid and nice detail, with the occasional instances of banding that does permeate from time to time.
Each movie comes with an option of the English or Japanese DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track, which does output clear dialogue levels and some adequate depth for the car racing sequences and the ambient noises in the cityscape scenes. |
OVERALL – 3.0/5 |
|
Initial D: Theatrical Collection is a good set for fans of the series, giving all three films on one disc and although it does have plenty of the anime tropes, I did enjoy the movies for what they are. I guess this is for you if you wanted a mash-up of anime with The Fast and the Furious… |
