For Me, it was worthy as succesor to the series, if only Shigeno reduced his desire of underage fanservice that would made me more enjoy this series, apart from it I'm enjoying action of Kanata and can't wait for 2nd Season
Us initial d fans deserve better!!
Soo true mr trueno
All i want from MF ghost is ONE scene where takumi pulls up with an AE86 and blitzes the fastest antagonist. It would be so hype
The AE86 trueno is already dead sitting beside the tofu shop
@@Slowbaru89 any AE86 hatchback panda trueno
Which would either be the cayman or alpina and eith AE86 horsepower compared to those two cars i can say it aint happening
@@neno2754 yeah it is so unrealistic I would like it if takumi uses a gr86 or newer WRX STI
@@neno2754 Its anime, anything can happen
Small correction: The Lotus Siblings are actually called the Yajikita Siblings, and both of them don't drive Lotuses. Kakeru is the one with the white Lotus Exige, and Nozomi, the girl, is the one with the red Alfa Romeo 4C.
Yeah that's my bad. Idk why I said Lotus emeya in the video lol, I recorded this right before bed so I was probably sleepy
@@Safan118 Understandable, have a nice day.
My Personal review:
*visuals & graphics: 8/10
*Story : 2/10
*Character : -10/10
*Races : 4/10 (lacks intensity and build up)
*Immersion : 4/10
Verdict : Meh as a anime. Shit as a initial D successor.
MF Ghost makes Wangan Midnight's characters and story seem fleshed out and interesting by comparison, enough said. Also the main race takes 3 entire episodes.
Really? I heard wangan had a very boring protagonist, but is everyone else just as boring or worse?
@@ITSMRFOXY I would say it's due to how many things are cut in the anime compared to the manga. While Akio is kind of boring, it is a deliberate writing choice to highlight other characters that want to chase the Devil Z
Yea but like initial d mf g takes a look at multiple races with 40km 2 lap race and initial d looks into 2 racers who are going downhill a touge road which should take 5 minutes and is put into 2 episodes so yea
@@ITSMRFOXYwangan is actually pretty alright it isnt as good as initial d is just not as good and different type of racing so initial d fans dont rlly like it since wangan is highway racing and initial d is togue racing
Personally I didn't like it at all lol but I think I've made that clear. I posted a comment on the MFG subreddit the other day where I explained how I would change the series to address what I think the biggest problems are from a story perspective (and I got downvoted lmao) but here's what I would do to make MFG work.
The story of MFG just doesn't work because there's not enough room for Kanata to grow as a racer and as a character he's too emotionless and quiet for us to know much about him, but also the search for his dad and why he's even competing in MFG aren't particularly clear at all. There are elements there that could be tweaked to make him searching for his dad more important. Make it so instead of his mother being dead she's still sick so he needs the money from MFG for her treatment. Make him resentful of his dad for running off so he wants to confront him about abandoning his family while his mother is dying. With those changes now we have a strong character motivation, the races actually matter, and Kanata has goals that connect both the races and his personal journey. While we're at it, make Kanata more angry and emotional. We got quiet (though not at all emotionless) with Takumi, so let's have someone more similar to Keisuke as a lead to make it more distinct from ID. I'd also eliminate the "trained by Takumi in a world class racing academy" backstory because it makes him insanely uninteresting because he can just do anything and is capable of everything from the very beginning. Make him a poor kid who learned his skills street racing and is now trying to break into the elite racing class with nothing but raw skill to save his mother's life and he has an extremely hard time keeping up with these high end sports cars. This would also be good because it would feel like us as fans of initial D and street racing are "graduating" to the big leagues, something that was always talked about in Initial D, but with Kanat's family drama and new bolder personality, it also feels a lot more fresh and interesting. At this point you may be saying "this is just a completely different series now" and yeah you're right, because everything I'm changing are elements that make MFG boring. Oh and the angels no longer exist. If they absolutely NEED to exist, Ren is in her 20s now and joined the angels because she loves racing and this was the best way she could think of to be close to the action but ultimately still doesn't like it and Kanata teaches her to drive, she leaves the angels and that's how they fall in love. Also no more qualifying runs. Idk exactly how I'd make that work but ultimately I find qualifying runs really boring and as it is rn they're technically more important than the races themselves, so there should be something else. Maybe he just can pay a fee to enter in so that could add tension that he has to use money he desperately needs for his mother's treatment to gamble himself on a race he has little chance of winning and that can show us how he's fucking insane or something. Which would be endearing and cool when he actually places well. Oh and Sawatari is gone. He doesn't exist anymore.
I like some of your ideas
I have no more hopes for MF Ghost unless they retcon the entire story to be on par with what you suggested rather than just following the original crap story.
This show got me to check out Initial D and its been fun.
Iirc the anime correctly you are wrong regarding the grip to power ratio in MFG, it is grip to weight ratio.
The heavier the car the broader the tires can be. Otherwise it would make more sense to have small cars with highly tuned engines that have tons of power outpout instead of heavier cars like an Lamborghini, or Nissan GTR, which are quite heavy compared to the Alpine 110 or Lotus.
Now i want both Over Rev and My Favorite Carrera got an anime adaptation
Ive been into initial d for a long time, and this is fine. Doesnt have the same street style that i loved but its still a really good show. Are there things i dont like? Of course but still the racings really good
Unworthy. It relies too much on nostalgia and Initial D without having much substance to stand on its own two feet. It's dissapointing but at least we get eurobeat, I suppose? We should have gotten that Rally sequel that was in the works.
I think they use rock covers of some eurobeat songs used in initial d, or at least thats what i heard in a clip of a race from the series. Also, i still want the race between takumi and keisuke
i planned to watch tihs one. but kinda confused. as my starting is from wangan midnight. though I see some episode of initial D, I know those 2 kinda good. but have 0 idea about this one.
Dude, don't use the word pedophile willy-nilly.
A pedophile is someone who is sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children (kids who didn't even get to puberty).
Pedophilia is a psychopathology.
However, it is completely different to being attracted to adolescents, that isn't pedophilia, it is an _ephebophilia._
Which may be socially unacceptable today, but it is in a whole different category because it is not a psychopathology by the simple reason that post-pubescent adolescents are signaling fertility (physical maturity and pheromones), and adults are receptive to fertility signals.
So this is not just po-tay-to/po-tah-toh, it is a huge difference.
TL;DR *Ephebophilia* is about being sexually attracted to mid-to-late adolescents (post-pubescent) which _is biologically natural,_ no need to feel guilty about finding a teen attractive, but because we are living in a civilized society we recognize that it is improper for the power asymmetry and the high risks for abuse, so it is morally proper to hold our horses.
*Pedophilia* is about being attracted to _pre-pubescents,_ which is unjustifiable by evolutionary psychology, as it makes zero sense to feel sexually attracted when there is zero fertility signaling from children, this is why pedophilia is defined as a _paraphilia_ and it is a _psychopathology._
So if you find sexually atttracted to a teen, just take a cold shower.
If you find attracted to a child, seek psychological and psychiatric support.
Yes it is but I hate the angels lol
I like Kouki, but not as a character. He's quite the bad-ass driver (as Season 2 will show) and that's enough to turn the "i only date 17 year olds" into a void.
Btw i liked how you didn't say the cookie cutter "shitbox 86 running down Lambos and Ferraris" line, because that didn't happen(in the first race).
Kouki is indeed fast but there was no reason to make him a creep
@@Safan118 fr😭
@@Safan118 The anime/manga's purpose is to show that he is a creep although it is kinda null given the fanservice
Bro my favorite character is the commentator they make this anime 110 better!
I think its an ok successor , the cars scenes are plentyful and pretty damn good , the things i would change would be getting rid of the girls and adding back eurobeat ,to me it just is a lil weird watching the gt86,lotus and alpha romeo duke it out for positions, to immediately the shot of a girls ass that has nothing yo do with whats going on , id rather it be like it was when inital d was still going on we had the slieighty girls and takumis girls that was it anything else theyd be background characters or side characters, to me its the girls that really take away alot from this series like yea race queens are an actual thing i mean look at super hot with the drift king and some of the episodes include them , so my main gripe is just keep it focused on racing and then give an episode where we get to learn and get to know the drivers more and what happened for them to be where they are now just like intial d and then if they want to give us fan service go ahead , so ye , to me theirs to much of fan service and it really just makes it just seem weird,
Nitashas for me shows that peoples have no creativity at wrapping cars if this is such popular now
To us Americans, it is creepy. (Adult date in a teenager) However, to the Japanese, it's quite normal. Could be normal rest in the world🤔
Long live car lovers
cool
Corolla GR aint no regular corolla 😤
I love this show. It's just fun and i watched this first before initial d
you WHAT!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!
@@mikagamihara hey mf ghost gave me the motivation to watch initial d
👀
@@fairplaygaming4725 what?
@@djdrago9712 Go watch initial d its much better than this shit.
Did it get a new ep?
It left us on a cliff hanger
Season 2 is coming soon
I watched every episode of MF ghost at least twice, I cannot recall a single event from the entire first series. The show is just that bad that it is entirely forgettable, that tells you everything you need to know.
i recall that scene when camera man zoomed into that girl's butt.
I agree with many of your points except the races. They are the biggest downside of this anime.
Let's consider this in first stage at about the same episodes we had at least three major races. And all of them were high stake ones for example the first race exposed takumi to the thrill of racing, the third against civic was for revenge etc. and all the races were very intense .
Now come to this MF Ghost, there was just one real battle and even that didn't feel that intense like compare it to shingo's battle against takumi, no new technique are being used , the focus is constantly shifting from one participant to another, overtakes have no real weight to them.
if you want to see what i am talking just go watch first stage.
Honestly I found initial D insanely boring. I watched the whole thing but god there’s nothing in most episodes. All the races take a while for one 10 second clutch where Takumi zooms away and takes the win. I liked the fact that MF ghost is a 2 lap race and doesn’t just make the 86 overpowered.
Absolutely not worthy, the whole thing was incredibly boring and visually lacking, might as well watch trains racing.
Or watch f1
Pretty boring but as long as it has cool cars and eurobeat it's acceptable 👍
Nah but its still fun to watch until the guy with a age specific fetish came around
When I just watch episode 1 lol bro I got bored of the character but at least the racing scene is pretty dam good 💯 but it's too boring to when going to main character story😅
racing scene are not good
Not an awful show but did not live up to the hype
Wangan midnight clears both
False
Next ARC should be back to its roots
Ive been into initial d for a long time, and this is fine. Doesnt have the same street style that i loved but its still a really good show. Are there things i dont like? Of course but still the racings really good
its okay you enjoyed the anime but fact of the matter is the racing in this show is far worse than initial d.
@@bullymaguire8380 oh I definately agree. It doesn't hold a candle. But then again I don't think there's going to be anything as good as initial d coming out. They didn't even dub the final stage of initial d and I'm still raging
