Love both initial d and wangan. Initial d more about technique, overall balance, etc, while wangan midnight is about power, builts, and tuning. Both has different type of racing.
AE86 VS Devil Z. A very debated conversation but in short, the Z would outrun the 86 on the straights and destroy it on the Wangan. However, the 86 could easily beat the Z on a Togue because Akio doesnt know how to turn the Z without crashing (Sorry for the Spoilers)

@@grimmestcreaper2212 The new 400Z was announced some days ago It has manual transmission only and the design of it's based on the old 240Z hope they will make a Wangan Midnight version in Midnight blue with Watanabe RS and the interior with red recaro seats and ITB's under the hood just like the Z from this anime I know the CAI system in the Devil Z it's a six pack carburetor but the 400Z it's a modern car should have ITB's which its the closest thing to a carburetor
He’d lose, no doubt. The Wangan is a highway where your at full throttle 95% of the time. The touge, you don’t step on the throttle that much, is much less power-heavy. A different set of skills is needed for the touge and the Wangan.
Bruh he'd be demolished. The wangan takes little skill. It's all about who has the faster car the 86 would be destroyed. But if they had to take it up to the mountains then it's another story
@@toastyzzz6881 idk man but I won't call racing in Wangan takes "little skill". Driving 240-320km while swerving through traffic is no easy task. Keeping traction while turning on a high speed curve on a 650+hp car with no ABS and no TCS is just a death wish if a driver has little skills.
With Shuichi Shigeno single-handedly moving the racing genre forward... the only thing anime can do while he writes MF Ghost is perhaps go back to his older works before Initial D. WTF not make a Baribari Densetsu anime now that the technology is there to animate it in a way that doesn't look like crap???
After Initial D, I need my racing fix. Thankfully I ran into Wangan Midnight and wasn't disappointed. Both great shows.
Fr.
me too
how many seasons are in WM
They are such different genres with different race styles but if your anime car guy watching this alongside the mighty Initial D is a no brainer
is there any car anime i can watch after initial d & wangan midnight

Nah wangan midnight one should be like that: how to make a drag car that can go fast on a public highway
It's all about speed tho
İt is about speed and skill if one of those is missing you never win
Correction
Initial D: Mountain Pass
Wangan Midnight: Freeway
Your explaination is horribly wrong
I love how the OP focuses mostly on the Devil Z and Blackbird. It was really all about their rivalry no matter who came to challenge them.
People may dislike Wangan Midnigh after watching Initial D, but Wangan Midnight is a class of it's own
Well, it's not because both are about cars that they need to be compared.
@@frteck if wangan midnight was about touge races we might but its based on a diffrent racing style
@@maleforfromlegendofspyro8256 exactly.
Highway races are more about power and max speed while touge races are about acceleration/speed saving and car setup.
@@frteck yes your also right about this i was going to type these too but i was just lazy
I may like touge more than highways, but I think both are equally awesome in their own ways.
There's something about the scene at 1:14 and how it syncs up with the music. It sends chills down my spine.

Love both initial d and wangan. Initial d more about technique, overall balance, etc, while wangan midnight is about power, builts, and tuning. Both has different type of racing.
They are both masterpieces
*chef's kiss*
WM involves a ton of technique too, what I think of it as is Initial D is more about the driver while WM is more about the tuning of the car
This op makes me wanna race on wangan
