Wow. Old video is old. I made this one back in 2004, while I was riding a hype train following Initial D: 4th Stage. I would say that Initial D is easily the Dragon Ball Z of car anime. New villain shows up, main character has to re-evaluate and train, final showdown occurs, main character pulls crazy unexpected stunt and emerges victorious. Lather rinse repeat for 62 seasons or so.
That aside, I love the series, and I love that lonely, crazy-in-the-head chick Kyouko. She's so nutty.
Sorry for the subtitles, I'm a weeaboo. If I could go back and remake this video (read: if I wasn't a lazy doosh) I would omit the subtitles, save for the scene where Keisuke fixes her intercooler. I feel that scene is dialogue-driven, and I would even overlay the original Japanese audio over the video for that little exchange.
Also I would not use a lame-ass font like I did. Wow. Lame.
Also by now it should be obvious where the "rotary" part of my username comes into play.
