    You can also skip this one, refer to my review on Battle stage 3 It was terrible. I cannot believe such an atrocity ended the beloved Initial D series, though it is probably for the best. Any Initial D outside of the main Stages are quite bad in my opinion. Non-Canon events generally have no weightage to them. I am not even going to talk about the story, since some others talk about it. Why the story does not work? Well...it was just so goddamn boring. Usually when you have a race between two people, it has some emotional baggage or weightage. Here? Nothing.nnnAll in all not a good time and you can skip this one for surensame points applyn3/10nThanks!n-CyanCheetah
