Ladies and gentlemen, after more than six years of wait, Kodansha's Young Magazine has announced that a new anime series adaptation of Shuuichi Shigeno's Initial D - car-racing manga has been confirmed. Though, the format of the new anime series has not been revealed yet. It could be in the form of television anime, original video anime or some other format. We don't have those details yet. We will have to wait 'til August 6 when they release more details regarding this new anime series. As a die hard Initial D fans, this is possibly the most exciting Initial D news since the announcement of Fourth Stage back in late 2003. (Source: Comic Natalie - http://natalie.mu/comic/news/73769)
