Speculations of Fifth Stage and Facebook Page

Greetings, Initial D fans. It's been three years since this page has gotten any updates. I thought I would bring this back again to hopefully get some of you interest in Initial D again. For starter, we will speculate about Fifth Stage here: Initial D Fourth Stage covered 15 volumes (vol.17~31) in manga and it ended airing back in 2006. Five years later, we are up to vol.43. In theory, the Fifth Stage anime production team now has 12 volumes of story to work with. This is close to the amount of storyline in Fourth Stage.
At the rate of six month per volume, we will have all 15 volumes (vol.32~46) by the end of 2012. That puts the announcement of Fifth Stage somewhere in the beginning of 2013 as a conservative estimate. Whether or not they will announce something new between now and then to keep the fans waiting is yet to be seen.
We've created a Facebook fanpage for the site. To get more Initial D latest development news, be sure to Like Us and follow our fanpage!

Initial D Extra Stage 2 (2008.10.3)

It's been quite awhile since there are any news for Initial D anime. Recently, AVEX has confirmed a new installment for the Initial D anime series that marks the 10th anniversary for the franchise. The new side story is called Initial D Extra Stage 2: Tabidachi no Green. It is set to air on SkyPerfectTV in October and the DVD set will come out on December 5th. Pre-order of the set is not available yet. A BOX set will also be released on the same day. The Extra Stage BOX set contains the first Initial D Extra Stage and the new Extra Stage 2. For more information, please refer to the Official Site. There is a short clip on the Official Site showing some of the new content from Initial D Extra Stage 2.
At the moment, it is uncertain whether or not Extra Stage 2 will continue from where Extra Stage left off previously or if it's going to be a completely different side story that has nothing to do with the main plot. Judging from the screenshots and the short clip from the Official Site, there is at least one battle and it will be between the Impact Blue Sil-80 and a dark Altezza RS200. Extra Stage 2 will have much better graphics than the first Extra Stage and we will see some familiar faces. (Hint: Iketani-senpai, Takumi.. etc.)
