Wangan Midnight
Wangan Midnight
Second on a car enthusiasts must see list is a show called Wangan Midnight. It’s originally a Manga that started back in the 90′s and is still running today. Because of it’s popularity, the creators decided to make an anime from it. The little brother to Initial D, Wangan Midnight essentially takes all the racing from the mountains in Japan, and moves it onto the highways of Tokyo with excess speeds of 300km/h!! If you liked initial D then this is a great show as well, and like initial D the music from it is top notch and makes you want to put the pedal to the floor! it’s only around 26 episodes sadly but hopefully there’s more to come. If you really like this anime and still can’t fill you’re hunger of blasting through tunnels on the C-1 Loop at 300km/h then be sure to check out some of the live action movies. they came out a while ago in the late 90′s but they’re pretty awesome never the less. Also on a side note Wangan Midnight is made by the same people who work on Initial D. Summary and links will be posted below like usual.
Plot Summary:
After losing a street race to Tatsuya Shima’s legendary “Blackbird” Porsche 911 Turbo, high school student Akio Asakura purchases a heavily-modified first-generation Datsun S30 Fairlady Z from a junkyard. The car has a dark history of accidents, leading some to believe it’s cursed; hence its nickname “Devil Z.” Akio also discovers that the Z’s first owner shared his first and last name, and was killed in the car during a race with the Blackbird. Meanwhile, fashion model Reina Akikawa joins the rivalry between Akio and Tatsuya with her modified Nissan Skyline GT-R R32.
