I haven't seen Initial D, but I've seen the trailer and I know that it's a very old anime, that just finally now reached the states. There's a manga, a PS (Japan only) game, and of course, an anime on it. The manga, I believe, goes for 24 or 25 volumes under the publisher
Kodansha and labled under
shounen stories. The
mangaka is Shigeno Shuichi. The anime consists of 2 seasons, Initial D contains 26 episodes and Initial D: Second Stage contains 13 episodes. There are 2(?) OVAs and I believe 2 movies. I heard the music is very good too; don't know why, it just is.
I don't know how much the DVD is in the US, since my little town doesn't have it yet, so I can't provide you with that info, sorry. I hope what I was able to give you helped.
