Man they did iketani so dirty dude was the most wholesome and reassuring character of them all putting his friends first. you can see his skills seriously improve here as well. It's a shame his story doesn't seem to get any better either as it's revealed later on his life is just about the same but very lonely. dude deserves better. would be cool to see the S13 battle it out and actually take home a victory against an intense opponent to prove that iketani's story wasn't a complete waste.
Well at the same time we have to realize at this stage project d started and the stage was focused on project d battles fully and Takumi growth in this stage so they really just pushed the side characters barley and called it a day. 😅
@@90seurobeat Id love to see a fan-series that can really give the side cast some spotlight like more Speed Stars, Night Kids, and Impact Blue races. Hell I have the thought that people flock to Akina to challenge the Speed Stars because of Takumi's notoriety
@@jackezzpanzer Definitely would love to see that too but judging from a lot of animators that make initial d content like art film studio it literally takes a couple weeks just to make a battle or months so definitely would be pretty hard but if someone did it with a team and stuff definitely be faster and really cool.
@@90seurobeat Really cant blame them since animating cars in a believable racing motion would take some time not mention having an animation that spent a lot of time with actual models of the racers and not quips from the anime or movie. Though it is good to see there still are fans that still animate the stuff, although nowadays I usually see Asseto Corsa videos reenacting races and custom races. This idea could be a good community project
I still consider that Takumi's Friends from the Akina Speed Stars are wasted... especially Iketani, at the beginning of the series I had hopes that he would learn to be a better pilot... In the end they were left as jokes... come on brother!!! Takumi, Keisuke and even Mako became professional pilots while Itksi and Iketani were left as two failures who work at a gas station and don't have a girlfriend"! 🗿
I know, Iketani may have spun out, but you can still see that both Iketani and Itsuki have significantly improved and it's great to actually see them race each other, even if it is short.
