Wangan Midnight
湾岸ミッドナイト
Wangan MIDNIGHT Genre: Shounen, sports (auto racing) Mangaka: Kusunoki Michiharu (楠 みちはる) ![]() Production: OB Planning Release date: June 9th, 2007 Website: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Channel: ANIMAX (PPV) The story gets its roots from actual racing that takes place on a stretch of Tokyo's Shuto Expressway called the "wangan" (literally: bay side), which is the longest and straightest run of road in Japan. Racers who choose to run the wangan are met with traffic, high-speed accidents, and blown engines.The ongoing manga has been serialized in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] since 1993, with a total of 36 volumes currently in print. An [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] adaptation was announced in YOUNG [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] in November according to an [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] article. It was not specified if the anime would air on Spring or if production would begin in Spring. Wangan MIDNIGHT has spawned several arcade and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], with the newest PS3 version slated for a 2007 release; a little-known series of live action movies is also loosely based on the manga. The manga is currently unlicensed and being scanlated by [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. OP: 「lights and any more」 - TRF ED: 「Talkin' bout good days」 - Mother Ninja I think it's probably a good thing that the series is being broadcast on a PPV channel. Racing anime does not exactly equal popularity for the general otaku public. It'll boil down to people who are waiting for more Initial D and people who play the CS/AC games. I'm hoping that great care is given to the car designs, as well as the exhaust notes and other various automotive sounds (the Devil Z's blow-off valve as heard in the games is very distinctive). I was happy with these things in ID 4th Stage, so my hopes are high.

Re: Wangan Midnight
The only car racing focused anime I'll probably watch is ID. I don't like car racing focused animes though.

Re: Wangan Midnight
Well I've personally seen the first 6 episodes and its great, Its not posing off of initial d at all its completely different but great. Initial d was great too but Wangan does a great job of catching another side of street racing that initial d ignores. I've also played the game for Wangan and for Initial D and they are both great games but it all depends what you are in the mood for, mountain runs or street races. Not to mention the story line is great and the detail of the cars is truly amazing. I'm working on uploading it cause I don't see it here yet but if it is someone please let me know. Also Arika I was wondering if i could just steal your description of it when i get it all posted?

Re: Wangan Midnight
Hi, thanks for this post, I was watching the tv series and it's excellent. It's very similar to initial D but with story more dark.
