I've just discovered "Initial D". I don't usually follow series, but too many people recommended it. And I have to say it's pretty good.
It's a three part (so far) story about japanese streetracing. The first part includes 26 episodes, the second part includes 14 episodes (I think) and the third part is a feature length movie. The animation is top notch, with 3D models used for the cars.
So far I've only seen the first three episodes, but it seems like the story will really get going in episode 4.
