New Initial D (Japanese: 新劇場版「頭文字D」, Hepburn: Shin Gekijō-ban Inisharu Dī, lit. "Initial D: New Theatrical Edition") is a 2014–2016 Japanese anime film series based on the manga series Initial D by Shuichi Shigeno.[1] The film is a retelling of the early stages of the manga and is split into three parts with the first part, Legend 1: Awakening released on August 23, 2014.[2] The full trailer was revealed on 16 May 2014, containing an entirely new Japanese cast.[3] In the English dub, however, several of the Funimation cast from the original series reprised their roles for the trilogy.
