MF Ghost is another new release for the fall season that references Initial D.
This story is not about overcoming, there is no drama.
It seems like the entire show was exposition for future events.
MF Ghost was a promising newcomer to the fall season. The anime attracted not only the original Shigeno Shuuichi manga fans, but also those for whom Takumi Fujiwara is more than just a name. Yes, MF Ghost refers to the popular 90's anime Initial D. It was a promising title, but in the end, fans didn't quite get what they expected. Episode 11 was recently released, and it seems that even more questions were raised.
Story of Takumi Fujiwara's student
MF Ghost isn't the only anime about racing this season. Overtake! by TROYCA is a good competitor. We've already discussed which sports anime about racing is better. It seems that in terms of animating the races and capturing the atmosphere, MF Ghost wins. However, the story in this anime is inferior to Overtake! — it's not as exciting and dramatic.
The plot of MF Ghost revolves around a 19-year-old British boy, Kanata Livington, who moves to Japan to compete in the MFG races. The boy doesn't want to become famous, his goal is to find his father. To do this, he wants to win a tournament and compete under his surname.
This story is not about overcoming, there is no drama connected with the many attempts on the way to success. On the contrary, Kanata is a very capable racer and not new to the sport. In his home country he attended a specialized school, and his teacher was Takumi Fujiwara, known from the Initial D series. All the main character lacks is a powerful car, but he doesn't really need one since his teacher drove a Toyota 86.
Many questions without answers
There are 12 episodes announced in the anime and the 11th episode was recently released. It caused a discussion among the fans. It is mainly related to the main series' antagonist. Sawatari has appeared before, but it was episodic. Now he was shown in all his glory in the race. Leaving aside all the criticism of this character's personality, it's unclear what role he's supposed to play. After all, there is one episode left. So why was it necessary to introduce this character?
This begs another question: how did the series turn out? It seems like it was an exposition for future events. Some even suggest that the series will end on a cliffhanger — right before the main race begins. This is an unusual and very strange decision, since almost nothing happens during the entire anime. Most of the show was taken up by an unimportant race whose only value was in getting to know the characters. What was that all about? It seems that the second season will be announced soon.
Okay...what was that?
