If they get smacked by the fan community as hard as I expect they will be, they might backpedal...remaster the first DVD...release two versions like they did for Cardcaptors.

I don't know, but I would not underestimate Initial D if I were you. It's perfect for TV, and it was apparently wildly popular in Japan. I mean, the cliffhangers in every 2 of 3 episodes? Come on...that's the ideal hook to get people to keep watching (which is of course why it's in there to begin with).

Granted, racing shows aren't as popular over here...but if I had to take bets I'd bet that Tokyopop thinks they have the next Speed Racer.
