I mean, we have a character who is supposed to be a newbie in skate, but he has great hidden skills. And the moment in ep 1 when Shadow says : "You're too fast for this turn, you're gonna crash !" and Langa has a drift technique... that made me think to Initial D.

Yeah it seems similar but I doubt it will be anywhere near as good in my opinion, I've only seen the first season of initial D though but I doubt something like this can top it.

I did not mean : will it top Initial D? I meant : will it have the same spirit/vibes ?
The animation is pretty good (lot better than Initial D stage 1).
Music seems decent, but I don't think it will top eurobeat.

honestly, when I watched the anime and tried to recommend it to my friend and thought this was so similar to initial d. The same way I got hooked on the first ep of initial, sk8 did the same

To me this looks like Air Gear, but with skateboards instead of roller blades.

Its very similar to initial D so far. The main characters is a high schooler who work a part time job and go to amateur but highly spectated street races up in the mountains above town where people are constantly beefing with one another and betting on the races.

Obviously their differences show up mainly with the rule of attacking eachother and the blatant difference of cars vs skateboard, but this is extremely similar in feeling

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Not enough intense and hype as fuck eurobeat classics to be considered the new Initial D in my eyes.

For me, personally, Initial D either lacked a soul and simply didn't age well. Actually, this is what I felt like Initial D should've been (minus the poor musical choices in some scenes so far). We're only a few episodes in, though, so can't tell for sure.

I was thinking of the Fujiwara Zone there too! But no. This isn't the new Initial D. The new and superior Air Gear is more like it.

It has a lot of initial D elements.

It's more of a tony hawk meets free, if you've ever seen that.

The first episode was very cool and I highly recommend it if you want a cool sports anime.

I covered why SK8 is worth watching on reddit.

I can tell you why it's worth watching over here if anyone is interested

LOL! I never thought SK: the infinity as similar to Initial D. Skating and Car race are quite different.
