Some people loved it, some hated it...
Well, I've not caught the anime version nor the comic version. The anime was already a hot favourite few years ago, thus the Hongkies decided to do a movie version of the show.
Alot of people were asking, "Hey!! I can act better than Jay for the Takumi guy!!". Being sued for overdose of coolness, Jay has been heavily criticised for this lead role in Initial D. You see, Jay is indeed suitable for this role!!! See below!!
Takumi (Initial D) has expressionless eyes, cool posture and "heck-care" attitude, just like Jay!! (almost killed by his overdose of coolness)
Snippets from Initial D's anime & Comic
Another Character I like to mention is Edison Chen as Ryosuke Takahashi, the leader for the street racing team, The Redsuns.
Hey! What you staring at? Kiam pa ah!!?? @#$$$ :p
Heard that Edison has a bad attitude in the Hong Kong Entertainment, but as the saying goes, "Nan ren bu huai, nu ren bu ai.." Well... I guess it is true as alot of my colleagues are going "ga-ga" over this boy. He is just an "attitude" ah-beng.
Having a boyish-looking appearance, sometimes I feel his actions are little extra and somehow reminds me of a primate.... hmm... overdose of coolness also?
Edison Chen in his boyish side & "dark" side??
I was reading the comic Deathnote few weeks ago, and Edison reminded me of this character "L"!! He likes to analyse and uses his wits to help the police bust crimes. However, he does not have a good posture, always croaching his back, can't sit still, likes to eat sweet stuffs, behaves more like an orang-utan than a man... but when he talks, he sounds like a genius!!
Deathnote - Character "L"
See the difference? :D
Itsuki goes "ga-ga" over "L"(Edison)...rather than a Mazda RX7..
Oh mine.... is Edison going to cosplay "L"?
Anne Suzuki and Takeshi Kaneshiro in "Returner" Well, Anne was acting as Natsuki (Jay's gf) in "Initial D", just in case u are wondering why this pic is here.
