This is supposedly a Flyer for Initial D DVD V#10. Look in the upper left-hand corner.

It will probably be on Saturday nights on MTV2 with the episodes aired out of order or something.

It wont be on Cartoon Network, thats for sure (they wont show it due to the nature of the show, from what i read on the AS forums)

I'm just curious. What did those people in the AS forum say?

Wait, don't you mean...? Oh, forget it.

Anyway, I'm having a problem beliving this. Not because the picture was from Photobucket, but because I think there would be a backlash from fans unless Tokyopop redubbed it for TV or something, which I doubt.

I'm curious as well. It can't be because of the racing, they've had their share of Hot Wheels cartoons on Toonami. Didn't they already make a dumbed-down kid friendly TV version of the show anyway?

Actually, I think it had to do with someone mentioning Tokyopop had shopped their "tricked out" version to several channels and all of them rejected it. I don't remember if CN was mentioned specifically, or if it was just assumed.

I could of sworn it was on tv already like showtime or something like that. Wait, I think that was GTO. Anyway, probably won't be on any channels I have.

It think it would be cool if they put it on the speed channel though. They could have an anime hour with Speed Racer, maybe?

Well, i could have sworn it was listed in the "shows not request" thread in the Action Show suggestions forum. Bt it looks like its changed since i last checked, so they may have changed their mind....

I did find a random post by someone about it though:

Well, the horrible dub would be a good reason why it will not come to AS. But the real reason is because it is about illegal street racing, something Cartoon Network does not want to encourage by any means.

Someone from Toon Zone pointed out that it's probably going to G4, since (apparently) they're going to do something on street racing sometime in the future.

And why have three people double-posted in this thread? Question
