MF Ghost: A Glimmer of Initial D’s Thrill
A Complicated Storyline
If you’re a fan of racing anime and lived through the 90s, you might still remember Initial D, an iconic racing anime with an unforgettable soundtrack. MF Ghost, Shūichi Shigeno’s latest creation, can’t help but evoke a sense of dejavu. This spin-off takes place in the same universe as Initial D, but with a fresh new cast of characters, set a few years into the future.
The main protagonist, Kanata Riblett, has just arrived in Japan from the UK, seemingly on a quest to find his Japanese father. But what’s significant is his exceptional racing talent, which leads him to participate in the MFG race. The connection between his search and his newfound racing prowess is hinted but not fully revealed, leaving viewers to wonder.
A Complicated Romance
Kanata’s friend, Ren, is secretly leading a double life as MFG Angel, while Kanata remains oblivious, even as he falls in love with her. Things get more complicated when Ren’s dual identity is discovered, making it difficult for Kanata to reconcile their relationship.
The romance in MF Ghost feels forced, with the two leads displaying little chemistry. Kanata’s lack of personality, combined with Ren’s underwhelming characterization, makes it hard to invest in their relationship. The story leaves many questions unanswered, only adding to the frustration.
The Racing Scene: A Glimmer of Brilliance
The racing portion of the anime is indeed thrilling, with Eurobeat soundtracks that evoke memories of Initial D’s explosive racing scenes. However, the experience is marred by a lack of competition, making the races feel more like a chore. The animation is smooth, but it’s not enough to redeem the overall sense of blandness.
The first season of MF Ghost is an enigmatic watch, leaving viewers with unanswered questions. While it lacks the depth and excitement of Initial D, it offers a glimmer of that same thrilling racing experience.
Final Verdict: A Shallow Copy of Initial D
In summary, MF Ghost is an anime that fails to transcend its origins. While the racing scenes are enjoyable, the complicated storyline and poorly developed characters make it an unengaging watch. If you’re looking for a truly exciting racing anime, stick with Initial D.
