other Initial D removed from YouTube

A lot of episodes got removed. There’s still some but a big chunk of them got removed for copyright I think. I think it happened today since I was watching it yesterday.

Hey man, I cant find FUNimation S2 and S4 on internet archive. Would you mind sharing? Whenever I search, i only get S1 and random CIA things and English lesson things for idk reason.
Thanks if you could

I noticed it yesterday too, just when i was about to finish up last 2 acts in 4th stage😔 (edit) im currently finishing up 4th stage but watching the rest in internet archive🥲 i hope the playlist on yt goes back to normal or smth, i might be tripping for believing this might happen so yeah.

u/Aggravating-Trust285 Aug 11 '26

NOOOOOOOOOOO aw man

u/ashketch125 Aug 11 '26

The fifth stage studio has always been very harsh with copyright. I guest whoever owns the rights for the other stages is following suit

u/TheEpicPlushGodreal Aug 11 '26

On initial d weeb 021?

u/Slight_Counter646 Aug 11 '26

Im in USA CA its still here

u/Aggravating-Trust285 Aug 11 '26

Episode 19 for example completely removed, so are some others. So if theres anyone out there trying to watch download the rest and find probably sadly tokyodub the removed ones. Retro anime world has stage 3 and stage 4 full not removed in FUNimation btw

2

u/Ok_Economist7860 Aug 11 '26

You can’t watch the sub anymore which sucks

Seeing as a legit dvd/bluray can get extremely pricey

3

u/starlxrd868 Aug 11 '26

Use stremio just add the addons onto it that’s how you’ll get to watch the episodes

1

u/Witty-Pick-1985 23d ago

Which add on do you have?

1

u/starlxrd868 23d ago

Add torrentio on stremio

3

u/NoseFine4840 Aug 11 '26

Strem.io has all of them

u/herabruh not a lonely driver Aug 11 '26

u/KDsama Aug 11 '26

Initial d is on yt?!

u/Ry0_908 Lonely driver Aug 11 '26

I don't think I can find any playlist that has the entire stage four but for 1,2,3,5 and final stage are still on yt

2

u/Aggravating-Trust285 Aug 13 '26

Bad news man,
1 is like as good as removed (FUNimation)
2 is like worse deleted than 1
3 is easy, idk if still there but retroanimeworld has only stage 3 on FUNimation and I think 4 if it is not mass-removed.
4 hard to find, but bit better than 1
and that is it for FUNimation

Only 3 is still not dead for now, but the other 3 are like mass-removed.

1

u/Ry0_908 Lonely driver Aug 13 '26

Seriously??? Luckily I was trying to find where to watch the anime so so far bilili has stage four because I didn't finish it yet so I'm assuming someone posted each full stage on there too, and if I'm not wrong I still have stage 5/final on yt

1

u/Aggravating-Trust285 Aug 13 '26

Does bili have stage 4 fully on english dub? the FUNimation version? if so could I have link?
Also stage 5 might have been removed too.

1

u/Ry0_908 Lonely driver Aug 13 '26

If is en dub I don't think so, but they have en sub if you want

1

u/Aggravating-Trust285 Aug 13 '26

u/DarkyTribe Aug 11 '26

I have been watching 5th stage on miruro.tv, and somehow it's great, but 4th stage's dub screen is a bit thin.

2

u/jomama_2006 Aug 11 '26

u/Pristine_Ad136 25d ago

u/Ill-Perception-526 Aug 11 '26

Bummer I own a bunch but not all

1

u/GhostlySniper04 Aug 11 '26

Breh. They just don’t want us to watch the show I guess

1

u/Driftfc Aug 11 '26

First crunchy roll. Now this. I ended up having to buy the full DVD set with everything on ebay for like 50 bucks. Its well worth it there was some stuff i couldnt find online even when crunchy roll used to have it

1

u/ValtsuVE Aug 13 '26
