Mike Posted May 27, 2002 Share #4 Posted May 27, 2002 That's a pretty sweet little snipit of some very good work. Do you know where this is from? Is it a full movie? It's an advertisement for something..... I just can't read Japanese.Can anyone help out here?I'm putting a link to this post on the main page because maybe some others can help us find out where we can get this.

Mike Posted May 27, 2002 Share #5 Posted May 27, 2002 Okay, I found out a little more about this video. I followed the link shown on the initial splash screen and found this:http://www.genki.co.jp/soft/midnight/index.htmlThis is the story of some people who love a car. (or something similar to that) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/1758-240z-cartoon/#findComment-7777 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfadog Posted May 27, 2002 Share #7 Posted May 27, 2002 I think it's an intro for one of those Japanese Anime cartoons... There is one (could be the same one, but I forgot its name) which is all about: cars, guns and women. Nothing else... hehe It has Vipers, Mustangs and (perhaps?) some rice burners too? Whatever it is, they sure like the Z and that cant be a bad thing! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/1758-240z-cartoon/#findComment-7779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 27, 2002 Share #8 Posted May 27, 2002 There's a block on the page that says Playstation 2.If there is a Zcar game for the PS2, I'm *THERE* dude...PS: I really want their 3D model of the Z. It looks pretty good and it would come in handy for graphics on this site!!!

Mike Posted May 27, 2002 Share #9 Posted May 27, 2002 Ya, looks like the game is called Wangun Midnight for the PS2.It looks like it won't be available until the end of this year.

HS30-H Posted May 27, 2002 Share #11 Posted May 27, 2002 Yes, this is an advertisement for a new game for the PS2. It is based on a "manga" ( Japanese comic ) series from the early 90's called "Wangan Midnight", which was published in a series of small paperback book-style episodes by "Yanmaga" ( Young Magazines ). The "Wangan" is the nickname given to the Tokyo Bayshore Route motorway which curves from Yokohama right round to Chiba, and has always been popular with street racers since it was built. There are very many comics and animated videos that use the street racing theme in Japan, but they are all rather childish and the drawings in the comics themselves are rather basic ( because of the quantity in each episode and the amount of episodes they pump out ). The stories leave rather a lot to be desired too. The animated version is rather better, and the game should be better still - but I doubt if it can play better than the mighty GT3 on PS2.... Here is a scan of a couple of the original books; Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/1758-240z-cartoon/#findComment-7792 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfadog Posted May 27, 2002 Share #12 Posted May 27, 2002 No it probably wont be better than GT3... but GT3 didn't have our favourite Z in it !GT2 has a 432 Fairlady though doesn't it?
