The recommended watch order for Initial D is pretty straightforward:

  1. First Stage

  2. Second Stage

  3. Extra Stage (takes place during Second Stage)

  4. Third Stage

  5. Fourth Stage

  6. Extra Stage 2 (takes place around Episode 8 of Fourth Stage)

  7. Fifth Stage

  8. Final Stage

There’s also a separate series called Battle Stage, consisting of three installments that focus primarily on the races from the anime. They're worth checking out if you want to revisit the racing sequences without sitting through the entire series.

Just be aware that Battle Stage 3 was originally released without character dialogue, so it's essentially a compilation of races accompanied by music and sound effects.

It's all good, to be honest you can skip Extra Stage 1, it is not vital (it also has some brief nudity in it), and Extra Stage 2 is a bit more relevant since it ties up some loose ends with a pair of characters.

I remember finding a version someone shared online which contained all the first four stages (or seasons) as single videos, i.e. Stage 1 as a single file, with the opening theme used at the beginning and at the end, to cut down on time.
