About Goddamn

Meet Goddamn (ガッデム), an action and sports anime by Studio Signal (1990). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: Gen Todoroki, a talented but accident-prone rally driver, gets offered a sponsoring deal by a big-shot car company—and the deal comes with a chance at the Safari Rally Kenya championship. But the road there is bumpy and rich with tough competitors...

Next up: Car racing anime, based on the manga by SHINTANI Kaoru, serialised in Big Comic Superior from 1988 to 1990.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Masashi Ebara as Dick van Dyke and Kouichi Yamadera as Gen Todoroki. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 2 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
