My Quick Thoughts on Watching Motorsport

For the longest time, my appreciation for motorsport was through the perspective of video games – I’ve played plenty of racing games, from Gran Turismo and Rad Racer, and enjoyed them immensely. However, when it came to watching motorsport on TV – I never got into it. This past year, out of a desire to get caught up with some former Giant Bomb people (like Drew Scanlon), I started watching the Shift+F1 Podcast and watching more car races as they’ve been available, and want to give my thoughts on some of what I’ve watched.

So far, for the Fall 2024 season, I’ve only dropped one show so far – and that was How I Attended an All-Guy’s Mixer. The short version for that is this – I was interested in the show as a sort of gender-fluid BL-lite series. Not quite full on BL, but a series that could play with the tropes in interesting ways. However, the second episode felt a lot like it was relying a lot on “No Homo” jokes – to enough of a point that I basically went “Nah” – and I decided to drop it and pick up a proper BL anime later. So, How I Attended an All-Guy’s Mixer does not get a recommend from me.

Anime Review: Betterman

Betterman was an anime series I watched a fair amount of on TechTV back when TechTV was a thing and it showed anime, before it became the G4 network. At the time I hadn’t heard about GaoGaiGar, and I didn’t have any form of DVR (and never got around to programming the VCR to tape it when it was on), so I never caught the whole show. However, at long last, in 2024, I have finally watched the show in its entirety and can give my thoughts – finishing it not long after Halloween.

As a reminder, the weekend of November 8th I will be at Kumoricon. Desert Bus for Hope starts that week, so I won’t be streaming that Friday or likely the following Friday.
