Goddamn

I honestly don't know where to begin, but here it comes.

The story line for me is ok, but with tremendous flaws in terms of timing.
Cars:

Todoroki starts the Safari Recce on the Sierra RS (car that could be the 1986-1989 4x2 version or the 1990 4x4 version). Later he's seen in the Montecarlo Rally in a Lancia Delta HF Integrale, (1990, judging for the tiny badge on the right of the license plate in the back.)

Here's the first flaw for me: In the Safari Rally the Lancias are using the 1988 Livery, which means that is the Integrale version.

The Subaru Legacy debuted in the ... 1990 season, the Nissan 200SX was outrunned after 1989, and Toyota is using neither a Celica Supra or Celica Twincam Turbo, both of them replaced for the GT4 ST165 in 1989. (Both Peugeot 205 and Lancia Delta (which again is a weird thing to me. It really look like the 1983 Beta Montecarlo from the front, but looks like a 1986 Delta S4 in the back) are older than the others, so makes sense to use it as road cars because Group B cars were banned in late 86).

What's worst is this fact: They present the Safari Rally as is being in the 4th edition. A quick research will make you realize that the Safari was a WRC event since 1973, and the first home edition was 20 years prior.

If you're brave enough to put those flaws away, it seems to have an OK story behind.

The key story, the Safari Rally is weird. They use full liveried cars to recce, which is slighty incorrect. They are running at night!! It is not accurate. Other aspects of it is well, like the control point, the mobile repairing and the helicopter following the frontrunners.

Is hard to find an anime purely based in rally and when i heard of this i was happy. now i feel like i'm been discussing about the topic with an F1 fan. Multiple flaws, weird conclussions but the general idea is ok, i think. it is sad it lasted just 2 chapters and will not know what could have happened in the other WRC dates.

Note: the following comes from a video review, links on my profile page.

The two-episode OVA randomly titled 'Goddamn' doesn't give away much in terms of what it might be about (while it does somewhat touch on religion, that isn't the point or genre, although that moment happens to be of sociological interest). It features scenes of nature in between semi-comedic interactions of a mechanical sort - the weather is also of import, although it doesn't really matter ultimately as the protagonist is almost immune to disasters despite their constant occurrence.

It has a similar atmosphere to Nasu despite being set on a different continent and being ... about car, as opposed to bicycle racing, although they are more than a decade apart. It also derives some of its comedy from characters' conversations, and often hammers the point, and uses as a repeated prop, the potential dangers of, say, driving really fast up a mountain (which can mostly be 'funny' confined to an animated medium).

The environments here may be of more interest than either the comedy or sport, as in the limited time it doesn't quite establish a consistency that others in the same genre (e.g. Slam Dunk adapted at around the same time) develop over tens of episodes. It is still, though, chilled out somehow despite the accidents that would normally, and in real life, easily turn the comedy into a tragedy.

Some may approach this from a technical perspective, but anime isn't usually a documentary, as if it was characters wouldn't end up with only a few scratches, and so it seems it would detract from any potential interest if it was treated as such. In comparison to Nasu it isn't quite as 'existential' as the latter half of the cycling story turned out to be, but as usual all have differing focus (this doesn't then have as much commentary as Nasu's first episode which may be perceived as monotonous).

Overall, it may be yet another atmospheric OVA animated in the 90s, as so many seem to have been, when studios were possibly not in the mood for much longer series as in earlier decades, but then not even a few more episodes that became standard later on and in recent times, and as such it is a sort of pilot.
