Mach GoGoGo is pretty fun. This is your classic short manga from the 60's. With only 10 chapters, you can read it in about an hour or two.

While the plot wasn't terrible and the story was interesting, Mach GoGoGo features one of the most egregious moments of reusing manga/plot that I've ever read before in a manga, with the exact same panels, locations, and lines being reused for two different chapters. It was so bad that I thought my scan was messed up and I was reading an earlier part again.

Other than that, it was pretty entertaining. For just being a racecar driver Speed Racer/Gou ... Mifune is an absolute hand-to-hand combat menace - he regularly beats the hell out of armed adults and shoots guns out of peoples hands. Definitely would recommend reading, whether you're into old manga, or just a fan of modern "Speed Racer" media.

It's old, it's short, and it's got quite a few blatant flaws, but at the end of the day, it's Speed Racer, goddammit!

I originally watched this when it aired on Adult Swim, and while I was originally skeptical of it (seeing as how it is a Sword Art Online anime, which I have not enjoyed as much in the past,) I was pleasantly surprised by the character development, themes, fight choreography and story of Alicization. Eugeo is one of the more interesting deuteragonists in anime, and Kirito having a fresh start makes it less annoying, since you don't have to deal with the Harem-ing typical of other SAO parts. Despite me not really having watched/viewed other SAO media, I still felt like I could understand the story ... without being lost or having to go rewatch previous parts/clips.

There were a few moments in the show that follow the SAO formula, which admittedly had me less interested, and the following story arc "Alicization: War of Underworld" had me much less enthralled than the Alicization Arc, but overall, it definitely wasn't a bad watch. I feel people who, like myself, are not regular fans of Sword Art Online will be pleasantly surprised if you decide to watch this.
