We watched the French-Japanese animated series Oban Star-Racers, about a girl who tries to reconnect with her absent father after he left her behind for his career managing starship races.
He's been approached by a cosmic entity to represent Earth in a race where the winner will be safe from impending galactic attack. His daughter, too scared to reveal herself as the forgotten child and pretending to just be an unrelated aspiring racer, is swept along to become part of the crew.
We talk about podracing, nobody having a nose at any angle, how the only girl on the team is of course underestimated just because she's a girl, and whether or not an elevator is considered "transportation."
