Holy shit, what just happened?
Watching Redline with subtitles is like trying to speed read a paper on the theory of thermodynamics as it applied to nuclear fusion while reversing a truck at 80 mph into a tornado.
But don't let that deter you - because though the story plays out more like an episode from the middle of a series you've never seen the rest of, it is full to burst with classic over the top late 80's anime retro charm and A grade production values. It's no classic, but as a watch once spectacle - it's 100% awesome.

Redline is hands down some of the best animation to come out of Japan in the last decade and will leave you hyped and on edge through every adrenaline-pumping race in this film. This is wacky races on steroids.
Redline has a very simplistic plot of a number of races around the universe which take place every few years using cars which are now 'old fashioned'. However, these races are outlawed and extremely dangerous to participate in. The focus on…

REDLINE is pretty much pornography for animation lovers. This movie spent 7 years in development, and pretty much all of that went into making sure the animation looked as good as possible.
And it does. Oh, it does.
The story is very straightforward, there's very little deep or taxing, so if you're expecting anything like that, you'll be disappointed. This movie is ALL about the spectacle. The animation is astonishingly fluid, complementing the exaggerated characters and the high-octane action perfectly.…

+ I'm interested
- Obviously wishes it was a shit Japanese arcade game
- Weak soundtrack that sounds like toy commercials
- Not very creative; it does mecha bots and giant monsters like every other Japanese cartoon
- Characters were only varied by their colours instead of their personalitesIt's shit if you liked Speed Racer and if you didn't enjoy Speed Racer then avoid and all costs.

Watching Redline is a lot like being seduced. Over it swaggers, two drinks in hand, a smile dancing on its lips. It knows all it has to do is show up for people to notice. It brings memories of youth, of sugar filled mornings that burned your eyes. You'll forget your chair as you fall into its visual splendour. It tells you a tale of backwater planets obsessed with racing, of cruel solar system spanning governments, the love of the…

Here's a strange one, an anime film that is so completely off the rails, it somehow rights itself, and becomes not only one of the most entertaining anime of the year, but one of the most entertaining films of the year, period. Avoid if you absolutely must understand why things on-screen are happening at any given time. Watch if you like color, glorious animation, speed, racing, crazy alien things, and life.

Golosina adictiva visual frenética sin desarrollo de personajes (aunque muy bien diseñados), pésima musicalización y una trama idiota casi inexistente, lo cual hace funcionar TODO. Koike es como un Peter Chung punk, cocainómano y efectista. Trazos pesados, sombras exageradas y contraste fuerte con colores brillantes incandescentes. Cero raciocinio, puro goce. Con un poco mas de sangre y sexo hubiese sido un clásico.
