ALL THIS FUCKING ANIMATION, LIKE, HOLY SHIT

Like
when you look at this
and compare it to anything else
the main difference is
that that other show is 90% powerpoint presentation
and this is an actual animation.
We need more of this kind of shit.

The only bad thing I can really say right now is that the ending was kind of sudden and weak. Like, if I would end this post right here.

Very fun movie. The art and animation is a 10 all day long, but it could have used more story and character depth. 8/10 for the whole package. Do yourself a favor and watch it in 1080p.

The artwork kinda reminds me of TTGL and Inferno Cop :o

That race was fucking intense especially with the finish, wow. Loved the soundtrack played during the beginning race btw. Sonoshee and JP's conversation at that place with the Steamlight had sexual tension you can cut with a knife some nice moments.

I gotta say that some of racers are kinda hot..like those twins.

Most of action in this movie was pretty intense and that Funky Boy or whatever its called is butt ugly. Poor Sonoshee though during that race ;.;

HOLY SHIT @ the violence in this movie. That old guy is a bloody good shot. Also this:



NICE WIN. Nice movie overall: 8/10 :) Kind of a cheesy ending though.

WOW. That was spectacular! I normally care about plotlines, but this movie requires the audience to not overthink about it and just enjoy every single moment. I could feel the adrenaline rush throughout the races!

There was a guy in the movie who reminded me of Ganondorf from The Legend of Zelda series, I forgot his name haha.

This was really, really cool. The story was bad but I wasn't watching this for the story. This had the on the tip of my seat the entire time and I was amazed by the sheer epicness.
I had been wanting to adjust my rating guidelines for a while and I finally did that.
Things without a epic story can still get 9/10 by amazing me throughout the length of the show/movie, being truly intriguing and unique. And this show definitely is just that.
9/10.

Edit: 8/10, I shall stick to my guidelines!

Just finished today and this anime put a smile in my face. The plot is absurd, but this is the kind of anime that you dont argue with the plot. Awesome animation and soundtrack. A very fun anime to watch

Awesome adrenaline rush movie! The animation was just beautiful and it was easy to get sucked into all the action. Simple story but that's what made it great. Not to mention the soundtrack which was superb! How about that end song?! Very enjoyable movie!!

Well that was interesting...

I liked the first race more than the last, a bit much chaos at the end there.

Before I watched it, I thought it was going to be like Speed Racer + Death Race, but it turned out more like Death Race + Dead Leaves.

Honestly this anime could've gave the characters a bit more time to explain their back stories
overall this movie was a lot of fun and the art style was really nice. Sweet JP was pretty frickin hot. Also he reminds me of Kamina from ttgl.
I could feel the adrenaline and once the race was over and everyone just let out that breathe so did I, I didn't realize i was holding in my breath and i could feel my heart beating.

8/10 for whole movie

My expectations were blown out of the roof! :O

This, THIS, is what racing anime are supposed to be.
8/10 (more like 8.5, but still), just coz of some of the unnecessary plotlines.
But DAYUM that animation and OST <<< WILL DL THE OST ASAP! :D

Wow. Haven't seen someone as smexy as JP in a while!

rated "Mild nudity" <--- pfft. Sonoshee. XD

Loved it more than I expected. I also liked the first race more than the second, I agree that it was a bit chaotic near the end. The ending floating/ kiss was super nice though.

Wish they also explained the backstories more... Needs a bit more characterization. Otherwise, I absolutely loved the subtle-ish romance. I really like both JP and Sonoshee.

Made my night. Glad I watched.

I haven't watched many anime movies, but this is definitely my favourite.
The animation was glorious and the races were blood pumping. Even if the story was simple and very cliched, I still enjoyed it, apart from the whole bio-weapons stuff that was totally irrelevant and useless. Jp was a cool mc and the chick was hot so I even liked the "romance".
For some reasons, probably the presence of aliens or the mc's hairstyle, I got hyped for Space Dandy by watching Redline lol
9/10
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

WOW this movie is the definition of epic!
Loved the OST especially the ending song "Redline Day"
Animation is all hand-drawn and beautiful from start to finish.
Plot was good as it is, Its a 97 min. movie there wasn't a need for an excessive plot. 9.4/10 from me, but i'll just round it up 10 seeing as this is now one of my favorites.

Forgive me if it has been mentioned (I'm sure it has) but did anyone notice the sound from Gurren Lagann when Sonoshee put the Steamlight into JP's car? It's at 1:31:47 for my release. It's the same sound that's heard at the very beginning of the song Sorairo Days -Tengen Toppa Edition-

Here's the song

Well, this was Quite good Movie. I have same feelings now, just like I Had when I Watched Tokyo Godfathers. Story was Simple, but everything else redeemed that. No Over used Cliche's, or at least for what i saw, which was damn good. Drawing style was DAMN GOOD, and no GC shit, (which can also make good animes, but this just great when it draw entirely by hand) And No Total Romance, which is good because it wouldn't have fit in This.

Ending was Awesome, or at least cool. really good Movie

Great anime film.
The graphics are orgasmic. I thought I was on LSD.
Its soundtrack made those "balls to the wall" racing scenes even better.

8/10

I definitely wish we saw the lead doing more racing at the end. His style of driving with all the drifting and dodging was nice to see compared to the other more aggressive racers. Not that they weren't fun to watch too, in fact I was suprised the final race juggled so many of them. I thought it would've focused almost exclusively on the lead and the love interest.

I think I would like a followup or spinoff film/OVA where JP acts as a courier and has to drive and deliver it while fending over all sorts of crazies

When the enemies initiated the grand attack (crimson) I was in tears. Holy shit. That's how you f*cking do it :'D

Animation and sound quality are by far the best I have ever experienced.

I wasn't bored or uniterested for a single moment during this movie. I'm now puzzled where to put this masterpiece on my Top Ten list...

Verdict: 10/10.

Hmm I have mixed feelings about this. It wasn't very interesting, but style is really unique. For me it was more cartoonish than anime style. And if you assume that it whole was hand drew, I can say it's really not bad, 7 years of painting... Jesus.

Well, 7/10 for me.

Damn, Redline was one epic movie. I can't believe it took me so long to check this out. The animation is out of this world (those 7 years of production did not go to waste) and the whole movie just oozes style. I'm not even a fan of racing but this had me at the edge of my seat the whole time. Also, that OST was just bumpin'. I'm still listening to REDLINE DAY (feat. Rob Laufer) from the credits as we speak (click below). Madhouse can do no wrong.

This is a real Studio. Madhouse you have done it again. It was a really nice movie with some good romance at the end. Animation was superb. Soundtrack was really nice too. The character development just wasn't complete though. I wonder what happens after the movie ends? A sequel would be nice.

Haven't seen an intense action-packed anime movie in a long while, or any other movie like this for that matter.

The way it ended was a bit abrupt though, especially the fact that they added the "The End". Now I'm just sitting here wondering what could have happened next.
