All Play: Sonoshee and JP as revealed in a flashback. Although he's loyal to Roboworld, he's friendly, polite, and seemingly close with the President.
As of late December 2011 it has been released on Bluray and DVD in the US and UK. It was also drawn - by hand - over the course of seven years.Ĭheck out the totally sweet trailer. Not that REDLINE feels or looks like a mash-up of different styles – somewhere in the visual chaos it unrelentingly throws at its audience it becomes something that is far more than the mere sum of parts, a unique piece of animation that at times doesn't even feel like anime in the traditional sense. Visually, it's easy to see that Koike is a huge fan of western graphic art, and has been influenced as much by French comic artist Mœbius, the US animated film Heavy Metal, cult UK sci-fi comic 2000 AD and Star Wars as much as he has by the likes of Katsuhiro Otomo, Hiroyuki Imaishi or Leiji Matsumoto.
#ANIME REDLINE MOVIE#
The directorial debut feature of Takeshi Koike, produced by Madhouse Studios and released in 2010 after spending half a decade in development, REDLINE is a racer movie unlike anything seen before and potentially one of the most daring and important anime movies of the decade. As a result, two racers have already dropped out, and JP is voted in through a popularity contest. It turns out the venue has been announced: the fascistic, authoritarian military superpower state of Roboworld, who aren't exactly pleased about their world being used as an impromptu racetrack and make it perfectly clear that they intend to stop the racers with extreme prejudice before the starting flag has even been dropped. Waking up in hospital with an arm and a leg in casts and his dreams in tatters, JP is shocked to find he has in fact made the grade. Unfortunately, his prized yellow machine TRANSAM 20000 suddenly "malfunctions" just short of the finish line. One such racer, Sweet JP, almost achieves it. Naturally, everyone wants to take part, but to do so they have to qualify in one of the Yellowline races first. JP drives a Yellow TransAM20000 which looks so damn good speeding through the space-age tracks.Set in the far future, REDLINE is about the galaxy's biggest and deadliest illegal road race, only held every five years at a secret location not unveiled until practically the last minute. There’s racers with rockets, lasers and huge race cars each with their own flavor to them. This movie just keeps going and going like an anime Energizer bunny. The characters’ shapes becomes distorted and they even have nosebleeds from how fast they go. The way that it makes you feel like the characters are going as fast as the speed of light is a sight to behold. The animation and action scenes serve as this movie’s main course. When anime is done right it just gives you an all-around good feeling, and Redline epitomizes that. It has a plot that never gets lost in the animation and crazy action scenes that are the meat of this film. Honestly, without spoiling anything, there’s not much I can tell you about the plot other than that it’s satisfying in all the right ways. Well, it revolves around him and his journey to the ultimate race, “Redline.” The plot has action and drama as expected from a racing story, with plenty of twists and turns. The plot revolves around a cool cat named JP (nicknamed “Sweet” JP) and his boss hairdo.
#ANIME REDLINE FULL#
Redline is full of action and characters that are pretty fleshed out even though the main motive of the film is actually to bombard you with beautiful set pieces and a bangin’ soundtrack. The movie was produced by Madhouse so you know the animation is on point. Redline is an anime movie about racing that was released at a film festival in 2009 and officially in 2010. Just know that your life is incomplete without watching this movie at least 2 times. First question, have you heard of Redline? You most likely haven’t and that’s okay, don’t feel bad.
