A thrilling ride through colorful animation, not to be taken seriously but such an unforgettable film. Not complex in story but great in its animation. As odd in nature, that there's nothing quite like it.

Redline is an incredible movie.The animation is absolutely gorgeous. This film is bursting with style, and the animation team behind it boasts that no CGI was used. Though the film was animated digitally, it was all drawn by hand by a real person. The visual designs are charming and wild, with a colorful cast of characters featuring humans and aliens alike.The music has an undeniable sense of energy, often with some kind of pumping bass line designed to get you in to the movie's kinetic rhythm. It matches the on-screen chaos very well.The story is simple: it's like other films about a crooked race driver with a heart of gold and his team's unfortunate connections to the criminal underworld, but it's presented with so much flair and irreverent personality that Redline stands out. Unfortunately, that leads to my one and only complaint: some story elements are kind of under-cooked.Redline is so busy showing you so much that it often forgets to follow up on some of what it establishes. Certain revelations are saved until far too late in the movie (past the point where they'd make sense), and other plot threads are ignored for most of the run time only to resurface at the last second. It feels like it needed just a tad more room to breathe, as too many plot elements are touch-and-go. But that also just contributes to the movie's breakneck sense of speed as it races to the finish line. Look at this! Look at that! Look what's over there! But also never stop moving forward. Kind of fitting, in that context.Redline is a guided tour through a galaxy of visual splendor, and it delivers in spades. Any given character could be the star of their own entire series, and it's a shame our stay in this wonderful universe couldn't be just a little longer.

Hey, I was over on Amazon.ca a few days ago, and I saw that 'Redline' was recommended for me. The cover looked interesting so I went over to YouTube and looked up the trailer. A few days passed, and I bought it. After finishing the film I have only one question.Why didn't I order this earlier?The story is decent (it's a race on a robot planet where the robots don't want them there.) All the characters have an AMAZING amount of character depth, personality and back story (yes, I know that's what depth is.) The animation is some of the best you will ever see coming from Japan, the acting is pretty good. Some of the actors didn't do perfect but since this gets so intense at times, it's unlikely you could act with the level of intensity needed. And the music is great! Oh, and did I mention there's a lot of toilet humor? At least in the English dub their is. Over all this is a fantastic film. I highly recommend buying it on Blu-ray.

Redline supposedly took 7 years and ~100,000 individual drawings to create, all hand-drawn, limited computer work, and it shows. It is without a doubt, the absolute no holds barred best visual achievement in 2-D animation ever, you could make a poster out of pretty much every individual frame of this movie. Aside from all that, it's a pretty standard plot about an underdog racer getting to compete in a big race, if you seen any movie like this you can probably guess every single thing that goes on in Redline. But it's the journey rather then the story that really gets you, Redline had memorable and likable characters, a gorgeous and original design, am amazing soundtrack and jaw-dropping racing, go see this if you haven't already.
