Lmao at people watching this for romance and deep female characters (or deep characters at all)



This movie blew my mind to shit. And it felt amazing. Plot was convoluted and weird, but my enjoyment was like 35 / 10.


Exactly. The fuck is wrong with people?
This is MAL: OMG WTF I EXPECTED LEGEND OF THE GALACTIC HEROES MEETS MONSTER I'M DISAPPOINT =(


Instead, we get:

-100% hand-drawn art(even the vehicles, machines, and big monsters!)
-cool guys; sexy and hot chicks
-an amazing visual treat with a million things happening at once on each frame HOLY SHIT THAT ANIMATION(please watch in high definition!)
-Sonoshee's tits
-an anime movie made for a western audience this time around with no loli or moe girls to speak of anywhere
-decent story and over-the-top characters(come on, how could you not like JP and Sonoshee and their budding romance?)

This whole movie was a rare event, a nostalgic reminder of what anime used to be like, and unfortunately we'll never get to see another one like it in the future.

*slow clap*
Well said, good sir, well said. No matter what people say, it was hell of an enjoyable 2 hours.

But ugh.. That ending..
"Cool. I love you too, JP."

Story = There's a race, people want to win it.

Simple as that, it doesn't subtract from a crazy good movie. So the giant monsters fought, do we care about the outcome? They aren't essential to the plot. This film was enjoyable the whole way through, with what I consider a retro sci-fi plot and amazing animation. The characters aren't deep, but they don't have to be. Oh, and the OST was godly.

9/10

freaking awesome. I've watched many times.
Both japanese and english dub are nice, but I prefer english.
Takuya Kimura and Tadanobu Asano are not as good as Aoi Yuu.
I can't hear their voice clearly sometimes.

Do you guys know what JP stands for?
It's his real name, "Joshua Punkhead."
Punkhead... lol

Besides the shitty romance and abrupt ending, that was fucking orgasmic.

Heavy Metal meets Speed Racer meets Gurren Laggan meets

A wonderful blend of awesome to create a fucking amazing.
No convoluted plot to get in the way of the real meat and bones.
The animation and the action.

Plots simple enough to carry the viewer. And that's the point of a plot.
Just because it's not LotGH doesn't mean the plot is bad. Time and place.

Plot gives us a reason why we have bitches wanting to race.
Why we have bitches not wanting the race to happen.
And thats about all they needed.

All hand drawn...7 years...dat dedication...
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

I think the last five minutes of this movie was was one long series of explosions. It's a fun little movie but there are so many problems with the plot. It's pretty obvious the story went through a series of rewrites with emphasis on various aspects of the plot constantly changing. The result is there are several subplots that go absolutely nowhere and some of these subplots had me more interested than the main plot of the anime which was actually pretty dry and basic.

Still overall I did enjoy the movie. It had a cool style and very nice animation. Some of the characters were kind of cool in a silly way as well. I just wish the plot had been tighter and that they either cut the unfinished subplots or give then a little resolution. I gave it a pretty low 7 out of 10 more like a 6.5.

Had it since day one but somehow avoided watching it. Was almost turned off by the anthropomorphic designs, but well all the humanoid characters were interesting and creative, especially the robotic character. I thought the plot presented did the movie justice as it wasn't too deep and overly ornate but detailed enough to get me to care for Rukia, I mean Sonoshee, and for Sweet JP, Frisbee, and his mechanic. Jiraiya, I mean, the president plotline was interesting too even if really basic.

I liked the characters and all that many of them entailed. So many decent ones amongst the factions, like Superboins were funny, as well as Miki & Todoroki, the space cop, sciencey dude with Roboworld, president, and the military commander there.

Criticisms would be the pointless fanservice moment
, no explanation of how people were bleeding spontaneously at times, the
, awkward yet cool lack of obeying the rules of physics, and on the ending
.

I also liked the commentary during the races and the introduction of each of the participants in their commercial skits. I also loved hearing so many familiar voices, Rukia from Bleach, Jiraiya, Gaara, and Pakkun from Naruto.

8/10.

Sometimes, watching something mindless for the sheer entertainment value of it can be therapeutic. The thing is, this movie fills that criteria and at the same time presents a very simple and entertaining story (oh and so ridiculously funny).

Thrilling and full of adrenaline, Redline proved to be really enjoyable with its refreshing art style and fantastic animation.

This movie reminded me of TTGL in some aspects.

Wow. This movie was darn epic. It's been on my PTW list for a while, but I can't figure out WHY I didn't watch it sooner. 10/10.

This movie was beyond amazing, the only 'flaw' I can find is the abrupt end.


I was thinking the same thing. Everything else in this movie was beyond awesome expect for that abrupt ending.
