This.

Too much talking.
It sucks.
Why is this an movie? Should of put ova instead.
If it had a season then this will made sense.
Ripoff version of redline
Dat girl ass
6/10

look tailenders came out within a month gap of redline. dont really think its an 100% rip off. like wouldnt be surprised if it had the same people working on each anime, but, dont be so quick to slander

Someone uploaded this to YouTube not too long ago, which is how I discovered it. I have to say, it's a shame the studio never did anything else, with a bit more work and experience they could have made some great stuff. Overall, I give this a solid 6/10 and I'm surprised it's not rated at least a 7.5/10

Just finished it recently and I loved it.. especially the main cast
I would also like to share my opinion on that ending.

It seems to me that he won that race right when he said "this isn't our finish line!" at the end (she somehow heard him say it)... i think that they will meet in a few years cos it was only cca 50 seconds after he separated from her in that place, so it shouldn't be that long... maybe she figured that out too right when she heard him...
Well, i might be wrong, but i like the idea of it..

What do you think?
Would be good reason for sequel...hehe

Neat film for sure, had a nice time overall. I watched Redline before this one, but what was neat was seeing two different, but in many ways similar, animation styles and techniques. Seems like Madhouse just has more to pump into their film, but as a pure visual experience both films were a joy; just rather weak lore-wise, but that isn't a big deal either to me personally given the nature of these films.

I just finished watching it, the story and animation were great but the race was short and not interesting but I still want its sequel.

best way to describe this 'movie' is that it was overall a wasted effort. Felt like this was ad to something racing game but apparently it wasn't.

Story was 11/10. The author must have wild imagination skills. I wish it was longer, had developed characters and put a little more effort into worldbuilding.

As is, I am not sure why this was even made. Maybe it is an abandoned full length movie. Or maybe it was made to demonstrate the skills of company Picograph.

Anyway, great movie. I am glad I watched it. If this was a full-length movie like Redline, I think it would be one of my favorites.

Basically, a weaker version of Redline but that still means a lot. Some really funky stuff with excellent Gainax esque character designs and CG ranging from decent to mid. Overall, solid 8 but would have way better if had the same type of production like Redline and if it was longer

That "Loser King" fellow surely looked a bit like Dio from the back lol. The story is a total mishmash of concepts that sound fun, though.

pretty interesting concept, kind of fun! damn sure not comparable to Redline other than the racing aspect but kinda neat in its own right

Loved the story and the animation, too bad it was short so things got rushed, I wish there was a full series of it,
I'll give it an 8, if it was a full movie it would've received the same popularity of Redline if not more because of the story.

Redline but shorter and crazier, I’d say a mix of Redline and Dead Leaves. Love it, I wish it was longer.
