I never thought that a single 27 min episode would be good enough for a movie.. stunningly enough Tailenders broke the record in this case, utilizing a meager half an hour this movie gave me an unexpectedly good and entertaining experience.

The story is set in future when mankind plants Terraformers on planets in an attempt to colonize them. By going haywire Terraformers produce disastrous consequences of tectonic shifts, environmental changes and 'stampede'.The protagonist, having an engine as his heart, must now participate in a precarious race with the Terraformer as the final destination risking his life to achieve what the Loser King couldn't 100 ...

I spent a couple of minutes trying to find info on Tailenders but came up with very little. This 27-minute short movie has often been compared to the phenomenal full movie Redline, either favorably or derisively for being a copy. Oddly enough, Tailenders aired a mere month after Redline’s debut at the Locarno International Film Festival. It would’ve basically been impossible for it to have been made in that timeframe even as short as it is. It’s much more likely Tailenders took inspiration from what little they saw in ...

Disappointing. The "Movie" gives no time for character development, so as you go through the badly explained and clichéd script you don't even care about the characters. Also the movie seems to be extremely scruffy, I felt seeing a reupload of an all cut movie from youtube, actually I thought that was it and right after I was done I tried to find info about his missing pieces, but in fact there wasn't, that was the movie. But it has some good features of the movie, like the character design, I was really hyped to see what the pink haired girl would do in the ...

Back in 2009, when Redline was released, it got a lot of praise and attention for it’s fantastic animation and artstyle as well as it’s great fast paced action and colorful characters. But there was another similar highly stylized and fast paced racing anime that was released around the same time. That went relatively unnoticed due to the attention that Redline was getting. That anime was Tailenders, released only two months after Redline.

The plot takes place on planet Terulus, long after terraformers were used to try and repair the environment, only for them to go haywire and ravage the surface of the planet for centuries, ...

Mid.

Thats the only word to describe it. Its so far from being a disappointment, its worse. After you watch redline you are ITCHING for more of the same. This felt like a rushed idea that had been funded only KINDA. Character sucked, race sucked, stakes undersold, no time to understand wtf is with this tore up ass earth, and everything had a proper noun. 0 time to understand and even less time to care. Nothing charming, not even pulling a lick of wit from Redline. Character design and dialogue too gimmicky to go for entertaining. Very disappointed and very okay with never watching or ...

Rollerblading T-Rex catches fire after fucking up, and a beautiful love story between woman and man car gundam ensues. Also Dio Zeus on a robo horse. There's also a sub-plot about terraformers, but who gives a fuck about that when you have infinite super sanic speed horse Zeus car man race, did I mention prism head robo man? He's a character that is kinda of relevant. All in all, great short, would absolutely recommend the watch. Side note, I'm willing to wager this will be the only review left for another two years, in which case, hello to the person who reviews this in 2021.

Tailenders was really mid.
It's 27 minutes, feel like 35-40 minutes.
and they felt as if nothing happened in the first 15 minutes, and neither in the last 4.

The coolest scene is at the very beginning, a race involving the video-gamey ghostcar of an overly-humble driver named "Loser King".
It lasts less than 5 minutes.

After the intro scene, there's a very confusing one.
A girl enters the room, speaks, then touches the protagonist (in no useful way), who awakes just fine without his heart.
