The story is pretty simple and linear yet well written and entertaining. As this follows a dynamic trio and their racing rivals it gets wilder and wilder. The story shift in another gear when we arrive with the big bad boys. Some puzzling pieces fall in place as we find out who or why the race gets slowed down. The bad part is how long it took to actually get on point but in the end it paid off to watch the whole thing.
The character design is done pretty well. Each character has their distinct traits but still fit together as a whole. i had some troubles with accepting Appare's behaviour as it was just plain stupid. However the payoff is that i got to see a nice character development that is not to cheesy but realistic and rewarding.
I like how Kosame can be a clown but isn't a laughing stock. He perfectly wields the mysterious aura of being a skilled samurai. This badass is the right wingman and a lovely support.
As for the rest of the characters its to be expected that most of them stick to their character design and won't change to much over time. It was fine because the characters weren't annoying or to repetitive.
The art was very nice. I missed the waxed shining chrome wheel plate shots but that's forgiven. The calm background made it easy to focus on the character and movement. The action was fluent and the colours were nice and vibrant. Overall a good job and a satisfying atheistic.
I enjoyed this goofy story much. There were some spots which could have been better executed but overall it did a great job. The catchy OP is always a banger to listen to and I would gladly see a second season.
Do you love samurais, gunslingers and a bit of racing? Then watch Redline! jk, Appara Ranman is surely an anime you should watch.
