    It's also great that the president is not at all phased by the fact that there's a ship with impossible propulsion, but rather that it's in *his* airspace

      That, and an earlier scene where he's talking to his commanding officers about what he wants done to the Redline Racers. The last guy, bad with names, isn't standing at attention. Instead of berating the guy, the president "shows" his guy how to stand at attention, without cutting himself off.

      One theory for Redline is that the race was placed on that planet specifically to expose and destroy Funky Boy, to cripple their ability to fight a war.

    I think my favorite part of this movie was that none of the racers died. Now if you've seen this movie in its entirety you know full well at least most of them wouldn't have made it.
    That includes those two twins. The girls from super grass, gori rider, Lynch Man would've definitely survived.
    But most of them wouldn't have made it.
    So instead of killing the racers the writers killed everyone else🤣🤣🤣

    The plot of Redline in a nutshell: A bunch of sci-fi dumbasses get set loose to race on a planet full of militaristic dumbasses unleashing the largest dumbass of all, Funky Boy, who is no match for the biggest dumbass of all, Sweet JP. And despite what I just said, it is one of the best anime I've ever watched.

      Calling them incompetent isn't exactly fair. They were basically invaded by a galactic spanning corporation that had a sponsor that could use theoretical methods of travel. Basically it was like a cavemen having a bunch of race cars teleport into their cave.

    Redline is underrated as hell and its an absolute MASTERPIECE that, i dont think will EVER be topped
    Redline essentially looked at akira's pretiness and smooth animation and they went 'huh, cute. Here's how its done for real' and the madmen actually did it
    They created one of the most bombastic, gorgeous pieces of animation that has ever been made
    Its impossible to understate just how awesome and excellent Redline is. If there was 'peak anime' this'd be it. Hands down.

    • @DPXEntertainment
      @DPXEntertainment 2 месяца назад

      There's merit in both. Akira's city shots were absolutely spectacular. The stylized character movement animation was also applaudable, much like Redline.
      Adding to that, I'd also place admiration to Macross Plus for high-caliber anime work.

The fact that the magician clan figured out a hyperspace drive that Roboworld thinks is theoretical, and the absolute anger of Mr. President at the fact they did. He's not even angry that them attacking him, he's just outraged at their capacity to pass beyond the theoretical limits.
