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.
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🤣🤣🤣
@@furionmax7824I think it is implied that the magic or powers of the twins' princess saves them right after finishing the race, that's why they stop and are levitating
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.
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.
Their is so much lore amd story to this universe i really wish it was explored more. Plus I wonder how many bio weapons like Funky Boy were made and used before the peace treaty made them illegal and if their are more.
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.
2:17 Geo: Yeah, Funky Boy is the only chance we got toget Voltron’s troops, it’s been sleeping down there for god knows how long, when it wakes up I’m sure it’s gonna be pissed.
"I have a feeling we aren't supposed to be seeing this" I dunno why I find this character announcer so charming just from that line. He's seen so much- but even Funky Boy was just too much
ok we need a full series or just a whole MCU type of movies centered arround Red Line there´s so much shit to explore how JP got his whole jail shit, Sonoshi´s rise to racedom, what happened in Super Grass for their princess to be so small, why Robo World is like this, Trava´s whole life pre racer (i thinkthats been done) and hell might aswell see how Captain Toblot became Lynchman´s antagonist
To me Redline stands out because it tells so much with so little. You can rewatch it multiple times and pick out all the little details that expand the plot and characters without the modern "we're going to dictate every last item" style story telling
+ plot armor time. two oа racer's vehicles had иeen destroyed during the trip from entry poing. The pink robo-girl now and that bug-like bronze car when we seen episode with it being crashed into the track.
no, it wasn't commercially successful but madhouse is one of the biggest and oldest studios in Japan, they don't put money on projects they can't afford to lose. It is unfortunate though because this was basically the last time they took a risk on something interesting.
Little witch academia started from crowdfunding, i'm not sure why it's not becoming more popular Hell, many old jp game devs already create spiritual successor for their games (which are mostly stuck in rights jail) via kickstarter
love how the "bad guys" in this movie are just constantly getting clowned on by the racers, their own arrogance/incompetence, and even their own weapons lmfao
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.

0:41 I remember hearing this line, and it was absolutely hilarious. I remember being stressed, but it was absolutely hilarious. The wording of it reveals so many things in one statement. 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. Such a beautiful line and scene. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I don't understand why this anime gets hype. The writing, and character development are very light, the bad guys are cheesy. Perhaps there wasn't much like it at the time this was released? I respect that a lot of the animation is quite detailed but in 2023 there's a lot more great animations that I 'd recommend with characters and events you'll care about.
Because it is an absolute spectacle, with a very coherent theme. And no, I roeally couldnt give you many movies, even contemporary that really compare.

He already know that ship works on magic
Andyou dont question magic
it's a political comment. everyone knows it exists but it's meant to be kept secret, not unlike funky boy

Don't forget that aside from a few dust particle affects, this movie is entirely traditionally animated.
That's what I was going to say.
Whoever came up with this was definitely a wild person.
Might even say they where mad
Have you not seen the anime movie Dead Leaves That one is a acid trip.
You could also say, that they crossed a certain line
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.
They're whacky, kooky, maybe even just a spot bananas.
Deadpan saying "How dare they violate out airspace using navigation that's supposed to be theoretical" is absolutely amazing.

The sound effects on Funky Boi's screams reminded me way too much of Evangelion Angels...
Ramiel type beat
Wouldnt be surprised if one influenced the other.

sounds like screaming cats for me
Try not to lose an eye and arm over it.
This is a truly special work of art.

Now, I don't speak Japanese, but I could've sworn at 2:10 I heard him say "Hentairu Cosplrayo"
Every single racer and major character in this show could either be the star of their own anime or be a villain in one of the other character's anime.
ok we need a full series or just a whole MCU type of movies centered arround Red Line there´s so much shit to explore how JP got his whole jail shit, Sonoshi´s rise to racedom, what happened in Super Grass for their princess to be so small, why Robo World is like this, Trava´s whole life pre racer (i thinkthats been done) and hell might aswell see how Captain Toblot became Lynchman´s antagonist
The formation of the Red Line circuit itself, government-defying underworld juggernaut that it is.
I'd argue *not* knowing any of that makes this work. The more I see of the MCU the less interesting it all gets. Mystery is good

they're not strictly bad guys. and the plot armor still works, like the key part of story line. But for comedy effect it's here and just in place!

what a crazy movie
i hadnt noticed before that their emblems look like swastikas lol.

I think the whole nazi aesthetic with the flags decor and uniforms contribute. Could just be cognitive bias
Why their logo looks like... 1940...?
one of the few animes where i think the dub is far superior. this movie is incredible on acid

It's not really "hyped", it's just seen by many to be a hugely underatted show (which it arguably is) considering the quality of animation
Like what?

Its just not for you and that is okay.
It’s a movie about FZero, all looks, flash and vibe and modern anime has no art style anymore. Too much rushing and computers
