Review of Redline

If you’re unsure if you want to watch Redline then just take a look at the pilot episode. That episode itself was the reason why this movie piqued my interest. You can find the English dubbed on Youtube. First and foremost, with 100,000 hand-made drawings, Redline’s animation was by far one of the most well-done (maybe a congratulations in term of steak) anime movie I have ever seen. Words can not describe how surreal it is to see drawn frames of multiple racing vehicles so fluid put together in high-packed motions. It accurately made me believe the heavy strain of each and every car takewhen they’re on the track, especially in those tense moments where you wonder what unexpected trick is gonna happen next, one after the after.
The sound played a huge part in engaging me to watch this movie, as is with a lot of the series that I’ve decided to watch. They really knocked it off the park on this one with how well-mixed it is with the overall atmosphere and vibe of each settings and engaging narrative.
But this show does have a few minor flaws that we can overlook. Without spoiling, the interactions between the 2 main characters sometimes seems a bit artificial, borderline bizarre. It might be explained during the movie but it still felt pretty weird for my taste. HOWEVER, the voice actors really outperformed on this one, both from the Japanese version and the English version. I would even be more inclined to say that I prefer the English dub in this case. The delivery of the lines from the main character’s VA was just mwaa (chef kiss). Really made me believe that he was meant to play that playboy type character

The story is fairly simple, it’s a racing tournament with its own twists.
Just by how clean the animation is, I’d definitely recommend you to watch this. So if you’re deaf, don’t have the ability to smell or taste, or any other disabilities, but can still see, then this 7 years in the making anime is a much watch.

Just be careful to not drive pass the speed limit after watching this while listening to the absolute banger of a track Yellow Line by James Shimoji, because that’d be a crime and you might send yourself, or others, to the afterlife and that’s not good because you won’t be able to experience the joy of Redline again.
