Review of Redline

I bet that you could show an anime aficionado who somehow hadn't seen Redline any scene from it, say it was an upcoming movie, and they wouldn’t question you. Hell, I’d be amazed if you couldn’t do the same five years from now. This outstandingly over-the-top racing film came out over a decade ago, and it still looks better than any of the anime I've seen since. The film was developed by Madhouse (one of the most beloved anime studios out there) over the course of seven years, and the result is the most visually impressive animated film I’ve ever seen. In addition to thejaw-dropping animation, Redline has pitch perfect (dubbed) voice acting, a soundtrack that absolutely slaps, and outrageous designs for its characters, cars - if you can even call all of the racing vehicles cars - and settings. It's style over substance, sure, but who could possibly care when it's this mind-bendingly cool?
