Redline is one of my favorite animated pieces of work ever. Its so beautiful. The character designs are unique and memorable, and its super fun. The first time I saw it a friend described it as "Imagine a universe where aerodynamics don't matter, and the speed of your vehicle is solely determined by how cool you look driving it."
I saw that scene in a TH-cam video and it immediately sold me, the visual style and creativity of that scene is so good I feel like I could just reach out and grab it.
Redline: the *best* sounding anime I've ever heard. From top to bottom: soundtrack, voice acting, sound effects, ambient effects... even the use of silence in this show is masterpiece.
The soundtrack of Redline alone is worth it. But I guess, like in a lot of movies, people that don't care about a nice sound system miss a lot of that.
@@KingHalbatorix Only mad cause you can't afford it? Damn. Audiophile is nothing bad and still you can get there without spending big money. Good Sound is something amazing but many people forget about it. Just look at this 8D or 9D Audio crap on TH-cam. Wow the sound moves around and it is mud and echoing like crazy... This is good sound these days?! Man this is sad... Great Sounds and Music even in movies give you so much more feeling and fun about it.
What can you do though? It seems as though if they truly don't care then they really can't be 'saved' - only radicalised into 'nega-audiophiles' like our friend *KingHalbatorix* here.
Yeah it took them seven years to make, millions to produce, and flopped harder at the worst possible time for an anime to flop for their studio... ...but.... Imagine being on the Madhouse team, standing with your fellow animators and creators, and just letting all that work wash over you as you look upon the finished product. Take it in and empathize with how _good_ it must have felt. To take a doomed dream and make it real. Not to make money...but because it just _needed_ to be done. My god....it must have felt spectacular. We can only hope to achieve this much.
It really pisses me off knowing that this film cost 30 million dollars to make and was considered a flop but it made an unbelievable piece of artwork and animation. I wish one of these Multi billionaire's would consider away with only a small portion of the wealth to create something so beautiful and amazing like the rich of the past did indicating contests to produce the most beautiful garden public park or grand architecture.... But I guess holding it all in an offshore account is cool too...
@@LunaticWithALicense Back in the day, investing into art and public works was a way to avoid getting ripped off by taxes. After the new laws and policies were implemented, for a lot of rich people, that was no longer a viable way to save money
to be apart of something so pure must have been cool. I imagine the comradery & respect for one another was through the roof. i hope the development team felt satisfied with their work. its one of the most complete works of art I've ever seen.
This movie shown me what it means to REALLY leverage every frame for maximum impact of the subject, something a non-animated feature cannot do nearly as well. The sense of speed in Redline is absolutely breathtaking. And that’s coming from someone who is normally bored by that sort of thing...
Imaginary Star Studios I would argue that Sony’s Spiderman: Enter the Spiderverse stands toe to toe when using every frame. That said both are masterpieces of animation but are not comparable apples to apples. One is a balls to the wall action flick a la Fury Road. The other is a character driven sci-fi adventure piece with great action .
This is one of the reasons I love it so much. It's simply undoable in any other medium. I can't think of any other production that harnesses hand drawn animation to this absolutely absurd extent.
Giving credit where credit is due, one masterpiece at a time. I like that. Also...I finally watched it...and holy shit...I know everyone says that it was good...but god damn. I wish I hadn't waited so long to see it.
You know what I did when I first got my hands on the Blue-ray? I made sure that nobody in the block was at home, pumped the bass and volume to eye-wobbling frequencies, pulled the couch right in front of the TV and just enjoyed the first race like I was at the IMAX. Was I numb and nearly deaf afterwards? Jup, but it sure as hell was worth it.
Redline, and many other Madhouse titles in gerneral, have made some of the greatest and fantastic animations IN THE WORLD! NinjaScroll, Wicked City, Deathnote, Cyber City Odeo, Trigun, Deathnote..and so much MORE!
Ah man. I love this movie so much. I've bought it on bluray for half a dozen friends who enjoy anime. Only a couple ended up loving it as much as I do, but everyone recognized how amazing it is. This film is a true achievement in anime. It takes my breath away every time. Goddamn. What a great movie.
i bought the bluray because this is a movie worth supporting, but the blu-ray absolutely sucks. the audio mixing takes out a lot of the OOMPH from the engines, and the subtitles are awful-looking. i still recommend people buy the blu ray, because by god this movie deserves every cent. but do watch a different version. for reference, i'm in the americas, so that's the blu ray version i'm referencing. the JP one i think it is is the better version.
Spectacular film, a visual and auditory feast. It's not really a storytelling masterpiece, but the world building is amazing and will leave you wanting to know more about this crazy universe. Space nazis that hate racing, a racing corporation that seems to own half the galaxy, a bioweapon named funkyboy, all these details and more will leave you hungry for more exploration of this universe. It won't tug at your heartstrings, it won't surprise you with complexity of characters, but this movie will get your heart PUMPING!
Just saw this yesterday. Won't be forgetting this. Watching this had me feeling like what few movies ever make you feel. Each single frame is so amazing.
I know this is an older video, but a lot of your editing really sticks out to me. Whether it be how your pictures rumble and move to display tension in your berserk video, or the small audio cues- like when JP flicks the switch in his car, and it switches right into your review. It’s really satisfying to watch and hear!
I'm so glad I got to see this, back when it was free to watch on TH-cam. God, but it's such a stellar movie. I still go back to listen to the soundtrack, every now and again.
This is actually one of the few dubs you want to watch. Manga did a great job dubbing this, but as someone who's first time viewing this masterpiece was subbed, you miss a lot reading the subs.
I saw redline a couple years after its release, it impressed me so much that I had to knew how they did, when I got educated that the ENTIRE fin was made by hand and ANALOGUE blew my mind.
One of my old time favorite anime movies ever!!! right there with Jin-Roh, Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust and Ghost in the Shell. A lot of people don't know but there is a sort o prequel to Redline called Trava: Fist Planet. In 2006 Madhouse did a teaser for Redline and that is super rare. It used to be on youtube but it got taken down, watch that to see the early designs of many of the characters and vehicles
If I had to choose to watch a single movie for the rest of my life it would be Redline. Nothing I've seen comes even close to the sheer sensation of speed and adrenaline pumping velocity that is represented to the viewer in Redline. A masterpiece 10/10.
Have to be honest, shocked i haven't seen this video sooner i watched Redline a few years back, the first time i watched it i was so enthused i rewatched in 3 more times the same week just to take in all of the action and story. Then i revisited it a few months after still not boring to re watch. the actions perfect the soundtracks on point the backstory is heartwarming the animation the art work it takes the cake for me. I can understand the time effort talent and man hours it took and really push the envelope, and how risky that can be for a business. But honestly I'd like to see more of this art style or for that matter more of this story. But at the end of the day love it or hate it. It takes alot to hit the caliber of what Redline really is for what it is. It started strong and ended right, and will keep you on the edge of your seat for 99% or it.
the fact that all Mad House animes soundtracks are in spotify makes this studio live forever in our hearths, some Trigun tracks and the super boins are always in my repeats
WaHoo! I have watch this this movie twice a month for the last year (tongue-in-cheek). The most unashamed World Building EVER. Like Made In Abyss or Howls Moving Castle, The people of a Galaxy are just there... Loving Redline and the World of Racing.
Redline is a great movie, with really good music. When I first watched it I knew I had to buy it on DVD then track down the music. I have both and I am very happy.

redline was such an amazing piece of art. the vibrant colours were just overwhelming. it even gave a vibe of the bebop and champloo which i love so much. an amazing work
Just recommended Redline to an anime fan coworker of mine today, he was particularly intrigued when I told him its 100% hand drawn. I can't wait to hear his reaction to it next week. ;)
I just stumbled across Redline and it's safe to say my jaw was on the floor. Absolutely giddy with adrenaline during the race scenes... ridiculously campy awesome fun start to finish. That movie is just mad.
How this movie went under my radar until 2021 is shocking to me because it's one of the best things I have ever watched, the sound track matches the action perfectly and get's me fired up every time, I didn't need to watch it for ten minutes to know I was going to love it more like 10 seconds.
I have sinned here too, my eyes almost came out of their orbits and my heart jumped like a speeding car, I loved it and whenever I can I recommend it! thanks for this boy!
I watched the intro race while hosting one evening and lost track of this film it sits and waits in my ps3..I plan to wake up tomorrow on my day off to enjoy and fully emerse myself in this work of art, but first more TH-cam hype on the film before bed.
Thank you very much!!! I'm planning on doing these as long as people are watching them. It's all a little rough around the edges at the moment but I hope to get better as I make more videos :)
videojoe tbh man when I first saw your vids I thought you'd have like 100k subs and I'm seriously surprised you don't. Your vids are very good in quality and I hope to see you improve too :)
The way I describe redline to people is if the podrace from star wars was the premise of the entire movie and it's just flat out better than the podrace.
This movie is a master piece, the vision and realisation is out of this world, nearly 10 years and it still looks like the movie could come in 2020. In 30 years, i'm sure it won't look dated either. This was may be a financial mistake, but this is an achievement that goes beyond monetary value, this is a work for the posterity.
_"I'm not into car related movies"_ Neither am I, and this has been one of my favorite - and most rewatched - pieces of media since I first saw it a few years ago. Definitely worth checking out, regardless of whether or not one likes cars or racing.
I just watched Redline for the first time and I am SO glad to see all this love for it in the comments section That shit was bonafide legit Glad the internet could connect me with all you fine, smart, brilliant folks
Little bummed you didn't touch more on the absolutely immaculate animation. The amount of detail, even in the tiniest of minutiae like a button push, is absolutely perfect.
Thanks, I've seen most of the movies you've talked about in your videos and I relish these gems but I have totally missed this one, never even heard of it. It's on top of my list now.
I straight up never knew about this movie until i saw the clip from the beginning of the movie and i thought it was the end of the movie, but GOT DAAAMNN if i didnt fall in love with it and immediately find a way to watch this incredible film, and gee golly i love REDLINE with all my heart... that is all.
The greatest Anime ever made, i know i know, there are others which i am well aware of and respect, but this has it all and everytime I watch it my senses are left feeling raw from the visual and audio emersion, but most importantly satisfied... The flip side to this would be A Silent Voice where every emotion is put through the wringer...
I recently showed this movie to a friend of mine who loves Madhouse but never heard of it. I made the decision to show them the dub (because I love Akihiko and his English VA) and they were mad that it took them till now to even hear about it, let alone watch it. It's a great movie
Redline's plot falls flat sometimes, and the main protagonists (JP and the girl) arent that interesting or engaging. Its definately a must watch, but dont expect complex character interactions, since the movie's strength is its animation and worldbuilding (lots of crazy designs).
@@NaN_92 this is really dumb. You can perfectly execute a compelling base story while still mantaining the thrilling visuals. If anything, developing the story better would have made those car races better and with more stakes. The ending out of nowhere where the main character declares his love to her felt especially dull because there was no lead up to that besides some flirting and flashbacks. The escalation that the movie has on the 2nd half, where they race in a heavily dangerous world filled with soldiers and shit kept having asspull after asspull and after the "big weapon" was activated it was pretty meaningless for how out of nowhere it was. If there was even smarter dialogue instead of a generic love story and a more interesting use of these crazy characters it would have been improved drastically. But that doesn't mean the movie is bad... It just has a pretty basic storyline that could have been improved upon at some parts, with generic characters and simple but sometimes generic motivations
I loved "Redline" when it first came out, but it was almost 10 years ago, i was young and lacked experienced about well animated movies, so, i thought it was amazing. But a year ago i rewatched it, and it isn't THAT good. Let's be honest, the art is amazing (design and style wise), but any people that actually knows something about animation, would see how poorly it was directed, it was too much work for the funds they had, the whole movie is completely zoomed in with a lot of loops, the animations are well made, but it is not good animation overall. And yes the story is really poor, it is obvious that the movie was rushed at the end, and badly managed. The main characters backstories are pretty basic compared to the other runners i would even say.
a character being engaging or interesting, is like.. your opinion man. a movie is not inherently bad, because it didn't appeal specifically to your needs.
Louis what you are basically saying is, pretty much this :I watched a few videos about animation, now I have a superior knowledge, and I'm an expert. just enjoy a movie, you'll sour yourself pretending to be a critic. life is better when you just enjoy it man.
This was one of the best anime movies I have ever seen, it reminded me of the excitemen I felt as a child when I used watch anime, now, all I see in youtube recomendation videos for anime is touchy feely crap, protagonists questioning why they have to fight or someone who was pulled into another world and became a slime. Anime is dying, but RED LINE is pure gold
I've watched this movie 3 times and not only do I still have goosebumps but I also generally hate watching stuff more than once. Its more than excellent and I would never judge someone jacking off to this level of animation.
Redline is one of my favorite animated pieces of work ever. Its so beautiful. The character designs are unique and memorable, and its super fun.

It's up there but I just can't put it past the score of Joe hisaishi in princess mononoke and the legend of ashitaka
For me it's PAPURIKA by Kon Satoshi
Susumu Hirasawa was phenomenal in that movie
The soundtrack of Redline alone is worth it. But I guess, like in a lot of movies, people that don't care about a nice sound system miss a lot of that.

This happens when an artists wishes to make something more than just money. Putting everything on the line and making it through Redline with Sonoshee
Its hard to believe it flopped considering how on fire it is, even years later.

me too man, me too
Also I really prefer this format of recommending one anime per video, instead of a top 10 list
top 10 dumps i took this morning.

I've probably seen Redline 10 times, and I can watch it 100 more in my lifetime
its like you can feel the passion dripping from every single frame of animation and because its hand drawn on cells it'll never get old

The opening is on TH-cam and it's reignited my love of racing games and movies. I'm not talking about the whole movie. The opening did that by itself.
Forever haunting is the Music combined with that howl of a motor at the final charge for Yellow line, that was a show of pure raw energy

I rarely watch or read something twice but I think I've watched Redline a good dozen times by now. It's just so much fun.

How this movie went under my radar until 2021 is shocking to me because it's one of the best things I have ever watched, the sound track matches the action perfectly and get's me fired up every time, I didn't need to watch it for ten minutes to know I was going to love it more like 10 seconds.
I have sinned here too, my eyes almost came out of their orbits and my heart jumped like a speeding car, I loved it and whenever I can I recommend it! thanks for this boy!
I watched the intro race while hosting one evening and lost track of this film it sits and waits in my ps3..I plan to wake up tomorrow on my day off to enjoy and fully emerse myself in this work of art, but first more TH-cam hype on the film before bed.
PLEASE NEVER STOP. THESE ARE AMAZING!!!
Thank you very much!!! I'm planning on doing these as long as people are watching them. It's all a little rough around the edges at the moment but I hope to get better as I make more videos :)
videojoe tbh man when I first saw your vids I thought you'd have like 100k subs and I'm seriously surprised you don't. Your vids are very good in quality and I hope to see you improve too :)
Haha thanks. Honestly I'm so pleased with 37! It's more than I hoped for :D
@@BeyondGhibli And now you've got more than 100k. Great job, dude! lml,
The way I describe redline to people is if the podrace from star wars was the premise of the entire movie and it's just flat out better than the podrace.
It's the only anime that kept me on my toes every seconds of it.
Hope they produce another gem like this again!
Redline is so fucking cool.... one of my all time most favorite movies
This movie is a master piece, the vision and realisation is out of this world, nearly 10 years and it still looks like the movie could come in 2020. In 30 years, i'm sure it won't look dated either.
This was may be a financial mistake, but this is an achievement that goes beyond monetary value, this is a work for the posterity.
These types of shows and movies are why mad house is my fav animation company.
I haven't seen this film and found myself bopping my head to this video.
I'm not into car related movies but I'm definitely giving this a watch.
_"I'm not into car related movies"_
Neither am I, and this has been one of my favorite - and most rewatched - pieces of media since I first saw it a few years ago.
Definitely worth checking out, regardless of whether or not one likes cars or racing.
I just watched Redline for the first time and I am SO glad to see all this love for it in the comments section
That shit was bonafide legit
Glad the internet could connect me with all you fine, smart, brilliant folks
When i first watch redline i was like why isn't there more
Trava: Fist Planet OVA is in the same universe
Free on TH-cam, though I recommend blu-ray
One of my top 10 all movie. Amazing animation.
Thank you for this review. I wouldn't have found this movie otherwise and I enjoyed the video essay so much I watched the movie straight away.
This video is a year old? Where the hell have I been??? Time to binge watch.
Subscribed!
This recommendation was perfect. I stopped this video midway to go buy Redline here on TH-cam.
Wow, could you share the link for buying it online? I thought only the blu-ray release was available
You can watch the whole movie free on TH-cam

Little bummed you didn't touch more on the absolutely immaculate animation. The amount of detail, even in the tiniest of minutiae like a button push, is absolutely perfect.
Thanks, I've seen most of the movies you've talked about in your videos and I relish these gems but I have totally missed this one, never even heard of it. It's on top of my list now.
I straight up never knew about this movie until i saw the clip from the beginning of the movie and i thought it was the end of the movie, but GOT DAAAMNN if i didnt fall in love with it and immediately find a way to watch this incredible film, and gee golly i love REDLINE with all my heart... that is all.
Ok I'm convinced. Thank you
The greatest Anime ever made, i know i know, there are others which i am well aware of and respect, but this has it all and everytime I watch it my senses are left feeling raw from the visual and audio emersion, but most importantly satisfied...
The flip side to this would be A Silent Voice where every emotion is put through the wringer...
The animation in Redline is simply gorgeous!
watched this on January and now it is one of my favorite animated movie
I recently showed this movie to a friend of mine who loves Madhouse but never heard of it. I made the decision to show them the dub (because I love Akihiko and his English VA) and they were mad that it took them till now to even hear about it, let alone watch it. It's a great movie
I saw it last night for free on the Tubi App. This is on my top 5 now.🤘🏻
I’ve already seen the movie and I got chills at least five times during the video.
Redline's plot falls flat sometimes, and the main protagonists (JP and the girl) arent that interesting or engaging. Its definately a must watch, but dont expect complex character interactions, since the movie's strength is its animation and worldbuilding (lots of crazy designs).
Not sure how you expect development of significant character depth while maintaining high octane visuals all within 1 hour 30 mins, but OK.
@@NaN_92 this is really dumb. You can perfectly execute a compelling base story while still mantaining the thrilling visuals. If anything, developing the story better would have made those car races better and with more stakes. The ending out of nowhere where the main character declares his love to her felt especially dull because there was no lead up to that besides some flirting and flashbacks. The escalation that the movie has on the 2nd half, where they race in a heavily dangerous world filled with soldiers and shit kept having asspull after asspull and after the "big weapon" was activated it was pretty meaningless for how out of nowhere it was. If there was even smarter dialogue instead of a generic love story and a more interesting use of these crazy characters it would have been improved drastically. But that doesn't mean the movie is bad... It just has a pretty basic storyline that could have been improved upon at some parts, with generic characters and simple but sometimes generic motivations
I loved "Redline" when it first came out, but it was almost 10 years ago, i was young and lacked experienced about well animated movies, so, i thought it was amazing. But a year ago i rewatched it, and it isn't THAT good.
Let's be honest, the art is amazing (design and style wise), but any people that actually knows something about animation, would see how poorly it was directed, it was too much work for the funds they had, the whole movie is completely zoomed in with a lot of loops, the animations are well made, but it is not good animation overall.
And yes the story is really poor, it is obvious that the movie was rushed at the end, and badly managed. The main characters backstories are pretty basic compared to the other runners i would even say.
a character being engaging or interesting, is like.. your opinion man. a movie is not inherently bad, because it didn't appeal specifically to your needs.
Louis what you are basically saying is, pretty much this :I watched a few videos about animation, now I have a superior knowledge, and I'm an expert.
just enjoy a movie, you'll sour yourself pretending to be a critic. life is better when you just enjoy it man.
This was one of the best anime movies I have ever seen, it reminded me of the excitemen I felt as a child when I used watch anime, now, all I see in youtube recomendation videos for anime is touchy feely crap, protagonists questioning why they have to fight or someone who was pulled into another world and became a slime.
Anime is dying, but RED LINE is pure gold
This popped in on my feed and I watched Redline and I was not disappointed .
I love the fact that the sound track is like 20 min shorter than the movie. Meaning there Is music through most the movie
I've watched this movie 3 times and not only do I still have goosebumps but I also generally hate watching stuff more than once.
Its more than excellent and I would never judge someone jacking off to this level of animation.
Probably the most joyous, WTF 90 mins. of my life. REDLINE!
Well...maybe its not much of a life....but, damn. Whatamovie!
This movie is exactly what we imagined as kids playing toy cars but magnified to a degree of beauty and detail that is beyond belief
SEVEN YEARS
HAND DRAWN
EVERY FRAME IS A GODDAMN WALLPAPER
Thank you for making this video!
I'm sold. I'm sold on the first twenty or so seconds alone.
