That one guy saying "Funky Boy" in the most stereotypical accented japanglish will be stuck in my head forever.

It's two hours of the most meticulously beautiful hand draw animation. It's utterly batshit bonkers wacky racers in space. It's silly and fun and you should absolutely watch it. The hero has a pompadour and drives like a 70s muscle car against people racing in hover tanks and space ships.

Cw: some awooga, cartoon violence, but it's been a few years so idk what else, but it's so ridiculous gorgeous.

A lot of the awooga was fine for me though, because it was more like "she's chilling in her house and its hot out, of course she's topless." Still spray-bottle because the context of the movie makes it clear it's hornybait and not just "showing a woman being normal about her body" but it is showing a woman being normal. Overall a 5/10 on th- NOOOOO NO OFFICERS I DIDNT MEAN ANY OF IT YOU TOOK ME OUT OF CONTEXT NOOO

Yeah that's fair. it's definitely an "awooga" scene, but you're right, she is just wandering around the house watching TV.

8 years was spent on it with 100% hand drawn animation cells in what is quite possibly the most blown budget on an anime of all time. There is not a single frame that wasn't completely hand drawn.

There is nothing else that compares to its animation.

The highest energy moments of almost any action movie you've seen is Redline's baseline. It's one of the few movies where the breathless review blurbs are completely accurate.

Watch the trailer, the animation is absolutely bonkers.

One of my faves, a true masterpiece

We already watched it on hextube but I'm always down to watch this one again

Does anyone know where you can find a copy now? The whole thing used to be on youtube. Kinda want to snap it up before it gets destroyed by some corp. deeper-sadness
