Review: Redline

Story: 3.5/5

Animation: 5/5

Design: 5/5

Voice Acting: 4/5

  An endearing, if not all to original, story about an underdog long shot racer named JP who is trying to win the big race, Redline. This movie comes to us from the creative mind of director Takeshi Koike via MADHOUSE Studios,  thank you for Summer Wars by the way. Wonderfully original designs and amazing fluid animation make this a top tier production.  Beware these designs are not for everyone, if you like your anime kawaii and cuddly then these gritty designs might not agree with you, I for one loved them. I mentioned it earlier but it really cannot be over stated the animation this movie looks amazing. The amount of action and the speed of the action are incredible. You can really tell that alot of time and effort went into this production, which is more than I can say for some movies now a day. The voice acting does the trick here, without  any real dramatic scenes it's hard for the actors to really flex their muscles, but no ones is annoying so it works. Overall I loved this movie, while the story isn't to original it's really just a "vehicle", pun intended, for what this movie is all about speed and action. Just watch the trailer and if you like what you see you will like the movie. Just one peek and you'll racing for the Redline.
