![]() ![]() But what really stands out in this movie is the voices of the female characters, because they are much better than their male counterparts. Voice acting in this movie is good overall. Race car designs are also good, except for the main female protagonist’s. Lack of black hairs in this movie is forgivable because of the settings, I’m not even sure if the main protagonist is from Earth or not. The ending (the REDLINE race itself) is predictable but is still a very good watch, if you like action.Ĭharacter designs in this movie is excellent although not far removed from the designs seen in past titles in futuristic sci-fi shounen genre like Trigun or Cowboy Bebop. I don’t think the main female protagonist get the same privileges that those two has. And only certain characters benefits from this, and they are the main male protagonist and his mechanic. But unlike Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou and just like the Ponyo movie, the flow of the storyline in this movie is excellent from the start until the end, despite its lack of substance.Ĭharacter developments in this movie is pretty minimal, mainly consists of some well-placed flashbacks. The pacing of the thin storyline is thick and fast (a good thing I guess), even during the part when there is no racing. Basically this movie shows some racing at the start, then shows some preparations before the big race, and of course, the REDLINE itself. Storywise, this movie is no different really than the anime I reviewed here before Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou the plot has very little substance. The main male protagonist managed to get into the race after a couple of the original finalists withdrew from the race and he has to dodge missiles from competitors and the army while trying to win the race and getting the woman. Set up far away in the futuristic future, REDLINE is an illegal racing tournament that takes place every 5 years at a random location, and watched by fans across the universe. Not being saddled with the blurry animation technique penalty but has the sport genre handicap being applied to it instead, will this movie actually matches the hype I have heard about it and take the title? Seven years in the making, with all frames being hand-drawn, this 2009 title will then challenge the ‘Anime of the Year 2009’ incumbent Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. ![]() Just like I have mentioned in my previous blog post just a couple of days ago, today’s review is going to be for the long-awaited feature-length anime movie titled REDLINE.
