      In retrospect, the Trans Am is an allegory of Madhouse as a studio. Redline almost broke Madhouse, but it recovered to animate works like Frieren later on.

    Best animation I have ever seen.

    And I am a sucker for good animation, I actively hunt for it.

    I really have to see this. Haven’t found much time to watch long series(es?) lately but movies have kind of scratched that media itch. Finished Mind Game yesterday (incredible movie btw), maybe I’ll watch this tomorrow night.

    Does it make sense? No, not even on repeat watches. Is every single frame the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen? Yes, without doubt or hesitation

  • thank you, I’ve been trying to find the name of this for a very long time because I wanna watch it. I know it’s the right one because of the hair.

    The only other thing I know is *“FIRE THE HYPER DESINTEGRATOR CANNON AT FUNKY BOY!”"

    I can’t wait

    I rewatch it at least yearly.

    Part of what I’ve grown to appreciate about it is that behind all of that colorful mayhem there’s actually a simple, wholesome, satisfying story that might’ve come straight from a golden age Hollywood movie.

    At some level, it’s just the story of a determined and honorable man who’s finally gotten the chance he deserves, his best friend and long-time partner who likely doesn’t deserve his trust, but that he’s going to go ahead and trust anyway, and the woman he was seemingly destined to love. It’s really just straightforward hope and betrayal and loyalty and determination and redemption and love.

    Well… and lots of other stuff too.

    I love anime like this. just pure visual candy. I’d also suggest to people who just want none-thinking visual candy Anime to check out Dead Leaves. it’s a quick like 50min romp that is just weird, bizarre, and fun.

    Redline is the movie that proved to me that an anime doesn’t need a super clever plot to be a 10/10 experience. What a blast.

    those first 10 mins of the movie had me standing on the couch… what a masterful way to get you super involved in a movie before you hardly even know what’s going on!

    PS: MACHINNNEHEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAADDDDDD!
