![]() Amphibious Automobile: Sonoshee's Crab Sonoshee, which has the advantage of driving on water due to her anti-gravity engine.Incidentally, rather than jeering with all the other onlookers at her as she tried to get her car out of a ditch on her own while proclaiming that she'd compete in the Redline race, JP admired Sonoshee's determination and so as a result took up racing professionally. All Play: Sonoshee and JP as revealed in a flashback. Affably Evil: Secretary Titan, with a dash of Wicked Cultured as well.Abnormal Ammo: JP's mechanic Old Man Mole has a revolver shotgun that fires screwdrivers, and he uses it to devastating effect during his Big Damn Heroes rescue of Frisbee.And if that's not enough for you, check out almost ten subbed minutes of it here and as of late December 2011 it has been released on Bluray and DVD in the UK, with the official North American release to follow on January 17th 2012. Not that REDLINE feels or looks like a mash-up of different styles – somewhere in the visual chaos it unrelentingly throws at its audience it becomes something that is far more than the mere sum of parts, a unique piece of animation that at times doesn't even feel like anime in the traditional sense.Ĭheck out the totally sweet trailer. Visually, it's easy to see that Koike is a huge fan of western graphic art, and has been influenced as much by French comic artist Jean "Moebius" Giraud, the US animated film Heavy Metal, cult UK sci-fi comic 2000 AD, and even the Star Wars movies as much as he has by the likes of Katsuhiro Otomo, Hiroyuki Imaishi or Leiji Matsumoto. Produced by Madhouse Studios, the directorial debut feature of Takeshi Koike and recently released in 2010 after spending half a decade in development, REDLINE is a racer movie unlike anything seen before and potentially one of the most daring and important anime movies of the decade. As a result, two racers have already dropped out, and JP (through a popularity contest) is voted in. It turns out the venue has been announced- and it's the fascistic, authoritarian military superpower state of Roboworld, who aren't exactly pleased about their world being used as an impromptu racetrack and make it perfectly clear that they intend to stop the racers with extreme prejudice before the starting flag has even been dropped. Waking up in hospital with an arm and a leg in casts and his dreams in tatters, JP is shocked to find he has in fact made the grade. Unfortunately, his prized yellow machine TRANSAM suddenly "malfunctions" just short of the finish line. One such racer, 'Sweet JP', almost achieves it. Naturally, everyone wants to take part, but to do so they have to qualify in one of the Yellowline races first. Set in the far future, REDLINE is about the galaxy's biggest and deadliest illegal road race, only held every five years at a secret location not unveiled until practically the last minute.
