"Redline" Review:
Redline is a Japanese animation movie about racing, unlike anything you've ever seen before. Produced by Madhouse, with second key animation by Gainax, music from James Shimoji and a cast and crew pumped with everlasting potential. The main character, JP has the classic Japanese gangster hairstyle, the 'Japanese' team in the race look like otaku and every other male are heavily muscled. The girls are of course sexualised beyond what any ecchi anime could achieve. The characters give the film its flavour and they're incredibly fun and amazing to behold on screen.
