Line 6: 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. 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. As a result, two racers have already dropped out, and JP (through a popularity contest) is voted in. 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. 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 (animation)\|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. 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.

It was dubbed under Manga Entertainment. Line 65: * [[Exploding Fishtanks]]: An entire restaurant ''full'' of fish tanks. * [[Expy]]: Most of the other racers and characters are imported from previous Takeshi Koike / Katsuhito Ishii productions (e.g. Miki and Todoroki are from ''[[The Mole Brothers]]'', and Trava and Shinkai were from a four part series called ''Trava: Fist Planet'') Johnny Boya and Lynchman's car is the [[Batman\|Batmobile]] taken [[Up to Eleven]]. And Johnny Boya is [[Beavis and ~~Butthead~~Butt-Head\|Beavis]], down to the voice. JP looks somewhat like [[No More Heroes\|Travis Touchdown]]. ** According to some, Shinkai looks and sounds reminiscent of [[Futurama\|Dr Zoidberg]] Line 183: {{reflist}} [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Anime]] [[Category:~~Red~~Anime ~~Line~~of the 2010s]]
