THIS IS GAR MAN! I LOVE GAR! They are walking down the street with their uber machoness and revealing sexuality, making everybody to just drop their jaws and look for their ejected eyeballs by the awesomeness.
Plus, none of them are fakin wimps like most of modern shows are full of today. They are all quite the crazy folks risking their lives for a silly race but then again the whole point of the movie is to bring out their idealism to heights of mount Everest, so they fit the whole thing. We basically have 8 cars with one or two drivers in each, and every one of them is there for fame and glory. ZZZVIIINNN! Just like the story, the characters are also nothing complicating. I mean, seriously, don’t try to make any sense of it because you will be facepalming every 30 seconds and you will miss all the awesomeness of the action. Everything follows the rule of cool and thus you get these insane stunts and explosions which if the story was trying even a little bit to show realistically, would have resulted to the horrible deaths of all the competitors in just a few minutes after the race begins. You are not watching this for its substance but for its over-the-top style end of story. Although there are some attempts to flavor it further by inserting some secondary events, such as miners trying to sabotage a military facility, which is hiding a weapon of mass destruction, which goes out of control, which causes laser satellites to fire upon the planet, which causes Katsuhiro Otomo to think about suing them for shamelessly stealing all his ideas from Akira, down to it the story is by far the least of your concerns and by far the weakest aspect of the film. That is all, do not look any deeper for more, these guys just live to race. So, just like your typical blood-boiling racing movie, the goal everybody has in the story is to win in a race. But it’s ok I consider Red Line to be the Gurren Lagann of movies. Studio Madhouse once again proves that it’s the king of anime series with this beauty, and if GAINAX hadn’t made Gurren Lagann while the film was still in the making, it would have caused an unparallel tsunami of excitement worldwide in its stead.
It is not a first they did a similar style in Dead Leaves and Trava: Fist Planet but the budget alone makes this ten times cooler. It has this style that makes it feel like a stylish graphic novel and soundtracks full of beat. I mean DAMN it looks super epic gorgeous just to look at. And DAMN I must say the results are rewarding you in the fullest. VRRRRUUUUM! The production took seven whole years just to guarantee the necessary quality and style that such a project would require. Many others tried to redo its fame but none managed to do so… until this baby came out. Anime and racing go way back as the original Speed Racer but it was only after Initial D came around that people started to care about the genre in those weird Asian cartoons. On a secondary level it will appeal dearly to anyone who loves great animation, over the top action, and not much of a plot to tire his mind while looking at the pretty lights. This movie ( which has absolutely no relation to One Piece ) is aimed at fans of racing movies, such as The Fast and the Furious.
