more warnings
- it is anime as shit
- how beautiful the animation supposedly is gets talked up a lot, but the way it actually works is there are two noticeable kinds of animation: in scenes where there is not a lot of action, it is really choppy and stilted. in scenes where there is a lot of action it is smooth as butter but there is so much shit compressed onto the screen that what action there is is incomprehensible
- it is stylized in a way that you may find visually offensive (I know I did)
- I found it incredibly boring
basically from what I've been able to tell if you love anime or drawings you will find something to like about it but if you don't then ehhhh

this statement is coming from a guy that followed the action in the film Speed Racer on his first viewing
Redline only really has one gratuitous tit shot, and it's not that bad in the grand scale of things.
EDIT: To go against Dichotomy -
1. Saying it's anime as shit implies a lot of things to different people. There are no moe little girls. There is a lot of stuff that would not be out of place in the Speed Racer movie. I mean, shit, this is basically the Speed Racer movie multiplied by Star Wars.
2. Even the filler scenes are beautifully done. When I got my copy I just sat down and watched it a few times with subtitles off to catch all the little details. There are maybe two short conversation scenes where the animation in the tiniest bit askew, but even those are well done by the standards of almost any other animated film. And when the key animation is well-done (and this movie has more key animation done by the lead artist team - including the director himself - than almost any other animated film ever) it is spot-the-fuck on.
3. Takeshi Koike's style is definitely different, but I love it. This is really an opinion thing. It simply accentuates and exaggerates different things than the average anime style does. Like I said earlier, it carries a certain air of French animation about it. One of my favorite Koike scenes is in World Record, when he deliberately shows the way Olympic sprinters move under a high speed camera. But then I also find the art style in Redline to be a more appealing than the art style in World Record - it's less exaggerated.
4. This is just wrong.

Nobody listen to Dich's opinions about this movie they are objectively wrong and shit and he should be ashamed of himself for having them.
the Katsuhiro Otomo adaptation of the Osamu Tezuka manga?
Because, I mean, that was absolutely gorgeous, yeah, but it's also incredibly slow to the point of actually being kind of boring. Not so boring that it becomes a bad movie, but it's still a flaw of that movie.
Personally I would say that Redline is better, and prettier. That can probably be chalked up to my personal tastes, though, because Redline is kind of the perfect movie for me.
I hope you'll understand if I'm hesitant to trust the opinions of someone who'd describe anything as being "sooo dumb," especially in regards to a movie like this.

I KNEW the two love interests were going to end up with each other and finish at the same time, thats a given. its a racing movie. but all those other characters they put all the time into showing you got no endings, you never find out what happens to them.

4. This is just wrong.
two people now have failed to deliver a copy of it to me
also the studio that did this is also working on Satoshi Kon's last movie but had to put it on hold because of financial reasons : (
damn that unreliable centipede damascus
metropolis is better
now I am just not gonna see it out of spite because all I associate with the movie is lies
It also had some pretty rude titties
I completely forgot about this while sending out secret Satan stuff!
Should have just sent me a message man. I'll get it sent out monday
also for all I knew you coulda sent it yesterday and then I would be the jerk
and if there is one thing I hate it is being the jerk unintentionally
all my jerking needs to be intentional, damnit
it totally has robots
it is set on roboworld!
no one will be the jerk in this scenario come monday
except for centipede damascus, he will be a chump jerk-o for life
it is good he has a title to go with it now
you know, for business cards
dude are you kidding?
this is right up his alley
explosions and tits and fast cars
what the fuck is it missing
it is the raddest thing that has ever been made

Wait, Metropolis as in
the Katsuhiro Otomo adaptation of the Osamu Tezuka manga?

Whaaooooo fire fire fire fire
Metropolis was great. The few minutes I have seen of Redline look silly.
But everyone says it's good.
But this everyone is the same everyone that likes Farscape more than Firefly so.
eh, it didn't bother me
