    Is this blu ray only?

    Because I'll buy it. But my blu ray player is being commandeered by my mother. So I'd like to watch it thus century.

    This movie is insultingly stupid but pretty.

  • DangerousDangerous Registered User regular
    The plot is pretty dumb, and incredibly predictable. I think it starts to come apart around the three quarter mark. But damn if the movie isn't a blast to watch regardless.

    Oh, forgot to mention one of my favorite parts of the movie. End spoilers.
    After all that effort and nitro and things exploding... the thing that finally gives them that extra edge, that extra inch necessary to win... is JP's gigantic stupid haircut.

    Also I'm seeing it on Amazon as a DVD so I'm not sure about the whole "only Blu-ray" deal.

    Edit: But then it also says 2007 next to the title so...I'm not that sure...

    Yay a Redline thread. Had such a blast watching this. The coolest thing though?

    "Its development took seven years and used 100,000 hand-made drawings"

  • JayKaosJayKaos Registered User regular
    Yeah it's out on DVD too, people are just talking about Blu-Ray since it's a particularly gorgeous movie that you'd want to see it in HD. The amazon link saying 2007 is a mistake, but it's definitely the right movie.

    before I try and dig on this:

    how fist of the north star is this movie

    I know it cannot be as good as fist of the north star, nothing can

    but how close to being as good is it

    this is my japanimation barometer

    Let us assume that Fist of the North Star is approximately at .75 on the Absurdity Index (AI) and a perfect 1 on the Manliness Index (MI - Note that nothing is more manly than Fist of the North Star, but a couple things like Berserk and Vinland Saga come close enough to be considered equal). Neither of these indexes go negative, but a few anime actually reach a perfect 0 MI (AI cannot become zero in any work of fiction, and non-fiction is generally agreed to never reach zero as well). Redline is about a .75 AI as well, but scores oh so slightly lower - only a .9 on the manliness index. But it's definitely up there, especially because it also exceeds on the third Old-school Index.

    Totally just all pulled that out of my ass but you get the idea.

    tlb did you end up liking gurren lagann

    you will probably like this

  • The Lovely BastardThe Lovely Bastard Registered User regular

    it did not blow me away

    Gurren Lagann was fun but it did get old after the mid way point, barring a few scenes (I think the second summary movie hits the same notes of the second half with infinitely better pacing and a few major changes that actually fit better with the tone of the series, IMO).

    That's what Redline's plot does so well - it blows you away, gives a little fun breather act to chew on while also establishing the setting (but not with so much detail as to make you bored), and then blows you away again. Credits roll. A good comparison someone made was to the original Star Wars. It has that same mystery and originality to it, with no extensive and obsessive set of manuals.

    huh
    same thing happened with me and firefly

  • George Fornby GrillGeorge Fornby Grill ...Like Clockwork Registered User regular
    Gurren Lagann def. hits a low point, but the end is so fucking over the top it is worth it to push through.

    Also I just ordered this on bluray.

    TLB the female racers wear long pink fingernails and use buttons with Smileys drawn onto them.

    Dominant colors are light blue and pink/red.

    Also no gore or cool shootouts, the action scenes are more like Transformers.

    There are only a few particularly gory moments but they are so good

  • The Lovely BastardThe Lovely Bastard Registered User regular
    only a few?

    that is not very fist of the northstar at all

    7656367.jpg
  • TallahasseerielTallahasseeriel Registered User regular
    It might rank as low as only .3 fist of the north star on a 0-1 scale!

  • mensch-o-maticmensch-o-matic Registered User regular
    but a 7 on a 0-10 scale

  • TallahasseerielTallahasseeriel Registered User regular
    Actually I haven't seen it yet.

    I just like making up arbitrary scales.
