Synopsis
Redline is the biggest, most popular, illegal and most dangerous race in all of the galaxy. “Sweet” JP has always wanted to be the winner of this event, but after being caught up with the wrong crowd for years, an accident at the qualifying Yellowline event lands him in hospital. However, when the secret location of the Redline event is revealed to be the incredibly hostile Roboworld, two of the qualifying racers pull out allowing JP to enter the race as a reserve. Together with partner Frisbee, JP tries to rebuild both his vehicle and his life with a newly impassioned soul sparked by the determination of his beautiful rival Sonoshi. With gangsters and the forces of Roboworld out to kill him, JP is going to win Redline or die trying. – Richard Gray, The Reel Bits.

another masterpiece from takeshi koike. EXTREMELY LEGIT BEYOND FLUID VISUALS with some pretty good dramas! and it was an INTENSE SHIT. to me it looks like a dirtier and crazier version of speed racers. i was gonna give this movie a 5 but goddamn im gonna give it a 4 only because of the ending and the character development

This film is beautiful. I mean it. It's a grand achievement in animation and in filmmaking, period. In the distant future where anti-gravity is the norm some fools still have a passion for wheels, and today, in our modern world of computer animation, some crazy motherfuckers still love the artform enough to spend seven long years drawing Speed Racer from hell. Glorious.
