I watched Redline.
It took me about
five viewings to get through
the 2009 anime.
Not that it was particularly bad,
nor was it particularly great,
but I'd always try to watch
in the wee hours of the morning
or in the middle of a busy day.
Redline tells the tale of a race
to end all races.
A track on another planet
without any rules,
where death is within reach
and the gold is nearly
impossible to grasp.
The film follows
the underdog JP
as he prepares
for the big race.
Without giving any spoilers,
the movie didn't do much for me.
It was a bit straight forward,
like Speed Racer without any depth,
like if Hydro Thunder
was turned into an anime.
A blast visually, sure,
hence the screenshots throughout,
but the story never grabbed
my full attention.
I was a mile away,
drooling at the animation,
but feeling no attachment
to any of the characters.
This beaut might be better
left on mute.
