Since the race seems to happen anywhere that is decided on, Roboworld is not pleased with the idea of tons of media coverage showing off what is a secretive military zone. Problems for JP escalate further, as the Redline race is set to take place on a planet known as Roboworld. Having recently gotten out of prison for fixing races and then participating in another race (which ended in a spectacular crash), JP soon finds that his racing skills still managed to garner him a spot in the next Redline race. He has a history of working with his best friend and mechanic, Frisbee, to participate in these fixed races, so the two can contribute and get paid off by the mob. JP is a bad boy-type a reckless driver, fitted with piercings, leather jacket, and a massive duck haircut. The hero of this story is a man named JP (voiced by Takuya Kimura). There are no real rules to the race, which means anything goes when it comes to foul play. The most elite drivers must earn spots to compete in what becomes a winner-takes-all race to the finish. Every five years, a race known as Redline takes place, which is the toughest and most destructive underground car race in the universe. While technology has advanced far enough for everyone to ride on various types of airborne vehicles, there are still those who love to drive and race with cars, modified and destructive as they are. I had a ton of fun watching this film, especially in my drive to appreciate anime more.įrisbee: They don’t call him “Sweet JP” for nothin’. The film is a sci-fi auto racing-themed work of art, featuring incredible animation, a knowingly over-the-top style & story, memorable & hilarious characters, and some slick animated racing action. I ended up making a fantastic choice, as Redline was a hugely entertaining film. To continue to mix up the types of movies I have seen so far, I chose Redline, the first anime film to be featured as a Spotlight Screening for the NBFF. The films featured as spotlight screenings were all products of Asian filmmakers. It was a Monday night Asian showcase on May 2, 2011, for the Newport Beach Film Festival.
