"spectacular failures have far more value than mediocre successes"
A quote to live by

Gave you your 400th like fam. May this meme never die
@@kurros1270 agreed this is what happens when people care about their art without any corporate greed getting in the way
Still looks like shit
the fact they had a super weapon called 'funky boy', and everyone talking about it kept a straight face was just great
probably a translation error
@@s_for_short2400 No it's not, 1H20m48sec in the movie in Japanese you can hear him say "Funky Boy" in the middle of his speech. The movie is full of humor and anglicism like this.

@@J03_M4m4 Can't help but wonder if it's a play on Fat Boy, one of the nukes dropped on Japan that defined their media and collective conscience for decades to come.
Hahah, nice point of view! I thought it was totally absurs, but never thought of interpreting it in such a way :)
6:50 Quick correction. Machine Head was victorious at the last 4 Redlines, not 20 Redlines. Maybe you meant 20 years because Redline happens once every 5 years.
Speaking of Machinehead Tetsujin his names a reference to the band Machine Head as well as Tetsujin 28

Watched Redline in cinema. You might guess my reaction.
nice, when was it you saw that? might i ask if it's not too much trouble. :)
I am jelous as fuck
In 2010 I think.
That is my dream
"Welcome to the dynamics animation fields, motherfuckers!" was the reaction? with that avatar I don't know where else it could go.
It's really sad that redline flopped
Tommy Wiseau oh hi

U did not?

Tommy Wiseau chicken
1. Redline only happens every 5 years
2. I calculated an approximate speed for the racers on yellow line, it came out to around 600km/hr
Holy Fuck that's fast
Well, that isn't exactly podracing... but it still looks a lot cooler! :D

Redline was the Speed Racer movie I always wanted.
*wackier race
@Akane Tendo It's wacky races (even down to the unique car designs and weapons) but in anime form, and not even turned up to 11 but turned up to 100. xD

Redline deserved better
@@mr.aizawa5257 I see he has deleted his comment .... fck that guy who ever he was
I agree
I think art appreciation is gone. I just can’t imagine why Redline didn’t do well at the cinemas. I think people can’t recognize great art anymore because of artistic and graphical pollution. The majority thinks bad is good and less is more.
@@hizzaddinno394 I didn't even know it existed until yesterday...
And I was heavily into anime back in 09
Redline deserved so much more

Chills every time 15+ watches later
the best shot in the entire movie
How can you watch it 15 times. The movie has absolutely no story, what it has is brilliant animation. Thats it. Thats why it failed at box office. Its story is even worse than fast and furious. Horrible story with great animation. I gave it a 4/10. If the animation would have been avg , I would give it 1/10
@@sfnd6645 idunno... it's cool lol
Such an amazing sequence.
@@sfnd6645 agree. Its like a shonen anime with amazing animation and an interesting setting
This movie is like how i imagine my Hot Wheels toy racing to be
@@jamessaunders2559 damn thats kinda beautiful actually
@@alphalax7747 what did he say?
@@anormalperson9974 He said he though that Hot Wheels would be this ambitious.
The problem is that in Japan, there are no underdogs.
Something is successful because it is already popular. Few people are open new completely new stuff that doesn't already come highly recommended by somebody else, and it feels like people are rarely able to evaluate something independently of external voices, purely based on its' own merits.
I wonder if that is a huge reason why most American adaptations of anime don't work. Because Americans are so attracted to the underdog that they change protagonists traits to match that trope.
also that kind of story and artstyle doesnt really appeal at all to most people. But to me its a total gem.
i notice that. even the main character is the popular kid.
@@Darkest_matter Japanese media is absolutely full of underdogs. It's like you people have never seen a shonen.
@@Darkest_matter it really depends on the genera, a lot of anime the mc isn't popular at all.
"Spectacular failures have far move value than mediocre successes." The genus of this line is undeniable, I think this is why bad movies like The Room have been developing a fanbase over the years. Because as awful as that movie was, it really had heart.
It even spawned a prequel/making off/ parody nowadays with the movie "the disaster artist"...which apparently has original Tommy Wiseaus full acknowledgement XD
A weird, alien heart
how does it have more value? at the end of the day there's way more garbage anime/shows/movies than they are good one because it doesn't matter, because its not about whats "good or not" its about whats making the money. People just watch entertainment because that is a thing to do in their spare time, even if they know its bad, or passable. They watch whats popular, what they heard about. The reason something like Redline gets created is because some people have a passion to create things that they like.
Well, I think the value of that movie's "heart" differs from what was being spoken about in this video. More people just being fascinated by what must have been going true Wiseau's head when he was making it. Same as people being fascinated by train wrecks.
@@Lamentear they have more value in that they at least tried; and if everyone did the same then the anime industry would be way better.
Redline, the japanese mad max equivalent, unfortunately doomed to fail in a nation where wide open throttle means letting loose all four cylinders of fury to slam directly into the vehicle 3 centimeters in front of you in the 13 day long traffic jam.
"Redline, the japanese mad max equivalent"
*cough* Fist of the North Star *cough*
Shhhh don't ruin the joke. But no seriously FotNS is literally japanese mad max just with some added ATATATATATATA WUTAH!
i have never watched FotNS but from what i have seen meaning small clips of the "you'r already dead meme"i have never seen the MC use a sawnoff double barrel shotgun. But i am pretty sure the only thing similar between the two is the nuclear Armageddon theme.
Naw man, FotNS was directly inspired by mad max, you gotta remember back in the 80's pre/post-apocalyptic stuff wasn't big yet, and mad max basically kicked it off. If you look up outfit comparisons and the like you'll see the similarities instantly.
holy shit underrated comment
Redline had one of the most climactic endings I have ever seen in a movie
Cowboy bebop knocks at heaven doors (the english dub version)
@@rickgolder6818 Wait what do you mean they died?
@@rickgolder6818 I don't think they died
Rick Golder What, idk what you’re on about but they didn’t die clearly. You’re over analyzing way to much lol just enjoy the race.
@@rickgolder6818 they arent human, theyre not from Earth, some backstory given by the directors said that they lived on a more aquatic planet than earth where the "humans" there live to be more than a 100 years old lowballing it, they also have toigh skin, like you saw in yellowline when JP crashed, a crash like that shoulve done way moe that what iit did. so theyre alive, YAYY!
Redline was actually the very first anime movie that I saw, my friend put it on and paused after the intro and said "Shall I keep it going?" and I just said "Hell yeah!". The unique animation style with it's feeling of speed made me want to discover more anime. So yeah, now 10 years later I have watched so much anime of all sorts. There was a whole new world for me to discover after watching Redline.
I was fortunate enough to casually walk into a screening of this just after it's release at a convention and I don't think I've ever been so mind blown by anything before. I think that this is the only movie I can always watch no matter what mood I am in.
Thank you for highlighting this master piece of animation, and let's hope that more and more people will find and enjoy it over time.
(Also when Redline Day started playing at the end I almost started crying)
Are you me?
"I was fortunate enough to casually walk into a screening of this just after it's release at a convention" I am so bloody envious.
I was also lucky enough to go see the first UK screening of this film a few hours ago, and when I too heard redline day come on I felt this warm glow which was almost bittersweet but amazing. When that keyboard plays and JP and Sonoshee are floating together, I had an amazing feeling, tearing up now lol.
@@killobot2388 Hold on, where was it shown!?
IratePirate picturehouse theatre in London. Did you go to that as well?!
Watching this reminds me of the person who made me go and buy this movie. That was Demolition D+. His video made me go and buy this movie and it was the best thing I did. Just wanted to say thanks for making a video on Redline it needs more people talking about it.
Hoping it will become a cult classic.
We never were worthy of Demolition D+
Demo D is the one true Messiah of anime reviewers/critics; I miss him 😞
I still check Demo's yt from time to time...one day I believe he will return to us...one day.
He was streaming games a lot last time I checked a few months back
Redline is literally perfectly put together eye candy. It knows what it is and is not afraid to show people. I watched it today without expecting anything and I was smiling throughout the entire movie. The sheer absurdity of the show just works and it's amazing!
Redline is a masterpiece
I watch 5 minutes of this video, pause it and look for it in amazon, I added to the cart but didn't buy it, because I was waiting for another thing to be available so both would arrive at the same time... today i visited my local game store and there it was, a Blu ray copy of this movie, bought it and watched it today... It's an amazing movie and a gem.
Have you tried Ebay? They usually have great deals. Trust me, I knoe😁

I read "moaning person" instead of "morning person"
Redline was truly a treat back in 2009. It really felt like a throwback to a time when you had no idea what you were getting into when you started watching an anime movie. Bombastic, high-energy, whatthefuckery, and every single frame of animation a glory to behold.
I just watched this movie last night for the first time, and holy shit. why have I never heard of it before? This was an amazing movie
There's just something about "Redline Day" that always pulls at my heartstrings and makes me feel a great sense of happiness and wonder. Truly an incredible film and a fantastic song just as well.
Wow, I really regretted watching this movie on a crappy illegal streaming site right after watching this video. I want to buy the Blu Ray now!
Which says a lot since i haven't wanted to actually buy any type of anime movie or show in about 5 years. Thanks for the recommendation Eyepatch!
I feel you man. When I get the money, I'll make sure to get all the top quality anime like Redline, Space Dandy, One Punch Man, MHA and stuff on disc, so my kids can watch it one day.
So this is Mad Max: Fury Road on steroids before Mad Max: Fury Road was even a thing?! Thank goodness it's on Amazon Prime right now!
WTF Those buckets on Mad Max would be lucky to hit 150mph without falling apart.
@@slickstretch6391 if I remember right the fastest any of them got up to without breaking was 60mph, it's a crazy movie not a fast one
imagine death race but on a galactic scale
It’s also on CZcams, just fyi… ^^
It’s also on CZcams for free with no ads
Redline is so good and well drawn that when the action kicks in, I grit my teeth as though I'm in the show with the characters. Its amazing.
That's why I respect Madhouse ❤️
No matter what are the odds
They're always determined on making something different
Just look at their library
It has to be the most diverse library among all anime studios
And unfortunately that is why I think it won't be long before the studio goes broke due to the epidemic of shit taste in Japan 😔
Canipa Effect has a good video about their downfall actually. They haven't been the same since 2010 after Kon's death.
NorthTwo yup
It's really heartbreaking
I'd rather have 1 masterpiece than 1000 shits.
tfw Madhause will never make Season 3 of Kaiji because all of the studio talent went to Mappa and the composer is in jail on weed charges
Tiduidu I hate it.
Redline looks like Speedracer, Jojo's bizarre adventure and wacky races got chucked in a blender.
Then hit frappe and see what happens
The turn it up to 11 and toss in a rocket booster
Another description would be F-ZERO meets Gurren Lagann on SO MUCH COCAINE!
@@tanall5959 yess
Not to mention Mad Max as well, but I'm glad I wasn't the only one who saw JJBA in there
I nearly shed a tear at the end there, when the song from the Redline credits played.
Like, Jesus, right in the feels.
Redline is a hidden GEM
It looks like Speed Racer meets Hotwheels meets Initial D. I'm in.
meets FLCL meets Gurren Lagann :D
Meets Dragon Ball Z
Wacky Racers but on crack.
I see quite a bit of JoJo in there as well.
+FZero
+Pod Racing
MA-SHEEEEN HEEEEEEAAAAAD!!!
Spoiler
I really loved how at the end of the Redline race all the racers just sat there, being happy that they were part of such a race. I don't know too much about the racing community but from what I picked up, I can tell that friendliness - especially at the end of a race - is a huge part of that culture. Having the redline racers embrace this mentality after such a savage race really hit that "those are real racers"-feel in a perfect way.
One of the greatest racers who ever lived, Ayrton Senna (1960-1994), would definitely agree with that sentiment. He was a ruthless racer, if he wanted the key position in a harsh part of the track, he would take it & either other racers would have to be willing to crash into him, or get out of the way. Yet he also risked his life at times to save other racers. Real-Life people like Senna are the genesis of characters like J.P.
This would indeed be heartfelt however you forgot to account the fact that other racers were basically trying to kill other racers.
Redline is one of only like 3 movies, not just anime movies, that I own a physical copy of. Truly a masterpiece, truly one of the greatest tragedies that it didn't do well.
I love all your videos, but the editing in this one was on point!!
I had goosebumps in the starting of the video where you said 'For every handshakers, there is.. a Redline.'
Your content is just getting better and better.
For real his lime delivery just keeps getting more chilling
Anand Varma agreed
OW YEAH MEN ITS GOOD COMMENTS THENK YOU , END GOOD LUCK ...
Yeah, I'v seen that one. It's definetly a masterpiece. Absolutely gorgeous. Quite often i am simply infuriated at the blindness of the japanise audience who fail such gems and hype some generic run-of-the-mill 50th teenage idols anime.
Every re-watch I'm still floored by the animation and the abrupt ending. It was like the whole studio decided 7 years was enough, this is releasing RIGHT FUCKING NOW!
Just saw this review, I'm not a big anime fan at all. My knowledge of anime only really exists because of my love of the cyberpunk genre, so I'm usually only a huge fan of stuff like GitS, Akira, Psychopass, etc.
I ended up seeing Redline about a year ago though, and it's easily become one of my favourite, not just anime, but movies of all time. Love the animation, the action, the soundtrack, pretty much everything you mentioned.
I consider myself an artist, and i find it so sad that people don't take animation as seriously as live action. The amount of effort put into every single shot in this movie is absolutely amazing.
Redline's Plot in 15 words or less:
"Intergalactic Hipsters Holding a Stock Car Race on a Planet of Cyborg Nazis."
You really shouldn't need any more reason to watch this film than that tagline.
Somethign that hit me, and that it took dang nearly 5 years of rewatching from the day it released, is that the reason why the individual frames look so good is because unlike other animations, where the background is usually subtly changed from how characters are drawn to make the characters stand out (either by being in a different style like the painterly Disney movies to being desaturated and less detailed like modern TV backgrounds), Redline instead achieves it by using *motion*.
Specifically, they don't use style or colors to tell you what your eyes should be focused on, but movement. The main focal point would be moving in unique, exaggerated and eye-catching ways. Things that do move but aren't meant to draw your attention moves far less and in more repeating patterns, while the least significant don't move at all.
This is why almost everything in this movie seems alive; because it is.
the female lead is probably the most beautiful character design I can remember right now
A video making justice to the greatness of the movie.
A huge thing to note. at least for me, is it's re-watchability. It's just such a fun over the top movie that I can watch again and again and it never gets boring.
for the past decade there has never been a film I found that has the same power as this movie. Like jesus....this animation and style is godly.
Redline to this day is one of my favorite movies.
Already forgot my older favorite movies after watching this
Redline...
The Gurren lagann of racing anime
If Space Dandy had sex with an even more exaggerated version of F-ZERO X.
@@djhero0071 this is would happens if Speed Racer and The Running Man (Yoshiaki Kawajiri) made a child together
Space Dandy of Racing Anime
I don't like gurren lagann but I loved redline
This is why I feel that the live-action Speed Racer released in 2008, is the greatest anime adaptation of all time. The movie goes full sensory overload; you *feel* the speed and power of the cars that they're driving and visually the movie goes completely nuts. The cinematography is ridiculously dynamic and fluid and the visuals are deeply colorful and rich.
The complaint is that the film uses too much CGI and that it's kinda campy; I have no idea how else this film should've/would've been filmed. You could say practical effects a la Mad Max: Fury Road, but they are too completely different types of films and Speed Racer really benefits from the push and innovation of using virtual cinematography and CG effects.
This movie, and Redline, are incredibly important as they show that something that is unconventional and uses a wildly distinctive and unique artistic sensibility, should be celebrated and revered. Now, this rant might seem a little bit left-field, as Speed Racer was critically panned whereas Redline was well-received. But I believe these films are one and the same.
I know you primarily deal with anime and animation Super EyePatch Wolf but this opens up the broader conversation to use of CG in film and how not everything has to be geared towards realism and pragmatism. Sometimes a little bit of unorthodox can make something quite memorable
Check out Patrick H Williams video essay on Film Realism and DigiBro's essay on Speed Racer :) Cheers!
Xplozhun85 Speed Racer got a lot of hate, I don't know why. I honestly enjoy it, it was a visual Orgasm and very well done. It delivered a lot, gave you several races, changed locations, gave you the shows antics and kept the humor pace. Wtf do ppl want? Originally? When it's supposed to be based on the actual anime? Ridiculous.
I actually went and saw that movie for my birthday, enjoyed the movie. . . Was just kind of dissapointed because I got nothing but speed racer toys from all my friends haha, well that and my first real bike. But of course I wasnt big enough to ride it lol.
I saw it on IMAX some people where disappointed I was in total shock when my friends told me the same thing I felt like I was the only one enjoying the roller coaster ride and trust me when I say IMAX is the only way to go for this movie.
Rain is such a talent.
realizing how little views this has conpared to some of eyepatch wolfs other videos is a shame on itself. This was the video that got me to watch redline, now my fav movie, and got me into the channel. More people should be seeing this great work and the movie it is talking about
I had a glimpse of that movie 14 YEARS ago... I never could figure out what the movie was because I was still a child back then and couldn't put it together by just watching those few scenes.
I was at the point where I thought I just imagined that this movie exists.
But today... Today was the day i finally got it. The movie that i thought i had lost forever . A movie that i fell deeply in love with, just from a few scenes (now i know it were the minutes right after the mine field where JP and Sonoshee got together in the car).
This is the first time I'm sobbing and it's 100% out of joy and relief that my search is finally over and that this movie is real.
And it's bringing me so much joy that it is really that great of a movie as i remembered from those few scenes.
I think i found peace today ❤
One of the best channels I encountered. I don't even care 90% of the time about the topic SuperEyepatchWolf is talking, it is just so interesting to listen to and watch the well crafted editing job.
Eyepatch is the only person I give money to when it comes to created content. I don't even watch much anime anymore but him covering Bebop (Favorite anime of all time) and him really giving a different perspective to OPM (I didn't like it at first but his "It has heart" reasoning convinced me to rewatch it and enjoy it.) Made me subscribe and wait for his next video anxiously. He then does a video on motherfucking Redline, an anime I have spent YEARS convincing or trying to at least to watch, and I don't doubt my support to SEW.
Immediately bought the Blu-ray on Amazon as soon as I finished the video. You're doing God's work, Patchy.
Just watched Redline, it's a treat.
Takeshi Koike, if you ever read this, you have one more fan. Keep giving us works of art like "Redline", and you will be forever remembered as a king of anime. Long live the king!
Oh man. I will support Redline by buying blu-ray. Is this the same director as Animatrix's World Record?
indeed
I wanna buy the Blu-ray too
If you liked Redline I'd highly recommend you seek out Disney's Motorcity; though you probably have if you're a fan of animation. Watching Redline was a requirement for the Motorcity team as I've heard, and it really shows through their animation.
@depressed cockroach that cartoon was dope too.
ahhh the closing song, redline day makes me emotional everytime i swear
I am currently studing to be a 3D animator and movies like Redline are my primary insperation for what I want to make. It bummed me out that this movie wasn't successful on release. I also realized in 3D we got a bit of a visual revolution happen when Spider-verse came out, and I realize it propably wouldn't have happened if it wasn't a Spider-Man movie. I guess my point here is that my Berserk/Evangelion inspired mecha fantasy is gonna lose to pre existing IPs in the pitch meeting.
.

But seriously please more original ideas. Also my Berserk/Evangelion inspired mecha fantasy is real and working on it has helped me let out some deep emotional pain and anger, and I will get it made.
I always loved Redline. Anime like that always needs more support these days ;)
Also Megalo Box (a new series recently) is damn good just for the record :D
"spectacular failiures have more value than mediocre successes"
Nick Cage's The Wicker Man is the embodiment of this.
Dude this movie is amazing I had no idea it was received so poorly.
Where can I get myself a copy of this movie? This movie deserves so much more attention.
czcams.com/video/uGJ2kt6yetE/video.html&ab_channel=TorrentKing
Just saw this at my local Walmart for $7.50 on Blu-ray, so you bet I’m getting a copy soon!
I feel like less people would know about this feel without Demo's video on the film.
Alejandro Benett I miss demo
I cant believe umaru-chan fucking murdered Demo with a spiked bat
And she did it while playing that goddamn kazoo. Now who will be there to take care of all his dogs?
he's still around. he's always streaming something.
Really??? I knew about this film years before Demos video, not from some obscure source either, Gigguk recommend it on his first stream he ever did back in 2012.
I am so curious about Eyepatch Wolf's opinion of Akira..
Leberator Too many People have covered Akira I think Wolf doesnt want to make a video reiterating what everyone else already said
Probably similiar to the opinions of everyone else.
666melodeath666 Aww shucks, well I think Wolf makes everything of his opinions intriguing so I'd watch the shit out of an Akira vid :p
Well one way he could get away with it if he covers the Manga since most people only talk about the movie and the Manga has alot of chapter that the movie cut out
Hey, I agree. Truth be told I went through like 5 years of hating on the anime cause of how much of the manga's story was cut out. But being that the series creator was in charge of both projects, I kinda get why he made it as he did, and why he left so much out.
Thank you for this, redline deserves to be appreciated more. been my favorite movie for years. im just waiting for someone to sample the roboworld president saying "fire the cannons" for an edm song, itd be a perfect pre-drop.
This movie is incredible and I'm so thankful you covered it!
Alternately: "Why Space Dandy is an amazing show, and why that matters today."
Great video though, Redline is an awesome and fun movie.
End Of Century it reminds me of Space Dandy. It even had an intergalactic race episode. Possibly a reference?
Musomania27 Definitely a refrence.
Space dandy is a beautiful mess. I think it did not get the attention it deserved. Maybe because at the same time Watanabe's other series Terror in Resonance was airing. Which at first looked like it's gonna be provocative, but ended in utter disapointment. And yea, the reverence is real.
End Of Century
Space Dandy is my all time favorite anime. It inspired me to better myself and start drawing so that I can hope to create something as hilarious, beautiful, and emotional as it someday. I really hope SEW gets around to reviewing it.
I completely disagree. Space Dandy feels like a horrible amalgamation of multiple successful shows that had no clear direction or ideas of its own, and only borrows from successful predecessors to tell it's haphazard and convoluted stories. The characters are likable enough, the animation is gorgeous, and the voice acting is wonderful, but if you watch enough anime that came before, it is almost straight plagiarism.
YES! Everybody needs to see Redline! My ears were literally glowing after the first time that I saw it.
I just discovered this movie a few days ago and it's an underrated masterpiece. I've started listening to the music in the morning and man does it get me up and going!
2009?!?
Hell. I just watched it like last week for the first time and thought it came out in 2018... and even then I thought it looked fantastic.

Exactly 3 minute mark. I'm off to watching Redline and then I'll come back :Ü™
I'm back and sweatdrenched. That was an absolutely awesome ride :D :Ü™

YES. I love Redline. I'll never forget the sheer awe I was in the first time I watched that opening scene with the soundtrack and the racing and wow. Liked. Shared. Will purchase a bluray copy. Super Eyepatch Wolf always drops my favorite kind of videos
Great video.
My local theater is showing this next month. I will be watching it as it was meant to be seen, on the big screen.
If you're not hypnotized by the unique art style, you'll be interested in the oddly-emotional content of the film. There's a trippy feel caused by the subtle dialogue (as opposed to the exposition-heavy, "dumb" way anime is typically written in), the stellar music, and the pulsating colors.
Add the story and you get an effect similar to how abstract art should be on paper: you're not entirely sure what you're looking at or hearing, but you definitely get the emotions.
goddamn dude. i have no intention of watching half of what you tell me to. but I would be damned if I would miss a video of your on point analysis, delivered by a measured, deliberate pace in your writing, as well as your voice. you are top class, broski.
Saw the first few clips of Redline you showed in the vid, paused the video and then watched the movie on iTunes. Hands down the best movie I've watch in years. Thank you so much for showing me this, much love
I just wanted to come back to this video because it was because of this upload a couple years ago, I ended up watching Redline and fell in love with it. It’s just so amazing and every time I watch it, I am just blown away.
Thank you 🙏🖤
Thank you for making this video!!! Without it, I would never have found Redline
Lynchman and Johny Boya anime when?
This movie always gives me that nostalgic feeling of watching the great anime movies from the 80’s and 90’s, like Akira, Ninja Scroll, or Wings of Honneamise. You can just feel the dedication to the craft the animators had.
all 3 r dope esp inja scroll, thanks for the info man
Can't remember the exact details, but I'm pretty sure I randomly encountered a CZcams video about Redline several years ago and thought the thumbnail looked cool, so I checked it out. The video convinced me to watch it and that was one of the greatest random happenings of my life.
i still watch this movie every single year, one of my favorit, especially with a bad ass sound system. Also sad it did not do so well at the box office as it was just so damn good.
this is the movie that made me want to become an animator
What!!!! I had no idea redline had a prequel
I don't think it's really a prequel, just an earlier movie with characters who then got reused.
I bought this movie on a whim off of Amazon. Just finished watching it today and damn...I loved every second of it. Seeing just how much care and passion was put into it makes my sight holes leak.
Thank you for introducing this to me!!!
I find a lot of the time that the general Japanese audience has vastly different, usually worse, taste than western audiences. I absolutely LOVE Redline and everyone I show it to falls in love with it. But for the most part there is a tremendous saturation of the kawaii uguu anime that seems to be making money because there seems to be such a demand for them.
A real shame too.
Aecusim Not gonna necessarily say that Japanese audiences THEMSELVES have poor taste (a lot of that may be due to market statistics convincing producers that those kinds of shows are what people want), but...yeah. That famous (though somewhat misquoted) meme of Miyazaki going "anime was a mistake"? It's way more true in Japan than in the west because for the most part only shows with SOME level of artistic merit even leave the country. For every terrible show that makes it to American shores, there's a dozen nigh-identical trainswrecks that never get licensed.
The thing about this film is, if it appeared during the Shinichiro Watanabe era(late 90s early 2000s), it would have gotten a lot more steam and hardcore viewers. Red Line to Japan feels far too similar to other mech race intergalactic political series of the past, and these haven't really been that big since say, Macross or it's sequel. Japan isn't ready to be challenged psychologically again just yet, which is why the stories with the highschool characters in it will always be more well received than any other genre, and that might not change anytime soon, for better or worse.
Yeah there is a reason there is a preference for softer stories involving younger people.
I mean it's possible that anime now is just made for a broader audience and more groups will be attracted to that sort of thing, but a lot of the anime is still catered towards adult/young men as it always has been , so I don't think it can have that used as an excuse, tbh.
Gxyz222 Well, the original Macross came out in the early 80's when the real robot genre was in its infancy and worked alongside a political themes, but those kind of anime were still popular afterward. I can strongly say that while not all of the Mobile Suit franchise is this way, its later installments like Zeta Gundam and its OVA material such as The 8th MS Team are still held as classics. I think what the issue comes down to is that like other themes in anime political aspects became normal for these kind of anime, so without some new spin on these kinds of shows I doubt they're going to come back in full force (excluding shows like later Gundam UC installments such as Unicorn.) I'll admit that a lot of anime don't stand out overall and some are very copy and paste, but what's helping a lot of these series is backing from otaku along with them already being adaptations of manga and light novels.
"Japan isn't ready to be challenged psychologically again just yet"
What are you even talking about? Why are you bringing this up? Redline is a fantastic movie but it isn't close to being profound. It's about a wacky race with wacky cars (some of which should not count as cars) going real fast. It's a fun and stylish romp, not something like Lain.
Could you go more into depth as what Thatanimesnob meant?
@Gxyz22 :This is some Real insightfulness here.. ANd since I've been into ANime here for over 20yrs now(when it was still considered 'cartoons') I Really have to agree. There really Was a 'changing of tides' when ANime went Global around Y2k. Cheers
your voice is so damn calm sometimes and so serious at another.
Its so perfect
Thanks for the recommendation!
