Man I hope you guys react to Invincible. Just finished the last episode. It was so good.

[@laboon344]

Django will be good one 👍🏻

[@achilleasgeorgiou7853]

you should consider watching invincible, its an amazing series

[@Wolf6119]

This movie is 150% worth it for the soundtrack alone. MACHINE *HEAAAAAAAAAAAD*

I think we all know it is super boins you listen to too. Ha ha

[@KingdomCome257]

Those Roboworld goons just stopping and saying "F*ck this, they're too fast" Is so funny and real to me XD

[@robinh7745]

Actually, when hospitals lack adrenaline to reanimate patients, they make them watch Red Line to revive them. This movie is a PURE shoot of adrenaline.

[@ColKadlik]

Rejoice gentlemen of the refined taste, our voices were heard.

[@PsychoDiesel48]

FINALLY!

[@MinimumOverdrive1]

Eric is completely right. The director, Takeshi Koike, did also make part of the Animatrix. World Record for all those curious

[@apassionatenerd.3564]

I read "Animatrix" as "Animaniacs" and was VERY confused.

[@ambrr8894]

Took 7 years to make the movie and every second of it was worth it

[@astrea4020]

For those that always missed it, Sonoshee is heavily hinted to be MachineHead’s daughter. He was the one she was waiting for in the restaurant and she mentions her father being a famous racer. They’re also the only two racers prominently featured to have a steam light, Sonoshee saying she received hers from her father. I thought it was a cool addition to the story.

[@hoon_sol]

Literally Sweet JP racing Sonoshee's dad for her hand. Sugoi and kawaii. Very based.

[@Taygon45]

Also the gangster fixing JPs races was the guy he idolized as a kid.

[@benh3518]

@@Taygon45 holy shit you're right, the two ladies and the ridiculously big car...it's too perfectly aligned

[@genome17]

They hint at Machine Head being Sonoshee's father. She was waiting for him at Oasis, she waves at him when he arrives. They show him reacting to when Sonoshee's car gets wrecked. He tells her to use the steamlight. Assuming she's near JP's age, Machine Head most likely gave it to her after he won his first redline 20 years ago.

[@theCatastrophe3030]

I'm so glad someone else figured this out! It's incredibly subtle storytelling especially for a movie like this. I love Redline so much

[@dairebulson7122]

And the person who she looked up to and wanted to get into racing in the first place to emulate

[@PsychoDiesel48]

Woah what? How did I never notice something like that!? Guess I was blinded by awesomeness!! XD

[@Neobahamutfr36]

Never though of that...

[@Tequila628]

Also, in the Yellow Race it was shown that he cares for her.

[@War_Maker]

The fact that it took 7 years and 100K+ drawings to make and almost bankrupted Madhouse is quite an achievement for a first time director. But Takeshi Koike is a great animator from the 90s/00s and he does an amazing job directing Redline, 16:50 is a really good example of his vision. The sound and editing is also really crisp. Even if the pace slows down a bit in the middle, whereas Madmax Fury Road for example you’re non stop in it, it’s still a really fun movie. The first 10 minutes is simply the best entrance to an anime movie I’ve seen. We even got a Kaiju battle!

[@laboon344]

It really shows why it took 7 years wonderfully animated movie

[@War_Maker]

@@laboon344 yep, made me rewatch Ninja Scroll right after. Koike has amazing talent.

[@boi7316]

So sad that he lost his job right after it flopped

[@alecLogan]

@@laboon344 Allegedly, a lot of what was ‘done’ was thrown out about halfway through to have it fully redone from scratch, which is more of the reason it took so long. However, what did wind up done, was done very well.

[@HollowAvarice]

This is why I pay for full length. My favorite reactors reacting to one of my favorite movies. And they loved it. Vindication for all of us who voted for it week after week.

[@PsychoDiesel48]

for full length it was kind of a bummer to see eric get distracted on his phone multiple times :/

I mean I'm happy because they showed more people one of the most underrated anime films in history but... Dub like c'mon guys, really??

[@jwag301]

like fuck me you don't get passion projects like this anymore, 7 years to make, 99% hand drawn, over 100,000 individually drawn frames. fucking unbelievable

[@tbcalex]

@@jwag301 Kinda late reply, but I'm guessing you're new here since they only react to dubbed anime

[@jamesturner6979]

Eric: “It was the hair!?” Me: “Always was...”

[@Feldini]

So glad you guys enjoyed this! By far one of my favorite anime movies.

[@SenseofNoneYT]

The way you guys were trying to find words to describe the word for like 15 minutes straight after watching is golden. It really is just "rule of cool" the movie.

[@e-manmorales2048]

Now imagine a 2 season long show of this with the directors of Cowboy Bebop and One Punch man. "He's a Dandy guy...in Space"

[@cameronvincent3122]

I do hope they eventually check out Space Dandy. Shares a lot of the same energy as Redline. It's also really funny. A D A N D Y G U Y I N T H E S P A C E

[@shroomaster4911]

THIS MAN IS SPEAKING THE TRUTH

[@reimagine8606]

i want them to watch gto and space dandy would be great

[@GashPlague]

YES! Please watch Space Dandy!

[@walangchahangyelingden8252]

It is kinda similar.

[@nerdpocalypse5004]

I'm so glad I suggested this for the poll

[@nutsandbolts1264]

Honestly, this movie is what it's like to play with toy cars as a kid

[@TruculentRuminavi]

Man you guys are the best.out of all reactors i watch, you guys actually react to stuff that isnt as popular with the kiddos and is not recommended in the youtube algorithm. Thank you.

[@primepm8861]

I bought this years ago at a Best Buy on a whim. It was whimsical and literally the best buy I ever made.

[@robertwsaul]

Do we understand that all anime characters with pompadour's are amazing yet? Or do we need a further lesson? Space Dandy is waiting in the wings for your education!

[@Ev1L0rd]

I love this goddamn movie. By far my favourite anime movie, the only one that I can say competes with it is Sword of the Stranger. I like that they commented on how it was somtimes hard to discern what was going on, because that was intentional. The director literally said he wanted to make an animated movie that is an assault on the senses, there needs to be as much information and intensity as possible. Nailed it.

[@tracerjames51]

This is one of the most INSANE movies I have EVER seen and almost definitely ever WILL see! This movie is just amazingly strange and over the top and I love it for it.

[@BK456]

Rick, I was voting for this so hard and was so depressed that it kept losing. I'm so glad that you picked it outside of a poll.

[@Tomcat_92]

Redline is probably my favourite anime movie of all time. The OST is incredible too, I play the Yellow Line theme every time I get in the car, it is sofa king cool

[@etherealworrier]

It is an absolute delight to see you guys reacting to this gem. I'm glad you loved it as much as I did.

[@SlaXerDG]

They need to watch Space Dandy now.

[@frikky99]

haha they'll get there eventually I'm sure...

[@laboon344]

Im laughing so hard rn

[@jcplays5831]

This movie doesn’t get enough love. It’s beautiful and has amazing characters. Thank you for watching it

[@demiserofd]

If you watch carefully, the reason they're able to pass machinehead is because they LITERALLY PUSH THE ACCELERATOR THROUGH THE FLOOR.

[@geekhero7841]

This movie is underrated masterpiece!

[@Flawless-Walrus]

I've loved this movie for a decade lol, and it's always been way too underloved. It's one of the most high-octane acid trips of a badass movie I've ever seen, all with perfect visuals. I clicked this vid in a nanosecond when I saw it posted, and your reactions are everything I wanted.

[@Mkronox]

O my god, I have no idea how many times I have seen these movie and I love to see your reaction for it. I have seen comments mentioning some of the really subtle details. These movie has some extremely subtle storytelling on the relationship of some characters and it gives you some really fun times on future watches. Details include the relationship between Machine head and Sonoshee, and the possible traitor that informed them about the disintegrator cannons and possibly sending people to release "Funckyy Boy" being the doctor guy wanting to get read of the biological weapon. Also I believe the mob guy was the guy driving the golden car that JP kept remembering.

[@jannaarnold2509]

Your life is now known in BRL and ARL. Before REDLINE AND AFTER READ LINE- JESUS ERIC I WAS TYPING THIS COMMENT AND THEN HE SAID IT

[@michaelhudson3737]

so happy, now all i need now is vampire hunter d:bloodlust and I'm gonna be a happy man. also great catch the director of this also directed the "sprinter" segment in the animatrix.

[@coolbombprime986]

Underrated masterpiece imo. I remember immediately after I watched it for the first time I turned it back on.

[@Acermanzx]

If you want an anime series that has the same energy as Redline, check out Space Dandy.

[@matthewhwang9399]

They actually did show this in theater recently... in Japan... with free merch. So jealous. ;-(

WHAT

[@xosaint4736]

There are two OVAs that came out before Redline that star two of the characters in Redline called “Trava Fist Planet”. You can find it on KZbin, I like to think it happens before Redline.

[@crazilyinsane6736]

OMG FINALLY, I remember requesting this movie a few years back. Its a master peace! It Needs more attention!

[@magnushaveland2526]

This movie is AMAZING! It is the rule of cool, animated. The animation is out of this world, and I wish more people animated like this...

[@danieln6700]

I watch this movie at least once or twice a year. It's so much fun. I like they just decide it's own robo world even tho they don't want it lmao.

[@catstench]

i first saw redline in 2011 and it will forever be my favorite movie ever

[@gurdimeikenskjaldi5060]

so we have together: Wacky Races, crappy future, Kaiju's, humanoids, superhero-ish, rockabillies, aliens, AKIRA-like powers, Space Trump, mafia, militaristic dictatorship, mechs, magic, idols, rockabillies... perfection in 100k photograms painted with blood ink and adrenaline over 7 years of production! I heard about Redline for many years, I saw it just 5 days ago and I'm not the same person anymore xD I honestly didn't think such a production could exist so late in the 00s... there are still great anime movies, and studio Ghibli baked masterpieces for all these years but this... this is basically the AKIRA of the 21st century!

[@Alpharius93]

How didn't I see this uploaded until now?! The most amazing anime movie ever, so glad you enjoyed it too!

[@itschris6064]

this is my fav anime movie by far. its like watching pure dopamine

[@MarkHWillson]

SO glad you guys got around to this. :D Under-known modern classic. Thanks for spreading the love.

[@danieln6700]

This movie is so good, such a cool art style and animation, sound track kicks ass too.

[@ChrisDixon__]

37:57 this is a big compliment most animators would love to get after years of work on a project. Studio Mad House really conveyed a sense of speed and adrenaline with this film, I would love to see what they'd do with a Sonic anime with the same team of animators.

[@AleSchuldiner]

Thank you thank you THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO THIS MASTERPIECE!!!

[@ramireini]

I just watched the movie, absolutely fantastic, the ending song was perfect.

[@DovahFett]

Reminds me a lot of Space Dandy, I wonder if it shared staff? Great show by the way.

[@besnos7506]

space dandy is like an animated series of redline.

[@PsychoDiesel48]

ITS HERE BABY!!!!!! ONE OF THE GREATEST TRIUMPHS OF HAND DRAWN ANIMATION!!!!! HELL FUCKING YES! PEDAL TO THE FUCKING MEDAL!!!!

This movie was nuts!!! Love the soundtrack as well

[@zachariousmccool5768]

Love this movie and its artist. I love the style. I really....really wonder what the discussion would be if Aaron was there. As for peaks of animation this movie is right up there with Akira.

The mechanic shotgun was loaded with screwdrivers, btw

[@yup8865]

A Redline video game with the same art style would be awesome!!

[@paleposter]

Here we go! Yeah, this is the movie. My favorite part was the ending where all the racers are cool with losing bc they got to see JP win.

[@PricedZer0]

7 Years production. Frame ..by ..Frame..!!!

[@TheDonmayo]

Pressed the like button about 4 seconds in, this is without question, one of the best looking animation movies ever made. Also one of my favorite.

This entire movie was just Madhouse studio flexing on every other animation studio

The entire movie is an homage the '70s it makes a Star wars death race in mad Max. All of the ads and characters are supposed to be mock-ups of '70s pop culture

After watching this movie, I just wanna sit back and have a stiff drink. It's just that exhausting and I LOVE IT!

[@EggBoi_8]

21:25. One of the best feelings is to see this movie for the first time. It’s just a drug lol. And then the next best if not better feeling. Is showing it to someone new. Watching this reaction was just everything and more I hoped.

I think over what could have made this movie better.. without ruining what we already got. Which when you really think aobut it.. is a tough task when something is made with this amount of love and devotion. But I found one thing... If funky boy would have entered the race and got counted on the infographic from the redline race overview staff like Dazuna.
