Nach einem Skript von von Yoji Enokido (
FLFC, RahXephon, NGE), Yoshiki Sakurai (
GitS:SAC, Moribito) and Katsuhito Ishii (
The Taste of Tea, Funky Forest) bastelte Regisseur Takeshi Koike (
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Animatrix) einen offenbar absolut vogelfreien, durchgeknallten Anime:
OMGWTF???
Death Race 2000 auf LSD???
Redline wird wohl im Juni auf dem französischen
Annecy Animationsfestival gezeigt werden.
Zur Story:
Every five years, the toughest and most destructive underground car race in the universe, “REDLINE” draws the most elite drivers for a winner-takes-all asphalt battle! JP is a dare-devil reckless driver oblivious to speed limits with his ultra-customized wheels named “Transa Am.” One of his competitors, Sonosee is a hot girl determined to do whatever it takes to stand on the winner’s podium in the REDLINE. In order to win the finals, they’re up against the craziest drivers on the race scene with their deadly and awesome road-tearing vehicles. Moreover the biggest problem for JP is that he secretly is in love with Sonosee!
The only one rule in the race is there’re no rules. While cars crash and burn and the courses become a merciless hell, JP whips his ride into a dead heat!
Who will survive to win in this mass-destruction race?! And what about JP’s romance?
