This movie can for sure be pretty polarizing. On the one hand you have people like me who love it to death, and on the other you have people who don't want to get any Charms for Bingo.

Spoiler

the Love Boin's racer transformed into a sexy robot and started kicking tails!

I don't know if I will watch this again anytime soon, but this is definitely one of those movies that will reward you on a re-watch.  Thinking back on that earlier part in the Oasis restaurant, it will have a ton of "Oh yeah, that guy!" moments the second time around.

Gave it an 8/10.

Hm. All I can find when searching is an English dub (and I'm not sure it's legal either 😛)

The original creators did put the movie up on YouTube a while back themselves. Not sure if that specific upload is still there, or in your region. I own the bluray so I watch that. 

Also for future reference, this site is usually pretty accurate: https://www.justwatch.com/ca/movie/redline-2010

I can dock points you know. 

Look overlord @Gloves.  I am going into it with an open mind, dock points all you want, i stand by my conviction of anime sucks and racing games are for the most part horrible.........But I am trying.  I would never, ever watch this movie, or any like it, if it had not been for this bingo game, so u have made me "uncomfortable" so far. 😏

Ye olde Bingo is a seductive mistress.  Contrary to what I originally voted, I did end up watching it.  It was aight.  Not really my thing. 4/10.  

Seems like plot wise not a lot really happened.  I’m assuming the allure is more the animation and the scenes?  It is certainly well done but I don’t particularly like it.  The squishy face and slobber looking style weirds me out. It’s like the animators of Ren and Stimpy did a reboot of Wacky Races in the style of Cowboy Bebop.

Fucking loved it. Just ordered the bluray.  So frenetic and over the top with gratuitous violence and plenty of weirdness.  This is the exact type anime that I like.  Reminiscent of old school 80s 90s anime.  Reminds me a lot of the Running Man short from Neo Tokyo (1987) which was also featured on Liquid Television in the 90s.

Redline popped on Amazon or Netflix on day and I happened to be reading a must watch anime list, so I gave it a shot.  I did enjoy it.  I could see why people think the film gets outlandish, I was good with the plot.  One of my favorite anime series is Outlaw Star and it has a multiple episode segment about a space race with their grappler arm space ships.  And Outlaw Star can go off the rails as well same with Tri-Gun, but I loved them both.  So I have a primer in this type of experience.  7/10

Racing Fan Desu:

Finished this movie, I think all the characters finished in the end too........... 😏

Um, what is with the redskull nazi-esque army hating on racing.........Also, did he win by just the tip.......of his hair?

Now I really, really like the number 78 for some reason.............

2/10
