Trailer for MADHOUSE’s upcoming car-racing anime film Redline. It is directed by Takeshi Koike (Animatrix – World Record, Trava) with Takuya Kimura voicing the lead character, JP. The film will open in Japan this October.

Thoughts: It garnered rave reviews after advance screenings at international film festivals. What piqued my interest was ANN’s Tim Maughan describing it as “potentially one of the most daring and important anime movies for a very, very long time”. I am hopeful that it’ll eventually be screened in Singapore…
