description Redline Overview
Every five years, an exhilarating race called Redline is held, and the universe's most anticipated competition has only one rule: that there are none.

help Redline FAQ
Why do people talk about Redline as a hand-drawn animation showcase?
Redline was produced by Madhouse and directed by Takeshi Koike, with production widely reported as taking years and using a huge number of hand-drawn frames. The 102-minute film is famous because the racing, explosions, and character motion feel physically drawn rather than computer-smoothed.
What is the actual Redline race in the movie?
Redline is an illegal, anything-goes race held every five years, and the story follows JP after he qualifies for it. The final race is set on Roboworld, which makes the event dangerous before the racers even start driving.
Who are JP and Sonoshee in Redline?
JP is the pompadour-wearing driver who relies on nerve, style, and his Trans Am 20000 WR. Sonoshee McLaren is a rival racer with her own history in the sport, and their relationship gives the film more shape than a pure race reel.
Is Redline connected to Trava: Fist Planet?
Yes, Trava: Fist Planet came before Redline and shares characters and design DNA with it. You can watch Redline by itself, but Trava and Shinkai have extra context if you know the earlier OVA.
