Why Redline is Important and you SHOULD Believe the Hype!
[...]
THAT is why Redline has been hyped beyond belief. It’s not because it is like old anime and only us old-timers can dig it. It’s because it contains all the elements that made America pay attention, it is the reason why the anime boom in the 2000s happened, it is why you are watching the anime that you are watching now and have a fandom to stand on, and the fact that it is refreshing, new, and accessible. Is Redline for everybody? Hell yes! You simply have to put down your standards of what you expect. Not to say you should go in with lower standards or any other sort of false bullshit like that. No! You should not expect it to be a 13 or 26 episode Key show, you should not expect it to have the pacing of a modern anime series, and you should not expect it to follow in the tropes and traditions you have become used to. This is a 100 minute long movie! It needs to get in and get out. It needs to tell its story and be done with it. No sequels, no franchise reaching aims, just a story. It’s that straight forward. Redline tells it’s story, fleshes out its characters, and does it all with a sense of style that younger anime fans have never experienced before. When you watch Redline you will see why old-school fans love the anime that they do. You will understand why it was this type of anime that launched the fandom in the first place. Whether you like it or not is up to you and your own personal tastes and judgments, but you should at least be able to acknowledge and understand that this IS important and not something to be taken lightly.
