For me it's RedLine

Maybe the real bad guy was you're single digit in all along

machine head was NEVER the bad guy, he is just an antagonist, the top racer which the underdog hero has to overcome
both army and evil gambling backer are bad guys, for two different situations. One for all racers, and one for the hero personally. Are you too dumb to understand such a basic concept? And both were dealt in a satisfaction way. One was killed by one of the protagonists teammates(with a lot of character development for the other teammate) while the other was humbled by the racers being able to outdrive their attacks and by doing so revealing all their evil shit to the universe.

mediocre ending, if it was only him vs the robot guy without the chick interrupting the testosterone flow it would've better

Yeah, that's called shit writing, if you wanna have a stack of antagonists and subplots and shit you make a series, not try and hamfist it into a feature length. But obviously I'm criticized your retarded/beloved baby so why bother

when is machine head ever the bad guy what
even the roboworld dudes have a pretty fucking good reason to be mad about redline

you have ADD if you can't follow a plot as simple as redline. That's on you and your shitty genes.

the movie is about a race and the movie highlights all the people in the race. they are all antagonists of each other. machinehead is the "guy to beat". roboamericaworld are the "true" bad guys of the galaxy with their fascist armies and shit. JP and his buddy's problems are the personal story separate from that. though lol @
you are very very dumb. maybe continue watching SoLs since a plot with multiple points of conflict is too much for you

here i made an OC pic for this thread

I really, really hope you aren't and don't think that image is a "bell curve."

in the first post, I couldn't resolve the image in my head. it's obviously not a bell curve lmao

Akira good animation first movie
Redline eh animation first movie

I dunno what's off about it. The racing feels so inconsequential and contrived I guess, like when there's a really boring fight scene in Fate or Mob Psycho where lots of shit is going on with crazy effects and I don't feel the tiniest bit of suspense or emotion about it, just waiting for it to end so I can see what boxes the fight checked in the plot.

Do plotfags really?

if you don't scream and howl in laughter when JP skips the car across the water idk what to tell you. i also saw redline in theaters recently, it was amazing - the part where the space laser fires shakes the whole theater with bass. god the whole final race was so good.

So why do I enjoy Akira?

Maybe it's that Redline is depicting a competition, so it basically says there's a moment-to-moment point to the wacky races stuff when we're just supposed to be luxuriating in animation, while Akira doesn't.
I think I don't like the racing in Steel Ball Run for the same reason.

>always love the dumb thing where anime writing is judged on some kind of bell curve, where if the show looks like dogshit (isekais, uzaki), no one criticizes the writing, but if the animation is bombastic or ridiculous/unique (redline, TTGL, tekkonkinkreet), the writing is "poor" or "confusing"
I absolutely despise this. Zig Forumsutists believe everything has to be 'deep' i.e. convoluted, in order to be considered a good story.

I know it has flaws but I simply just love it to death and have probably watched the whole thing like 20 times by now.
The characters are fun
The music is great
Its still the best looking anime
The Racing association shitting on Robo Hitler for ratings still makes me laugh
It's not the cleverst work out there but definitely one made with lot's of passion.

Some people just cannot into movies that aren't mainly about story. Redline is smack full of world building, tiny glimpses into the lives of the larger than life characters and the general silliness of the world they inhabit but not much of it is expanded upon in the way most folks are used to and enjoy. If you don't pay attention you'll miss so many of these little details and hints and you'd be amazed how little attention the average viewer invests in what they watch.

I've conceded Redline just ain't the amazing movie I think it is to everyone.

Saved.
>why doesn't Simon just bring Nia back
These people are straight up retards.

Bro, Redline is fucking great.
From the animation style to music to fanservice.
>but the plot is medicore
Yeah its an action racing movie with lots of eyecandy animation, what did you expect? Bakemonogatari-esque, pretentious backstory and character driven plot?
Redline is based, unequivocally.

>If you don't pay attention you'll miss so many of these little details and hints
I'm pretty sure most speedwatchers don't even notice that Machinehead Tetsujin and Sonoshee know each other/are very possibly related.

...why DOESN'T he just bring her back? Spiral power is literally godhood and Simon is an idiot for not using it to keep his one true love alive.

Guy who thinks Redline was okay at best here, I don't know how anyone could possibly miss that. I think you need to just accept that not everyone likes what you like, it's not because "they don't pay attention and miss everything!," they just don't like it.

He should stop being a pussy and just fuck the shit out of Yoko like we all did when we were 14.

How about if instead of having JP as a traditional main character you had a true ensemble cast of lots of shallow but cool characters.

Have it be like a reality TV show where you're cheering for the two guys from alpha centauri but they crash out at the 45 minute mark and you pick a new favorite.

modern anime has trained so many peoples' brains to be short circuited by anything that isn't "2-4 genericlly designed teens in a contemporary japanese setting do nothing in a linear story"

Oh no poor baby, did the pretty movie hurt your precious little eyeballs?

Have you considered that nobody bothers criticizing Uzaki's plot or generic isekai's plot because nobody makes "X is a masterpiece," "for me it's X," "what an amazing anime too bad they make garbage instead of more stuff like X" threads about them every week or two for years/decades on end like they do for stuff like Redline / TTGL / FLCL?

gurren lagann is the only series i've ever seen where the main characters can straight up yell what is happening and why + explicitly explain all the allegories out loud, and people still don't get it

i can't be bothered to parse this sentence but fuck all seasonal anime-grazing chimps who just mindlessly consume barrel-bottom content and move on to the next shit until they die

>fuck all seasonal anime-grazing chimps who just mindlessly consume barrel-bottom content and move on to the next shit
If you admit that you aren't going to read my post, then you probably shouldn't try to respond to it.

fpbp

good animation
shit everything else
i don't get why it's so hard to get both right at the same time
