I just have to accept that most peoplle are philistines with shit taste...

>filtered

I don’t think the issue is technology. People can animate on iPads now. Anyone in the world can work on a production remotely.
The bigger issue is having an original story and a cohesive style that the whole crew feels motivated to rally behind. You also need a charismatic director who pushes for quality.

>I am surprised there are people who claim it has no "characters" or plot.
Those people are usually the ones who never realized Machine Head was Sonoshee's father, and that Volton was JP's.

Why are threads with Redline in the OP always embarrassing?

What the fuck. I suspected the first, but not the latter.

It's pretty obvious, both smokers, both the same hairstyle, both have the same mannerisms like walking around with one hand in a pocket, and JP was clearly at the diner waiting for someone when Volton turned up, and he's oddly familiar when he tells Volton to split.

Redline is massively popular though.
Takeshi Koike still works on anime but you wouldn't know that.

It's got great worldbuilding though. The attention to detail extends well beyond the animation.

>massively popular
Stop using word combinations that you don't understand.

massive means a lot and popular means liked my many so it's liked by a lot of people

Or that the mafia boss was the racer JP was inspired by

Because the masses have a life.

Redline is not massively popular, not here, not anywhere.
Shit like SAO is massively popular. This flick doesn't even come close to that.

Its just head canon fan theories, would be kinda cool if true but no actual evidence of it

that's fucking retarded. there's a difference between headcanon and reading between the lines. Sonoshee is waiting at dinner for someone - Machine head shows - she waves to machine head. Sonoshee says the streamlight is precious to her, and that her dad was a famous racer - Machine head says "are you going to use the streamlight this time?" when meeting Sonoshee in the race. When Sonoshee is knocked from her car, both JP and Machine Head get shots focused on their reaction, but them two alone. You'd have to be dumber than a fucking brick to call that headcanon

The Sonoshee-Machine Head relationship is the only semi believable one and even then its shoddy at best. All those indicate is that they know each other, which makes sense since Sonoshee has been racing for years and likely had competed against Machine Head in other races before she finally got to the Redline.

And then the Mafia Boss and Volton ones are literally "T-they kinda look like eachother so they must be the related!!!" sub 80 iq theories for retards

>good again
Implying it once was.

user you believe this because you are ignorant of Mangaka Agenda. When you come to understand this only then will you appreciate the beauty that is all anime forever.

>I rely on others to create art for me to consume to give my existence meaning

The only thing I hate more than misinformed ignorant masses are the misunformed ignorant faggots that are deluded into thinking they’re hot shit. Go actually watch some more anime before trying to signal about how better your taste is.

The Mafia Boss and JP's Hero
>Wears the same clothes
>Is often shown backed by two hot ladies
>Rolls around in a giant version of a classic 1950's car

It was less subtle than the Sonoshee-Machine Head connection.

>but you wouldn't know that.

he does lupin movies :)
