Sentai sometimes just has IP's that they then sell to you at a good deal on a sale a year later. It is complete fucking random but I love them for it.

Anyway I watched Redline. Insane movie.
Every part of this film is stunning. Absolute art. First ten seconds you are locked in. The racing is amazing. The Roboworld villains are so stupid that it's charming. This is peak anime.

Redline was only one of the two movies that almost killed madhouse.
The other one was Dreaming Machine, which might take a small wall of text to explain why. Might be worth it since quiet a few new anime fans don't know who Satoshi Kon and Masao Maruyama (the two main people involved) are.
 
Takopi’s Original Sin is pretty much Goodnight PunPun but for the new generation. I read the entire thing in full and it was really well done. Now, I can’t wait to see the anime in full when I have the chance.
 
I was reminded due to a discussion elsewhere of dubious pre-1990 US releases of anime films, of the ultimate "We have anime at home" title, a South Korean feature that knocked off designs from Gundam and Zambot 3 and got two different home video releases in English. Clash of the Bionoids or Warriors of the Wind have nothing on this in the "We have anime at home" stakes because releases like those, at least, were based around an actual anime feature.

It’s a shame it flopped, Redline is peak, and normie friendly to boot. I describe it as Wacky Races in space for adults. If they had a good ad campaign, I bet they could make bank on a re-release, there’s literally no competition at the box office.
 
They are making an anime of Fujimoto's 17-21 and 22-26 One-Shot collections.
This is a huge surprise for me, I found most of the stories mediocre, but I'm excited because there are a few that I really loved and I'm happy they'll get an anime adaptation.

Also, it seems will get literally everything he did before we get a Fire Punch (peak) anime.

I mean Infinity Castle is hitting America next week lol. There is competition. But yes, if marketed properly, it could make a tidy sum

To clarify, I meant there’s no competition from domestic works. Weapons and the Jaws 50th anniversary run are out of the theaters as of today I think, which means there’s nothing but cape slop. There are lots of Tojo Toon movies that aren’t too weird for American normies that would probably make bank if they had a theater run with good enough marketing. Stuff like Redline, Ghost in the Shell, the Ghibli movies, Ninja Scroll and I’m sure there are plenty of romance type movies that western women would like but I don’t care to watch.

The point is that Western media is effectively dead at this point, and the Japanese entertainment apparatus could capitalize if they cared to.

I mean I liked the latest Superman. Pretty decent. Same with Mission Impossible. Redline would be competing mainly with any racing film that came out, which still is a strong genre. F1 made 615 million, a strong showing for a movie about formula one racing, that was just this year. For a anime movie, it could proably break 100 mil if advertized correctly. Costs are zero, the film has been made.
