The concept for Redline is actually not bad in my opinion. An intergalactic racing circuit who's biggest race  (known as the redline) is a no rules, mad max style free for all between 8 racers. This particular edition of redline is held on a planet called robot world where the leader of the planet is disgruntled over the fact that the race is being held on his planet. As a result, the racers are not only competing against each other, but also fighting for their lives against the planets military.

 And then that's about it. Cool concept. Weak execution. And honestly, I dont think the creators intended anything else. The plot is contrived, it's got a super corny love story, but the story isnt really meant to be the reason for watching. 

 The major redeeming quality for this show is definately the animation. Some of the best I've seen. Character design is cool, backgrounds and settings are really nice, well animated action scenes. Just incredible. 

 If your into racing anime, or super action packed stuff, this is probably worth a watch. If you care about a deep, well told story. Stay away.
