If you havent seen this movie its a must! Even if your not really into anime... im not and its still a great movie!

The story was pretty basic for an anime movie but it makes up with great visuals which makes for a exciting movie.

A big fan of anime and was glad I picked this one up.

I first heard about this movie on anime news network and didn't really think anything of it. I started the movie and it instantly drew me in. As soon as it starts it throws you into this fantastic visually stimulating world. I honestly haven't seen fluid animation like this in such a long time. This movie was supposed to be released a few years ago, but due to some setbacks it wasn't. So it was in production for almost a whole decade. But I digress, as to not ruin anything, I won't go too far into detail. The first race pulls you in and doesn't let go. I was actually out of my seat rooting for the main character to win lol. After the first race, the movie dulls down a little to deliver the finer points of detail, like character descriptions and some of their history. Sounds boring right? Nope, I can assure you that it is anything but boring. The crazy thing about this movie is that it has soooooo many random parts into that make you say "What?", but at the same time you understand why they put it there and what's actually going on. This is actually what made me watch this for like 2 days straight lol. If you're a big fan of anime and don't mind subtitles, I highly suggest watching this in its native language(Japanese). It adds to the feel of the movie in general because the actors basically bring the characters to a whole other level. Another great thing is the soundtrack. It's just about perfect in every way for the movie, BUT it's not for everyone. It can get a little over the top rave style here and there(which I honestly love). Short Version: A racing/love story with comical aspects thrown in. STOP!! You better not be thinking Fast and the Furious, b/c it's nothing like that. DO NOT pass this up. Even if you turn out not liking it, it won't(shouldn't) seem like a waste of time/disappointment at all. It'll appeal to you one way or another. MADHOUSE really took my breath away with this and I hope they're working on another project right now.

The visuals for the film are all completely hand drawn and are of the highest quality. The film took several years to complete and is worth seeing for the visuals alone. It helps that the style is fast and cool, like a mix of Guardians of the Galaxy, F-Zero, and the works of Shinichiro Watanabe (Samurai Champloo, Space Dandy, Cowboy Bebop).

One of the best animes of the recent times. The plot is pretty predictable, but the visuals are spectacular.
