Takeshi Koike wanted to make Redline (2009) as a sequel and gateway to a larger universe. ![]() Despite the lower budget, however, the series does feature some of the energy and insane cinematography that the film is known for. The series is made with a considerably lower budget than the film, and only has one episode under its belt. Initially, Takeshi Koike wanted to make an animated series, with a pilot episode, titled Trava: Fist Planet starring Shinkai and Trava, two major characters in Redline (2009).

While on Roboworld, JP and Sonoshee grow closer as friends. Redline will take place on Roboworld, a militaristic planet that not only despises the Redline racing organization, but is also afraid that the Redline event will uncover their military secrets. As Frisbee gives JP his payment, reporters bust in to tell JP that although he lost Yellowline, he qualifies for Redline due to two racers dropping out. It is revealed that JP and Frisbee are working under the Mafia and earn money by fixing races. JP later wakes up in a hospital where he is visited by his long-time friend Frisbee, who was the one who blew up JP’s engine. However, just as JP is about to win the race, his engine explodes, giving Sonoshee the time to pass him and win. Just as JP is getting left behind in the dust, he pops a small nitro charge into his fuel tank, giving him a tremendous boost of speed, enabling him to zip past the rest of the competition and rival Sonoshee for first place. Throughout the chaos of the race, we are introduced to the two main characters of the film, Sonoshee McLaren who is leading the race, and “Sweet” JP, the underdog of the race. The film starts on an alien planet inhabited by anthropomorphic dogs, later zooming out to reveal that they are watching a high-octane car race at an event called “Yellowline”.
