Redline addpermalink

Both movies are galactic racing series pumped with spectacular colorful animation, dirty weapon-filled demolition racing, and enough badass adrenaline to kill several large elephants. Both series have a comic style set in space, and the down-on-his-luck protagonist has to rebuild himself and his resolve to win the race and get the girl at sacrifice of his own body. The only real difference is that Redline had more funding and talent behind it, so there is more polish and less restraint.

They pratically are the same movie! The animation style is very similiar, so's the story, and they're both about racing. Some might call the other a rip-off, I was just glad to find anything similiar at all.

Car racing, a headstrong lead male, a mysterious lead girl.

Both are fast paced high stylized and polished science fiction anime about fast cars, and both would make for a fantastic double feature. 

report Recommended by megafat

Both are anime movies (although varying in length, as for Tailenders is considerably shorter than Redline) that focus on crazy, bizarre at times, racing contests with high-speed vehicles that take place on alien planets, with flashy contenders behind the wheel. The main cast also feel somewhat similar in terms of dynamics between them.

Simply said, if you want more of Redline, just watch Tailenders. Both are about crazy over the top races with similar style of animation that uses almost the same artstyle and usage of color palletes.

Basically Tailenders is just Redline in 27 minutes.
-Story takes place in an alien planet where a race about to begin which can be regarded as a quite unique plot.
-Both of the movie is based on a crazy bizarre fast-paced intergalactic racing tournament with lots of adrenaline rush moments.
-Both of the movies have almost the same animation style and they just crashes the colour palate all over the place in both cases and that ends up being the coolest thing you'd ever see.
-The protagonists share almost similar characteristics.

Needs no explanation. 

Both center around high speed galactic racing, featuring hot shot (literally) protagonists who will do anything to win and are motivated by beating some previously unbeatable figure. Both protagonists are accompanied by a beautiful, wise, and carefree female partner who plays a substantial role in their success. Both also feature a superb blend of 2D and CG, coming together to create an amazing visual experience, and cap it all off with an epic final sequence. 

If you really want to be a reductionist, calling it "Redline in 27 minutes" wouldn't be too far off from the truth.

Both are fast-paced and rather crazy story-wise. The animation is also similar.

Shoujo Kakumei Utena: Adolescence Mokushiroku addpermalink

Cryptic storylines combined with racing and incredible visuals. Every aspect of these shows is designed to be as cool as possible, with unique characters and background art, besides some very weird - but cool - cars. The stories are pretty hard to follow, and you might need to rewatch them a few times before being able to fully understand what's going on.

Oval x Over addpermalink

Both are short animations that involve racing, and present races on the coolest way possible. Their aesthetics are very similar, with a lot of pure black contrasting with bright colors, and exaggerated direction. Oval x Over is directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi, whose style really feels like an influence to Tailenders.

Oban Star-Racers addpermalink

"Tailenders" and "Oban Star-Racers" are both anime focused on racing where a lot is at stake.

In these races, the situation is a free-for-all where violence often comes into play.

Trava: Fist Planet addpermalink

Similar animation, but Trava is more slow.

Both are smaller budget, short one episode OVAS by amateur or newer staff, featuring over the top action, highly stylish visuals and a very strong sense of passion behind their project. If you're someone who finds a lot of big budget anime rather stale these days, check out these passion projects, at a half hour each the time commitment is quite low, so you don't really have anything to lose trying either of them out.

Both: Mysterious girl with goggles gives superhuman powesr to a guy so he can work for her for a greater battle with an upgraded physcial body. Also the art styles are very 'sharp'.
