Every so often, an experience comes along that kicks you in the face. Gurren Lagann is brimming with adrenaline and GAR-fueled moments, and Redline might be the only other piece of animation that matches it in magnitude. A racing film at heart, there are intense action scenes and gorgeous visuals that raise the bar for animation in film. While its narrative is definitely lacking, I will guarantee that you will have a smile plastered onto your face by the end.
Don't miss this film.

Both series have similar artwork as well as crazy action that is out of this world.
The main male protagonist from both series is also daring and courageous often willing to take risks. The female protagonists in both series also have similiar personalities.
There are a lot of action scenes, drama, comedy, and some romance.
Both series are very fast paced and contains a noticeable soundtrack.
Both Redline and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (TTGL) have similar style of animation, that is the standard goodness of Gainax. TTGL and the movie focus on the action, much more than plot, and are something that would be enjoyed more if we just relax and watch the awesomeness.

Gurren Lagann and Redline are similar shows in only a few aspects as the two are in different genres, Gurren Lagann being a mecha and Redline being a racing anime. They are also animated by different studios Gurren Lagann being done by Trigger and Redline being done by Mad House. Redline stands as a single movie with no extensions where as Gurren Lagann is a 27 episode series with multiple ovas, specials, etc. However both of them also have very crazy and unique art-styles; practically throwing colors everywhere. As well as the two sharing a very similar way of being told in how they both

Redline is so utterly ridiculous that even after my constant pondering, the only thing I could come up with was Gurren Lagann, another anime that requires you to put your brain into hibernation in order to enjoy it
-Both have extremely good animation, with flashy colors
-Both are about machines and boosting their power to make them stronger
-Both have a hint of romance and an older brother type character that is manliness incarnate
-Both have to do with aliens from space

Although the plot and characters in TTGL are amazing, I feel the main reason many people love it so much is due to how much fun the show is to watch, and if anything can replicate how much fun watching spiral powered mechs combine is, it’s illegal space racing.
Don't be turned away from Redline due it being about racing, to call the things they drive 'cars' is a vast understatement, and are as close to normal race cars as the Gurren is to an average mech.
Both are over the top awesomeness incarnate and stay at full throttle the whole way through, with Redlines amazing

Both anime feature an artstyle that resembles much some found in western animation (though TTGL's is more cartoony), have an exaggerated feel, over-the-top action, bright choices of colors and are manly in an enjoyable way.
They also share various sci-fi elements and feature non-human races too.

Both have bombastic, over-the-top action accompanied with stellar OST's. Both worlds are filled with a uplifting and feel-good ambiance. Incredibly irreverent and bold mech designs; Gurren Lagann its the gunmen and in Redline its the cars. Such contrived action but so woven beautifully you can't help get riled up and invested in the story. Creative, fast, action-packed, both take strides in their fantastic story telling and world development.
Redline and Gurren Lagann share very similar aesthetics, style, and the same crazy love for speed and momentum which is so prevalent and heart-pounding and it isn't just coincidence since both anime share several key animators (Katsuya Yamada, Sushio, and Hiroyuki Imaishi).
But while I can say that they share a similar style and aimation I also have to say that they are also pretty different with their executions since Redline is more of a thrilling 24/7 ride than Gurren Lagann which is a pretty deep and impactful show.
