The dream of every racer to beat the track records held by Loser King, who disappeared a century ago. Because of this, giant cities that could drive around the planets surface were created to house what was left of the population.One of the biggest past times is a racing competition. That anime was Tailenders, released only two months after Redline.The plot takes place on planet Terulus, long after terraformers were used to try and repair the environment, only for them to go haywire and ravage the surface of the planet for centuries, creating mutations to the wildlife and devastating earthquakes. That went relatively unnoticed due to the attention that Redline was getting. But there was another similar highly stylized and fast paced racing anime that was released around the same time. Enjoy!īack in 2009, when Redline was released, it got a lot of praise and attention for it’s fantastic animation and artstyle as well as it’s great fast paced action and colorful characters. I hope that anyone that takes the time to look up this film will find it just as entertaining as I did.
TERRAFORMERS PLOT ARCHIVE
I'm going to archive it right next to my favorite animated films to watch again sometime. Overall, the Tailenders film could have been much longer and would have, perhaps, benefited from a little more material. By the end of the film I had a much better understanding of how she felt at that baffling point, but it sure caught me off guard. There isn't a whole lot of development, and at one point during the last 4 minutes I was pretty baffled by her actions. The antagonist, Goodspeed, is almost a side-character, but you can tell that Shiro and he have a history with each other.
Tomoe is not only the enigma character, she is also your typical mad scientist type, but with that sexy female strut and body, as well as her sharp mind, she is easily the most interesting character out of the bunch. He' is a head-strong, will-powered, race car driver. Shiro was developed well enough in the super-short amount of time allotted.
Being that I am not an officionado on sound, I will give this section an 8 based on the fact that I liked everything I heard, except when a couple of the characters were grunting (it was just weird) and when a couple doctors were shot with tranquilizers.
Every characters voice fit their profile and the sound effects for different types of actions and machines were chosen well. The music tracks and voice actors all did spledidly. The characters designs make me think of FLCL or Eyeshield21, while the landscapes look like something out of Akira, and the vehicles and hardware all remind me of something more retro-grade than all of the above with their sharp lines and geometric shapes. I don't mean like how in some anime the things that don't move are really lightly colored or have no sharp or thick lines while the opposite is true for the things that do move. It's as if the artists decided to put a lot of effort into some things and half-assed others depending on how they fit into each scene. THe style is real gritty and the colors are all in high contrast which really works for the way everything is drawn. There isn't much else I can say about the story, I wish the writers had made more than just this one, but beggars can't be choosers uless their rich, which would be unusual. The story could have been expanded on a LOT, and it's so fast-paced that you really have to pay attention the whole time lest you become lost. Shiro is then entered into a race that even the "Loser" never finished and the real adventure begins. Unfortunately (or fortunately) for Shiro, he finds himself in a pretty bad accident which nearly claims his life, but allows him the chance to fulfill his dream. There isn't much of a plot, other than that Shiro (the main character) wants to fulfill his dreams of surpassing the legendary "Loser" racer. Soon after, the scene jumps right into the actual story, quick and qithout hesitation. Tailenders is a short but fast-paced, bad-ass animated film that will rock your socks! When it first started, a narrator gave some background on the history of the planet, Terulus, and it's mishaps with a terraformer gone berserk or haywire.
