What are Sup Forums's thoughts on Patlabor?

Quality franchise.

Noa is great tomboy

There's already a different boards for this shit. Take it back there:

They used to air this in my country's Fox Kids way back. All I remember about it is the main girl using a giant shotgun as a club against the black robot. Beyond that, everything is a blur

Animation masterpiece atleast

alphonse is sexy

Real mecha done right. All other real mecha shows need not apply.

Best work of Oshii, better than GiTS.

Great series.
Really not feeling this upcoming reboot.

It's not really a reboot.

user you know they don't just want to make it one episode
shame about it

There's nothing on the rules saying mecha anime or manga can't be posted in Sup Forums.

I'll give it a chance but I'm still not feeling it.

>tfw it's a cheeky Goto episode
>tfw you actually enjoya slice-of-life mecha police anime

Essential /m/ iiyashikei.

Haven't watched it but I've been eyeballing it for a while now.

Do I watch the show before the movies or are the movies suffice? I'll more than likely watch both anyway but I'm wondering what the differences are

3 continuities

OVA-movie 1-movie 2
TV series-OVA2
Manga

I think I'm in that minority of people who has watched the TV series but not the Oshii movies, outside of the first GitS movie I don't think I've ever actually liked anything I've watched from him. I'm more interested in reading the Patlabor manga one of these days to be honest.

Noa's a great MC, Azuma was cool too though he turns into a bit of an ass for no reason for a while later on. Goto best boy and the reporter chick was adorable.

Only mecha show I liked since it's not retarded.

At least give the first movie a try.

Yeah I intend to eventually.

It's going to be what? A ten minute OVA. Worst comes to worst you'll spend ten minutes being disappointed.

Waiting for the reboot movie desu

Why does he shoot everything?
Is he trained by American?

You know Oshii worked on the tv series, right?
Movie 1 is the best Patlabor, serious but not Oshii madness territory like movie 2.

>that episode where Goto is stuck in a love hotel with Shinobu

Did they fug?

mah man

Oshii ruined Patlabor with the second movie.

It's fucking great.

It's my favorite anime

Me too.

I've only ever seen the first movie and I didn't really like it. I didn't understand what was actually happening. Anybody else feel that way?

Are the OVAs and tv series better?

season 2 when?

It's fucking great, but you should ask .

It's encouraging that they're keeping the visual design, at least.

okay Sup Forumsnons, big question here. I have Yawara and Patlabor sitting on my hard drive, which should I watch first?
