The perfect anime doesn't exis-

Patlabor sucks ass though

Adult cop SOL is better than moe SOL at least

I should really look into this franchise. Guess I'll start with the Oshii flicks.

hey this sounds pretty coo-
>Premiered: Fall 1989
nvm

OVAs where great.

The movies sucked.

The TV show was just ok.

OVA Clancy is my waifu.

The movies are set after the OVA

Start with the Early Days OVA.

Fucking pleb. Anime has possibly never had better cinematography than Patlabor 2.

I *hated* Patlabor 2.

It is so freaking slow, the aged everyone making it hard to remember who was who, the relationships between the characters where kept vague due to the time skip and it made me hate Shinobu.

But most of all I hated it because Clancy was not in it.

There's not a dull shot in the entire film.
If you watch Patlabor for intense mecha battles instead of characters trying to solve a mystery resulting from a coup or conflict between government factions I feel bad for you son. It's the meat of the first two movies.

No one watches Patlabor for the battles, if i wanted dumb battles i would watch Gundam.

But i also don't want to be put to sleep while they spend 20 minutes looking at camera footage of some blurry airplane, while Shinobu has some existential crisis because she hasn't been laid in 10 years.

There was no mystery for the viewer to solve because the story kept everything hidden from you from the start.

>There was no mystery for the viewer to solve because the story kept everything hidden from you
That's how movies work senpai. You shouldn't be miles ahead of your protagonists, waiting for them to figure out what the movie has explicitly told you.

Watch The Sky Crawlers if you want to see a genuinely boring Oshii movie. Patlabor 2 is enthralling though visuals alone.

Tbh, I dropped Patlabor and I rarely ever drop anime. It was the early days OVA. Great OP, but that was about it. Rest was really unfunny SoL.

No, you should not be miles a head, but you should not be miles behind either. The movie hid relationships from the viewer that the characters knew about, factions and factional relationships from the viewer that the characters knew about.

I put Patlabor 2 on when i want to fall asleep while watching some nice mechanical design work.

All of Oshii movies are boring.

Why was it SO fucking bad?

Not even the best mech cop show desu

If you put a gun to my head and tell me to tell you one thing that happened in that movie, i couldn't, i would be dead.

>All of Oshii movies are boring.
Maybe don't even bother posting in these threads since your opinion is worthless.

It's essentially the worst episode of a great show. It's still not that bad.

I thought the fight in the concert venue was cool, at least.

Doesn't make his movies any less terrible.

Jin-Roh was great, but he only wrote/produced that one, didn't direct it, which is why it was great. Kept him from Oshii-ing all over it.

What's that?

stop trying to associate a subjective emotion like boredom with quality of a show. That makes people take you even less seriously.

And why not? It was a boring movie, with a boring script, boring dialog, all done by a boring director. All it has going for it is it animation and scenery, which was also boring.

Your Under Arrest i think, but i don't remember there being any mechs.

SO NEVER CRY ITSU MO

Because it's an opinion and not a fact. You did not say "I do not like this," but "this is bad." When you assert a statement, you support it with fact. When you assert an opinion, you support it with opinion. Supporting a statement with an opinion will make no one take you seriously.

Boring is just a subjective term that people use when they cant think of any real reasons that are wrong with the show, dont use it.

There is a mech

It's mostly about cars

The only fact is that it is a animated movie.

Everything else is an opinion.

I have the OVAs on laserdisc. Feels good man.

Well shit I didn't know Boku no Pico and Mars of Destruction was just as good as Fullmetal Alchemist or Cowboy Bebop. Thanks for enlightening me about what an opinion is! and also more significant reasons for no one to take you seriously

Boku no Pico is better than Fullmetal alchemist

I prefer Vandread.
