I have been a, sort of underground, Patlabor fan for several years, but I could not bring myself to pay the ridiculous price it originally was. However, let's move on to an actual review.First, I am reluctant to even call Patlabor an anime. It's more of a toned-down animated sci-fi. I, myself, am really not an amine fan, but more of a general sci-fi fan. I say this meaning that Patlabor can be enjoyed by all kinds of people, not just anime fans. In fact many anime fans are fond of Patlabor because of how conservative and simple it is. Patlabor is very different from other mech shows, such as Gundam, Macross, and Eureka 7. In fact, Patlabor is only partially about mechs. The mechs in Patlabor are more like a futuristic symbol or a team mascot than a plot builder.Patlabor is about a lousy Tokyo police unit called SV2 (Special Vehicles Unit 2). In the "future" (1999, ten years after the series was created), labors (mechs) are used for general construction work. However, in a large city like Tokyo, crime involving labors rose and now is not uncommon. Hence, the creation of police patrol labor units or patlabors. The series starts out by introducing the members of SV2 with them ... well, not doing much of anything. I admit, I too was thrown off by the series sort of awkward and boring introduction. I was especially thrown off by the lack of background sounds, and choppy, redundant dialogue. But keep watching, this is done on purpose! Patlabor, in both the OVA and TV series, starts off with SV2 doing simple everyday police missions (but with mechs), comedic filler episodes, and with SV2, as I said before, sitting around the unit doing nothing.However, this method of story development makes the characters so much more relatable and real than in the violent, overly dramatic, typical action cartoon. But keep watching, the series builds a lot of intensity in episodes 5, 6, and 7. I promise desire for action will not go unsatisfied, as this group of lousy, ordinary cops are put into extraordinary situations. This is the beauty of the show.So if your hoping for an unoriginal robots-fighting-and-blowing-things-up show (not that there is anything wrong with those), this is not Patlabor. However if you want something feel-good with a good story and funny characters but ends with a bang, Patlabor is the show for you. If you enjoy the OVA, watch the movies and TV series. The best Patlabor has to offer is actually movies 1 and 2. The great thing about the OVA series is that it is sort and cheap. So if it doesn't impress you, which honestly it does not appeal to everyone, you have not wasted a lot of time and money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection for a mostly over looked anime *by A***X on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2019* When I was a wee anime fan this show would pop up on rare occasions. It's an anime that is usually overlooked because the team that created it, created a studio just for this then disbanded after the project was done. As giant robot anime goes it's not out there. There are no aliens, no "evil" scientists and for the exception of one giant see monster nothing superbly out there.Instead, its a police force from an alternate reality were evolutions in technology created the laborer. Giant robots used for a multitude of tasks from construction to military applications. Of course, this comes with a new form of crime, labor crime. To combat this a police division is created. They are then equipped with Patrol laborers (shortened Patlabor) they head into the streets.Most of the draw of this anime comes from the characters and how they handle the scenarios that crop up on a daily basis. At first, the new recruits are looked upon as misfits and for the most part rightly so. But as their individual personality are allowed to shine through, and then showing off their personal skills the motley crew gain recognition.This a great show for people who like the down to earth cop dramas, into giant robots, or into charecter stylized shows. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A classic anime for the adult anime fan *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2019* New anime has lost a charm that can never be replicated. With its youth centric culture and storylines where high school life is at the forefront, there’s absolutely no reason why to continue with the genre, when you have grown up with grown up problems. But here comes the oldschool, with its interesting concepts, fun stories and pleasing aesthetics that reminds you how good anime can be! Patlabor is more than giant robot anime. It’s more than a police procedural. It’s a fun grab bag of comedy, drama, action, adventure, character development and absolutely no high school drama! So if you’re an adult and have no interest in protagonists that are trying to get into a university or saving the world because they’re 15 and are an orphan, give Patlabor a chance!
