What's your favorite movie?Patlabor The Movie orPatlabor 2 The Movie?
Nowadays its the cool opinion to say the first movie is better than the second one but I still love the second one more. The first one is great too.
I'd honestly rewatch any episode of the OVA or TV series before either of the movies.
>>287715787Which one has the giant mutant tits? i forgot
>>287715861Wasn't that the spin-off? WWXV something like that?
>>287715851Respectable opinion, the OVA is great>>287715824I watched both of them this weekend. 1 is more fun, but there's more substance to the story in 2
>>287715787I just watched both for the first time a week ago. I liked the first one more. I really wasn't a fan of how the second movie is almost entirely a Gotou and Shinobu movie while the rest of the cast is almost entirely absent until the climax.
>>287715851I'd forgotten how over the place the OVA was, in my memories it was all just fun and games and I thought the srsbsns episodes were part of the TV continuity.
>>287715787Been thinking of getting into Patlabor. What's the best way in? There's a 7 episode OVA, a 47 episode series, and then the movies. What do people recommend?
>>287716882release order.
>>287715787It's the first one. It's the only one which is an actual movie. The second one is just Oshii making arguments in the shower and having the most talented animators of his generation animate it.>>287715824it is cool because it is correct
>>287715787I love both of them, but they are very different from each other.I would rather shill my favourite episode.
>>287715787WXIII unironically
>>2877157872nd of course.
>>2877177382 is a brilliant thriller.
>>287715787The first. Second isn't even Patlabor.
>>2877168827 OVAs, then the first movie. If you liked what you watched a lot, then watch the TV series and the sequel OVAs. If you weren't a big fan, skip the TV series and just watch the second movie after the first.
>>287716882Ova and then the two moviesYou can ignore the rest but if you need more I guess the tv show is ok
>>287719707>>287719725Okay, this seems reasonable. I'm mostly interested in the second movie because of some clips I saw so if I'm good with just the OVA and first movie ahead of that to know what's going on, that's doable. Thanks.
>>287719707>>287719725>>287719941TV is the heart and soul of the franchise.
>>287719941I fucking love the ova best anime ever madeThe first movie has a weird tone that goes from "this is great" to "why do they have to do this tv shit?"I haven't rewatched the second movie in years so I can't really compare them
>>2877157872
>>287716548>srsbsnsonly 2 is like that.
>>287716371>while the rest of the cast is almost entirely absent until the climax.so you watched the other entries that do have them, right?
>>287715851This. The movies are forgettable Oshii nonsense.80% of the appeal of this series is the goofy shit with tre crew
>>287723880The goofy shit only works in the ova
