Patlabor is awesome, what other shows have this political/military/tactical thriller vibe with focus on robots and their pilots?GiTS is one even if it doesn't have many pilots, I guess Kyoukai Senki too in a way but the execution is very poor.
>>22725291>Patlabor is awesomeWrong on every level, outside of movie 3 and Reboot it was a slog. Fuck MiniPato the most.
>>22725291Gasaraki involves a lot of complex political machinations (and global economic ones as well), though with a fair bit of Japanese mysticism added in.
>>22725291Full metal panic is pretty similar, the main difference is changing the blue collar style characters for a dose of contrived drama and magic powers. Which isn’t that overstated, just something to be aware of
>>22725301My doctor prescribed me gasaraki for my insomnia
>>22725301Oh yeah definitely, I hadn't considered Gasaraki but it does fit the topic very well.
>>22725301I love watching rice dry.

>>22725291Appleseed.Manga is the best, but the OVA and movies are fine enough.Obsolete is also worth a look.That said, I still think it's a kind of stretch to put such an emphasis on Patlabor political thriller's side.>>22725301Good show, but stopped watching about 10 episodes in because it didn't have enough adrenaline for my tastes.You could probably edit it to only feature the ground-level perspective without demolishing the story.
>>22725291Bullbuster is slightly similar to Patlabor in that it’s a show about the mecha being mostly a stand-in for construction equipment and occasionally weapons as the situation calls for. It’s definitely more of a blue collar sitcom about local small businesses and their relationships with the government and each other.

>>22725452>it's a kind of stretch to put such an emphasis on Patlabor political thriller's sideThat's like saying you shouldn't put an emphasis on Gundam's transhumanist side.
>>22725552Patlabor is really a lot of different things. Sometimes it’s a silly slice of life comedy with mecha. Other times it decides to get serious and political. Next day, we’re back to Scooby Doo ghost shenanigans and kaiju. It’s a unique franchise, anon.
>>22725560I don't see why putting emphasis on one aspect of it is a bad thing.
>>22725578Like any media, it should be whatever you personally get out of it. If you don’t engage with one aspect of it, then I guess you don’t vibe with it. Countless normies seem to love Evangelion just for the characters but can’t seem to get the action or the story.

We're gonna make it bros
>>22729753>we have really big batteries now we need everything else lolDon't toy with me like that.
>>22725309>>22725411Ouch on Gasaraki.
