>>23807768I'm not sure if she's the very first female real robot protagonist but she's certainly the first to be the face of something so big, and to this day there's not a whole lot of others. I could see people worrying she's too recognisable to do anything else mecha. Also possible most of the parts in the genre available just don't appeal to her. Not a whole lot of precious genki dumbasses who get such a breadth of material. Mimmy did meet the Gundam once so that kinda counts.She's in Snatcher and the 2003 Astro Boy too which gets you a little more representation.
>>23809099 I need to get on 2003 Atom, it looks fun. >I could see people worrying she's too recognisable to do anything else mecha Eeeeeeh. I think if Noa became a mecha archetype people would've been all over it. Imagine if mecha had become synonymous with tomboys

I've started watching the OVAs. Can I get an an explanation about why japs are so anal about the differences between cops and the military? Usually most people (in the west) are either pro-both or anti-both, so this weird framing of the police as the noble everymen and the JSDF as your globalist boogeymen is very weird to me
>>23878445Japan is a weird case where a warrior culture got smacked in the mouth so hard that it went pacifistic. How writers and artists cope with the violence of the old ways and the pacifism of the new varies wildly, but generally speaking there's a sense of compartmentalisation. The police defend within, the military defend without, and that line is sacred.As for what's going on in Patlabor, there's a few inspirations. Japanese history is rife with coups of various kinds, and the 20th century is no exception. The military tended to view itself as a government of its own, constantly butting heads with the wishes of the civilian leadership because of Muh Honour and so on. Further divisions existed within the military itself, with the downright deadly rivalry between the Army and Navy during WW2 being the most infamous. All that shit was very much still within living memory when Patlabor was written. The idea that the military could go 'Fuck this' and take control of the country was something that people KNEW could happen.Patlabor 2 in particular emphasises at one point that the last time Japan had been in a true war, it was very much on the wrong side of things, allied with the literal fucking Nazis and committing atrocity after atrocity. And what did that get them? Their entire country burned to the ground, because they picked a fight they could not win.And even as the Emperor himself was about to announce the formal surrender of his country, a group of military officers still tried to mount a coup to prevent it, being more willing to see their people wiped from existence by nuclear fire than deal with the disgrace of surrender.So, there's a paranoia about Crazy Military Officers fucking the country over wild ambitions and trying to justify their own militarism.The police are not subject to this kind of concern, and they are actively structured to reduce the potential violence they can dish out.
>>23878526Japanese police officers are still to this day issued with old-school revolvers rather than the typical Glocks and Sigs that cops around the world get nowadays. The idea is that when you only have six rounds at a time and reloading is an involved process, you'd have to make every one of those bullets count. Every shot must be calculated, every fired round accounted for. The JSDF has a similar philosophy, being particularly anal about catching brass and keeping track of exactly how many bullets they've been firing during exercises.That's the reason why the Police Labors are fitted with scaled-up versions of existing police weapons rather than the integrated autocannons that the military's mechs get. They are intentionally gimping themselves to encourage discipline and reduce collateral damage. Imagine how disastrous Ota would be with an automatic weapon.

>>23892507Which Patlabor episode are your currently at?
>>23894323I finished 39, they just once again shelved the idea of mass-producing a weapon to surpass the Ingram Gear. This one was slightly more on the nose, commenting that yeah, if we had everyone running around with superior Labors it'd be a fucking problem, so we have to hold both ourselves and production back.
>>23891280Can anyone read that signature? It looks like Hangul!
>>23788720Obviously someone rubbed out the left side of the numeral 8.

I am catching up on my Patlabor. Just finished watching Early Days and first movie, god this shit looked amazing.
>>23901862yeah it's good stuff
Just so you know. Some dude on discord made subs for EZYhttps://files.catbox.moe/u00o0j.assSo you don't have to enter their discord
>>23903088Your sacrifice is appreciated.
>>23903088I'll pour a forty for your junk, as your incessant contact with discord must have resulted in you cutting it off;_;
>>23903088Thanks for your service.
>>23903088I just wanted them to be proofread is all, it was my first time making subtitles so I didn't want to release subs I wasn't confident in. I did plan on dropping them out in the open once they looked good enough but I hope you enjoy anyways
>>23903106Didn't know dorkly made such spicy comments.
>>23903129Well he's Mexican.
>>23903123I don't speak moonrunes but I think they are perfectly fine. Good job.
https://x.com/Protodedester/status/2064848612731884014Was this the same guy?I personally think this should been cooked for more time but you do you
>>23903137He's swarthy, but he's as American as apple pie, bucko.
>>23903215It definitely needed a bit more time, but seeing the somewhat imperfect ones get posted here made me want to send out the last revision I was working on. I didn't want any versions with timing errors and spelling mistakes be the regularly used subs. The ones I submitted should get the job done, it's definitely not professional level that's for sure.>>23903201Thanks, I'm really obsessed with Patlabor and I wanted to support Headgear's ambitions with EZY. I want all fans to be able to enjoy it too, so I tried my best to make some decent subs for the past three days. If this encourages a more professional subber to take the job, or even official subtitles, then I consider my job well done.
awwww fuck yeah TACTICAL PAPERWORK ACTION the dream lives!PATLABOR LIVES!https://u.pone.rs/lefdynrv.mp4 for toaster encode
i also want to get raped by towa
>>23903215Please use these subs instead, I went back and corrected more lines and tweaked things I didn't catch in both uploads of them. I also had a Japanese friend point out lines I should change or add notes too. I think these are the highest quality subs I was able to make. Sorry for make five billion different version, again I've never done something like this before. I didn't want it to look like I was gatekeeping them behind a server, like I said, didn't want to give you guys sub par subs. Ironically, I ended up doing so anyways, but I hope these will suffice. https://files.catbox.moe/0g70ty.ass
>>23904244Forgot to attach the link https://files.catbox.moe/0g70ty.ass
>>23904244>>23904246Never mind, I'm just spastic.
>>23904249We love spastics here, good job.
>>23897726Go for it, it's a decent buy
>>23903237 i feel like they must've been poking fun at specific writers for this, but i haven't looked into the patlabor episode writers enough to get it. still fun, though.
>>23904888>they must've been poking fun at specific writers for thisHow come?
>>23905042 it's about writing an episode of patlabor
>>23905079I think it's more at the expense of the characters, it reflects their own tastes and how they see the other SV2 members.Honestly excellent shit, and I'm surprised how well it worked for only being the second episode with this cast.In some ways I wish it was first since that one seemed kind of weak, but I understand wanting to start basic to both establish a baseline and get new viewers up to speed. And you kind of can't do lazy SV2 downtime as the absolute first thing just from a structural standpoint.>>23904244Sure as shit better than what we had to put up with for TNG back in the day, based on slop or not. Think you've done about as well as anyone not a proper translator could be expected to.So in-universe does this make him like a train guy or what.
>>23905307I don't even know how I managed to pick the wrong screenshot there.
>>23903649She's an absolute fucking menace, and I like her a lot. I think the Ota comparisons miss the mark because from what we've seen so far at least, she's an extremely proficient pilot and doesn't let her ADHD tendencies actually compromise her piloting or get in the way when she needs to lock in. Unit 1 has also lost zero heads with her at the controls so far.I want to see more of her dynamic with Kippei though, doesn't feel like we got a ton of them working together so far. My initial impression is that he's obviously the more sensible one, but he's also not someone that could manage her if she actually needed wrangling and not just prodding. They seem friendly and to work well enough together but I don't think we got enough to nail it down beyond that.
>>23905414I'm looking forward to File 2 for this reason, it looks like we'll get both an emotional and comedic episode centered around the two.
>>23903237toaster encode of the newer version pls
>>23905906don't have a newer one handy, but if you can hook me up with whatever you're talking about I can probably get something thrown together, thanks
>>23906098 oh i meant this >>23904246 sorry idunno if that's already the one in the encode
>>23906152ah, yeah derp, sorrythis version I'll leave the audio as-is instead of converting it to AAC, should be done in a bit
>>23906164https://archive.org/download/00ifukedurmom_20260518/patezep1v2.mp4dang the audio is fucking huge, about an extra 700 megs
>>23906219thanks mang
>>23906231no probhttps://archive.org/download/00ifukedurmom_20260518/ezy1v2lowmu.mp4still 5.1 but aac instead of xboxhueg audioI'm not very experienced with 5.1 so it's very possible I screwed something up bigtime but it's probably okay?
fuuuck i can't wait for file 2it's been a while since i enjoyed a mecha show this much
>>23907189same
Saw it at the theater on Saturday. All the seats were sold out, despite the fact that it's been screening for about a month, so seems like it's doing pretty well.Hopefully this means some producers will realize there's still an audience for this stuff
>>23907458I think the merch numbers matter more, sadly but that's still a good sign.
>>23906455>>23904246>>23904244Thanks guys, much appreciated!
>>23888564This is Ebikawa's design, right? Is he credited as a mech designer for EZY?
>>23907542Yeah, I believe Izubuchi thought his style would mesh well with his own
So what's the skinny on EZY? Is it like a cour, movies? Is it out yet?
>>23907704This is basically the rundown: EZY is 8 episodes long and will be released as compilation films, File 1 is the first three, File 2 is the second three, and File 3 will be the last two acting as a two parter. It's also releasing in Japan physically on blu ray discs, it's essentially an OVA. Originally, each episode would've been 50 minutes long, basically Gundam Unicorn but for Patlabor, but I believe something happened during production. Thanks to this though they have lots of scripts and plotlines in reserve, and Izubuchi has shown interest in doing more if EZY does well.
>>23907501>A literall succubus larps as a hot headed policeDamn, Izubuchi. You are a freak.
>>23907501>you will never have sex with a hot headed police woman in the cockpit of a mechIs life truly worth living?
>>23907873Marry a police that looks like that and do it in her duty car. Close enough.
>>23907901I once met in a chatroom a mature Filipina who was a police officer, she'd send me pictures in her uniform and posing with a Beretta.
I want Bandai to make kit for Helldiver, Pbandai or not. I already ordered the Moderoid one.
She has higher body count than the entire original cast combined. Let that sink in.
>>23907919They said this Helldiver was a body kit on a Dolphin trainer too, right?>>23907937She killed billions...
>>23905414>I think the Ota comparisons miss the mark because from what we've seen so far at least, she's an extremely proficient pilot and doesn't let her ADHD tendencies actually compromise her piloting or get in the way when she needs to lock in.No Ota is the second best pilot next to Noa. However he is abit of a corrupt cop as he likes to use reckless violence on the target. In one of the episode, he got framed for murder and almost everyone in town believed it because he has such a bad reputation.
>>23905414>>23907960Yeah, we also saw in one ep that Ota's retardedly good at marksmanship, it's just that he spergs out when dealing with actual suspects and hitting moving targets is surprisingly hard
>>23907960>>23907969He's not a bad pilot when he can keep his shit in check, but I don't think we're ever given reason to believe he's exceptional or anything. Beyond his marksmanship and ability to avoid shooting civilians anyway. That, and he's so bad at keeping his shit in check that it's actively compromising his ability to perform on the regular. He's a solid labor pilot in a vacuum but a bad patlabor pilot.
>>23907973>but I don't think we're ever given reason to believe he's exceptional or anything.Watch the third movie that has a big titty kaiju. Ohta only had one shot to neutralize the monster and he managed to get it done without fucking it up. He is legitimately talented, it is just his temper held him back from greatness.
>>23907985A moment or two where he shines doesn't outweigh the rest. That he could be better doesn't mean he's actually amazing and it's just a secret.
>>23907988>A moment or two where he shines doesn't outweigh the rest. That he could be better doesn't mean he's actually amazing and it's just a secret.It is not a secret, he is qualified for his job or else it wouldn't make sense why an incompetent fool keep doing the job he is not good at.
Kanuka is the worst Ingram pilot, but you are not ready for that conversation.
>>23908022What, you mean it isn't for the hijinks or laughs? Ota should have been fired for the pileup he created in the first episode of OVA1.When the amount of incompetence outweighs the the the amount of useful work done, it's a sheer joke why he's not replaced yet.
>>23908022At this point I don't even know what you're trying to argue. The vast majority of the time he's not shown being a great pilot. This is just fact unless you watched a very different show.They're able to make Schaft withdraw their SRX-70-for-data deal on their end by simply threatening to assign Ota to it.I am not talking about what he could hypothetically do if his personality flaws were erased, I am talking about his track record and demonstrated piloting.>>23908031He's personally responsible for most of SV2's awful reputation, too. Way beyond the natural collateral of being a labor unit.
>>23908031I mean, if sabotage and brutality are enough to get a police fired, it would be too unrealistic.
>>23908034>I am not talking about what he could hypothetically do if his personality flaws were erased, I am talking about his track record and demonstrated piloting.And his track record has many successes. The tv show and OVA are 100% comedy so you don't need think too hard about how a giant robot never kill people by accident or how they never fire Ohta. His team trusted him enough to send him to difficult operations like in Movie 2 and 3 along with Noa. You would think this dude should be excluded from the darker, more serious storylines but nope, he is here to stay.
Let's be real here, 100% of real life polices behave exactly like Ohta, except they actually kill people.
>>23908056Yes, therefore we should excuse Ota because more officers in real life get away with actual brutality, murders, planting evidence, etc because at heart Ota never meant to do any of those things willingly, he just has anger and self-control issues
>>23908054Excuse me, the cited storyline about SV2 unit 1 trying to square their material needs for their job with the compromise of their ethics as police demanded to meet them was 100% comedy?Hell in movie 2 he repeatedly fucks up in the tunnel fight by ignoring orders, charging ahead and not thinking things through.Reminder that we got here because you disliked that I implied Towa's a better pilot based on what we've seen.
>>23908056omg ikr acab sis
>>23908034Across the series Ohta has a pretty good track record of labor neutralization outside of training matches. His marksmanship is the best too. His main drawback is his temper, but when he gets results it's massively to the benefit of the team, like Griffon incident, fighting off hoards of labors on the ark, taking down the IXTLs etc.
>>23908072>Hell in movie 2 he repeatedly fucks up in the tunnel fight by ignoring orders, charging ahead and not thinking things through.That was the only thing they could do lol. Even Noa agreed and followed him.
>>23907937The *entire* cast? At least Shinshi had kids, right?
>>23908072>SV2 unit 1 trying to square their material needs for their job with the compromise of their ethics as police demanded to meet them was 100% comedyI mean yeah it is. Crashing out because you are afraid of ghost or fantasizing about your glorified police car being a super robot is just so unprofessional, if you want to remove Ohta's flaws then you have to remove every other character's flaws, too.
>>23908085Towa probably fucks random guys extremely often and this is not the only time she does it. She even licked her lips in the scene.
>>23908089That's in character for female cops so honestly kinda hot
>>23908079If you choose to ignore everything else he fucks up in that scene, sure.It's a little outside of scope here but agreeing with his decision and following him in the charge aren't really the same thing. He basically forced the issue and at that point you either follow him and hope he's right or leave him to get shredded. There was no time pressure so severe it was preventing him from taking an extra ten seconds to suggest it to and get agreement from the other lives he was risking by doing that.He's not the leader of the element in that situation, nor is he even giving basic warning to everyone else involved, let alone deferring to leadership. If you want to just talk about his performance in a 'serious' scene and hold it up to serious standards then yeah, he's a fucking liability. And don't try and tell me that's unintentional in a movie with the most autistically accurate ground-controlled intercept in cinema.
>>23908096>If you choose to ignore everything else he fucks up in that scene, sure.The drones were blasting everything in that tunnel and shooting the cables didn't help. They were like " Ohta, do your thing " even. He popped up in the show all the time, how could you even watch it if you couldn't stand him?
Jumpscare. Do not open.
>>23908085>>23908093The apex predator
>>23908100>Ohta, do your thingAnd he fucks that up too, because he did a terrible job of actually disabling the machines once he was in CQB with them. His failure to disarm the second one and instead pointing the cannon at the ceiling is the reason the tunnel floods.He damages one and assumes it's destroyed, then runs over to tackle the other and immediately shouts for Noa to come bail him out.>how could you even watch it if you couldn't stand him?I didn't say I can't stand him. Why would you assume that?I'm just pointing out how he was always characterised, a decent pilot but absolutely terrible at keeping his shit together to the point it undermines any technical skill he might have. This is consistent through the OVAs, shows, movies and now EZY too.
Damn she sucked him dry
>Izubuchi made sure Mamoru Oshii never calls him ever again
>>23907937Not saying much when none of the original cast killed anybody.
>>23908159Oh you are just so innocent, anon.
>>23908121blue destiny looking motherfucker
>>23908169It is a Helldiver with a goggle. The scene is a parody of Mamoru Oshii's Kerberos film.
>>23907946Both Helldiver and Dolphin are different variants of Ingram.
>>23908159Technically Noa indirectly kills someone in the manga by shooting out the riot gun and hitting a Chimera instead of the Griffon, leading to the bomb it was carrying to blow up
>Ota is raked over coals for being too violent >Noa is responsible for 100% of SV2's actual killings Hm
>>23908159>>23908185Brother in christ, "body count" is a slang for the amount of people you had sex with.
>>23908188Pretty sure both Ohta and Noa had to take down some dangerous criminals offscreen. For the gang's sex life, extremely non-existent except Shinshi.
>>23908193 Do not need to bring offscreen haki into Patlabor discussions.
>>23908173I'm aware of that, but the show specifically referred to some of the custom labors in use for the film being shot as being built atop Dolphins.I'm just saying I wasn't sure if that extended to the 'Helldiver' being a body kit on one or if it's a real ARL-99 on loan.It's pretty common to do stuff like that for films, so either is plausible.
>>23908199The twitter account confirms it is the original Helldiver with Ingram innerframe.
>>23908199 are ingram-spec machines basically openly available for public purchase? that's a little scary to think about
>>23908216An Ingram without the people to pilot and maintain an Ingram probably isn't that big an issue in the end. We'll see of course with the rest of EZY but I suspect they never really reached the point that mass market machines compared to high end second gen units. For most use cases you don't really need a machine so capable and with that capability comes price and complexity.Remember, TV timeline at least, SHI gave up on the concept of a budget Ingram entirely to instead make a better high end unit for current users.Aviation might be a good comparison. You can legally own some disarmed fighter jets, but the risk of anyone actually doing so, or the people that do trying to do something nefarious with it, are pretty low. Modern small operator and hobby planes have been borderline identical in capability for over half a century, because going more capable means going to a complexity beyond what makes sense for those users, in exchange for capabilities they probably won't really need anyway.
>>23908216I don't think it is that easy. The movie director has millions of dollars in his hands, reallistically, so buying a Helldiver is not a big issue for him. The average 9-5 citizen are not that wealthy.
>>23907501is this yuri?
>>23908231I'm like 99% sure that a Helldiver wouldn't be on the civilian market to begin with, it's probably on loan from the JGSDF.>>23908236I'm not sure, I didn't catch his name.
>>23908236No, it's yaoi
>>23908239They permanently destroyed a Helldiver for the action scene so i believe it is not a loan.
>>23908241That wasn't exactly following the script, though. That was the director having a homicidal moment.
>>23908216The Saturn and the Economy Mark II are both labors able to be purchased by civilians, both are also considered to be in the Ingram's weight class in performance. Oddly enough the Crabman High Leg Type could be considered around the same weight class, having a surprising amount of fighting capability that challenges Japan's own export laws because of it
>>23908243Or he probably bought a blank Ingram frame and then made a prop Helldiver out of it.
>>23908110>>23908120I wanna ask, how is everyone getting HQ clips of the movie? Is this the exact same deal as Code Geass Rozè or Be Forever Yamato where each movie is actually a compilation of episodes also available in an online streaming service, is that it?
>>23908264The BD was ripped a few weeks ago now.And the 'movie' is essentially three OVA episodes. I don't know if they plan on releasing them separately later or something, but for now it's formatted as three discrete segments with their own title cards, but only the one OP and ED.
>>23908265Wait, so the theatrical release and BD release gap is plain nonexistent?
>>23908267Yes, because they're treating it as a classic OVA release with a bonus theatrical run rather than films.
>>23908239Both the Helldiver and the kaiju mech are owned by Shinohara's visual effect subsidiary. It is a way to exploit legal loophole i guess. https://x.com/patlabor0810/status/2066445613085188108
I can't help but wonder if the 3rd episode about film shooting was a cheeky dig at Oshii and his Patlabor TNG. Beanie director guy seems like a stand in for Izubuchi/rest of Headgear.
>>23908078>His main drawback is his temper, but when he gets results it's massively to the benefit of the teamYeah I think this is a good way of putting it, and this is coming from someone who used to find no value in him at allAlthough we might have been better off if we kept Shinshi in unit 2, but let's not worry about that
>>23908508Watch the after credit. This character is literally not-Oshii and he was directing not-Kerberos film.
>>23908241Did they? The head came off clean like it was supposed to do that for rescue purposes. And it's not like you can't overhaul a jet fighter after a botched ejection or something else severe.
>>23908609The burning kaiju prop and the Helldiver became unsalvagable scrap in the ending scene.
>>23908508It is a jab at Mamoru Oshii's venture into tokusatsu in the 90s. He directed a scifi thriller film called Akai Megane in the late 80s, and then the high budgeted, action packed prequel film of Akai Megane called Kerberos: Jigoku no Banken in the 1991.
>>23897726You should get all the ingrams
>>23908730>Get all Ingrams>No Magnum kitWhy even live?!
>>23897726Is there a kit that includes the flatbed truck?
>>23897726>what is the best AV-98 Ingram you can get nowadays?That's actually a good question but idk the answer
>>23908739Moderoid made a standalone kit for it.
>>23897726>what is the best AV-98 Ingram you can get nowadaysArtpla.
>>23908750They made the statue kits of those bullet proof Ingram. Pretty nice.
>>23908745The OVA1 design with a flat bed and restraining bars under the arm always looked so underbaked to me. I'm glad EZY is keeping the TV-style labor carriers.
>>23908222 >SHI gave up on the concept of a budget Ingram entirely to instead make a better high end unit for current users oh fuck, shinohara is harley-davidson
>>23908112>This is consistent through the OVAs, shows, movies and now EZY too.>EZYHe was doing a dangerous stunt as a 60 years old grandpa. That's actually pretty good.
The Rune Masquer thingy is a reskinned Dolphinhttps://x.com/patlabor0810/status/2066807999856062566
>>23908999I thought Izubuchi lost his touch due to Metallic Rogue, but EZY proved me wrong. This man should produce more anime until his inevitable death.
>>23794134You're a lucky guy
>>23796369>>Griffon gets a shitty low-budget game and probably has to fight over screentime if the Movie 1-like screenshots say anythingGood. Griffon was such a joke, being piloted by a Pajeet child and got blown up. Type Zero is a much more intimidating big boss in comparison.
>>23906455>>23904244Just watched EZY, thanks again guys. Holy shit I haven't had this much fun in weeks, I had the biggest dumb smile on my face when everyone was finishing Towa's story in the daily log and and when Ota and Shinshi showed up again!!! God damn I hope this does gangbusters. Really reminded me of why I love mecha in the first place.
>>23909663Retired Ohta becoming a stuntman is sweet to think about. I want to see where are the rest of the gang.
Should I peek at the new thing or just wait until I've finished the rest?Oh I can't wait!
I honestly expected to loathe the new characters and really miss the old crew. I still miss the old crew of course but the new roster seems pretty good.The returning cast was great. I do hope we get to see Noa again, seems likely considering the focus on the Alphonse model kit. Considering her sentiment on wanting to be more than "that girl that likes labors" I wonder if she'll be retired from anything labor related, but roped back in somehow and re-discover her love for them. I worry they'll just make "horny" a defining character trait for Towa in the future like so much anime/manga have for similar characters, but so far I think she has been cute and great. I liked how Noas sexuality was handled compared to 99% of anime, part of what makes her one of my favorite characters of all time.
>>23909860Yeah, the new crew is great. I really like Saeki, IMO she was great filling out the 'gotoh' role but in a different way, 'kindly mom who's much smarter than you'd think at first glance.' I'd definitely be just fine with a series as long as the original TV run with these folks. My only complaint is that the OP and ED seem generic, they were *okay* but they seemed like they could be from any other anime rather than capturing the distinctive Patlabor feel I thought Sono Mama did.
>>23909860Towa seems to be an energetic yet hard to control kind of character, so her horniness might be more of a side effect of that. Making the poster girl the problem child of the group is a fun decision
>>23909860>I worry they'll just make "horny" a defining character trait for Towa in the future like so much anime/manga have for similar characters, but so far I think she has been cute and great.Towa's horniness actually outclasses other popular waifus because she actually succumbs to her lust.
>>23909892You are trying abit too hard to explain why an adult woman with a job actually have sex. It gives her character complexity because the type of loud mouthed, hot headed tomboy character can be abit boring without extra spice on top.
>>23909871Yeah, Saeki was a highlight. Real "not mad, just disappointed" energy at times lol. Really good character design too, really has that mid 30s working woman look.>My only complaint is that the OP and ED seem genericMusic wise, I agree. Animation wise, the old OPs and EDs weren't super iconic or over the top either. The TV OP especially was a lot of characters on blank background with credits.>>23909892I just hope they lean in to that more than SEXXO!!! to sell figures. The main character being the goblin of the group is great.>>23909912Just the once so far. We'll see in file 2 I guess.
>>23909917I figured my observation was a pretty basic one to be honest
>>23909929Music was what I meant yeah. The op animation itself was nice, I liked the VR parts.
>>23909929>Just the once so far.The actor dude actually fell asleep afterwards while Towa remained awake and active so it is a safe bet that she is the more experienced and has actual sexual prowess. Absolutely not a virgin.
>>23909860Given it's explicitly in the context of a celebrity crush and I'm reasonably sure that, memes aside, we aren't really meant to assume they actually banged in the middle of an unfolding disaster I wouldn't worry too much.That being said I'm also reasonably sure an HR violation or two took place in that cockpit.It's also a callback to both the idol that developed a crush on Noa and the little prince kid that she had to share the cockpit with, and deliberately kind of an inversion of both. Without just putting her directly into a recreation of a situation from the original show it's a good way to demonstrate how she's very different from her predecessor.In general I think Patlabor's always been very good at leveraging the fact it's SoL-heavy with a cast of adults without it ever feeling gratuitous. I always loved the detail of Noa being by far the best at holding her liquor, you'd never pick her for it without knowing her background and it's not treated as a 'the small cute one does something you don't expect' type punchline.
>>23910116I don't think so. She licked her lips sexually before banging the guy. And keep in mind, this is the tv show timeline of Patlabor, she will get away with whatever the catastrophe she unleashes.
>>23910116I had forgotten about that little prince kid, thanks for the reminder. I was just talking about this, I really like how the show seems so reminiscent of the original while still doing its own thing, it's a tough line to walk but the writers did a great job in this attempt.
>>23910116>we aren't really meant to assume they actually banged in the middle of an unfolding disaster I wouldn't worry too much.They definitely fucked, otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen asleep on Towa's lap. Cumming makes you tired af.
>the fucking recreation of stray dog's trailerThis was so worth the wait, it looked amazing too. The models are so detailed and they show off all the cool mechanical bits. I hope there's an episode dedicated to Megumi's character. Can't decide which episode I liked best.
>>23910979Mamoru Oshii wanting to murder his own actors is something i believe.
>>23910983He's a waifufag, he'd never.
>>23910979I loved that part! I'd honestly love to hear a full version of the trailer song (it kicks in at about 1:11:07), it was a banger.
>>23910998Wait fuck me, I'm retarded, it was literally the Kerberos panzer cop theme lmfao.
>>23910116>In general I think Patlabor's always been very good at leveraging the fact it's SoL-heavy with a cast of adults without it ever feeling gratuitous. For adults does not mean it has to be super depressing or unecessary violent. Small details like Ohta saluting Kanuka upon her departure or how Asuma tries to hide the fact that he is the real inheritor of Shinohara but decided to be a police instead are things adults would do, the respect for your colleague and the descision to be your own person instead of living in your father's shadow. The consumption of booze or having sex in the cockpit are superficial at best.
>>23911245I do agree, but those just made me think about how things are typically handled the rest of the time.Asuma's a great example because instead of making his trauma into his personality, they tried to make it inform who he is. Not just his career path but how standoffish he is with most people, why he gets a bit overprotective of Noa at times, how that turns into snapping the other way when she seriously presses the wrong button once or twice, I could go on.Point is when they finally explain why it feels like a very logical recontextualisation rather than someone retconning in a tragic backstory seasons into a production. It's also just a neat bit of character writing that the vulnerability he shows by opening up to Noa about it is itself a sign that he's trying to overcome some of the worse tendencies of his it probably contributed to.EZY doesn't have the same runtime TV did to go so in-depth but there's probably a lot of stuff they could touch on around how being a young adult is different today to 40 years ago, as is the general feeling towards technology and the future. I think EZY ending an episode with 'but in ten years, who knows?' would come off more like a threat than a call for optimism today.
>>23911282Asuma is just like his dad, no matter how hard he tries to change and deny it. A genius who is unfortunately tonedeaf and hurts the feeling of the people he cares about.
>>23911315Across the series he gets better in that regard. Later down the line he shifts from finding Noa's personality to be less naive and foolishly optimistic to indulging in her outlook. He was already somewhat attentive, though when it came to Noa specifically, he really did want to push her to advance a career in something she truly did care about. He would always be the one person to try and pull her out of slump when she felt demotivated. Noa's affect on him also is more on the emotional side. She came from a life where both her parents were present and were able to shower her with love and care, and is at first in disbelief Asuma can barely even face his father. Seeing as the topic is far too sensitive, she allows him to open up about it on his own terms—when HE feels comfortable. I could go on and on about it because I do like talking about these characters a lot, but I'd be going on forever
