>>23791385 >AV-X0 gets a new anime >Griffon gets a shitty low-budget game and probably has to fight over screentime if the Movie 1-like screenshots say anything Why do they hate the TV continuity so much?
>>23796369They hate TV continuity so much that they are releasing a new anime that follows it.
>>23796372IN THE MOVIE CONTINUITY!!!!
>>23799672 Why did they make his feet so small?
>>23786853Well this means the show will suck.
Happy 60th birthday, Miina Tominaga
>>23803444 what what do you mean she's 60 that's nuts also nice trips
>>23803444Still would.
>>23803444>fantasy of kittenwhat the fuck is that name for 綿の国星, the star of cottonland?
>>23803539 That's apparently the localized name on a couple of places.
>>23787545 >australia huh why isn't this on any of their other channels
>>23799672that neck looks creepy mang
>>23803444 I'm surprised Patlabor is her only mecha gig.

>>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
>>23809021>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=550SBw10FWMit's been privated?

>>23787545The song is great but most of the intro isn't, so much of it is just sliding profiles of the human characters
>>23788720How many years has that been his age?
>>23833003Why is she about to shoot Alphonse's elbow?
>>23833674 the sliding profiles look cool, though.
>>23786853Animation looks pretty dated.
>>23833003Alphonse looks kinda gangsta there.
>>23822082Can't find any English-language information on that one.
>>23848227It's rather obscure OVA.

>>23833674the profiles are a little hokey after a few dozen episodes, but you can't deny that starting sequence of everyone in the station followed by Noa on the highway is great cinematography.

Anyone else dismayed by all the CG? Would it have been too much to ask for them to at least rotoscope that junk?

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.

>>23878538Those things shoot 37mm shells, right? Was the length of the propellant casing ever published?
>>23883268Apparently not.
>>23878445Is she referencing the Z flag?
>>23886440Bot post.
>>23886454just because you don't like something doesnt mean you can call it a bot post
>>23850931exactly what you expect for something that was only released on LD and VHS 23 years ago
>>23887018Technically he can (and did). Doesn't make him any less obnoxious than the alleged bot posters, though.
