Cry about it.

It really is. First EZY and now I just heard of the new Patlabor game too. Lotta good stuff for Labor fans this year if nothing else.

For its faults, that first monster scene in WXIII at the storage facility can go toe-to-toe with any of the classics

Troll post.

What faults?

WXIII is actually a very decently made monsterflick. It was made about a decade after original saga had already ended. If people tempered their expectations a bit before watching, then it would be liked more.

Hope the movie flops

This, speedwatchers are just being retarded again.

It's a weird tonal shift and wasn't marketed as a side-story so attaching the Patlabor name feels like a weird bait-and-switch especially as iirc the actual protagonists barely achieve an impact on the story's events and then SV2 swoop in near the end and do the climax for them, as a story it's messy, as a mood piece, gorgeous

sidenote on the quality of the animation - the person lipreading the videotape for them being a black deaf woman is a great, granular bit of observation by the animators, I can totally believe a job that specialist would be the sort they'd be more likely to need to grant to a foreigner to fill, I love when animators display the intelligence/real-world experience to work in such subtleties, what unappreciated refinement

What makes it even stranger is that it's adapting an arc of the manga where Noa and Asuma ARE the main characters. It's a truly bizarre endeavour, I can't really think of anything else that does something similar within an established franchise.
Arguably the reason that Patlabor can pull its trick of being all genres whenever the hell it feels like is that it's anchored in such an incredibly well realised core cast that you're happy to watch them do pretty much anything. Chucking away that common anchoring point is a tough sell regardless of the standalone merits of the project.

>weird tonal shift
How? It's perfectly fit alongside what 1 and 2 built upon.
>wasn't marketed as a side-story so attaching the Patlabor name feels like a weird bait-and-switch
It's Patlabor, a vehicle to tell military otaku stories, not the avengers.

I get the complaints but I don't agree with any of them, the magic of anime is that it's so detached from Hollywood's predatory practices and studio bullshit (at least it was 30 years ago) so trying to make sense of why something didn't happen the way you think it should've happened and framing it as a 'flaw' seems a bit immature.

Anon how the flying fuck did you somehow bring Marvel movies into this?

I remember there being some news about an older lady calling the cops on this

my two cents is that the movies are really good in a vacuum but they might as well not have been called patlabor.

Why do the legs look like that?
Is it some sort of soft plastic?

but no oshii?

>>23802881
It's a soft vinyl kit, you need to heat up the parts and jam the large flared areas into the sockets for assembly

is there an english translation of the manga that doesn't read left to right?
