Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor
In the future, rapidly advancing technology gives birth to giant robots known as "Labors," so named for their usefulness in heavy industry. However, this also gives rise to "Labor crimes," resulting the need for a new branch of law enforcement equipped with and dedicated to the policing of Labors. When Izumi Noa, a female police officer, becomes the newest recruit of Special Vehicles Division 2, she and her top of the line "Patrol Labor" (or "Patlabor") Alphonse are swept into a series of adventures featuring crazed construction workers, eco-terrorists, and sea monsters.

Read full review on AniList →In the shadow of much more popular mecha franchises such as _Gundam_ and _Macross_, and even eclipsed by its own movies and later TV adaptation, this OVA is likely to fly under most people's radar. It shouldn't. If you're looking for something bite-sized, entirely enjoyable, and dotted with hints of…
Read full review on AniList →I enjoy Patlabor's take on the mecha genre. It adds in a number of little details that give it a living a breathing feel. The focus on the mechs as a real machine that takes time consuming maintainace, the way Oshii treats time, the characters, how they interact with the world and how it lets you kn…

I mostly watched this because I heard the 2nd movie is really good and this comes before it in the watch order. Being only 7 episodes, it was definitely worth watching for this purpose and left me wanting to watch more Patlabor. That…
