The Patlabor movies really nail that 80’s and 90’s techno-machinery obsession. They made the future (or alternative present) really seem possible.
@Palora0110 күн бұрын
Well, yes and no. Their future / alternative present is, as is always the case, quite retro compared to our reality. - Large bulky flip phones. - Car phones. - Laser guided missiles that require constant lock on their gunships. (Apaches have had fire and forget hellfire missiles for decades now) - Outdated tanks. (the Type 90 tank shown is inferior to the Type 10 that Japan already posses and would likely deploy to defend Tokyo) - Small caliber auto-cannons on their gunships. (That rotary cannon seems to be shooting something smaller than even 20mm on the Cobra Gunship. Apaches have 30mm, IFV's are going up to 40mm) Ofc that's less of an issue for the year 2002 that the story is set in :D

This is clearly among my top-5 best anime movies ever. It’s kinda surprising that a theoretically lighthearted franchise such as Patlabor could be used for a dark, deep and complex film like this.

Is Patlabor 2 pretty standalone or do you need to watch the anime/first movie to understand whats happening?

No. Totally useless in current warfare. Obsolete as CAS itself especially in form of helicopter Just remember that drones can hunt helicopters. Stingers and other AA weapons are also very deadly, and lets not forget about simplest AA guns like ZU-23, S-60 and even guns like Rh202 (Marder) or 40mm bofors (CV9040) can effectively destroy helicopters on a very close range (up to 4 or even more km sometimes). Use of guided bombs and other high precision munition out of radius or at least at maximal radius of enemy air defence is much more practical.

@jasonalbert625119 күн бұрын
Patlabor 2 is unique in the Patlabor franchise. Most of Patlabor is light-hearted early mecha anime, and Patlabor 2 stepped away from that to be a political thriller. All of Patlabor is worth watching, but you can watch Patlabor 2 on its own. Aside from a few references to the first film, it’s a standalone film.
