Product Description
Those who demand a single epic tale, mass destruction and fast paced stories may find it hard to love this series, since much of the story is low scale and steady of pace. Those with a bent for the dramatic, engaging characters, dry humor and offbeat episodic stories should find patlabor quite unlike the mainstream of anime. Also note that this review covers the second OAV series and the TV episodes since the OAV is considered as an extension of (interleaved into) the TV series. The animation is good for a TV series, the design consistent and believable and the voices wonderful on the ears (especially the laconic Goto). This series also contains the best selection of mature characters, Sakaki, Nagumo and the impressively weird Goto (and his equally weird nemesis Utsumi) are really fun to watch. Bonus points for some of the most complete, competent, female characters (Kanuka Clancy, Nagumo Shinobu and Takeo Kumagami) and the least romantic (but what a friend!) woman of all times Noa Izumi.
