We know the firefighter's name. That means he's important. We know there's something up with the fire's spread, and the dude's wearing a mask. Evil! Or at least, our antagonist for the episode!

Most of SV2 is some level of competent.

lol Shinobu wanted the weird trophy thing. Good episode. I'm sorry, I was wrong about you, noble firefighter guy.

SV2 does not seem remotely equipped to handle what looks for all the world like a heavy millitary labor.

Done with Episode 5. That was good. Fight with the X-10 was really entertaining. I liked the bit at the end. "Hey captain, weren't we supposed to destroy the X-10 and deny all involvement." "Yeah, but eh. Besides, none of our weapons can actually hurt it anyway. :v:"

And done with 6. Good couple of episodes - I always prefer it when Patlabor focuses on more 'realistic' incidents like these.

Ota's incompetence is finally useful! I wonder if that "terrorist" labor was set up by Shaft specifically to get combat data into the prototype labor :tinfoil:

I'm starting 8 now.

Ota saves the day twice. Weird. 7 was good, but it was a bit much that all of Div 2 knew something was up. Nice getting a Shinobu episode. 8 was the weakest so far, though it had some good silly moments: the Italian labor, the pink labor, Hiromi-chan (the larger) in general. It was nice to see Div 2 accomplishing something without loving it all up. The tree's going to die, though, they ripped out its roots.

As many others have said, it's nice to get a Shinobu-centric episode with 7. It's also nice that Division 1 actually exists in the TV continuity at all, even if they're not the most important characters.
One thing that may not be immediately obvious is that episode 7 is actually the start of two different recurring plot threads. Can you figure out what they are?

I will agree that episode 8 is the weakest episode so far, even if it has some good gags and I love how silly the recreational labors are. If you didn't like it much though, be at ease because I'd call it the weakest episode in the show, unless I'm forgetting something.

Is the labor with the sign on the front that honks a lot the closest I'm getting to seeing a bosozoku labor?
