I prefer Movie 2 since it's some of Oshii's best, and I'm just a sucker for Gotoh. And stuff like this is just cool as all hell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dmlwhaEEgE Of the few anime that have tackled terrorism I feel like Patlabor 2 did it perfectly. Anyone disappointed with Terror in Resonance should absolutely check it out. Movie 1 is still good though, just feels like a movie-length tv episode. Not that there's anything wrong with that of course, since the cast is excellent.

Mecha Gojira posted:For a while I would have said 1 over 2, but as time went on and kept rewatching them, I'd have to give the edge to 2 myself. It's a better standalone film. But part of the reason I love the franchise so much is because I love the whole cast of Division 2, which is why 1 held the edge for me for the longest time. Movie 2 is definitely a Gotoh movie first and foremost. Yeah just going from the original OVA to the two movies is solid gold and the best way to jump into the show. I dig the tv series too even though it's not quite as amazing as those, but that's a high bar and there are still plenty of fun episodes. The cast really carries it and some of my favorite episodes are more about the non-criminal problems, like when everyone is arguing with each other so Gotoh takes them out drinking in an attempt to make them get along.

Mecha Gojira posted:Yutaka Izubuchi is one of my all-time favorite mecha designers. Not only are his Patlabor designs great, the stuff he did for Gundam is some of the best in the franchise. And not to mention that they were both 80s mecha shows. Not a whole lot of variety there. I think the most successful simulwatches would usually be the ones that paired two wildly different shows, and for a good reason (It especially helped when an old show and a new show were both part, I think).

Sakurazuka posted:Oshii was so good at these type of sequences that somewhere along the way he decided his films should be nothing but them. Yeaaaah. People mainly know him by that reputation these days so it's fun to blow someone's mind by showing that he used to be a very good comedy director.

Yeah. He used to get a nice balance with that stuff though! I guess maybe the live action Patlabor he's directing probably has some comedy in it, shame that the episode 00 was the only one that got fansubbed though the guy said he'd eventually sub it all if nobody else does.

psyer posted:Has anyone tried the live action ver. of this? The only part of the live action series that has been fansubbed is the episode 00 and it's more of a fanservice-y episode than anything else. You just see Shige as an old man (played by the guy who voiced him!) and he talks about continuity stuffs and what happened to the original cast and etc etc etc. Nothing that would help judge the quality of the full product. The guy who fansubbed it said he might sub the rest if nobody else does, but that was like half a year ago.

The episode 0 was fansubbed and the guy who did it said he'd get to the entire series eventually if nobody picks it up in the meantime. So at the very least we know it will have subs sometime in the (probably far) future.

Yeah it was not good, it was some dumb fanservice fluff that didn't even introduce the new cast. I'd really like to see the first proper episode before making a judgement call though.

Nate RFB posted:Back when there was that largely unsuccessful Patlabor simulwatch, I remember seeing some Blu-ray rips of the TV series starting to make the rounds that looked incredible. But at least back then none were subtitled; did that ever get completed in any sort of fashion? They did, and because those old dvds look like rear end the difference is incredible
