how would that work for patlabor, though? there would be a revolver, a shotgun and the ammo. patlabors are never more heavily armed than that and even the shotgun is used sparingly.

arc doesn't follow from any of the ovas but even the basic premise is heavily dependent on what happened at the end of the getter robo go manga. so, some setup is required. i'm just surprised they are going through that much effort since, you know, getter continuity. however, an extended flashback allows ryouma to show up when otherwise he'd be entirely absent.

That made me realize that I genuinely can't remember what the main singer lady's deal was. I remember it was a mystery, she was an enigmatic character, but I straight up have zero memory of what was eventually revealed about her. And seeing her as a weird cyber lady in that promo jogs no memories.

What's to get? It's a boy solving crime with his best friend, who happens to be a giant robot.

i'm used to there being even a flimsy, lazy excuse for why a kid has to go on dangerous adventures. usually it is a secret and/or the kid is special in some way. in j-decker it is just some random mundane kid that every single adult decided should go hang around fights between robots and madmen for no particular reason. he almost dies almost every episode!

i know it is wish fulfillment in a children's show but it all seems so deranged.

He's the impetus for Deckerd becoming sentient and he showed both incredible bravery and good situational awareness before he was made a police officer. Seems good enough for a kid's show to me.

that'd be a good reason for them to remain friends and spend time together. you could make a show out of that premise, easy. instead they let a small child be in charge. it's a children's super robot show, but it simply goes too far for suspension of disbelief. this just isn't for me.

it's more that there isn't a culture or reason around the reckless child endangerment. it's just this one perfectly normal boy that everyone has decided to use as the obvious glowing weak point for the hero robot squad. there were a lot of opportunities in the first few episodes to make the kid somehow irreplaceable to the entire process but instead it was always a deliberate choice to include him. at any point they could replace him with an adult or even leave the robots to act autonomously, but instead they let the bratty child arrest people.

mamoru in ggg was pretty annoying a lot of the time, but at least he had a reason to be there!

making it a patlabor film removes any teeth it might have had. it is two cops investigating a giant monster, and oh no! regular cops can't do anything about giant monsters. but oh right it is patlabor so you can just call in the police mecha unit to handle that sort of thing. problem solved!

i think i could have accepted all the other problems if they hadn't ditched the tactical jetpack idol concert concept. oh, so it isn't practical while a bunch of fashy bishies were trying to kill them, so what? who gives a poo poo about practicality in a show about the inherent space magic of idols?
