 The story takes place in the distant future of 1999.
 Manual labor is aided by Labors, huge exoskeletons.
 Tokyo is undergoing a huge project, where old suburbs are demolished and artificial island are created on the coast.
 Some Labors are going berserk, destroying everything on their paths despite being unmanned.

+:END:
+Ok, this one is a difficult movie to write about.
+For a /gajin/ it may come as a visually beautiful, but very convoluted movie.
+But deep inside, it's deeply rooted in Japan's history and one needs to understand a few facts before truly appreciating it.
+So, before talking about the movie, allow me to take a brief jump into history territory.
+
+#+attr_shortcode: 5 "patlabor-2-movie.jpg"

+#+end_rating
+After loosing World War II, Japan was under the USA's occupation.
+Their new constitution has a very important "Article 9" under which Japan was allowed to have defense military force, but it was to be never deployed on foreign soil.
+After few changes, the defense force became Japanese Self-Defense Force, the /JSDF/.
+Decades pass and the population kind of forgot about the WWII.
+Mind you, Nagasaki and Hiroshima lives in their mindset, but war becomes something that was in the past.
+In June 1992, the National Diet passed a UN Peacekeeping Cooperation Law which permitted the JSDF to participate in UN medicalonal Diet passed a UN Peacekeeping Cooperation Law which permitted the JSDF to participate in UN medical, refugee repatriation, logistical support, infrastructural reconstruction, election-monitoring, and policing operations under strictly limited conditions[fn:wiki].
+
+Amongst part of Japanese population it was seen as a dangerous precedence.
+JSDF was, in fact, deployed on foreign soil.
+Both creators of /Patlbor/, Mamoru Oshii and Kazunori Itō were vocal opponents of this decision.
+/Patlabor 2: The Movie/ should be seen as their open letter.
+
+So, knowing this I have to say: /Patlabor 2: The Movie/ is amongst the greatest movies I've ever seen.
+I always say that for me, SciFi for SciFi sake is boring; it can elevate by using the setting as a mean to tell a human story.
+I also like SciFi movies that are not action-fests.
+And for both of those measures /Patlabor 2: The Movie/ *excels* all expectations.
+
+It is also a huge step-up fromr /Patlabor: The Movie/.
+While that had huge potential, but came out lacking in both, substance and form, the /2/ is a gigantic step.
+It's only 4 years between release dates, but I am floored.
+
+Ok, back to the movie itself.
+It's 2002, 3 years after the events of /Patlabor: The Movie/.
+Yokohama Bay Bridge is destroyed by a missile shot from a variation of F-16 Fighter.
+JASDF (Japan Air Self-Defense Force)  is blamed for the attack, and a result JSDF is ready to deploy forces all over Tokyo.
+
+One thing to get straight of the way: there's not much of Patlabors here to be seen.
+I think there are more shots of fighters and tanks, than it is of the mechs.
+This /not/ a mecha anime even though it is set in a mecha world.
+It's also not an action movie, as most of the scenes is two/three people talking.
+/P2TM/ requires significant attention, as it's all about those dialogues.
+The message is more said than shown.
+The presentation may be not to your liking.
+Anime is mostly known for imaginative fight scenes and fan service.
+This not that kind of movie.
+It's slow and methodical.
+
+But there are action scenes, and they are glorious.
+/PTM/ was looking great; /P2TM/ sets incredible standards that are often unmatched even today.
+I found it interesting, as the first portion of the movie uses very small color palette - everything is overblown, like in full sun, or light by fluorescent lamp.
+People look more like cyborgs than living things.
+Then, when authors start conveying their message, it all changes - the palette broadens and characters even get some tam.
+Subtle and effective.
+The city look incredible, the machines look amazing and characters no longer have perspective problems (like they had in /PTM/).
+Overall, the presentation is perfect, but unfortunately the style here seems mostly abandoned.
+It's /distinctly/ Oshii and /Production IG/.
+
+We've even got quite a few scenes that are directly quotes in /Ghost in the Shell/.
+And there's even a Basset!
+We will this dog in a lot his future movies.
+
+The only nitpick I can find when it comes to the visual aspect is that in a few scenes the snow looks bad.
+That's all.
+
+The music is great.
+It's not /Ghost in the Shell/ but Kenji Kawaii is a master of his craft.
+
+The only negative I can find is the main villain.
+He is absent from most of his movies and his motivations are hidden until the very last few scenes.
+His work is ever-present, but he is not here.
+Which is fitting.
+Oshii said that the "evil" character here is himself.
+Everything the villain say is what the director thinks.
+It's much better handled than in /PTM/.
+There the motivations were never developed, but seemed to be the point.
+In this movie his motivations are clear by the end, but they are not what it's about.
+What we see (the militia, the ineffectiveness of civil overseers) is what authors convey.
+
+This mecha-anime is a very strong anti-war manifest.
+It dares to put a mirror in front of our faces.
+Everything we have is because of some war, yet we do everything in our power to never think about it.
+Now, I live in Poland and the war seem more real that it was for my entire lifetime, but we still pretend that it's impossible.
+
+/Patlabor 2: The Movie/ is a masterpiece.
+Oshii is one of the most brilliant directors in history, and this movie is one of his magnum opuses[fn:osh].
+It's not only something *every* fan of anime should watch but everyone who enjoys cinematography.
+It's smart, beautiful and haunting.
+I fail to find a real flaw.
+
+[fn:wiki] Source: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Self-Defense_Forces#Peacekeeping][Wikipedia]]
+[fn:osh] How many directors have achiever greatness on a few occasions?
+Oshii certainly did!

+Their new constitution has a very important "Article 9" under which Japan was allowed to have defense military force, but it was to be never deployed on foreign soil.
+After few changes, the defense force became Japanese Self-Defense Force, the _JSDF_.
+Decades pass and the population kind of forgot about the WWII.
+Mind you, Nagasaki and Hiroshima lives in their mindset, but war becomes something that was in the past.
+In June 1992, the National Diet passed a UN Peacekeeping Cooperation Law which permitted the JSDF to participate in UN medicalonal Diet passed a UN Peacekeeping Cooperation Law which permitted the JSDF to participate in UN medical, refugee repatriation, logistical support, infrastructural reconstruction, election-monitoring, and policing operations under strictly limited conditions[^fn:1].
+
+Amongst part of Japanese population it was seen as a dangerous precedence.
+JSDF was, in fact, deployed on foreign soil.
+Both creators of _Patlbor_, Mamoru Oshii and Kazunori Itō were vocal opponents of this decision.
+_Patlabor 2: The Movie_ should be seen as their open letter.
+
+So, knowing this I have to say: _Patlabor 2: The Movie_ is amongst the greatest movies I've ever seen.
+I always say that for me, SciFi for SciFi sake is boring; it can elevate by using the setting as a mean to tell a human story.
+I also like SciFi movies that are not action-fests.
+And for both of those measures _Patlabor 2: The Movie_ **excels** all expectations.
+
+It is also a huge step-up fromr _Patlabor: The Movie_.
+While that had huge potential, but came out lacking in both, substance and form, the _2_ is a gigantic step.
+It's only 4 years between release dates, but I am floored.
+
+Ok, back to the movie itself.
+It's 2002, 3 years after the events of _Patlabor: The Movie_.
+Yokohama Bay Bridge is destroyed by a missile shot from a variation of F-16 Fighter.
+JASDF (Japan Air Self-Defense Force)  is blamed for the attack, and a result JSDF is ready to deploy forces all over Tokyo.
+
+One thing to get straight of the way: there's not much of Patlabors here to be seen.
+I think there are more shots of fighters and tanks, than it is of the mechs.
+This _not_ a mecha anime even though it is set in a mecha world.
+It's also not an action movie, as most of the scenes is two/three people talking.
+_P2TM_ requires significant attention, as it's all about those dialogues.
+The message is more said than shown.
+The presentation may be not to your liking.
+Anime is mostly known for imaginative fight scenes and fan service.
+This not that kind of movie.
+It's slow and methodical.
+
+But there are action scenes, and they are glorious.
+_PTM_ was looking great; _P2TM_ sets incredible standards that are often unmatched even today.
+I found it interesting, as the first portion of the movie uses very small color palette - everything is overblown, like in full sun, or light by fluorescent lamp.
+People look more like cyborgs than living things.
+Then, when authors start conveying their message, it all changes - the palette broadens and characters even get some tam.
+Subtle and effective.
+The city look incredible, the machines look amazing and characters no longer have perspective problems (like they had in _PTM_).
+Overall, the presentation is perfect, but unfortunately the style here seems mostly abandoned.
+It's _distinctly_ Oshii and _Production IG_.
+
+We've even got quite a few scenes that are directly quotes in _Ghost in the Shell_.
+And there's even a Basset!
+We will this dog in a lot his future movies.
+
+The only nitpick I can find when it comes to the visual aspect is that in a few scenes the snow looks bad.
+That's all.
+
+The music is great.
+It's not _Ghost in the Shell_ but Kenji Kawaii is a master of his craft.
+
+The only negative I can find is the main villain.
+He is absent from most of his movies and his motivations are hidden until the very last few scenes.
+His work is ever-present, but he is not here.
+Which is fitting.
+Oshii said that the "evil" character here is himself.
+Everything the villain say is what the director thinks.
+It's much better handled than in _PTM_.
+There the motivations were never developed, but seemed to be the point.
+In this movie his motivations are clear by the end, but they are not what it's about.
+What we see (the militia, the ineffectiveness of civil overseers) is what authors convey.
+
+This mecha-anime is a very strong anti-war manifest.
+It dares to put a mirror in front of our faces.
+Everything we have is because of some war, yet we do everything in our power to never think about it.
+Now, I live in Poland and the war seem more real that it was for my entire lifetime, but we still pretend that it's impossible.
+
+_Patlabor 2: The Movie_ is a masterpiece.
+Oshii is one of the most brilliant directors in history, and this movie is one of his magnum opuses[^fn:2].
+It's not only something **every** fan of anime should watch but everyone who enjoys cinematography.
+It's smart, beautiful and haunting.
+I fail to find a real flaw.
+
+[^fn:1]: Source: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Self-Defense_Forces#Peacekeeping)
+[^fn:2]: How many directors have achiever greatness on a few occasions?
+    Oshii certainly did!
