-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 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.

-
-After loosing World War II, Japan was under the USA's occupation.
-Their post-war constitution ha 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 manifesto.
-
-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 be elevated by using the setting as a mean to tell a human story.
-What's more, I 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 from _Patlabor: The Movie_.
-While that one had huge potential, but came out lacking in both, substance and form, the _2_ is a gigantic step.
-There were 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.
-Japan is close to martial law.

-Don't get used to the old main characters.
-They are barerly here.

-Even the trickiest of perspectives are spot on.

-Not much for mecha fans, but quite a lot for aviation fans.
-{{< /img-c >}}
-
-One thing to get straight of the way: there's not much of Labors here to be seen.
-I think there are more shots of fighters and tanks, than there are 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 are two/three people talking.
-_P2TM_ requires significant attention, as it's all about those dialogues.
-The message is more said than shown and it 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, that the first portion of the movie uses very small color palette - everything is overblown, like in full sun, or lighted 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.
-Unfortunately the style here seems mostly abandoned.
-It's _distinctly_ Oshii and _Production IG_.
-Anime no longer looks like this movie.
-
-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.

-This made me feel things.
-I'd give a lot for such audio setup.
-It even has a great CD transport!

-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 movie 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.
-
-_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.
-It is also a very strong anti-war manifest.
-It dares to put a mirror in front of our faces and _as of this_ type of movie, I fail to find any real flaw.
-

-There's some eye candy here.

-

-It's not there are no mechs here.
-They are, in very small doses.

-    Oshii certainly did!
