-There was a time when _Patlabor_ was an established name.
-
-It was huge, it had _Mamoru Oshii_.Now, sadly, it's mostly forgotten.
-_Patlabor: The Movie_ is the first from the universe.
-I'll cover the following two soon, as thiis is my rewatch after decades.

-
-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.
-
-Let's start with the visual feast.
-The movie looks stunning!
-Yes, later movies from IG top what we see here, and sometimes the faces may look weird.
-It's not perfect.
-But if we would simply tell ourselves that this style of animations is the peak and let's just try to maintain the quality, I'd be more than happy.
-The way this 35-year-old movie looks is a testament to the power of manual drawings.
-The design, the camera work, the coloring - I loved every second.
-
-Another cute thing I've noticed: _The Movie_ is an Oshii-type of movie.
-It came in this short period, where _anime_ was treating western culture as something alien and cool.
-We're seeing this in Jin-Roh, Evangelion, GITS, and many others.
-Here we've got the Bible.
-
-But this also shows the biggest problem of _Patlabor: The Movie_: it is shallow.
-On surface level, we've got everything one could ever want: Unabomber-style genius on a quest to stop progress at all cost.
-We're seeing how _old_ is discarded in the name of progress.
-We've also got a huge computer system which is maintained without deep understanding of how it works.
-Basically, 1999 is like 2024.
-But none of this is really developed.
-The main characters never stop and think, that maybe the world is not going the best route?
-Eiichi Hoba, the aforementioned Unabomber, is just a plot device: the viewer is also never confronted with his viewpoint.
-
-As it stands, _The Movie's_ story is disjointed:
-on one side we've got the real and interesting question.
-On the other, no one looks for answers and just accepts the risks of unconstrained growth.
-But maybe this was the point?
-We're seeing the same today: the world is ending, and most people are racing to be the last one to shut down the lights.
-It is scary how believable this is.
-Even the main threat is solved by a software rollback...
-
-_Patlabor: The Movie_ is good on its own, but it suffers from being the proto Ghost in the Shell.
-It's not near as good, nor is it as good as its sequel.
-But taking it at face value is really solid.
-I had huge fun rewatching it, but left unsatisfied for sophisticated sociopsychological treat Oshii is known for.
-
-My rating is 3.75/5

-It always amazes me how many anime shows older guys in their undergarments.
-I get, that Japan gets extremely hot during summer, but is it real that frequent?
