Patlabor II is awesome, I think everyone can agree to that. :-)

Oh yes. Mamoru Oshii is a Japanese Stanley Kubrick. Now if only he could
handle his characters better...
Be warned, though. The Patlabor TV series and OVAs are nothing like the
films.

Yeah, I’ve seen *some* of those too. Definitely more humour, and focus on the
daily routine of the special vehicles unit, but I think I prefer the movies
more. Patlabor 3 was crap though. It took the style of the Patlabor movies in a
new plodding, boring, and overall meanier (i.e. the more “adult” talk, increased
violence, etc.) direction.
Here’s hoping Oshii directs another Patlabor movie. Even if his characters are
weak, I still like the way he blends politics, economics, and social issues into
the movies.

LOL, just remembering how they shot up those cables with shotguns brings a
smile to my face.

Yeah, a 12-gauge the size of a streetlamp is definitely my favorite mecha
weapon to date.

Yep, the shotguns are cool. I also like those batons. BLAM! You’re stunned!
