The recent 35th Anniversary Urusei Yatsura stream was fun, so why not watch some good mecha next?
The first Patlabor OVA episodes start tonight at 9 Eastern, showing episodes of Astro Fighter Sunred (toku parody) until then.

10 minutes to start
And we're go!
No enthusiasm for Patlabor?
I'm disappointed in you /a/
>>149402456
/a/ sucks and has shit taste, thats why.
>>149401240
I love Patlabor. The idea of giant robots using giant revolvers and a specific scene where the humans are reloading the giant bullets into said giant revolver.
Also, one of many animes where tomatoes play a prominent role.
>>149403025
>tomatoes
oh shit, I forgot about that episode, can't wait until we get to it
Aw Yeah, Patlabor time! Been a long time since I've seen this.
>>149402456
I got aus innanet m8, I'll be there in spirit
What about the Patlabor TV Series?

>The recent 35th Anniversary Urusei Yatsura stream was fun
No it wasn't. Casual fucks on /a/ don't deserve to know about that great show. I kinda hate that guy for doing that stream.
Patlabor TV is my favorite slice of life show.
>>149403722
we'll get to that after the OVA and first movie
Patlabor is shit
>>149403771
Objectively bad taste: the post.
Leona Ozaki better version of Noa.

>absolutely generic mech designs
>retarded main character that needs every single other character's help to do anything right
It's like Yui except 20 years ago, I couldn't agree more with you

wacky hijinks - tomatoes, alligators, and monsters

Wasn't Oshii only involved with the OVAs anyway?
>>149403736
That's somegreat taste.
>>149404055
Oshii was involved in writing the manga, then he directed the first OVA, films 1 and 2, and Next Gen.
Can you stream One Punch Man?
>>149401515
Kanuka is love
Kanuka is life
So how many UY VAs are in Patlabor anyway?
>>149403736
No it isn't.
>>149404420
No, it should be Re:Zero.

>being a newfag
/a/ livestreams several series. Lurk more.
>>149405226
it's not the best way to watch anime, but it's the best way to watch anime as part of an audience
>>149401240
only watched the first ~14 episodes of LUM in the stream, you guys went way too fuckin fast and i'm NEET
>>149405710
Are you sure?
>>149405710

Yeah cause a board like /a/ where nobody ever knows what the fuck they are talking about to the point where even post waifus threads which are about the only thing the modern anime fanbase can even remotely comprehend seems like an epic struggle to it is going to be hype for a reboot of a nearly 30 year old franchise. I mean we could make this a thread about why the modern anime fanbase sucks a bunch of dicks and has terrible taste that is dictated to them by conglomerates they aren't even aware of but might as well just leave them to shitpost about Kyoani and Shaft all day thinking that it matters at all.
Patlabor 2?
Wait a minute. I haven't seen any of the OVAs or movies and I'm working through the TV series currently. Am I watching in the wrong order or does it not matter?
>>149407749
production order is: OVA1, film1, TV, OVA2, Film2, WXIII, Next Gen
But the various parts of the franchise are in different continuities, so you can watch in any order you like and not miss much.
>>149403875
Oshii seems to love taking Shirow's work and toning it down.
>>149401240
DAKISHIMETE! MIDNIGHT BLUE!
>>149407996
Good thing he didn't get Dominion Tank Police.
>>149408214
But that's basically what Patlabor is.
