Patlabor Reboot

>>152355305
Yes. It doesn't need a reboot hence they're fucking it up.

>>152355568
Well it's not an alternative version, as far as I can tell - it's a sequel.

>TV: 4/10
Never post about Patlabor again.

Well it seems a bit thin compared to OVA and movies.
I picked it up several times and never got out of first 10 episodes.
Does it get better?

>>152356415
It is mostly a slice of life sort of deal with some more serious arcs along the way, it is much more character focused, if you actually like the characters, and not just Mamoru Oshii (Who directed the 1st OVA and movies), it is one of the best anime of its kind.

Not sure how you think you can even judge the 2nd OVA either since it is connected to and relies completely on the content of the tv series.

>how can even judge the 2nd OVA
In a similar way?
SOL looked a bit too thin and plain to me.
But I'll give TV another go keeping in mind that it's more SOL than concentrated Oshii mecha from movies.

Is there any info on what they plan to do with franchise?
I mean new TV special titled "reboot" got to mean something, were there any announcements?

Wow. Shit taste.

>>152356770
Didn't i tell you not to post about patlabor again?

>>152355305
Wait am I missing something here?
I thought the "reboot" was just a one-off short, is it actually being made into something legit?

>>152357061
Yes you did and I didn't listen.
Don't be stupid, this much is obvious.
>>152357114
Well what's the purpose of this short 10+ years after last title in the franchise?
I assumed "reboot" meant they're going to do something with it now.
Question is what: a movie? OVA?

If Yoshiura is directs a Patlabor reboot in any full-length form I will literally suck his dick.

In terms of story, yeah. In terms of characters, not at all. SV2 were barely there and barely characterised at all in the movies.

Depends on what you like being focused on in your anime to be honest.

>>152358404
Not even in terms of story really, just in terms of overall themes. The majority of those two Oshii movies was just characters walking around in some pretty scenario for about an hour with a few sparse plot details here and there and then an action scene at the end to wrap everything up. You could cut so much out and lose nothing of value in those movies.

What the fuck is with this shit taste.

It has no more purpose than all the other shorts pumped out by the studio recently, it's fans farting around and having fun. I liked it, but without the backing of Oshii we're never going to see more animated Patlabor that runs for a substantial length.

>>152358865
>no more purpose
Why REBOOT then?
>without the backing of Oshii
He's not dead is he?
What is he busy with nowadays?

>not fucking it up

it's too late. they dun goofed

>>152359471
Eh, mecha is pretty detailed and backgrounds are fine, if only a bit oversaturated.
I'm not a fan of 3D mecha myself, can't even remember any good examples of it, maybe early Geass and Aldnoah?
