What do Patlabor fans think of the Oshii movies?

It'd be smarter to ask /m/, honestly OP. But I agree with >>157805405

Typical Oshii, making all of the characters sullen and down-trodden at the expense of characterization. Nao doesn't resemble the TV or the OVA character at all.

The funny thing about the third 'Patlabor' movie is that I had no idea Oshii didn't direct it until it was over. Talk about a style that's easily aped. It wasn't that bad either.

>>157805637
U are kidding right? The third movie was dogshit.

>>157805669
>U
It was alright.

>>157805645

Don't know how I made that typo. But still, Oshii clearly just wants to make every movie Ghost in the Shell.

>>157804819
Is there a correct order to watch Patlabor or do you just go with good ol release order?

>>157805594
>or the OVA character
You do know the OVAs were directed by Oshii, as well right?

Theirs defiantly a change in mood from the fun of the show and OVA's but they're really good. I borrowed the books that came with the special edition from a friend and it is interesting watching them knowing what Oshii was trying to do in the movies. I think the first one is the best overall since he was going for an interesting angle of emphasizing the effects the antagonist had on the world rather than his actual presence, focusing more on the breeze than the fan if you will. Two is still good but it's really political with Oshii just railing against the current (at the time) self defense clause Japan was forced to stick to.

>>157805785

Which makes it even more jarring when Noa is all "I'm not really a fan of patlabor, I'm not a kid anymore, wahhhh"

OVAs > Movies > TV series

I'd recommend the manga FIRST too, but there's no complete english scanlation, so too bad.

>>157805537
/m/ is shit though
>>157805830
It's sad that character was developed in a way you didn't like, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's shit characterization as you seem to imply.

>>157805832
This isn't true at all. There are two watch orders, and for both it's production order. OVA>movies,
TV>TV OVA

>>157804819
I'm a sucker for Oshii so I liked them the most. But I understand some people might be turned off by his style and especially the more slower and mature pace of the films if you went in searching for mecha SoL.

>>157805902
>/m/ is shit though
/m/ is MUCH better than /a/.

>>157805902

It's more that Oshii just can't stop applying one formula to all of his movies. Also that scene where the guy was ordered not to fire back on the other guerrillas was stupid and would never fly in real life.

I lub Patlabor in all it's forms.

Well, not that one movie.

No, but I just assume that's what they'd do.

First one is amazing. Great balance between the serious plot and the accurate characterization.
Movie 2 is an excellent film on its own, but far from being my favorite as a Patlabor fan.
Both obviously blow the shitty third movie out of the water.

>>157806456

Thanks anon. This is a great list.

As a kid I really loved the first movie. It might not just be my all time favorite anime film but one of my favorite films period. And I say this as a guy who can't stand Oshii's shit (I loathe GiTS) and am not a /m/ guy either. But Patlabor's my jam. Really loved the tv series but stopped there. I really gotta pick this up again.

>>157805976
>It's more that Oshii just can't stop applying one formula to all of his movies
What's this formula though? I understand he has very distinct style but I haven't picked up anything close to formula.

This turned into a good thread. I stopped visiting /a/ because I thought you all only cared about kawaii little girl shit which on its own would be fine, in a healthy, reduced amount.

First movie is fantastic, probably the best Oshii has ever made.
Second movie is also great, but for completely different reasons.
Third movie has almost nothing to do with the rest of the franchise, but it's still pretty good.

Top down shot of tanks turning a corner at night during the montage of all the JSDF forces in the city, the way they turn just looks ridiculous as fuck if you're familiar with tonks, I guess I'm the only one autistic enough to have noticed it.

The live action, Next Genaration is just a "remake" of some TV/OVa chapters.

Movie 1 still has the Early Days OVA fell, just a more serious story.
Movie 2 though goes full serious mode with political-military thriller aspects like Oshii did in GitS and Jin-Roh (as a writer, not director)

It can be a bit jarring for people how enjoyed the more cop comedy aspects of Patlabor, wich he completly dropped on Movie 2, but I like it, the animation is top notch, I realy liked the focus on Nagumo and the plot is intriguing, although is just a rehash of the OVA 5 and 6 (SV's 2 Longest Day 1&2). It as nice little spin on Patlabor.

Also, with the TV show going for a alternative retelling with the original feel and atmosphere of the OVA, people who enjoyed it for the comedy have plenty of material to watch, its diferent than what happend to Nadesico, who went full serious mode with The Prince of Darkness and than just was completly abandoned

TL;DR Movies are good even of more serious, it dosen't harm the franchise

The first one is great, and while I haven't seen 2 yet it looks great too.

>>157804819
I like them more than the TV-series, which I could never really get into.

>>157804819
I don't think I would've cared about the cast in the movies at all had I not watched the TV series timeline first. Oshii definitely cares more about story/themes than he does the characters, which I'm sure some people prefer but I personally didn't.

>>157821501
probably because you're a "i only watch serious anime for mature people like myself" faggot

Third movie was based on a chapter of the manga but with all the SCU characters removed for some reason, it originally had Noa & Asuma there instead of those two detectives.

>cares more about story/themes
His priority is visuals -> themes -> everything else really.

aside from Beautiful Dreamer you're spot-on

>you know what would make this robot-focused series better? Monsters and a detective who walks with a crutch!

You bloody hero.

Really wonderful stuff.

The first is top tier. The second has its merits, but loses the core of the franchise while trying to make its point.

My favorite anime movies along with gits.
