/m/ what is the best way to watch patlabor? Chronological or production order?
>>14604119
Chronological, as always.
>>14604119
Production, as always.
There are a couple different continuities to be aware of. The old anime series + a sequel series & the movie trilogy + a sequel series that it got. Go look up the specifics.
Also there's the manga which I'm personally not familiar with (though I've been meaning to give it a look) but I think that's in it's own continuity too.

Doesn't really matter. Just remember that there's a divergence in continuity.
First OVA---Films---TNG
TV---Second OVA
Minipato
I literally just finished watching the second Patlabor movie and my god that was one of the most annoying, pretentious things I have ever watched.

It's what this Anon said >>14604183
I watched the first OVA recently and fucking loved it. Felt comfy as fuck.
Dat opening song too.

The first movie is fucking awesome and I don't think that's a controversial statement. Personally, I thought the second movie was pretentious garbage and the third one is okay although it really has nothing to do with Patlabor.
The TV series + the follow up OVA are great though. Watch that after the first movie.
Does anyone have subs for TNG? All I've ever been able to find is Episode 0 (Shige-san talking about how literally every other character we know and love has left SV2 and how Labors are almost obsolete) and Episode 1 which is alright.

No. No one's subbed it yet.
