If you liked Ghost in the Shell then Patlabor 2 is definitely the movie for you. I recall reading that Oshii and team got the offer to do GITS based on the strength of P2.
While I love GITS I think Patlabor 2 just might be the stronger film. More grounded and cerebral, and no distracting male gaze.
I wish we could get techno-thrillers like P2 rather than warmed over Tom Clancy nonsense, but that’s the film industry for you.
- ranger207 3y agoI know what you mean by "Tom Clancy nonsense" but I would like to point out that he did do some stuff in the genre of techno-thrillers. I long for the day we can get a _Red Storm Rising_ movie (ideally one which focuses on the hardware and not the romance of course) but until then there's always Fixedit's Red Storm Rising project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo8FhChnyq0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo8FhChnyq0
