- flobosg 3y agoI haven’t watched it yet, but reading this article a while ago got me interested: 'Patlabor 2: The Movie' has stunningly realistic aerial combat – https://taskandpurpose.com/culture/realistic-aerial-combat-movie-patlabor-2/ https://taskandpurpose.com/culture/realistic-aerial-combat-m...
- pjc50 3y agoI didn't understand why people kept recommending this until I spotted that the director is Mamoru Oshii, director of GitS. It's perfectly reasonable as a standalone film without having seen 1. And it's good in the same ways as GitS; mix of action, political thriller, and lingering artistic set piece.
