Labors are giant construction robots piloted by humans, and the Patlabor team is a mobile police force whose job is to protect the population from people who might hijack or sabotage these powerful tools. Though events of the first movie called Labor technology into question, the needs of big business outweighed the concerns of citizens, and eventually they came back into common use. The military had also begun to adopt and adapt the technology, amidst some controversy. The story picks up with a terrorist attack on a Tokyo city bridge. The suspects include Americans who want to destabilize the Japanese government, corrupt forces within the Japanese government who want to increase military spending, and Tsuge, the genius of labor technology who was misused by the government three years prior. The animation is gorgeous, particularly the cityscapes and long shots, but that's not surprising coming from director Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell). Sparkling animation would mean very little without a good story or good characters, which Patlabor 2 has in spades. At the core of the story is a quiet dialogue about the nature of peace in post-WWII Japan--how the peace has been unjust because they've ignored poverty-stricken countries in times of prosperity. Then it's back to unraveling the conspiracy and the requisite action-packed ending. These Patlabor movies are excellent, and not just for fans of anime. --Andy Spletzer

Customer Reviews of Patlabor 2

And the fake bombing was only the begining...
Smart, intruiging, and somewhat slow-paced (for a mecha anime), something you don't usually find in the genre. Patlabor 2 is a diamond in the rough. You forget it's an anime, and get caught up in the political thriller. Recommended for people 15 or older. The content is strictly PG, but since this movie is so intelligent and sometimes philosophical, it would put anyone younger than that to sleep. Highly recommended.


If you liked Kido Keisatsu Patlabor 2, Get ready for no. 3!
Patlabor combines the elements of a fantasic story with the political stuggles faced by the modern world today. Much like a Tom Clancy novel, this is a masterpiece by Mamoru Oshii who also did GHOST IN THE SHELL (1995 Manga Video).

Oh yes..to break the news, I know that Patlabor 3 the movie is being made now and could possibly be showing in Japan already.

I'm not sure if it's made by HEAD GEAR so we will anticipate the great quality of animation delivered in the first two films!

Watch out for the third movie and if you know anything about it, e-mail me @ isaac.tan@home.com


Drag of an anime movie....
This is NOT your typical Cowboy Bebop action anime. Rather it's about political intrigue and dialogue after diagolue that it left like I was watching a radio-show. Absolutely boring. I didn't care much for the animation either or even the characters. The characters look japanese this time, unlike what we're used to. I guess they want to make the story a more realistic trying to deal with mordern day issues.
There's barely any action. I must admit that I couldn't finish the movie because it was way too boring with all the cloak and dagger stuff going on. Likely, I was able to get this from the public library. I would have been upset if I rented this movie. This movie is recommended to hardcore anime fans. Those of you looking for action, humor etc go watch Cowboy Bebop or something like that. Not this movie!!!
