Patlabor 2

In the near future, advance robots called ‘Labors’ are used worldwide for civil and military operations. In order to combat criminals who might misuse this new technology, the Tokyo Police Departments Special Vehicles Division (SVD) is equipped with patrol labors, or patlabors, to fight urban crime.

The date is 2002, three years after the events of Patlabor 1. The destruction of a United Nations labor team in South East Asia signals the beginning of a deadly terrorist plan that threatens to send shockwaves throughout Japan’s military. With evidence of an impending military take over, the scattered members of the original SVD must gather to defend the city against danger. To make matters worse, the mastermind behind the operation is none other than Nagumo’s former teacher and ex-lover Tsuge. Can Nagumo stay true to her oath to uphold the law in the face of Tsuge’s destructive plan for revenge? The countdown to armed revolution and panic on the streets of Tokyo begins now!

Picture quality
If you are a Manga fan you have almost likely heard of ‘Patlabor 2’. It is a cult classic. The animation is great. Lots of money and hard work went into this film as its previous (Patlabor) made a lot of money. The picture quality is mighty fine.

Sound
The sound is great. The sound track is very good. The music director is Kenji Kawai. As I have said befour she is the best music director. She did other anime films such as 'Macross plus'. (One of the best anime films for music).

Rating
If you think 'Patlabor 2' is going to be non-stop mecha action you are seriously wrong. The film revolves round the characters. I like the characters in this film I found them quite funny. If you like mysteries then this is the film for you.
       I give 4 out of 5 for 'Patlabor 2' for intresting story.
