The thing that makes me appreciate this scene way more than the final scene in Ghost in the Shell is the way they portray the combat in a chaotic, clumsy way. As if every plan that they had laid out meant absolutely nothing because everything goes wrong, putting pressure on them to salvage the situation before it becomes out of their control. Really adds to the tension and meaning to the squad dynamics as the scene plays out. The lighting also absolutely takes my breath. The shadows shift and the weak red ambient lighting becomes overwhelmed by the bright, white gunfire. Also, the fucking music is the cherry on top. It really brings out the mood of the scene. Godbless Kenji Kawai.

For now I'll say what I also like is how, they're aware they aren't the military, but they still try to do their best regardless. Even when their plans may fall apart to some extent, they still try to adapt and improvise to at least not loose. Plus the more I watch it, the more details I catch on that explain some questions I had. One being at first why wern't all the labors firing more freqently until being reminded, their sidearms are all revolvers, 6 shots, and they have to be **manually reloaded by getting outisde the labor** or why Hiromi could not always fire. Besides the distance in question, there's the fact it's a narrow tunnel, and when any of the SV 2 labors are in said main way of the tunnel, they are at risk of getting hit too. Not to mention given they are up against military labors (and armored ones at that if it took **eight** shots at one of em to put em down) the most he could do was distract or knock them off balance. And so on, I' d keep going but then I'll ramble more.
@Ostsol2 жыл бұрын
It's a common narrative device that plans articulated to the audience will fail, or at least have significant setbacks and unforeseen problems. In general, whenever characters talk about the plan, expect problems. If they simply say something like, "Here's the plan..." and then the scene cuts to the start of the action, it'll probably go well and succeed.

There's been so many good things pointed out about this clip, but my favorite is the part when (4:49) Ota kicks one of the quad leg bots onto the floor, and then the robot just flails around for a few seconds, trying to figure out what happened, and then it realizes it's fallen down, and it SELF RIGHTS USING KINETIC ENERGY FROM ITS HYDRAULIC PISTONS. And the second robot grappling with Ota ALSO USES ITS PISTON AS A FACE PUNCH. And the hydraulic punch is powerful enough to actually snap Ota's robot head off. That was some awesome big brain portrayal of Robot AI and combat self adjustment mechanics.

It's Ota he seldom ever goes into battle without his Ingram getting trashed the fuck up. Sometimes, if not often by his own hand even!! The dude is a good pilot, but his anger issues cloud his ability to keep his equipment operating long enough to finish the fight. Kind of why despite Noa's babying of her own Ingram, pushing ridiculous levels, she at least kept Alphonse working enough to tackle machines that at times could outperform the Ingram, and come out on top. It's why Patlabor worked so well as a comedy as well as a slice-of-life police procedural piece.

But remind that the Patlabor armaments and Armour is not designed to handle or engage those such as military mechas, even they armed a 90mm Riot gun or any heavy weapons+extra armour plates. Because the militarised mecha design were more like a armoured walkers, having powerful anti armour and anti personal Vulcans for offence and defence. Also have thick armour for deflect any projectiles except heavy anti armour missiles or joints part.

There's not much extreme action, and no one, not even the villains, even dies (onscreen, at least), and yet this is still giving us goosebumps worth replaying the sequence over and over with. Just how does the Patlabor animated works even do that?!
I got the first Patlabor film on VHS when I was like 14 with zero context (no internet, so I didn’t know there was a TV show or additional movies or nothing). Really under appreciated it at the time. I’m glad I stumbled upon a stack of DVDs of the TV show at $3 a case and then binged all of them while I had a cold. I came out the other side with a genuine affection for the grounded realism for the series.

I actually prefer the TV series by a very slight margin. Very character-driven. It was also nice to see different labor makes and models make their respective appearances. Pretty fuckin hilarious too lmao. That episode where SV2 fragments into seperate splinter factions just because Sakaki accidentally found their porn stashes was absolute gold lol
1:51 _"Hiromi! Cut loose!"_ The following shot is amazing. Instead of shaky cams, close ups, or cuts, you see Hiromi firing a shot from the Anti-Materiel Rifle - visible recoil and pushback of the water, and then the scene effortly connects to a shot of Ixtils and the following power of the shot hitting the wall. When doing action scenes, it's not always the fanfare and flash - you get to see how one hit lands to another and see the action flow. I've regretted notnfinding this masterpiece sooner. The Patlabor anime and it's movies are amazing to watch for being grounded and a bit more realostic than the run of the mill mecha anime out there ❤

Then they were like "wait we need to protect this license" and so the lawsuit... But the majority of the other designs were just random artists drawing Mechs and tanks for money as far as I know.

They have since managed to recover pretty much all of the rights to use those particular models and redesigned them somewhat to keep Harmony Gold's money-grubby fingers away from future lawsuits, especially since Harmony Gold lost their case against the current Battletech rights holders pretty badly (the copyright lawsuit from Harmony Gold was dismissed with prejudice, and therefore can never be brought to court again).
