One of my all-time favorite scenes in anything ever. The juxtaposition of the calm and soothing music against the mecha VS monster fightscene on display while all the mature drama between the human characters plays out as its happening is just jaw-droppingly good. I get why alot of people criticize the film for not being Patlabor-y enough but to me, its fine. It feels like the perfect spin-off. If only it actually was a spin-off so folks wouldn't complain about it being a mainline movie that doesn't focus on the main cast of the series enough. The dark and gritty story and themes in the film culminating in this scene just hits all the notes for me. Edit: If you happened to come across this at complete random (wich seems unlikely, but hey) I highly recommend that you check out the Patlabor OVA series plus the 3 following animated movies. The OVAs and the first film are loads of light-hearted and fun action, while the second film is one of the best mecha action-thriller movies ever made. As for the third one: its special. And I love it.

Good lord, I've been looking for this movie for years. I remember watching this once while I was just flicking through the channels on TV as a kid. The monster's unstoppable determination always stuck with me.

この映画はパトレイバーシリーズとしては異質な気がする。いつものメンバーが完全に脇役か端役の位置にいる。でも100%好きでも嫌いでもない、原作とはかなり異なる作品だけど。

The Patlabor series is so diverse in genres. The TV show and the OVAs are a slice of life mecha show. The first movie is a high stakes action flick. The second is a Tom Clancy-esque Political Thriller. And the third is a mystery sci fi horror.

What this film seems to boil down to is a mentally scarred scientist who happened to be working on a biological weapons program but she wanted to bring her child back (in a way) but instead created a giant monster that gets loose and kills. A little lacking in story but great atmosphere when we first see Wasted 13, so much tension.

見たけど… 娘の部屋が､､異様だよ。 誰でも本当に気が狂ったら ああなるんだね。

救いが無い映画と分かっていながらそれでもどこかに救いを求めて観てしまう。 ママと叫びながら焼かれた13号。自分が母になった現在、これを見るのは本当に苦しい。

劇場版はこんなにシリアスやったんか！太田は弾丸外すし、ノアは「給料あげてぇぇぇ！」って絶叫するしかなりコミカルバタバタ展開やったイメージしかない！

wxiii really deserve more love and attention, it's a super poetic suspense sic-fi film that's has deep meaning

I’ve finally found it! This movie was such a vague memory. And trying to find it by searching “anime movie with cancer monster and mechs” was a pain! After all these years, i need a rewatch.

For Hata and Kusumi (especially Hata) this may be a grand case, but for SV2 I guess this is just another day at the office; Noa and Ota didn't even break a sweat. But seeing Ota that calm is a pretty rare occasion indeed.

これ幼稚園の時見て廃棄物13号のにトラウマ覚えたの覚えてる。その時はただレイバーがかっこよくてパトレイバー観てたけど今見返すと全然違うふうに見える。人間ドラマとか時代背景とか。そう思ってる現19歳w

one of my top favorite thriller/investigation franchises in anime

この作品は伏線が多過ぎて、しかも種明かしが少ないのが難。 2:38 蹴り飛ばされるカメラの番号は「８」。冒頭で秦が着ていたユニフォームの背番号８に掛かっていて、秦は冴子に拒絶されるということを暗示している。

パトレイバーは名前は知ってたけどあまり知らなくて何かに惹かれて これをレンタルして見て当時やるせない気持ちになった

This movie is a mix of everything, amazin detective story,scare intense action in the babylon site and canal and then this sad scene

6:38～のスタジアムのスクリーンが切り替わってからの、ゲームオーバー感がすごい(^_^;)(語彙力)

3:34 薬は注射より飲むのに限るぜ、ゴジラさん

I had a DVD of this movie and I used to watch It when I was 8/9 years old. The mechas, the Monster and some specially this final scene with the limping agent and the flamethrower had stuck with me for all these years (13). I came across another Paltabor movie scene and the giant robots were too recognisable.

the antagonist watched her daughter die twice. She was beyond saving at this point.

I had this same conversation with my father when we first came across this on one of the movie channels a few years ago. A good detective story about a bioweapon run amok but suddenly there's the 'robots' (his words, not mine)..

One of the best films I ever saw as a teenager. Only Patlabor movie I saw aside from episodes.

It is very sad that many prominent police characters in Patlabor always come so lonely, like the detective who lost his love one, or my guy Goto who can't reach Shinobu, I hope someday there is Patlabor series that give Goto some justice he deserve.

The creature made me think of Evagellion.

WXIII: Patlabor The Movie 3 is on Action Channel Animidnight!

It was too high for me when i was 15 or younger. Now it seemed more musical

Man this movie brings back memories

Noa Izumi and Ota vs the reptile-like Alien Queen wearing a blue and yellow armor!

For the ppl complaining that they didn't used the labors much in this movie,first of all this is a spin off side story much like rogue1 star wars and also in parlabor#2 didn't they used the labors in just the last battle scene also? What's the problem then?

The Host, a Korean movie kinda similar to this. I mean every scene was really similar but using the different ways. By the way that movie 2003, while the Host was 2006

@Kanuskiz Mamoru Oshii recently released a new Patlabor book that focuses around Section 2... I'm really hoping he will adapt it into an animated film.

@Kanuskiz It's a continuation of the first two films (I haven't read it yet), but it focuses around Section 2 protecting a soccer team from a terrorist attack.

This is just a side story set in the world of Patlabor, which just happens to have the Section 2 crew making guest appearances...-_-

also to include this story was part of the graphic novel series, (though the movie follows the detective's story than section 2) which parreled the TV and original video animations (OVA series). though it would be nice if there'd be a decent sequel series/movie. other than that Patlabor is personally one of the "most realistic" .

...how did they get her into the armor in the first place?

Yeah this movie was nuts

I like how much struggle there is to just land a single shot, because if there's one fire that goes the wrong direction, then its straight to the insurance department for that infrastructure damage.

the thing I like about this movie is that it shows some of the other sciences that are being investigated in the labor universe on one side machinery has advanced so far what is happening with the biological ya know

１３号の誕生秘話が、ビオランテと少し似てる気がする

これを見て性癖が壊れました

Or stories of soldiers piloting military mechs. (Brokens, Helldivers, etc...) This is a military crisis after all.

Its just sad man:(

I wish we got to see more character interactions between the monster and the scientist. She could've been a great character. But she's not bad though.

パトレイバーが怪物と戦っているシーンがカッコいい

This shit seemed too real, clumsy fight, guy fails to save lady, monster makes weird ass screech you wouldn't expect...

Romantic

This movie is pretty sad

Poor Wasted 13 :'(

"Can we watch Pacific Rim, mom ?" "No, we have Pacific Rim at our home" Pacific Rim at home : 01:22

I know this isn't quite the movie that 1 and 2 were but damn... that dude gonna be wrecked for life.

... Wait, this movie had an English Dub? I thought it was sub only.

why subtitles that dont match it is horrible to read

It's funny that they set the 3rd movie between the 1st and 2nd movie, and yet the main characters of the Patlabor series barely make an appearance, pretty much in this scene only, with completely new police detective characters as the main characters of this movie.

Esta peli es la mas cruda de las 3.

This is the only scene Patlabor showed up in the entire movie

good fight!

こんなのパトレイバーじゃないわww 太田さんが決めるんですよ！ 失敗しないんですよw

It looked super special though. I missed that dvd

よくみたらコイツ 腹ふくれてね？ 繁殖する危険性あったんやな 原作でバクテリアだったけ？

what annoys me that the monster in this movie and the manga looks different. the one in the manga have the look of a sinister monster crawling up from the deep of the abyss. this one, jn the movie, is not so intimidating.

What the hell is that thing? O.o

I wonder whats the caliber oft hat patlabor revolver

Earnestly one of the most depressing anime movies I think I've ever seen, and that's keeping in mind Mamoru Oshii's other work. This whole climax is action-packed, but in a vaguely unpleasant way. It's like watching the cops show up and shoot someone dead in the street. It's not cool or thrilling, it just makes me feel kind of sick.

They Should just rename the movie, the story is almost like Ghost in the shell Innocence. they used sv2 to catch the monster only,

これだけDVDもってねぇや 何かパトレイバーの中でも異質というか、救いが無く内容が仄暗い過ぎて

13号の声、人間で吹き替えって…

Why all the Patlabor's movies so god damm dark? it was so happy back at TV and OVA

刃牙みたいな音

刑事が主役だから特車二課の面々がサブキャラで出番が少ないんですよね。放映当時はそれで叩かれてた記憶。

乳房があったことに、今気づきました！！！ …何年かかったんだよ(^_^;)

Bang Anwar'. "

英語版キャストはこんな感じなのか。

何かエバに影響された感ある

An alright movie, but misleading. If you're going to put Patlabor in your title then SV2 should be more than just guest stars. At the very least some kind of Patrol Labor squad should be central to the plot. It's such a bait and switch and leaves fans of the series, who only watched it because it's part of Patlabor, feeling cheated.

The WXIII story in itself was not bad, but it felt sleazy that they used the Patlabor name to sell it when SV2 and the Mobile Police barely even figure in it.

Shit…

Cool scene but why on god’s green earth does it have boobs

Anime Movie creators sat down one day and tried to come up with a cool story and IP universe. Thought of a detective sad sorta semi modern/sci fi world with some good soothing music. Thought of strange biological creature escape and out murdering people. Then realized it could be boring. Then thought hey! Lets set it in the Patlabor universe and try to keep people awake during the time showing some characters at a time to make it sorta surprising. Then don't do any Labor fights. Except at the end. 1 moment where it feels like Patlabor Then thought O Ya! We need some twisted Neon eva shit by making the mad scientist a woman who just wanted to bring her daughter back to life by making her dead body turn into a living sea monster! That could it into a Patlabor universe won't it!? Ha ha Great Idea! By the way add some 5:49 Tits the sea creature! I mean dead child that was resurrected as a sea monster! Great stuff! This Movie was boring, weird, sad, and pretty fucked up for the plot at the end.....still has some good animation and music. I gess I'll letthis film slide because of the tits.....WTF Anime!

the worst one :(

this Patlabor movie sucks.... The best will always be the second

So Boring
