Anime: Anyone remember Patlabor?
 

I remember watching this on VHS fansub a long time ago and almost forgot about it and then I stumbled across this... There is a live action TV series being made in Japan based on the original coming soon:

Live-Action Patlabor's Premiere Dates, Visuals Unveiled - News - Anime News Network


[EDIT] website: THE NEXT GENERATION ??????

I remember this cartoon機動警察. its special because its not only talk about beat up the bad guys and save the world

i loved patlabor i've still got a few toys and models

collectible stuff? any pics?

live action and anime never work out well

hopefully they don't ruin a part of my childhood

same here. the article mentions that they have changed all the character names, and there is only an SV2 now... still, with a budget in the millions i am optimistically hopeful.

should michael bay get involved?

They may have been collectible once along with my macross toys but sometime ago a bottle of some sort of adhesive spilled in my box and melted some of the plastic parts :/ i'ld have to dig them out for pics

youtube:


noa smokes? gross... i thought it was only goto that did that.

The same thing happened with Blair Witch Projecthttp://weber.$$$$$$$$$$$$.com/3.jpg

can't find a good sub online... sigh.

latest:

I don't think the jokes and storyline translated well in the live action version, not to mention the pace proceeded too slow for such a short run.

At least we know what happened to the original team.

I like the tribute it played to Gundam in one of the episodes, but holy crap that's all lot of staff to service those 2 "labors"
