Patlabor 2 Tunnel scene

[@LR-jb6zn]

no not really.
how many mech anime that have you watch?
and its not really THAT detail.
its pretty much common in other mecha anime in that style.
and this is probably a movie, compare it to gundam unicorn, this still inferior.

[@217Gnomes]

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.

[@Rossriders]

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.

[@Ostsol]

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.

[@williamw8976]

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.

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.

[@Mr.Pallanza]

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 ❤

[@TheBigTimeChicken]

The whole movie is a beautiful piece of art

[@daniel_f4050]

This is the only anime I ever owned. Sadly they’re just for display now as I haven’t owned a VHS player in years.
My introduction to mecha was through the old version of Battletech that included the Japanese model designs. That game went down the drain pretty much as soon as they lost the ability to use those models. I know some designs came from Robotech but never saw anything that listed where the other Mechs had come from.

[@chrisrobinson9899]

All of the Mechs we're free lancer designs, that's why they used the designs that Harmony Gold claimed to own, because at the time they were available for paid rights usage before Robotech/Macross became the franchise it is today. 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. Not like Gundam where one or two guys design everything.

[@daniel_f4050]

@@chrisrobinson9899 A lot certainly were just made up by FASA. But there were at least half a dozen or more that had Japanese model kits. For example…. The Shadow Hawk, Wolverine and Thunderbolt are the non-Macross models I can remember off the top of my head. There were almost certainly others, I just can’t remember if I’m thinking of Macross models or not. It was a very, very long time ago. 😉

[@subtlewhatssubtle]

@@daniel_f4050 There were three anime series that early FASA pulled designs from: Macross, Crusher Joe, and Fang of the Sun Dougram. They had 55 'Mechs in the starting sourcebook (TRO 3025) and of these, 19 were anime designs. 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).
Battletech has since enjoyed a new renaissance in the past three or four years and is very much worth taking another look.

[@ZackeTheBrute]

Always liked the industrial/functional look of mechs more then the fancy japanese stuff. Funny how tastes differ, i give you that japanese cartoonists have come up with some mean spider tank designs though.

[@daniel_f4050]

@@ZackeTheBrute I’m with you on that. I can’t stand the Gundam look or anything else with all that “stuff” sticking out all over the place. I’m sure they’ve justified it at some point or another, bit I just think it looks silly.

I’ve never seen this before, YT algorithm has been putting a lot of older anime on my feed and I love it. This is the first time I’ve seen a mech with body armor and it makes sense that they would as there isn’t such a thing as a fantasy alloy like gundanium

[@kouchagawa]

reactive armour

[@Aztesticals]

Only thing that upsets me is that these mechs didn't have a dedicated melee backup. Not like a sword or so. But instead like a hydraulic spear underneath the arms for close range crushing and piercing damage. Seems like a very tactically viable object to include for not much extra materials. These things obviously already have super duty hydraulics. Just add in some extra pumps and pressure release system so that it would have a single thrust ready to release at button push

@@AD-1138 LE specs and Mil-Spec are very different roles.
While LE specs are designed not to cause collateral damage, Mil-Spec are designed as mobile gun walkers for all terrains.
As for armaments, Mil-Spec are either use Vulcans chambered with API-T or AP-T(DU)+HEAP-T or cannon that either fire Tank rounds or Howitzer rounds. But LE specs was not, only armed a 37mm Revolver cannon with hollow or soft rounds, a electro baton for disable mecha electronics and powers, and if permitted, a 90mm Riot Gun loaded either canisters or slugs or electro shots or etc. Also the LE specs will only wear Kelvar and slap some armour plates if engage a mecha that illegal armed firearms or any unknown hostility.

@@t.gchannel4067 Even then the first scene of *both* Patlabor movies features humanoid Japanese military labors getting torn apart by a more conventional armored vehicle, an unmanned spider-tank in the first movie and then a shilka lobbing ATGMs in II.
