Patlabor is divided up into a few different
Japanese Animation movies and series. Some of the main characters are in the various series, while new and exciting ones are added in each of the different stories. The
Patlabor 2 Mobile Police movie is my favorite of them all, but all of them are worth checking out! I will describe most of them for you.
PATLABOR Mobile Police - The Original Series With the rapid development of robotics in the late 20th century came the Labor - a humanoid-type, multi-purpose construction machine - which was rapidly employed in
a ll aspects of industry and heavy construction. However, these machines also created a new menace to society: Labor crimes. To combat this threat, the Tokyo Metropolitan
Police Department established the "Special Vehicles, Section 2", comprised of specially designed Patrol Labors. These are the stories of the SV2 - The Patlabor
Squad!
PATLABOR 1 Mobile Police - The Movie The year is 1999 and Tokyo's Mobile Police have a new weapon in the war on crime - advanced robots called Labors are used to combat the criminals who would use the
new technology for illegal means. The suicide of a mysterious man on the massive Babylon Project contruction site sets off a cascade of events that may signal the
destruction of Tokyo. What is the connection between the suicide, the new Mobile Police AV-XO Zero Labor, and a berserk prototype tank? When Patlabor cops Noah Izumi and
Azuma Shinohara investigate an unexplained wave of rogue Labors' rampaging across the city, they uncover a sinister revenge plot to infect Tokyo's eight thousand Labor
population with the deadly BABEL virus. With the future of the city hanging in the balance and a typhoon poised to trigger the devastation, Noah, Azuma, and their
teammates must destroy the source of the virus - the giant Babylon Project tower in Tokyo Bay in a die hard battle to the finish.
