The 3rd Patlabor movie. Veteran police detective Kusumi and his young partner Hata search for the cause of several deadly labor accidents in and around Tokyo Bay. Each detective applies their own style of investigation and they soon uncover a labyrinth of deceit with connections to the Japanese and American militaries! As they continue their investigation, Kusumi begins to suspect Hata’s new girlfriend, Saeko, a genetic research scientist may be involved. However, neither is prepared for the brutal truth and must work with the military to lure the perpetrator into a showdown with the Patlabors of Special Vehicle Unit 2!
This is an interesting anime movie set in the Patlabor universe but it just didn’t do that much for me. It kept me entertained but I don’t think I’d want to watch it again. The animation is really good and so is the soundtrack. The storyline is intriguing. I think most Patlabor fans will be disappointed more than anything after seeing this because it’s more of a character driven movie rather than the mecha.
Sadako’s Rating: 2.5 out of 5
