About this episode

The hosts discuss the Patlabor OVAs and their connections to the movies.

We're finally scratching a big one off of Austin's personal list, and diving into Patlabor! Unfortunately for Danny and Danielle who haven't seen any Patlabor before, that means doing the prep work of watching the mostly good, but not great OVAs before getting to the real high points of the movies. Fortunately though, there's still much to talk about with the OVAs, including the weird resonances with future Patlabor projects which we'll get to in due time.Anime Discussed: Patlabor OVAs 1-7Next time: Patlabor: The MovieSend us your questions!
