Patlabor: The Mobile Police TV Series
Studio: Sunrise
Where to Watch: Hidive
What it’s About: Much like how Bubblegum Crisis’s cyber future brought about specialized robots to complete daily tasks, so too does the world of Patlabor with heavy machinery robots called Labors. However instead of coercing criminals to work alongside police to maintain order and civility like in Cyber City Oedo 808, Patlabor’s armed forces pilot giant robots of their own, called Patlabors, to stop lawbreakers from using robots to do crimes. We at Kotaku love anything involving giant robots and strongly recommend you check out this cult-classic anime immediately.
