Vvineomarm replied to the thread Just rewatched Patlabor movie 1 after not watching since 90s and tbh disappointed - perhaps a few spoilers.It gets points for being in the 90s style of my formative years. Enjoyed some of the wide shots of the city as well as the slum districts when they are looking about.
