I'd go for the 47 episodes of the TV series first. then the 16 episodes of the second OVA series.

I don’t have either of those!

And as I understood it the movies are one continuation of the story following the 7 episode OVA and those you mentioned are a second path?

(I’ve got some other things liked up, SAC 2nd GiG and Solid State Society in my Pile of Shame before I want to commit to 60+ episodes of a series I don’t have and seem expensive to acquire!)

Patlabor fans help me decide!

I recently found the original 7 episode OVA on YT which I watched preceding Patlabor: The Movie but now I have a debate, do I go in release order and watch Palabor The Movie 2 or WXII?

I would recommend leaving Patlabor 2 until last. It acts as the culmination of the team's story and is a fantastic capstone to the whole franchise. WXIII is pretty good, but it's a side story where the regular cast barely appear, and is set before Patlabor 2.

My inclination was to go in timeline but wanted to be sure I wasn’t going to get some weird spoilers for 2!

Thanks 🙏
 
Has anyone signed up for HBO Max (UK) to peruse the offerings and see what/if anime offerings they have? Their site doesn't seem to let people see the catalogue without paying them

As I don't frequent as much as I used to and also don't follow the anime physical release market up close I have a question regarding

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Season Three

Is it so that Crunchyroll UK will not be releasing a Limited Edition Part Two for this, like what happened in the US?
 
You need to import that LE from the US, it's Region A+B

If Crunchyroll UK plans to release a LE for a title, they'll announce and release it usually at the same time as the Standard Edition. And as the Standard Edition went on sale in December there won't be a UK LE

Yes and I poke around every now and again for one at a price I can stomach (same with Ping Pong) but we didn't get a standard edition!

*My collection is all Blu-ray and region B compatible only (thus far...a couple of things only in A have had me tempted)
