Dominion and Patlabor share several elements, such as the theme of police employing unusual, by real life's standards, gear in the fight against crime. Both heroines, Noa and Leona, are newly joined crew members and are sisters from another mother, who are equally infatuated in their trusty, mechanical, steeds. Not to mention their tomboyish chara design, the two police officers really could have been siblings. As to the rest of the cast, Patlabor has a more grounded Police department, while the one depicted in Dominion is much more bombastic. In case of the Newport City Tank Police division, the "bomb" part should be treated literally on numerous occasions. The entire corps must be Oota's (another pilot from Patlabor) relatives, who are equally trigger-happy while handling high velocity explosive means of perpetuating the law and order. The biggest thematic difference (not including the featured machines) will be the amount of destruction. If you are looking for an anime that abides OSHA, then Patlabor will be great. If you'd like to watch the "Los Angeles from Terminator the anime", then Domion Police is your choice.
