The Patlabor and Ghost in the Shell series are engaging police procedural that are very different (less dark or philosophical) from their movie counterparts. Section 9 (in Ghost in the Shell) and Second Special Vehicles Division (in Patlabor) are specialized units in a society where criminals are using advanced technologies to commit crimes. Patlabor has mostly stand alone episodes with a wide variety of styles including comedic slice of life, action mecha, and thriller. Ghost in the Shell alternates between lighter self-contained episodes and more serious episodes from the overarching storyline. Patlabor is an overlooked anime compared to Ghost in the Shell.
