Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor 2 the Movie

Both Patlabor 2 and Gasaraki are quite tonally and thematically similar. Both are realistically grounded mecha shows that explore notions surrounding the integration of mecha into the JSDF. In addition, both shows portray mecha combat fairly realistically and plausibly. Plot-wise, the two depict frightening actualisations of martial law and nationalist groups that seek to restructure and re-establish political and social power throughout Japan. Both, enveloped in a dense, socio-political climate of civil unrest and political quagmire. Those who enjoy tales of domestic terrorism, grandiose ideology, political thriller or giant robots, in general, will surely find one of these two shows refreshing and intellectually stimulating.
