5.0 out of 5 stars
The Original Patlabor Series!, March 23, 2000
This review is from: Patlabor - Original Series Collection [VHS] (VHS Tape)
They've finally released a box set of the three volumes of Patlabor: The Original Series. Note that this review may not be as accurate as others, because I have only watched the first two volumes, and unless the third volume is a flop, then this rating should still stand. I am hoping to order the whole one soon. Now on to the review:
Volume 1: The first three episodes were fantastic and really get you into the spirit of Patlabor OS. The first episode introduces the main characters of Special Vehicles Unit 2 and their first mission: to stop a runaway labor vehicle.
Volume 2: The episode with the monster is the worst one yet. The whole episode ends with pretty much nothing happening. But... the next episode is amazing!
Unfortunately, the publishing company wants your money, because they could have easily fit all three videos into one! Also, there are only two episodes (usually three) in the second volume and the last one is a two-parter that continues in the next volume. This is why the box-set is the best value, and at under 60$ that's quite a bargain!
