I suppose it depend on what you looking on the franchise. The movie was more serious and lack of comedic tones compare to tv series that more light and heartwarming.
The series wasn't as well drawn, the animation quality looked like it was probably suffering from budget and deadline issues that typically befall series.
I don't feel much that way anyways, it's series so obviously it got more low budget/episode compare to movie. It was non issue for me bcoz again it's not suffer quality drop like more long series. ex: naruto or one piece.
The writing was what bothered me the most though. I can sacrifice animation quality if the writing is good, like with Berserk, but the writing was just awful. The movies were very psychological with meditative dialogue and complex conspiracy plots. The show looked like it was trying to keep along the same lines, but also had that extremely distasteful commercial/marketing taint that felt like they're just making more because Patlabor is popular and they know it will sell, but they weren't really putting much effort into it. It had no feeling. I really don't have time for that kind of meaningless fluff, it's just boring.
I'm not buying that comparison. tbh the fact that I enjoying the series and feel glued with the characters made me can appreciated the movie more and the franchise as well.
I got what I liked from each -the light side on the series and the heavy side on the movies, as well - why should I be bothered with one side perspective called
"I merely want smart serious writing" or whatever is that. no, again I'm not buyin into that statement "they have no feeling when made that" when it just from the same headgear creator.
But it's ok It's ur privileges of opinion I take what mine
It's definitely not for everyone, but it has a pretty loyal following. It's certainly legit, and much better written and animated than most mainstream anime in my opinion.
I heard it also helped by the fact the source material
itself (The novel) was pretty menacing.
