Hiya,
Maybe this will cause a big list of replies, maybe not. Considering how popular Manga has become. Has anyone seen Patlabour 1 and 2 ? I heard that 3 is coming out soon but that was 2 years ago.
I love both 1 and 2. Unfortunately, in the middle of the film, they see the needs to explain the state of the society and make all these 'comments and statements' about why this and that happens. I seem to find a LOT of that in manga that's based on modern day theme.
The animation are brilliant - although not in the same league as Miyazaki, but it's VERY VERY well done.
The 2nd one, the story is especially interesting and in a way, realistic.
What happen when you a place in command of an UN force and your troops and yourself is under hostile fire. You request to return fire is denies cause the 'higher' chain of command has this mentality to keep 'peace' and it's easy for THEM to refuse your request to return fire cause they are NOT the one getting creamed.
So you end up watching EVERYONE under your command getting wasted.
Well worth a look if you have not seen Patlabour and like Manga. MHO anyway.
