The groundbreaking 7-episode Original Video Animation series directed by Mamoru Oshii that
launched the Patlabor franchise. Set in a near-future Tokyo where giant construction robots
called “Labors” have become commonplace, a special police unit—Special Vehicles Section 2,
Division 2—is formed to handle Labor-related crimes using their own patrol mechs: the Ingram
“Patlabors.”

Centered on enthusiastic rookie pilot Izumi Noa and her beloved AV-98 Ingram Unit 1
“Alphonse,” the series follows the laid-back yet highly skilled members of Division 2 as they deal
with everything from malfunctioning construction Labors rampaging through the city, corporate
espionage, military conspiracies, and the eerie “Phantom” computer virus that causes Labors to
go berserk.
 
Tense police action, dry humor, and introspective character moments, establishing Patlabor’s
signature realistic, human-scale approach to mecha anime. This classic from the director of
Ghost in the Shell is available in high definition, with the original Japanese language, English
subtitles, and the English dub!
