Yeah the Early Days OVA can be pretty underwhelming.
It has it's moments, but the interactions and situations are really tame compared to what you'd see in the manga, TV series and The New Files.
>there's a bomb pointed at a conference center
>Noa and Ota have to fly over a bridge to reach it
>they can't defuse it, but Kanuka saves them in the nick of time
Meanwhile, in the TV series:
>there's a bomb at a dig site
>Noa and Kanuka are assigned to it
>turns out that there's also a dragon stomping around the caverns
>Kanuka stays behind to stall it, but Noa saves her anyway and they manage to dispose of both the dragon and the last bomb in one fell swoop
Not that big on the movies either, though I appreciate the larger sense of scale.';

The original manga made a long monologue, without having to drive to the slums or put Tokyo in martial law.
I bet You're Under Arrest never did this (the OVA was fun and I'll probably look into the movie + TV show, I just thought it was a bit too lighthearted for it's own good, as if someone looked at Patlabor and only took the kawaii parts).';

It had some beautifully animated moments and when it was good it was great but the contrived investigation and pretentious story was just not my cup of tea at all and so much of that movie was just that.

I'm actually kind of with you. I love the first two movies (haven't seen the third) but I rolled my eyes at the way the find out about the sound frequencies and the tortured biblical references.

Helldivers and their exposed pilots are stupid.';

'>>22579292
Pretty sure it has an elevating cockpit seat just like the Ingram since they have a common chassis and development, so sticking the pilot's head out is pilot's preference just like it is for tank crew to open a hatch and look outside. More visibility but less protection. Same character opted to be lowered inside the cockpit and still had her cockpit breached when fighting against the Griffon.

They do it in the Patlabor anime so they can show the machine and its named character in the same frame to viewers without needing a cockpit cut-in or a split POV like Gundam usually does';

production order is the way to go but considering they were in different continuities i wanted to tackle the one with the sick op first.

>>22578249
I think one of my bigger problems with it is the way asuma gradually discovers the plot over blind happenstance because of izumi bumbling about in the background, and figuring out exactly what he needed to at the perfect time. I don't mind the cliché (not that i like it) but doing it two or times in the same movie is very obnoxious; It makes it harder to appreciate the deeper messages of the story when the main investigation is so half-assed.
I wasn't a fan of the meandering (and largely pointless) scenes with the detectives, the "quasi-supernatural" element with the birds at the end among other things, but everything with Izumi still rocked and when they let the characters actually interact and not just puke exposition it was great. I don't think its a "bad movie", its just not for me.';

'>>22586884
I love how Patlabor handles the development lineage of the Ingram into its variants and successor models. There's a great sense of gradual R&D with SHI clearly puzzling over how to turn a great labor into a successful product and having a lot more misses than hits until they land on the Peacemaker.';

When it comes to anything Oshii, you have to be prepared to talk to people who think there's always something "deeper" to him, but said in a derogatory sense, because they can only perceive of his visual style and his style of dialogue as just that. If you've seen at least Urusei Yatsura, you'll be able to appreciate that he's instead a versatile director who can do slapstick comedy and thrillers pretty well.';
