I might check this out. I have a friend irl that is a big Patlabor fan and has tried to get me to watch it in the past. I just started watching Squid Girl this past week since I am a big fan of the manga, but I haven’t really been digging it. So, I might just bail and switch over to this next week.
You’ve good friends.
I’m closing in on having watched it all now. I totally see why people who’ve gotten into the series become big fans. The franchise has me utterly charmed.
It’s a wholesome anti-drama with a really endearing cast that frequently get up to all kinds of antics. And it somehow combines that with the seriousness of public service to the point that characters can have full on crises of confidence when things go wrong.
It’s like watching a kids show, that does fun and cool things because they are fun and cool, but also without the show talking down to you like you’re actually 12.
