Watched the live-action movie series (some though), including the movie sequel.
Not bad. Gave some info on what happened to Shinobu and Tsuge after the 2nd Patlabor movie.

Seems that the translators have worked on the manga. 18 volumes and counting.

Huh, the manga is still ongoing?

Manga was done a long time ago in Japanese. Official translation in English/French died along the way.
Unofficial one is up to volume 18. Been meaning to read it.

There’s another Patlabor anime called EZY. Likely out by 2024 latest and it’s set in the TV anime verse.
The overall Patlabor trope page should be Manga (slash) Patlabor since it started as a manga.

Manga's been unofficially translated up to (IIRC) Volume 20. Need to check. This one was done very fast in a few years. Translator/s picked up the pace for others that dropped out.
And EZY's due to air (definitely confirmed) in 2024. It won't be in the OVA/movie 'verse.

Nice that someone made a Patlabor 2-based MV, but with the Försvarsmakte in Sweden.
I liked this analysis of Patlabor 2.
Recommended this to those who are into poli sci/international relations in East Asia, especially Japan and its ties to the Allied Forces and the USFJ.
