Animated Patlabor Statistics
Sourced from the 25th anniversary book
Sengoku Youko – 11
「断怪衆最強の男」 (Dankaishū Saikyou no Otoko") "The Strongest of the Dangaisyuu" Douren really is quite the admirable fellow in so many ways.
Sengoku Youko – 03
For those who have the patience to follow Mizukami Satoshi at his own pace the rewards will be ample indeed.
Sengoku Youko – 11
Where Mizukami is concerned I always fear the worst with anime, as if a curse hangs over his work.
Sengoku Youko – 02
「灼岩」 (Shakugan) "Shakugan" This is all going somewhere, everything that happens matters, and the journey cannot be separated from the destination.
Sengoku Youko – 12
Never would the phrase "just when it's getting good" be more apt than if Sengoku Youko were ending after the prologue.
Sengoku Youko – 09
「山の神 (前」 (Yama no Kami (Zen)) "The Mountain Goddess" This story is full of people wanting to be something they’re not, each for their own reasons.
Sengoku Youko – 08
Mizukami gets a tremendous amount of content into a series - plot, philosophical debate, character arcs - without seeming rushed or too busy.
Sengoku Youko – 02
It's more than a little surreal, seeing a Mizukami Satoshi series being competently adapted by capable adults.
Sengoku Youko – 12
「迅火と道錬と竹吉とバリー」 (Jinka to Dōren to Takekichi to Barī) "Jinka & Douren, Takekichi & Barry" Seriously, this guy has more tails than the U.S. Mint.
Sengoku Youko – 09
Sengoku, for me, has an air of grandness and sweep with no wasted space that elevates it about its predecessor, great as that is.
Sengoku Youko – 13
Never would the phrase "just when it's getting good" be more apt than if Sengoku Youko were ending after the prologue.
Sengoku Youko – 04
「迅火と人間」 (Jinka to Ningen) "Jinka and Humans" I’m not immune to the zeitgeist of a series, as much as I try to be.
