You Just Need The Right Bait Detective WXIII: Patlabor the Movie 3 Is a movie about 2 detector, who are trying to figure out ,where the Patlabor franchise went. It's a movie, that I can't see many not enjoying, because it goes in a so different direction, that it feels more like the team was bored and wanted to do something else, than wanted to continue the Patlabor franchise. But it's still so enjoyable, It's a wall put together detective story, that doesn't go too much into that philosophical stuff that almost drowned Patlabor 2. the monster just fits right in and is such an interesting twist to, whatnormally happens in these kinds of detective stories. the Patlabor franchise has always been very good at showing detective work, and how to make it interesting to watch, and this is the best example of it.

It really loves the feeling of transit, of just putting some music on and letting you absorb the vibe and the world, and it's so detailed that you want to look at it.
It looks excellent, It has that amazing hand drawn look, and shading, that will become a rarity soon after it release in 2001.

It's a movie where the beloved characters are cameos, but at least they are not misuse. would recommend.
