As the 20th Century was nearing its end, a new Industrial Revolution brought forth unprecedented advances in robotics. The invention of the Labor - a humanoid-type, multi-purpose construction machine - emerged as the wave of the future. Making older industrial equipment virtually obsolete, the Labor, unfortunately, also made a pretty cool terrorist weapon.
To combat the rise in Labor crimes, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department established the “Special Vehicles, Section 2,” comprised of specially designed Patrol Labors - PATLABORS. … source anidb
Encoded from the US BD. Dual Audio: Japanese (Stereo FLAC), English (Stereo FLAC). All episodes are the uncensored Japanese versions. For the first 6 episodes I used the DVD’s uncensored English dub so you might notice a difference in audio quality. Episode 12 also had to be heavily spliced. I synced up the sound effects but noticed the vocals had a lot of variability so it may have just been a bad dub. It also looks like I forgot to mark this as v2 but it is a ground up re-do and not just a new audio version.
Patlabor continuities (in release order):
I would appreciate any help seeding.

@Yukino That is a good question. I used the same ones that I had used previously. I think they came from [-__-’]

Just checked and it is [-__-’]. Looks like the same subs as G_P but with nice styling to them. Thanks!

Great upload, but the subs on episode 27 are a bit off, and the subs on the 2nd half of episode 35 are very off. Not a huge deal but I thought I should say.
tyciol
is something from the 80s really worthy of 1080p resolution? just wondering
metamorphic
@tyciol: It’s more than worthy, if it’s remastered properly (like Patlabor is), because it was done on film, unlike most newer anime from 2000s and beyond, which is mostly done digitally. Film animation is always going to be better looking than digital animation. See also, for more 80s anime beautifully captured on film in 1080p: Oishinbo, Riding Bean, Bubblegum Crisis, Kimagure Orange Road, etc.
