Premieres sometime in 2026. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis from AniList:
With the rapidly accelerating development of hyper-technology, a humanoid-type machine called "Labor" is being used in every field of industry. However, it has created the new social menace of "Labor" crime. In order to curb such crimes from happening one after another, the Metropolitan Police Department has established a special department. the "Special Vehicle Section No.2". It consists of company of patrol "Labor" known as Patlabor.
wait, what? what?! A new Patlabor movie?! Made by someone who worked as a mecha designer on Gundam, Cowboy Beebop, Escaflowne, Full metal Panic and Evangelion ?! Sounds like someone who know a things or two on mecha animation. Count me in! đ
I couldn't really make heads or tails of if this project is a sequel, a remake, a spinoff, or what. So, if anybody has additional information for this project that was announced all the way back in 2017, then I will gladly update the post.
Will do, just need to wait until I'm in a watching head space first (I'm having a bit of a hard time sitting down to watch anything at the moment). Thanks for recommendation though!
