Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor: On Television
Detail
+
Heavy robots, or "labors," have been developed in the future for use in a number of tasks, including construction, firefighting, the military, and more. Although the robots are merely machines, the people who control them are only humans, and even humans may become criminals. The police of the future are prepared to fight fire with fire, utilizing cutting-edge patrol labor units, or "patlabors," because a heavy labor unit can be a dangerous weapon. This is the tale of the Second Special Vehicles Division, a mismatched group of patlabor police officers trying to keep the peace and battle crime.
