If you loved Patlabor: Der Film, try Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Mamoru Oshii, and they sit in Animation / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Patlabor: Der Film, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer is
That boy Ataru would screw up even a time loop. The school festival prep devolves into Groundhog Day with aliens. The only thing repeating is the same old nonsense.
