If you loved Lum, la chica invasora: Beautiful Dreamer, try Patlabor 2: La película
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Mamoru Oshii, and they both carry the foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Animation / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lum, la chica invasora: Beautiful Dreamer, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Patlabor 2: La película is
Haneda tarmac at o’dark-thirty. A hijacked VTOL jet’s shadow stretches too long across empty runway. The Special Vehicle Section’s mecha squad dismantle the drone carrying a single crate—then realize the explosives inside are live. A general seizes the scare to lock Tokyo down. A bureaucrat’s last visit to an old friend in Kadena turns into a cat-and-mouse between red berets and olive drab.
