MiniPato: Mobile Police Patlabor Minimum (2002) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 2002, MiniPato: Mobile Police Patlabor Minimum is an action, comédie and animation film directed by Kenji Kamiyama, running about 35 minutes.

What it’s about. Unlike most shows the three episodes are not only totally unrelated to each other but really don't follow a plot as such and are more a light-hearted jibe at both the Patlabor series (TV and films) and other "mecha" Anime. Episode 1 is a brief introduction to the weaponry carried by the Ingram and how it was designed and why it is the way it is. Episode 2 looks at the design and maintenance of the Ingram 98 AV in SVU2 and takes a swipe at the marketing forces behind them (as in merchandising for the series). Episode 3 is the only one to attempt to expand on a very minor point raised in the original TV show and just how SVU2 is actually funded.
