Cool! If only we could get Oshii involved again. It's not like he's doing anything right now. But at least Itō is in.

The 2016 short looked great. Stick to that look and find a story. Kazunori Ito was involved in all animated versions but the messy-as-all-hell Patlabor WXIII and also wrote GitS 1995. Seeing JC Staff instead of IG ain´t ideal but we´ll see. Good to know that the live-action reboot ain´t how the IP goes out.
Now if we could get Masami Yuuki back for another manga. Even if to see his take on the plots he didn´t adapt. His take on WXIII is actually good. |

I say it every time a mecha revival comes along and has CG robots:
ALAS. It'll probably still be enjoyable though. |

The only Patlabor anime IG spearheaded was the first 2 movies & Minipato. Deen produced the OG OVA, Sunrise produced everthing else except for Wasted 13, which was a Madhouse production. I said all that just to say, the series has a rich history with quality studios behind it, not just Production I.G (a studio I absolutely love, mind you). Also, Deen and J.C. Staff are pretty much interchangeable, hell, there's been plenty of times when JC Staff will supercede Deen on a theatrical adaptation (most recently with the Konosuba movie) where Deen handled the TV version. Bigger budget, for the most part, means better production. I just think people give undue flack when a lot of the production issues (at least back in the day) were due to budget constraints. |

Given how the last few Oshii things turned out it's probably for the best he's not involved this time.

I'm surprised Yasuhiro Yoshiura isn't directing this, even though his Patlabor REBOOT short was seemingly well received, but it's good to see most of Headgear reunited. I wonder if anyone from the original cast will come back.
