Just one problem with reccing Patlabor, a good percentage of it OOP, especially the TV series (11 discs) & OVAs as Central Park Media is dead? Bandai who's got the movies in the US is pulling out. Madman (AUS) currently has movies 1 & 2 still in print but has a indefinite hold on the first OVA series. It's a good show as it's where a number of the current crop learned their art and where the masters refined it. Does the name Mamoru Oshii ring a bell, he's the guy that herded the cats together to bring Patlabor to the screens & paper.
*screeeech*
Hold the fort, the OP is in the R4 DVD zone hole -the same as me- which means unless he's got an unlocked player, a virtual certainty with a local set top DVD/Bluray player, its factory-done(currently) to meet a bit of legislation the *IAA want squashed. He's officially* limited to whatever www.madman.com.au, http://www.sirenvisual.com.au/, http://www.beyondhomeentertainment.com.au/ offer to a place many a Aussie dreads to go.... JB Hi-Fi! What not Harvey Norman? No, they currently don't sell video DVDs.
Well, there's always torrents, youtube, iTunes or Amazon.
*According to a bit of legislation we(Australians) are not meant to watch/read anything that hasn't been presented to the Classification board, but officially it's nearly anything goes for personal use, provided it's not extreme fetish porn or anything deemed to have certain illegal overtones.(AKA to the best of my knowledge, the entire unedited first series of Nanoha & the Movie would be Refused Classification down here or they would be if someone ponied up the dosh & the video for classification)
