Patlabor: The TV Series, known in Japan as Patlabor The Mobile Police: On Television (機動警察パトレイバー ON TELEVISION), is a 1989-1990 anime television series. It was created by Headgear, animated by Sunrise, and based on the Patlabor anime franchise. The story focuses on Second Special Vehicles Division (SV2), a group of Patlabor policemen who fight and investigate crimes. The TV series is an alternate timeline to the original Patlabor OVAs and films, with an all-new origin story.
While it's primarily a police drama, it has an interesting flair for comedy and still provides some good mech action.
