Anyone know a source (website or book) for detailed information on the technology in Patlabor?
You can't swing a dead Tomino character without hitting a site that'll explain Minovsky particle physics and Mobile Suits, but I can't find anything about the operating principles behind Labors. :(
hello~
i would love to ask a question?
in the manga called Denpa Kyoushi~
in the chapter 4 page 18
why is it difficult/imposible for oshii mamoru to make a moe anime???
Hmmm... I can't seem to play that MP4 file on my Mac. I'm not very well-educated on computers, so... any suggestions?
Also, I recently rewatched Sky Crawlers and am contemplating writing a review/off-the-cuff analysis of it. (I've already written the first paragraph.) Should I take a shot at it?
