| I laughed a lot at this episode, specially in the parte where they were planning how to defeat the monster, and when the monster and Yamazaki meets. I thought this episode would be bad because of this monster, but it was very interesting. |
| The Godzilla sound bites were music to my ears! I laughed out loud the moment Yamazaki and the monster locked eyes. |
| The ending credits music coupled with the scene brought tears to my ears. Freaking hilarious! xD |
| きみ は だれ だい？ ぼく は ラムボ！ ぼく は だれ だい？ きみ は ラムボ！ ラムボ なんでし！ |
| Just rewatching this little OVA for fun. This episode is so weird. I guess there's a lot of homages in there to old japanese films like Godzilla. |

| Episode strange enough in the end, I was almost exclaim: What the hell is this? Comedy always pleasant, the daily Patlabor still seems so current! XD A refined design, animations sufficient. The OST are fantastic! * _ * P.S. I voted the sixth possibility ...! ASD |
 |
| Obvious nods to Gojira, and a really deep ending. Yamazaki is Love. Yamazaki is Life |
 I REMEMBER TOUCH. PICTURES CAME WITH TOUCH. A PAINTER IN MY MIND. |
| WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH PATLABOR?????? CRIMES???????? FUCK |
| this was one of the weirdest fucking patlabor episodes ever. It was funny but that last few minutes was just so odd |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Totally unexpected |
 |
| I watched the films before watching the OVA series. This one really shocked me, I did not see that coming! That being said, I still enjoyed it quite a bit! :3 I was imagining it was going to be a giant squid that had somehow gotten trapped in the bay and the "it's a monster" thing would have been a joke that payed off in them getting wrapped up in the fantasy and not considering the realistic possibilities. I have to agree, this show does feel pretty current! |
| Meh, not a fan of this episode. I hope they don't have more goofy stuff like this aquatic monster thingee. |
 |
on 
| Great episode in its own right, but it felt really out of place in this series. It was more of a Godzilla parody than anything else, and the Patlabor aspects seemed tacked on |
 |
| What the fuck did I just watch haha |
 |
| Best ending hahahaha. Kinda reminded me of the Beast Titan. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Every episode is so wacky, I love it. Ōta shooting the Baltan alien and Godzilla King Kong Yamazaki. Hiroko Kasahara on the tv when Izumi, Shinohara and Clancy eat. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Anticlimatic conclusion, but interesting thematic. |
 |
| Yep, gotta agree that this episode was weird to say the least. I also didn't expect it to be an actual monster. Don't think i liked it in the end, it really felt way different from what i was expecting this anime to be. Edit: Why the hell the poll in this thread have 6th option, lmao!? |

| AnimeThemes.moe <- the largest collection of anime Openings & Endings on the Web AnimeMusicQuiz.com <- guess an anime from your list by it's Opening/Ending music browser game |
| This felt so out of place with the thematic of this anime when it was revealed that it was an actual monster. |
 |
| I never watched Gojira or other japanese SF-Monster movies, but it was very obvious that this is a parody episode. And probably also because of that, this episode is my favorite so far (I didn't enjoy first two episodes). |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| An alright episode. My favourite part was them discussing the various plans. The Oxygen Destroyer was a nice reference. |
|
| I'm sorry what the hell just happened |
 |
| He grew a giant monkey in the ocean, cool. I'm falling asleep tho |
| What a weird episode lol. Thought for sure that it was going to be a twist like that it was all a dream or that it actually was a whale. Kinda funny that the previous episode joked about mechs with wings being a farfetched idea, and then this episode there's an actual giant gorilla sea monster. |
| Trash fire episode, hated it. Slow paced for no good reason. Heavy on direct exposition, low on interesting dialogue, extremely low on philosophy It's got nothing to do with the Labors, the Patrol Labors, or any of the established characters. They added someone new into the team last episode, this could've been about her instead. 08th MS Team had a slow paced episode with a purpose; demonstrating military boredom during missions, and the mental toll on soldiers. I loved that episode. It took me three days to get through this one. My god, man. |
| This one was a funny kaiju/tokusatsu parody. Ohta was really funny and Kanuka very matter-of-fact. The "monster" and the big guy made a psychic pact. I actually didn't expect it to be real - I thought the preview may have just been a fake out! Good stuff! |
| I was already feeling that this show was giving me some early Ultraman vibes (specially with the slow pace and their uniforms. lol), and after showing alien Baltan as a target I was sure of it. Great stuff! |
