Patlabor - The Mobile Police, The TV Series (Vol. 3)
The misfits of the Special Vehicles Division #2 of the Tokyo police force  continue to deal with crises--on and off duty--and renegade giant industrial  robots ("Labors") are often the least of their problems. Isao, the squad's  resident big mouth, finds himself with a lovely girl in anomiai, a  preliminary meeting for an arranged marriage. Naturally, the entire crew  butts in. The adolescent prince of an oil-rich Middle Eastern realm visits  Japan--and finds a kindred spirit in mecha-loving Noa. When the male  members of the squad are injured in a judo match, Captain Goto has to make  peace between irreverent Noa and no-nonsense Kanuka. He stages a drinking  contest that produces new bonds (and hangovers), as the 47-episode broadcast  series based on Masami Yuuki'smangaserial "Mobile Police Patlabor" careens  along its merry way. (Unrated; suitable for ages 8 and older; minor violence,  alcohol use)--Charles Solomon
