With the passage of time, many anime works have also been precipitated by the years, and many works will hold anniversary activities. Mobile Cop is an anime series that has been released since 1988 and celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Yesterday (October 17), "Mobile Police" officially announced that it will hold a 30th anniversary exhibition, which will probably arouse the tears of many people's times.
The "Mobile Police 30th Anniversary Exhibition (tentative name)" is scheduled to take place somewhere in Ikebukuro, Tokyo between December 13 and 24, 2018, and the details are expected to be announced on the official website and Twitter in the future. In addition, "Mobile Police" will also be exhibited in the "Toma komaki COSPLAY Festival" (とまこまいコスプレヘフェスタ) held in the hometown of Akira Izumi, and the 6th "Komai KOSPLAY Festival" will be held from November 3 to 4.
The original work of "Mobile Police" is HEADGEAR, a five-member team consisting of Masami Yusei of the original case/manga, Hiroshi Ibuchi of the mechanical design, Akimi Takada of the character design, Kadanori Ito of the script, and Mori Oshii, who is the director. From 1988, when Masami Yuki began the manga series, to 2009, his published works include manga, an animated television series, two OVA series, and three animated films. Although the stories of this series are different, the plot is commonly set in the fictional period between 1998 and 2002. Tokyo, Japan, was threatened to sink due to rising sea levels caused by the greenhouse effect, so the so-called Babylon Plan was launched: a large seawall was built to seal off Tokyo Bay, and the sea water in the bay was extracted before reclamation. Babylon plans to introduce a large number of large human-driven robots "Labor", and so on, and security problems related to Labor have emerged. The main role of this series of works is the second division of mobile police special vehicles that specializes in such cases. The second squad of the Special Vehicle Second Class, equipped with the advanced police Label "Patlabor", was stationed in a remote Haipu freshman's town in Tokyo along with the first squad of the Preparatory Class and the Special Vehicle Second Lesson, and the first animation work was broadcast twice in the second half of 1992.
