The Mobile Cop anime aired in 1989, so why say era? Because this time is the eve of the Japanese economic bubble, before the bubble is the time of prosperity to the peak, this time the Japanese are quite confident, they all bought the Rockefeller Building, such a small territory is the world's second largest economic power at that time, some people even think that the United States is not great, for the future expectations and imagination of unprecedented optimism.
The animation made in this context is also permeated with this spirit, obviously it is a science fiction animation, but it gives people the feeling that Japan will really be equipped with mobile police in a few decades, although the animation does not say it directly, but inadvertently conveys the idea, does not boast that the default is normal, it should be so, maybe this is related to its director, that is, the well-known Oshii Mori.
Robot theme is completely different from other robot animations, other or war themes such as "Gundam", or adventure to save the world such as "Legend of the Demon Hero", but its animation is the daily story of the police, but the police tools for handling events have become mobile police, the special car second lesson for handling special events, its world view under the robot operation completely into people's daily life, not only police and military, civil engineering also, usually like dealing with traffic accidents, But it is inevitable to give us the impact of novel robots.
There are some special details that I saw in this anime, such as guns, and mobile police rarely carry particularly large weapons, because they pop up on the flanks of the leg armor, just right. Usually, the police use trucks to pull the mobile police to the scene and then come down to fight, and the huge robots that walk with their feet are easy to step on the road, and the energy is limited to the duration of the battle.
The villains who appear in the TV drama are said to be hateful and not too hateful, not the kind of guys who try to destroy the world and conquer the world, but an organization with a complex political background, they have developed a very powerful combat robot, tested it with the army's standard robot, and then found a special car second lesson (mobile police are the latest model in the play, and the villain is used for comparative reference). The story is to insert these less annoying villains from time to time in the ordinary life unit drama, and the ordinary life is interspersed with fierce battles.
The members of the special car second class are not in the second, there is no protagonist aura, in the boring work to find fun, each character portrayal is very interesting and real, I am most impressed by the hanger Lang on weekdays when the goto captain wears slippers all day, once the team members are in trouble, only to see his shrewdness and wisdom.
