Amazing, thank you for not "enhancing" it to 60fps

[tahirafzal]

This 30 year old animation masterpiece still looks much better than most stuff released today. And the music is pure joy!

[Yamazaki]

See this is what we 80s to 90s kids grew up on. Pure masterpieces among others: Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Princess Mononoke etc

[somerandomuser]

Lets appreciate those drumline and bassline
Man those are killin rnd on point

[kiysug]

残酷で非情なはじまりからのこのオープニング。

川井憲次の曲が、一層それを際立たせている。

[crut_]

I know the visuals are breathtaking, but god damn, the music is too! :D

[제로-gp]

Glorious 90's mechanics animation

When you saw the words "Director: Mamoru Oshii", you knew you were in for a heckuva ride.

ブックオフで初めて買ったサントラが
パト2だった
都庁と戦車が描いてあるやつだ
20年経ったけど未だに聞いてる

このレベルのプロジェクトを成功に導く。
それって本当に奇跡に近いことなんだよ。

[NinjaAdorable]

OMFG the goddamn DETAIL!! This is engineering PORN!!

[zenden]

Superior artstyle, music, and animation.

[STRIDER_]

As a 5 years old little boy, I was blown away by the opening in 1992. I didn't understand what the whole movie was trying to convey, but I just watched it whole with my uncle.
It was until I watched it again recently I realized what it meant, damn wasn't that deep... and now I appreciate the music even more.

[grim]

Fucking mecha porn! this sole scene puts to shame 99% of any mecha show/movie in the last 20 years if not more. Kenji Kawai... my god, that guy is amazing!

Flashbacks to summers of 97-99 watching on Action Channel in Katy, Texas via Direct TV

[pyroromancer]

The headset trchnology depicted in this sequence. The eye tracking, the augmented reality among, others has come true today

back when anime was being written and directed by engineers, has left us with timeless mecha classics like patlabor.

33 year old me realizing that my affinity for tech came from 8 year old me watching anime....neat!

[terminalblue]

I mean, the last upgrade went pretty well, right?
