Is spike a bad thing?
They do/did one thing really well, Mystery Dungeon.
And visual novels I reckon.
Action RPG might be a bit beyond their usual pace <_<

I had heard about the second series. I was probably going to take a break before starting it. Is it also based on the manga?
Yup it's from the manga as well but...
The best way to describe it is like what happened to DBZ. Author has an ending in mind, popularity and editorial wanted a continuance. There's definitely a sharp decline in quality and some leaps in logic regarding some different characters' backstories.
I support taking a nice long break after you finish the first section lol.

Also, up to about 70 in Fist of the North Star.
Nothing major under the tags IIRC there'll be one more "important" villain in Part 3, then a handful of clip shows before the next starts.
Part 4 is largely about some new Nanto guys and Raoh of course. Keep an eye out for Juza.
If your episode count goes to 152 then just keep number 110 in mind, because that's when the "second" series started, and it's polarizing among Hokuto fans. Some people love it, others absolutely loathe it.

EDIT: Never mind, my brother just showed up at my door with the PS4 and said the video is still in his library despite it being pulled from the store, so I'm about to set up and watch it. He also left me a sticky note of times to look away due to gore.
What a good bro!

Well, I've watched the three Patlabor movies. And going by what I read online and the receptions for all three, my opinions are...well. Hot takes. So prepare yourselves, Patlabor fans.

Patlabor 1 > 3 >> 2
I guess I either haven't seen 2+3 or I can't remember them, so I'll give em a watch and see if our views match up. I really liked 1 though, it had a good bit of everything.

That is pretty cool trivia lol. I've been enjoying Shigeo's character as well so it's cool to see the thought that went into the character.
I was happy to share it, I've been sitting on that one for awhile. Always have a laugh when that frantic yell creeps into Chiba's deliveries.

Yeah, it was the Early Days OVA I watched. Hit me with the trivia!

Alright, here's the lead in: Headgear as you may know, consisted of Masami Yuki, Mamoru Oshii, Yutaka Izubuchi, Kazunori Ito and Akemi Takeda.
Oshii had made his mark in anime already with Urusei Yatsura, Dallos and Angel's Egg.
However, one year before Early Days, he'd made a radio drama called While Waiting for Red Spectacles, and a live action film titled The Red Spectacles.
https://i.imgur.com/vSAw3AH.jpg
These would lead to amongst other things, the live action sequel, Stray Dog, and the more popularly known anime film Jin-Roh. While the later titles were focused more on the name of the police unit, "Kerberos," the two Red Specs referred specifically to the visage of the protect gear which the unit wore.
From Stray Dog:

And Jin-Roh:
https://i.imgur.com/0s6w6jY.gif

Now for the specific trivia. The lead role in the Red Specs film went to Shigeru Chiba (that's him in the trenchcoat up above), who had previously worked with Oshii on Urusei Yatsura. Perhaps because of this familiarity, he ALSO had a key role in Patlabor as mechanic Shigeo Shiba
https://i.imgur.com/2Th4mvp.jpg
Who just so happens to be named similarly to him and look exactly like him
https://i.imgur.com/ykRncyr.jpg

And for the final bit, which IIRC happens in one of, maybe the first film, but isn't by any means a major spoiler
Shige-san comes back from vacation with a tan and guess what else?

Patlabor was pretty good I haven't really gotten into mecha anime, or anime that's this classic aside from Legend of the Galactic Heroes, so I wasn't sure how I'd feel about it. It has a great cast and I'm looking forward to the movies and the reboot series.
Nice, Patlabor is great fun. If you saw the OVA I have a little trivia to share.

Also @Juhanor I got to when Souther is first introduced in FOTNS. He seems pretty badass, probably the deepest voice I've ever heard in anime.
AW YEAH Souther's arc is the best. Gonna be a ton of great voice acting in this one. Classic Banjo Ginga baritone.

Also have to pour one out for my boy Rei. Sucks he had to die but I like how the Raoh battle had real consequences. At least he went out accomplishing a goal.

Part of me is sad that Bears and Wolves got hunted out of the UK.
On that note I saw a doc on the Alps, wolves are returning there and bear + lynx have been reintroduced to great success.

My wife is working on a script for her next anime video and it centers around mystery anime in some ways.

Anyone have example of anime where once the "mystery" was solved the whole series kinda went downhill?
Gasaraki's is kind of dopey GRAINS ECONOMICS. Basically 25 episodes of nothing with a few good action scenes dropped in.
Big O in that the mysteries of Paradigm City were never meant to have an answer, it was just supposed to be MotW/episodic. There's still some cool stuff in the back half but the quality drops in comparison to 1 thru 13.

Itachi157 posted... IIRC dog village was in the manga, and yes it felt like filler there too. As you probably have picked up on HnK has a bit of a weird pacing with following the big spectacles with those dopey villain of the week interludes.
Out of interest I looked up to confirm how many episodes were legit filler, and surprisingly the count is pretty low at 21 total.
Your assumption is on the mark, you haven't yet seen the last of Raoh.
I won't spoil what's in store for Rei but he's one of the defining characters of Buronson/Hara's "glorious suffering" style.

I'm glad you're enjoying it too. Would you believe I just got the series on BD and the first disc was mis-produced <_<. Maybe once the replacement comes in I'll start a fresh watch.
Tetsuo Hara is a fantastic if somewhat same-facey artist so of course I'll throw in a good word for the manga too. If you're interested in some of his other works I'll also suggest Misappropriation Investigator Nakabo Rintaro what if Clark Kentshiro worked for the IRS and Hydra what if crime world Kenshiro had a 4ga shotgun packed into a handgun.
Like I said, somewhat same-facey...but its a good face.

One of the most stand-out characters in the Hara/Buronson bibliograhpy IMO, especially when considering the bleak landscape of HnK/FotNS. Didn't want to ruin the surprise though, so you'll have to forgive my cryptic commentary up there.
