"Mobile Police Patlabor EZY" is set in Japan in the 2030s, a time when the working population is declining and automation through AI technology is advancing. Labors, once cutting-edge technology, have become an established part of supporting the social infrastructure. Standalone Labors piloted by humans are being replaced by autonomous robots and are becoming obsolete. No matter how times change, the work of Special Vehicles Division 2 remains the same: protecting people and the city. The Second Platoon, along with the AV-98Plus Ingram, a tuned-up version of the old Type 98 AV Ingram, confronts new technological crimes with their wit and courage.
Yutaka Izubuchi, a member of the legendary creative group "HEADGEAR" who worked on "Mobile Police Patlabor" and was in charge of mechanical design, will direct the series, while Kazunori Ito, also from "HEADGEAR," will handle the script and series composition. JCSTAFF will produce the animation.
Sumire Uesaka will play Towa Kuga, the pilot of Ingram Unit 1, and Kikunosuke Toya will play Kippei Amatori, the commander of Ingram Unit 1. Ami Koshimizu, Chikahiro Kobayashi, Setsuji Sato, Yume Matsumura, and Megumi Hayashibara will also appear in the cast. The series will consist of three chapters and eight episodes in total, with Chapter 1 released in theaters on May 15th, Chapter 2 on August 14th, and Chapter 3 in March 2027.
