It might be skirting the edges of what is considered cyberpunk since it has Mecha elements but Patlabor is a fantastic manga/series that should have been included in this list [1]

- CobaltFire 2mo agoPatlabor is left out of most lists. The new one (EZY) is amazing if you haven't seen it.
- wise_blood 2mo agoif for some reason you, random reader of this comment, decide to start watching Patlabor, be aware that there are two continuities: 1. Patlabor The Early Days (88-89, 7 OVA) -> Patlabor (89, Movie) -> Patlabor 2 (93, movie) 2. Patlabor The TV Series (89-90, 47 eps) -> Patlabor The New Files (90-92, 16 eps) -> Patlabor EZY (26-27, 3 movies)
- cdavid 2mo agoIt is especially strange not to see it in the list given GiTS is heavily featured (according to the comments, I can't access the page or web archive ATM). Patlabor movie 2 was directed by the same director as the original 1995 GiTS animation movie. Both patlabor 1 / 2 have similar themes to GiTS, and are heavily cyber punk in themes and esthetics.
