So, what to know about Patlabor is that it is a very atypical show. It is labeled as a mecha show but you won't get much action, it's rather a comedic "slice-of-life" thing, more of a chronicle of a bunch of cops.

However, the rest of the OVA series is random episodes in true Patlabor fashion as it follows the division 2 team on various adventures, work related or not. That is what makes up Patlabor The New Files.
