Description

MiniPato is a three‑episode series that parodies other mecha anime while expanding on the technology used in the Patlabor franchise. Episode 1 offers a concise introduction to the weaponry carried by the Ingram, explaining how it was designed and why it is configured as it is. Episode 2 examines the design and maintenance of the Ingram 98 AV on the SVU‑2, and takes a jab at the marketing forces, such as merchandising, behind the series. Episode 3 is the sole episode that expands on a minor point raised in the original TV show, detailing how the SVU‑2 is actually funded.
