Here you will find links to just about every Patlabor website on the web plus some other related sites and pages. You might note that a lot of these fan Patlabor websites haven't been updated in many years, which isn't too surprising, but rather disheartening to see. If you know of any more sites which aren't listed here, please email me the details so I can put a link up to them.

An excellent site. Probably the best Patlabor site I've come across. It has character profiles, a gallery, fanart, a complete listing of all Patlabor books and magazines, promotional cosplay pictures, pictures of telephone cards, shinjiki, character goods, even a doll dressed in SV2 uniform. The site also contains links to a Chinese version of the website.

A site run by the same webmaster (Katie Lee) who created the above website, this site contains pictures of her collection of Patlabor merchandise, as well as a picture gallery.

Patlabor: Condition Green
The first new English language Patlabor site I've seen in nearly two years. Run by a girl calling herself Sailor Lum, there's some music from the series and her own fan art on there at the moment, and it looks as if there's more to come.

Special Vehicle Section 2 - Maintenance's Computer Room (Japanese Language Only)
I'm not too sure if my shonky translation of the website's name is correct, but anyway it's a great little site which contains a Labors database, info on computer games, manga and book info, CD soundtrack info, pictures and info on various merchandise (phone cards, models etc), and a section on the weird "Super Deformed" Patlabor anime short that apparently appeared in a SD Gundam movie.

Patlabor Mailing List (Japanese Language Only)
As it sounds. This is the site where you sign up. It also contains a message board.

Reclaimed Land Club (Japanese Language Only)
Really, really shonky translation of this site's name, so forgive me. This seems to be a site where Patlabor fans in Japan can organise to meet up with each other. It also contains a chat room and links. The site map with the gifs of the Patlabor cast peering through doors is rather cute.

Neji Neji Dan (Japanese Language Only)
A fantastic site all about Labors. There's just about everything on this site that anyone would need to know about them including timelines, articles and best of all, the webmasters wonderful renderings of all of the Labors which not only appear in the manga and anime, but also his impressions of those only mentioned in obscure Patlabor reference books.

Sharpe SVII (Chinese Language Only)
A fantastic website which I had thought had disappeared many years ago. I luckily came across it again under a new URL.

Some more of the unusual aspects covered on the site are timelines for Labor manufacturers and a small listing of commercial plastic model kits.

Not a great deal here either, but it has a section on the Ingram AV-98 Labor. All the other sections are marked as "Coming Soon".

Anime News Network - Buried Treasure: Patlabor TV & OAVs
Justin Sevakis' fairly extensive review of the TV series and both OVA series for his regular column "Buried Treasure" from May 2008. The only quibble I have is that there are some factual errors regarding availability. There are no hour long compilations of the OVA or TV series (and never have been), and the TV and OVA series were (and still are) in print in Japan as individual box sets. Also Sevakis claims that the New OVA Series is called the "V-Files" in Japan. Um, no... Where the hell did he get that idea from?
