Sometimes I hate being right. When I saw the premise for Active Raid on CrunchyRoll I tweeted this about it:

I think I liked this concept better when it was Patlabor… https://t.co/VkZloJH3Lh via @Crunchyroll

I gave it a chance just in case I was wrong, but after seeing the first episode:

I was right: I liked #activeraid better when it was #Patlabor.

And this:

Apart from anything else #Patlabor had adult characters. #activeraid

I rather doubt that I’ll be bothering with anymore of Active Raid. If I do it will solely be for the purpose of mocking it and frankly I’ve got better things to do with my time.
