Have you watched The Next Generation Patlabor? Is it shit?
I'm waiting for subs but it seems no one cares.
I watched first two episodes but I'll wait subs for rest.

I hope you're patient, because Skaro is doing it. Granted, it doesn't help that the show is pretty challenging, translation-wise.
How well are the DVD/BDs of the older stuff selling? I wonder if Section 23 would consider picking up Next Gen.
Holy shit episode 1 was so good, the only thing that's missing is the Ultraman Seven uniforms

How so?
Only seen all the mini-series episodes. Haven't seen the movie.

You can kinda-sorta watch it without subs since most episodes draw references from the TV series.

I'll leave this here from their Project Status update:
>As I’ve mentioned many times before, this show is crazy hard to subtitle. It’s episodes are twice as long and jam packed with rapid-fire back and forth dialogue. But we’re still plugging away at episode two as fast as we can. Apologies to all you Patlabor fans out there for taking so long. I was kind of worried about starting this project in the first place because I had a feeling there would be a lot of months between releases. But for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend, no other subtitlers showed any interest in it, so we soldier onward.
I watched them all as they got released in the cinema here in Japan. I really enjoyed it. They feel a lot like Patlabor. There's a good mix of episodes, with action, comedy and drama based episodes.
The later episodes start to get a bit more serious as they build up to the movie (and much harder to understand!).
The movie itself was good, but I felt the ending was a bit disappointing. I would like to see a follow-up, but I have no idea if it successful enough for that.
I also went to see the new director's cut a couple of months back too, but the extra/extended scenes adding absolutely nothing. It felt like they were just trying to squeeze a bit more money out of the fans.
