Synopsis:

Set in a near-future where colossal robots known as "labors" are integral to daily life, the story centers on the Second Special Vehicles Division, a police unit tasked with policing these powerful machines. The division’s officers pilot patlabors – specialized patrol labors – to maintain order and combat crime, navigating the complexities of a society deeply reliant on advanced technology.

The series explores the blurred lines between human and machine, examining how the reliance on labor units impacts both law enforcement and the individuals who operate them. Through the everyday challenges faced by the Division's diverse team, the narrative blends procedural elements with character-driven moments, offering a grounded perspective on crime-fighting in a technologically advanced world while subtly questioning the nature of responsibility and control. It presents a realistic portrayal of police work within a unique, mechanized environment.
