Mobile Police Patlabor: WXIII
WXIII 機動警察パトレイバー
When the level of Labor accidents begin to escalate around Tokyo Bay, police detectives Kusumi and Hata are assigned to investigate. What they discover leads to a series of government cover-ups, conspiracy concerning a new biological weapon entitled WXIII-Wasted Thirteen and a tragic, personal connection to Hata. The only hope to stop this threat is to cooperate with the military and lead WXIII into a showdown with the Labors of Special Vehicle Division 2.

How watching this pays the artists
Every time you watch Mobile Police Patlabor: WXIII on a legitimate streaming service, a portion of that revenue flows back to MADHOUSE, the voice actors, the composer, and the animators who made it. Subscribing or watching on an ad-supported tier is how the work continues.
Where the money actually goes
Streaming services pay licensing fees to the production committee that financed the show. That committee distributes revenue to the studio, the publisher of the source material, the music label, and the broadcasters who originally aired it. The animators themselves are typically employed or contracted by the studio; their pay comes from the studio’s share of these licensing dollars.
Piracy doesn’t reduce streaming-service revenue evenly — it removes the underlying viewership that justifies future licensing investment. Less licensing investment means smaller studio budgets, lower pay for animators, and fewer shows greenlit.
Torinagi surfaces every legitimate option so you can watch on the service you already pay for, or on a free ad-supported tier if one carries this show. We never host video.
